The "tears" have been a kind of tradition ever since the original Kamen Rider. Not all Riders have them, but a lot do have some kind of black point or line coming down from their eyes (see Build for another recent example). If I remember right, they're a symbol of the Rider's sadness at wanting peace but needing to fight. And since Ark-One came into being through Aruto's grief at losing Izu, it makes sense that its tears would be huge!

Yeah the tears are one of my favorite design aspects of Rider. Even though its mostly a Showa thing, I think there are always other elements that signify the internal turmoil of using violence to solve violence.

Now that I really think about it, it makes sense that Kamen Rider Saber's WonderRide Books and Seiken Swordriver has extremely long jingles; the Drivers are reading books. You don't sing those things out (although if you do that, well, you do you).
Doesn't really make them any less tedious for me but still, kind of a nice touch. |

As soon as I hear "Select, Crystal", I know I can let my brain relax for a full 30 seconds, if not a whole minute.

A really subtle one: Banjo in Build is really good at guessing Best Matches. Sento wonders why this is.
It's because Banjo is part Evolt, so he knows all the bottle combos |
