TBH, I barely even notice the belt when he's in action unless he's flipping switches on it.
I rewatched the episode and started wondering if the second episode might be a little darker, or reveal a hidden dark side to this episode.
[Hide]If Miura the football player really is the Orion Zodiart, I wonder if the way Gentaro handled it might have done damage to the "host." After all, Kengo starts yelling at Gentaro when he's talking about using the drill and Gentaro shuts him off before he can explain. All we see of the monster is the switch falling away; then Kengo comes out to attack him in Powerdizer.
He was previously advising him, yet now he's attacking him? It seems unlikely that he's just pissy about the guy using Fourze. Gentaro must've seriously fucked something up in the finisher. While I doubt they'll do anything as dark as "Gentaro killed a dude" in the second episode, it would be interesting if he was forced to realize this early that his recklessness had a consequence.
It would be an interesting way of doing it, to have an unabashedly exciting first episode and then rein it back in to the horror feel of Kamen Rider in the second.[/hide]
