specifically I don't know but yeah, given that parental issues happen a lot bad parents should at least be shown as such and I can see how the Japanese culture of 'respecting elders' could sometimes not always have good results if they had, for example, outdated views. I do kind of think most industrialised countries do basically have similar problems though!

Other recent Rider shows have featured good relationships with parents (or guardians, because yknow, kamen rider, All Dads Are Dead) that don?t feature the whole like. Respect Their Absence thing.
I know that?s? *sort of* a spoiler, but it?s basic minor setting stuff and I figured it?d be interesting to illustrate that post-Build, this particular trope appears to be vanishing. Sentai and Ultra seem to be following this trend recently too come to think of it
It's definitely a trope that was already on the way out by the time I came in during Ex-Aid (Hiiro's dad is super-supportive! As is
Kuroto's
dad, actually!), which is maybe why I didn't really hate the W part of Movie War Core until recently.
When I was starting my journey with Kamen Rider, I'd done Ex-Aid, then the first season of Amazons, then W. When I hit Movie War Core, I'd experienced mostly solid family relationships (even in Amazons!), so the whole Skull Can't Wait To Go Into Hiding stuff was just a weird story beat to explain why Akiko was so mad in this movie, not the most recent in a long line of frustrating excuses for poor parenting.
It's watching over a dozen additional Heisei shows with that trope that made me recognize it better, and I'm happy to hear that Ex-Aid -- pioneer that it was -- started a trend of minimizing one of my least-favorite story concepts.
