Kamen Rider Ryuki Rebooted?

I could have been a fan of Kamen Rider Ryuki if it wasn't for that rather IDIOTIC reset button ending done by executives. It's really clear that Yasuko Kobayashi planned on killing everyone yet that was stopped with a reset button. So really, what happened? It's also probable that Megumi was brought in by Toshiki Inoue only because executives forced him to write. No, I don't think that there was a Rider War as some fans suggest. Now, it's time to think about how Kamen Rider Ryuki may have been rebooted unless one wants to treat it as an alternate universe like Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

I remembered watching Kamen Rider Ryuki's alternate ending written by Inoue -- something that may have been requested by Toei after so many fans hit them due to how WTF the ending was. At least Spielban and Kamen Rider Build kept character development for the main characters! Ryuki made it look like it never happened all because of executives. Parental complaints? Maybe. Then I thought about how the show features Another Ryuki created by the Time Jackers to be a mirror version of Shinji. So it's almost like a rewrite or reboot of Ryuki's ending. Heck, time's flow has started to go for the worse with Zi-O and I don't think Kento Shimoyama can pull it as well as Yasuko Kobayashi did it with Mirai Sentai Timeranger!

The Mirror World also brought in some interesting concepts back in 2002. Who can remember how frightening it is to get trapped into one? As long as there's a reflective surface then it's giving an advantage to all contestants in the Rider War. It also brought in an evil version of Sougo who tells him that he can never change the path of an Evil Overlord. Both Black Woz and White Woz are playing into the events as well. White Woz is more determined than ever to prevent the day of Demon King Zi-O from happening!

I also like the character development that Geiz goes through in this show. He's hesitant to actually destroy Sougo before it can happen -- I think he'd rather destroy Sougo when it's about to happen. I don't blame him especially that he's not a villain. I wonder what Tsukuyomi can do in this show -- she no longer believes that the Day of Demon King Zi-O will happen. But will it happen or will it not happen? I even feel like that these guys really need to do something to stop it from happening. Like I said -- I always feel like Sougo's ascent into evil will be because he stole the answer key to an entrance exam, a sushi bar explodes and then he becomes evil as a result! Wild guess only but what if that's what's in the mind of the writers right now?

Anyway, next week we will get another Kamen Rider known as Kamen Rider Kikai. Now Sougo will be studying for his examination (presumably to prevent himself from becoming an evil overlord) but will he end up stealing the answer keys? Oh boy, is Butch Hartman now employed by Toei Ltd. after he left Nickelodeon after the latter fell down to several levels of oblivion since this decade?
