on one hand i do like that kamen rider as a franchise has an entirely new setting and story and cast of characters year after year so that outside of the occasional fun crossover you can just jump into any series with no prior knowledge as if it's its own franchise but on the other hand is there LITERALLY any reason why for just one time we can't have a season that's a light sequel to a previous show and have a previous rider as a mentor type character and follow up on those themes and have them in conversation with each other

#is it TOO MUCH TO ASK for a showa rider to be old and tired after years of fighting but find a spark of hope in a new hero #is it too much to ask for that hope to be contrasted against said showa rider's knowledge of the fight weighing on the soul #and seeking to protect said new hero while accepting their help #and to confront the ramifications of their legacy and impact and how a new hero would see their own future in that #is it too much to ask for dilf skyrider
