Post-premiere..
She's already my fav, glad she's part of regular cast this time!

Its been fun actually being able to watch this as it comes out.

The rider kick is just too fun. I love it.

Yeah, I like the opening song, but the actual opening just feels off with the song. Its weird, it doesn't match up very well.

I am enjoying these two part episodes. I think it is too the shows benefit, letting the nightmares get more complex stories to them.

I will say, saw the first suit that is clearly not going to be used as much. The quality difference between the main suit is... oooff.

Thank you Toei for doing the video on Nem's actor, clearly stating she is 16. Because now I have to worry how the show is going to handle a 16 year old idol...

Luckily the last 2 episodes did not go gross with Nen, I was very scared. Still not liking the implications of the accident happening 4 years ago with a 16 year old actress.

It is not unusual for Toei to hire a young newcomer actress or idol, Sithborg.

In fact, at 16 years old (now 17) Nem's actress isn't the youngest ever to be hired by Toei.

Its dating back to Kamen Rider Den-O when Kohana (the main heroine) was played by a 8 years old at the time, and just 2 years ago...one of the villain in Gotchard, Atropos played by a 2014 born actress, so she was 9 when Gotchard aired in 2023.


And in Gavv, Lizel was played by a 15 years old actress, and also having her character got married (it was a gay marriage though as she married Jiip Stomach, the one on the right in the 2nd pic)



So, I think nothing to be concerned of, Sithborg.
This is barely the first time and Toei has been professional to their employees.
Though admittedly, yes, one or two out of ten, there were one or two scandals behind the scenes, notably the sexual harassment by the producer to the female staff, the stalking incident involving Yui Asakura, the actress who played Aguilera (both from Kamen Rider Revice BTS), and most recently, the scandal involving Imamori Maya from No.1 Sentai Gozyuger, who reportedly is having an affair with a 41 years old stunt actor. But all of that were the behind the scenes drama, no relation whatsoever of how Toei has handled the actors in their stories within the shows.

I have seen enough of idol culture, with a spectrum of Japan, Korea, and Thailand, to be uncomfortable with an idol being a minor. A lot of jokes I had in my head about Nem being in everyones dreams died when I learned her age. And yes, modern Toei isn't likely to be skeevy with it. Still uncomfortable in my view.
