Maybe this is just me thinking about what comes after in the show, but I do think the big emotional beats between Tendou and Kagami are most ideal happening early on like this. We got those first few weeks getting a rough idea of how this dynamic works, one being the super smug, super competent hero, and the other the more naive 'sidekick'. That dynamic probably isn't going anywhere quite yet, but this episode drives home that there is and will be more to it than that, I think.
Glad to see Kabuto's had the chance to rock your socks off this early on! I want to just say that while I'm not super attached to insect motifs despite knowing their importance to the franchise as a whole... I think Kabuto is maybe the definitive modern Kamen Rider design. He's cool, sleek, and probably simple enough for a child to draw and still be identifiable. Also I probably say this about a lot of songs, but Full Force, the insert that first played in episode 2, is one of my favourite songs in the whole franchise.
Yeah, it really -- OH SHIT
I forgot something!

A QUESTION
I got so caught up in what was going on in this episode that I forgot to ask a discussion question! Sorry!
This episode's got a couple different sibling relationships in it: Tendou and his little sister, and Kagami and his little brother. There are plenty of great familial bonds in Kamen Rider (except for dads and sons, because ALL DADS ARE DEAD... not counting Kagami's dad, as will be introduced next episode), but
what is your favorite sibling relationship in the Kamen Rider franchise?
Two rules: please don't mention anything from Den-O through Decade or Zi-O up; and please don't make a Specter/Kanon "sibling relationship" joke because you're better than that.
Sorry this was so late!
---
Anyway, where were we?
Yeah, it really works, this weird grounding of Tendou and Kagami. Having these total strangers (basically) have to deal with this massive trauma of Kagami's... it's definitely a unique start to a friendship, this Trial By Fire weightiness. It was a real surprise to see the show hit this hard, this fast, but... Kabuto! Thematically appropriate!
