Back in Black
The focus of a story usually is not the setting. The focus of a story is the characters. This is middle school material. I should not go over this.
Do you not want to protect your home? Stopping drugs from destroying your home is a good reason to fight to protect your home. I think so, but there always is some person saying that one thing is subjective because that person believes that it boosts intelligence points or something. Who is this Takeru in the Double series and why is he so important that we must abandon everything for his sake? We know that Shotaro has lived in Futo and that he has developed strong feelings for his home. Like I said, this is done over the course of his entire life and to see that we would see his entire life story. We do not need his entire life story. All we need is to know that he wants to protect his home as most people do.
Foundation X is not like Interpol. Foundation X had many bases and it's assumed that some are very busy elsewhere and that they do not have the time to dedicate resources to defeating Kamen Riders in Futo. They do not concentrate defenses in one place because it leaves others vulnerable.
Please rewrite that part about Shotaro and Kusaka. I don't know what it means.
The Museum is the core of production. You remember that big structure underneath the museum? No one had a true loyalty to the Museum. That was one of the major points. It is why Saeko left and Sonozaki Ryube only did business with them to advance his own plans. Sonozaki knew that they did not share the same vision as him. Double was created as a part of the bigger plan as well. I don't even know why I would address this because you went on a tangent.
Skull does nothing for the series. All we needed that was related to him was Narumi. That's it. Narumi serves his purpose by leaving his teaching with Shotaro. Shotaro is a steadily developing character, but the whole point is that he is well-defined. He is not the main dynamic character. He influences change in other characters. Think of what happened with Raito and Terui. Raito did not care about anyone and Terui only cared about revenge. At the end of the series, they all become friends who fight for justice.
I don't think that you were paying attention during the series. You probably were judging people on their looks and you connected that to everything else. How could you miss Raito's development?
Shotaro's love for Futo is not stressed on every episode. It only is mentioned a few times because we already know it. It's not like he's saying "Futo! I love Futo!" every episode. Narcissistic? Shotaro? No. You need a dictionary that doesn't cost 25 cents. He tried to save Terui from being lost in his revenge and he saved Wakana and he defeated Utopia because he wanted to save his friends. Most important, it was Raito's wish. He did not transform until the last fight with Utopia because he did not want to lose his friend.
Shotaro and Philippe complement each other. That means that they complete each other or combine their strengths. Shotaro is a natural detective and Philippe has the access to almost anything in the world. They understand this and they work together.
Are you saying that Shotaro can't be good because he is good? There is no facade. He is a simple character. Keep in mind that we also would see these things. Kusaka in Kamen Rider 555 is a great example.
