Suddenly struck again…

… By how much better the 01 vincinexts coulda been if it was a spy/detective genre about Horobi and Fuwa going vigilante w/ Jin as their smart mouth side kick while Naki and Yua operated in a more official capacity but covertly passed them info and asked them to handle stuff off the books, while Ikazuchi is just periodically already in the establishment like a cat someone fed once.

#Kamen Rider Zero-One #Kamen Rider Zero One #while I have Thoughts about the overall results #the Yua - Naki and the Fuwa - Horobi partnerships are honestly A+#like let's be real Gai shoulda faced criminal charges and Yua and Naki shoulda taken over ZAIA Jpn #I still don't really associate either w/ AIMS #but Fuwa becoming the new mbjr's token human is too perf ^^#but for each of them they just… line up perfectly #Yua and Naki are about moving on from their mistakes (Yua's got quite a bit too go but I think she can get there)#and sort of looking towards the future #Horobi and Fuwa are dealing w/ the lasting effects of what happened to them and the parts of their pasts that they're still missing #and are more focused on what they can do in the present and trying to find who they are now #Yua and Naki come across as much more comfortable w/ that #plus you have the similar traumas #Horobi and Fuwa were manipulated and used as weapons and treated as less than people #while Yua convinced herself she was doing it all completely willingly and Naki was so beaten down they just accepted it #there's still plenty to change but I did appreciate the bare bones that was there #I really wish the parallels between AIMS and mbjr had actually been properly dealt w/and explored w/ proper respect #bc they are actually quite Good #Horobi and Naki are such perfect parallels to Fuwa and Yua respectively #and I'm ultimately glad that at least one partnership got realised and the other wasn't as COMPLETELY derailed as I feared #Horobi and Fuwa are my faves and are perf they are meant to be partners #the way they operate just aligns so perfectly #top class vigilante team would like to be saved by #Binary Retro Rider
