What makes a series "Dark" is simply how it's written. How the characters act and react, motivations, goals, and histories.
Death does not equal dark. Death is just a crutch to make a show seem darker and more adult.

Excellently put.

『仮面ライダー鎧武』脚本の虚淵玄氏「フルーツは邪悪なイメージがないから困った」　ニトロプラスが衣装や一部の怪人デザイン、脚本協力に参加

・武部Pが虚淵を起用しようと思った理由はまどか
・声優の杉田つながりでコンタクト(キバのキバット役、ガルガンのチェインバー役)
・フルーツを発案したのはバンダイ。フルーツと錠前はストーリーに深く関わる
・戦国武者はビジュアルのみ
・ニトロプラスが衣装や一部の怪人デザイン、脚本協力に参加

Buchi is annoyed by the image of fruits not being "evil".
Takebe uses Buchi because of Madoka.
Sugita did the connection in between.
It is Bandai's idea to use fruits. Fruits and locks have close connection to the main story.
The Riders only have the look of Sengoku Musha. They don't act like Sengoku Musha.
Nitro+ assisted in monster designs and scripts.

Nitro+ helping out makes me a little more faithful for this being another Urobuchi bait-and-switch.

I hope it actually ends up not being so...fruity and can actually live up to the likes of Ryuki.

That said, this whole forced "juicy" meme has got to go.

My question is how do you make a show about a guy who Henshins with a giant orange splashing on his head in juice, watch the trailer there was juice, serious as Kuuga and Faiz?

That would take some fantastic writing.

Devil fruits.
Rather than giving you special abilities like those in ONE PIECE, the juice slowly turns you into "something else"/Invess...

It is really fun to imagine.
Toei: We want people in armors to be Riders. We want battle royale again, as in your ideas in Madoka-Magica.
Buchi: That is fine. So how do we tell who is who while all of them are using suits of armors? Are we going back to Ryuki format?
Bandai: We use fruits.
Buchi: FRUITS!?
Bandai: Fruits turns into armors, also their identification. Work like Mirror Monsters.
Buchi: WTF!?
Toei: ..... Let's work on it.


Also episode on how Aikawa Shou got to write the 2 episodes to bridge Wizard and Gaim.
He got the job because 1) he has time, and 2) they thought he has more knowledge on other Heisei Riders than other producers.
