[ ID: a digital drawing of tackle from kamen rider stronger. she stands against a blue background and is drawn from the waist up, lifting one arm to hold up a peace sign. she grins with her eyes closed. there are white movement marks around the edges of the drawing for emphasis. /END ID]
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
As much as I love Reiwa Kamen Rider, I really feel like they should bring back what I call the "Rider salesman":
Whenever old-school Kamen Riders got a new superpower, a guy who sounds like a computer salesman would come on and say something like "Kamen Rider's cyborg enhanced infra red vision lets him see through even the thickest smoke" in the most plain-spoken way possible and I absolutely adore it.
Also love how these powers would be announced completely out of the blue whenever the writers had painted themselves into a corner.
