I hope I don’t have to explain how stupid of a name “Letter” is.

y’know i appreciate whoever threw this obvious fake leak together for putting Lady, Kabuto’s stage show exclusive female Rider in there instead of going with Sasword or someone equally normal. a bit strange using (who I assume is) Leangle for the 6th ranger when the rest of the silhouettes are of Kabuto Riders, but I do like the willingness to pull from more than one source.

He doesn't use a belt, he doesn't do a kick, is TheBee even a real Kamen Rider?

Woke up this morning thinking about how most of the Riders in Kabuto are introduced as if they're Tendou's new rival but quickly fall into his narrative gravity and just sorta orbit around him sequestered in their own corners because they're competing for the same spot and the path of heaven is narrow
EXCEPT when the Hoppers becomes the Hoppers and they don't even care about him anymore because they're seeking the exact opposite (Hell) and they fully escape that tension and gravity. They're almost able to escape Kabuto itself, they've got it figured out
(Similarly, Kagami goes through the same cycle from trying to use Kabuto, then TheBee, which have established types, until getting his moment by continuing to try and be the very different kind of hero of his own story to the kind of hero this show actually has. The HBV of all things is entirely about this)
It's not that Tendou /is/ The Best Guy, he's just more himself than anyone else in the world has ever been themself, and you can't be the most you by trying to be someone else, you have to be you
In other words:
Kamen Rider Kabuto is the only show ever maybe
P.S. this bit in the final episode:
I used to think it was a sweet bookend but a bit out of nowhere...fool that I was. Fool that I was!

Watching Kabuto and meeting Kamen Rider TheBee got me thinking
What other rider would be the funniest to add "the" to?
I contend: Kamen Rider TheWizard

Athena Cykes as Kamen Rider A-Bée!
(comes from abeille, French for bee)
Where Apollo's suit was based on Kamen Rider Zero-One, Athena's is inspired by Kamen Rider Zero-Two and Kamen Rider TheBee. I really like the idea of her using Widget as part of her Henshin, having to insert it into her Sunrise Driver.
Her suit was a lot easier to design than Trucy or Kristoph, I'll tell you that!
Below the cut is some development sketches

looking at the chou taisen war teams for real is super funny what do you MEAN
ooo was in this thing 3 times (for a blue team, a flying team, and a high speed team)
bravo's on team women?? hello???????
knight's here, for a flying team, sure why not
drive's blue form is on team high speed, with go-ongreen
team detective doesn't have go-onblack, get fucking rekt
odin has a spot on team card
thebee gets to be here so we can have enough members on team insect, as kingoh was not yet a thing i guess
team dandy, which apparently means "over the age of 30 during their run", has hibiki and kyoryublue
team takaika has kamen riders that were 5'6, 5'9, and 6'0 respectively but all played by the same suit actor
yellow owl and ryugen are on the same team? what did raito do to deserve THAT??
lazer was on the same team as den-o gun form, zangetsu, and shinkenblue, and what in the fucking world

"CAST OFF! CHANGE MANTIS"
So Ive got into Kabuto and had burning need of making a Kabuto rider so here we are with cold and distanced Kama Nukegara aka Kamen Rider Makiri.
Main idea for her design was just me going after stealth theme and excuse to use one of my favourite bugs. Plus TheBee has wrist stinger so why not make wrist blade? Her civilian fit is loose reference to the first Mantis rider- Riderman.

king sentai king kingranger will have Zyouh TheBee
ghh like a zyuohger just in the mix? in don kaito fashion this time we're making micchan a character in kingohger? could be fun.
if insect royalty were a real motif then i do think bee would of course be a logical pick for yellow. though we did just have a queen bee kamen rider a hot minute ago, so. hm.

WormWatch 2022
We've watched up to episode 10, completing the TheBee arc. Wow, what a fantastic arc. Really crystallized so much about the themes of the show and Kagami's character. I hope Kagami serially dates several zecters.
Hiyori is pretty much confirmed as a Worm, quelle surprise, unless humans can magically repair technology by touching it. Could there be a connection between the bug-themed villains and the mysterious bug-themed magitech that provides the heroes with their powers, in this, a Kamen Rider series?
Kagami has dropped down the WormWatch leaderboards because the show just gave us a (very compelling, imo) fantasy metaphor for his identity issues, so him being a Worm could still be good but has less to add to the narrative.
I go back and forth constantly on Worm Tendou... at the moment, I think what we saw in Hiyori's flashback makes more sense if he's human.
Top three... hmmm. Let's say...
Hiyori still top of the list, natch
That guy at Zect who's Kagami's immediate boss (...commanding officer?)
Kagami's dad for basically the same reasons as Zect guy. I don't know if I think they'd both be Worms though.
