That'd explain it even though I don't know how anyone can make a sword from an engine block and yet the engine still works, it explains it.

Fantasy sword because they are always badass and I can shoot getsuga tenshou's from them.

Considering that Shroud built Accels Upgrade to pretty much kill him when he takes longer than 99 seconds to execute his finisher nothing surprises me with her.

Wataru not being completely human might have something to do with that.

A magic sword probably isn't crammed with so much stuff as a technological blade filled with functions.
For X or Y reason the engine blade has no way of "vanishing" like most rider weapons, it could very well be incredibly complex and hence heavy.

Coming to think of it, Shroud is kind of a dick.

Can someone link me to subs for the Gaim movie? With the soccer and such? Did Aesir ever do it?

Neither Aesir nor Overtime covered it. TvNihon is pretty much your only option that I know of:

Why are insects treated as a "Staple" to Kamen Rider when so few recent series make use of it beyond the large eyes on their designs?

It's because the whole Showa Era had a bug motif, and earlier Hesei Era had bug motifs mixed with different designs. Gaim's mouth plate thing to me always looked like Ichigo's mouth plate. Also the newer shows have some "bug" elements, in either their forms or parts of the suit.

But many Showa era characters were also cyborgs, but that aspect is incredibly rare these days.
I can see how the bug motif is part of Kamen Rider's legacy, but not how it's KR's staple.
