Thinking about this Greg Heffley-esque blog post made by the guy who played the young version of Tendou from Kamen Rider Kabuto

it's always funny when they bring back a previous rider more than a decade later and they've got a normal ass look now

but it's even funnier when they don't

Sword gays showdown - preliminaries

Propaganda:

For Tendou Souji:

he loves making fun of Kagami and also fighting Worms alongside him. he got his sword by quoting grandma and saying "i'm awesome" in a forest and a sword fell from the sky

For Kendal:

Named himself after his sword, which he inherited from a god after he became the second occupant of said god’s incarnated body. The sword summons blue starfire given enough power and kinda maybe has an eye in it sometimes. Kendal is also canonically ace!

He's the current occupant of the incarnation of the body of Vash (A city god) He did not have a name originally, so he named himself Kendal, which means sword in his region of the Aurora world. He primarily fights using the sword of Vash (god), which is made of a magic metal found beneath Vash (City) As for the LGBTQ+ part, he's asexual. (This hasn't been mentioned in comic, but the creator has said that she has explicitly written him as ace, and has drawn heavily of her own experiences)

Woke up this morning thinking about how most of the Riders in Kabuto are introduced as if they're Tendou's new rival but quickly fall into his narrative gravity and just sorta orbit around him sequestered in their own corners because they're competing for the same spot and the path of heaven is narrow

EXCEPT when the Hoppers becomes the Hoppers and they don't even care about him anymore because they're seeking the exact opposite (Hell) and they fully escape that tension and gravity. They're almost able to escape Kabuto itself, they've got it figured out

(Similarly, Kagami goes through the same cycle from trying to use Kabuto, then TheBee, which have established types, until getting his moment by continuing to try and be the very different kind of hero of his own story to the kind of hero this show actually has. The HBV of all things is entirely about this)

It's not that Tendou /is/ The Best Guy, he's just more himself than anyone else in the world has ever been themself, and you can't be the most you by trying to be someone else, you have to be you

In other words:

Kamen Rider Kabuto is the only show ever maybe

P.S. this bit in the final episode:

I used to think it was a sweet bookend but a bit out of nowhere...fool that I was. Fool that I was!
