a
past Heisei Rider to come back for this role who wasn't Wataru, and Takayuki was down for it.
And this is the thing that bugs me about it the most: this is a series that had previously been great about New Actor = Different Take, Classic Actor = Classic Take, which is a very smart way to do it! You want to take a different run at Shouichi from Agito? Cast a different actor! Now you can do whatever you want, like
make him three guys
. But when you bring back a classic actor in a classic role, it's
incredibly
difficult to then ask the audience to not bring their knowledge of that classic role to bear on the story. It's kind of stupid to do that, as a writer? It's baffling that a series that was (under many writers!) pretty great about not casting previous Rider actors as off-model versions of themselves, to suddenly
at the finish line
bring in Kenzaki's actor to play a massively out-of-character version of Kenzaki.
Like, I think your take is right (it's pretty much what I saw Wataru as in the premiere), but it's enormously distracting.
