You don't get to bring friends.
It's not so much the actor thinking he's too big but it's rather the agency deciding what he can and cannot take roles in as they have the ultimate say

Super Sentai and Kamen Rider have always been used to jumpstart stars. Back then they were action stars and stuntmen (with most making up JAC). Nowadays they're for models and upcoming actors.
They are handled by acting agencies, who pretty much are responsible for their acting careers and how much money they get from them. It's no surprise you get news like Shinken Red's actor having to struggle, or Kengo's actor quitting acting because of health issues. Or stuff like Eiji's actor getting his career shotgunned after supposedly being given a role in the Attack of Titan movie as something big only for it to be a character that gets killed early on, that he only recently rebounded via Pokemon web shorts and a medical drama. The actors are under the agency's control and are only bound by their duties there, hence why some like Fourze's actor being unable to return - because they've gone big and their agencies might not want them to return.
Then you get news like Tendou's actor quitting his agency and forming his own. That pretty much blacklisted him from most entertainment as apparently it's taboo but is apparently living a good life as being manager of his wife and raising his son.
Ugh, that's pretty terrible. Basically no freedom in the industry. At least it worked out for him.

She apparently was always part of the cult, but decided to devote herself entirely to it after being displeased by job conditions.
They killed off the bike lol.
Kiriya was barely even a bike with how few times he used his level 2 form.

Would you want to be a bike?
Good point.
I saw the other day she changed her stage name and is in a new movie
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
That image using Mega Heracross for Garren fucked up since he's the stag-beetle.
Yeah, I was a bit confused since Blade is the Hercules beetle.

I'm surprised that Sentai doesn't use GoGoV's helmet transparency effects more often

That is odd.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. Even something like Hurricanger's openable visors helps to give a bit more emotion to the characters on in-suit scenes.

Didn't Drive do this at one point? Type Formula's early appearances.
Someone over at /krg/ was photoshopping Ex-Aid Rider's to be helmetless at one point.

I think they also did something similar for Mach in SHTGP.

Dad Dan is a pretty good villain. He's a bastard, doesn't hide, and even if the characters can confront him, they can't really win. Even the way he calls the others by their Gashat, and not by the name, makes him so cool.
His effects on Pallad are also interesting. This has become a good three-way fight. After Ghost, it's nice to have so many villains this good.
And yeah, Hiiro was stupid. The plan would totally have worked. Well, at least his motives are better than Makoto's countless heel turns.
Next episode... he's back.

Dan is a pretty good villain for a Kamen Rider series. It's pretty than what we had last season.

same deal as zyuman plushies except now with humans
well the drivers were invented by yggrassill that squeezes lockseeds like that startup!
I mean the fruit will give you powers, just that the belts refines them.
I've gone from confusion to ordering SH Figuarts Chalice
And now we've got a spider-themed Rider. It's like the show knew exactly what I wanted
I kind of count them as biological since the source is natural growing things. Tho honestly I get them being tech based.

Gaim is Mystic.
Would be cool, easy to produce... but kinda risky, if the gimmick fails it will fail hard.
But really, Gaim is a different series, as it is a bit of Tech (Sengoku), Mystic (God Powers) and Bio (Hellheim fruits).

Yeah it would either be a hit or fall flat.
When was the last time we had a straight bio rider, who's powers are inherent. Or is that now the realm of Amazons?
Tiu Neo

Well, Amazons is that for sure. Before that... not sure? Most Showa Riders were, after their surgery. I didn't watch the early Heisei Riders yet, so I'm not too sure about Agito, Kuuga, Blade, Faiz or Ryuki. Kabuto had the Worms
and some of them were Riders, but that was not the origin of their power.
Oh, Hibiki's powers came from himself, but it's more of a Mystic than a Bio thing, I guess.
Yeah, in that case I think Amazon and Amazons are the only options barring
. And I think the same applies to Faiz?
@Neo
Blade is tech, even though it messes with them biologically (similar to the Showa Riders but without surgery).
Agito? Not sure how you would categorize Agito/Another Agito/Gills
