Considering how he worked on W, I'd say what he did in Drive is not really driven by Gaim but his own way to bring Kamen Rider on police theme after detective theme used by W (I remember there's interview that said he's excited to apply police drama into Kamen Rider). Ghost on the other hand is obviously affected by Gaim with its similar kind of protagonist, one episode problem, rushing merchandise (if not, forms) that lasts only for 1-2 episodes, not to mention old mans that hardly tried to be important. Wizard is bland but I'm fine with that since I saw it similar to Showa Riders (experienced Rider dealing with strong monsters, now with help of gimmicks and far better choreography). |

I did not imply Drive was affected by Gaim, just saying it happens that since Gaim, the story has picked up a bit imo....
And I know that Riku Sanjo is the main writer of W and Drive, I think Drive is better than W, tho I think I am in the minority here XD

i am not sure Ghost's "dad form" is either tear jerking touching that should have been released during father's day or goddamn silly, i mean a sword/gun weapon that is a pair of sun glasses that could fit in the Eyecons which are disembodied eyeballs? well i think this is the first time in Rider history where you use your own dad as a power up.

Finished watching Blade. I really loved it, definitely among the best Kamen Rider series I've watched. They did a great job unveiling the mystery bit by bit (so many good twists!), the characters were all compelling and likable in their own way (except Mutsuki), and the action was nice.
One thing I was really impressed with is the design of the Undead. Most of them looked fantastic. On the Rider side, Chalice's suit was gorgeous.

Spoiler for Surprise Drive impression (contains spoiler):
Quote:
He may looks annoying compare to other Rider, but that's understandable since he's the youngest among them, so he want to prove himself to the point he crosses the line (similar case to Drive's Go). Not to mention, unique to other casts, his development came from his relationship with higher-up Undead, especially with Club category, represented by Leangle himself, tried to be a neutral faction hence I found Mutsuki compelling by his own way despite inferior to the other three (shame he didn't use his King Form, but that's his way to respect Shima-san after all). |

Regarding Surprise future, I really loved it! Reminded me of how fun Drive's cast was, especially when you compare it to Ghost's. The story was incredibly enjoyable, but then again, I'm a sucker for time travel stories.

He won't need to worried about compatibility issue or side-effect since the only hinder for him is Spider Undead (which should be sealed by the end of his character arc) while King and Queen obviously close and supporting him. If that happens, it'll make the end game harder to resolve since Mutsuki can stand as the third party that can held Blade King and Joker, leaving Tachibana on the corner wandering why he's not taking the opportunity of King Form before ... At first I do disappoint with the result of Mutsuki development too for the same reason, but after re-watch (some years later) and saw Spade King said he could take over Kenzaki, with Mutsuki as example-- I just realized that by the end of his development, King Form for Leangle would be so easy to achieve. LOL. |

Wild is not King Form despite similar mechanism due to its main purpose was to suppress Joker instead of just drawing power from them. Mutsuki transformed into Tarantula instead of King Form is because King and Queen focused on protecting Mutsuki mind to deal with Spider. If there's reason why Blade King is superior to other King Form, it would be because Spade 10 - Time Scarab which allowed him to control time at certain radius. |
