I get that he was all eccentric, but yeah, he honestly feels like he's just a parody of the character now.
His character had such a nice arc in Ex-Aid, regardless of whether he ended as a hero or villain, and now he's just a portrayed as a cartoon character. It's disappointing.

Personally, I like both menacing and comedic Kuroto, but yeah I do understand the frustration of seeing a great villain turn into nothing but comic relief. In my opinion, he was at his best in the Another Ending trilogy which blended his menacing genius with his over-the-top shenanigans.

The problem is that Kuroto became so well-known for the memes that they became his whole character.

There was a point where I wasn't exactly keen on Kuroto as a character. That was mostly the Zi-O to Genm's 1 era where he got very touchy feely in his scenes. While I could stand his comedy, it became a bit too creepy if I'm being honest.

Idk, but to me it really felt like they toned him down heavily for the 2nd Genm's Special alongside the first Outsiders.

Also the first Outsiders special! It was alright. It's basically a capstone to Genm's and mostly just reiterates everything we know which is probably why they officially call it Episode 0.

I do find it funny how Smart Queen is like "Behold the peak of Smart Brain" and just transforms into Delta. Like idk if I'm unaware of Faiz lore as I have not watched Faiz, but I do have to raise my eyebrow at like Delta being fairly strong.

That being said I will congratulate Smart Queen in that she made Delta somehow last longer than Ark Thouser I believe.

Though with Genm having Musou and the tease of Ouja getting a Survive form, it makes me wonder if we'll have a team of evil upgrade Riders by the end of this.

My issue with Kuroto is both how he's portrayed nowadays in conjunction with him being the only part of Ex-Aid to get modern representation.
Like, yeah, Poppy was part of Girls Remix, but she was mostly set dressing.

I haven't watched all of Faiz, but I do know that Delta is fairly strong...At first.
The Delta system lacks all the gadgets and gear in exchange for being flat out stronger and faster than Faiz and Kaixa.
It's power crept out by virtue of not being the main or secondary rider, but technically speaking, Delta is strong.
[Also Orga and Psyga aren't canon, but that little bit of info tends to get disregarded ]

And I doubt we'll get a team of upgraded evil Riders. These are 10-15 minute TTFC specials. They'll probably drop the money for Ohja Survive, but no way in hell we're gonna be getting something like Scissers Survive

[Kurona]

It's definitely a bit of oversaturation, yeah. I like him well enough - aside from, as said, when it gets into creepy territory - but too much of a good thing is a bad thing and all. Everything in moderation, and while I'm no big fan of Ex-Aid it'd be nice to see some of the other aspects of that season people liked sometime; like maybe a special with Nico or Lazer.

(Also, I always liked Cronus more )

[Enchilada645]

Oh lol I wasn't thinking anything on the level of Scissors Survive, but given one of the main teasers we have is of Ren and Desast, it makes me wonder if we'll be getting a new Kenzan form out of this.

That being said given ZEIN is still a focus I imagine they've already dropped some money on them already to give them a suit.

[Mesnick]

I'm wondering, given that Oma Zi-O's face has never been shown on the show, do Toei plan to have the older Okuno So play it in 40 years? Maybe I'm looking too far into the future though.

Isn't Ohma Zi-O erased from history now?

Probably, but when did it prevent someone from returning?
