Misuse of Game Breaker


* How come Fueki never used any of the GameBreaker powers Wiseman displayed when fighting as the White Wizard? We saw that Wiseman could instantly absorb all of Infinity Style's mana so why doesn't he do this during their final duel?

* Every Phantom who has escaped from their respective Gate has a true form, one that's smaller and more humanoid than in the Underworlds. So let me ask a a question: Why during the climax of the show when Kosuke got the Beast Driver destroyed did Chimera remain the same, despite not being bound to the Driver's Underworld!?

** Chimera isn't a typical Phantom. Typically, Phantoms are the embodiment of despair and malice of the respective Gate. Chimera himself is an anomaly, having been out and about before being presumably sealed within the Beast Driver. His chimeric form is his true form.

* Sorcerer used Philosopher's Stone to create Magic Land, basically overwriting reality itself. That bears the question: why reality altering at such massive scale requires less magical energy than reviving one human?

* Wizard had a time ring that allows him to send people(and probably himself) through time, which he only used once to send Fourze and friends back five years to the future in Ultimatum, and why hasn't he used it before like to stop the first Sabbath or to prevent Koyomi from dying? If Den-o taught us anything, the concept of a StableTimeLoop doesn't really matter in the world of Kamen Rider.

*** Rising Ultimate Kuuga, cool as the form is, as I am very much a fan of its design and power, is an gimmicky anomaly to begin with. Its very existence undermines the terror of the being we know as Ultimate Kuuga, the form that everybody was so afraid of in the original. But because its simply the Amadam stone getting stronger, and with the power of electricity (glad to see they remembered that), it doesn't bother me TOO much. No, what bothers me most is...

Its One that even, quite honestly, was a massive letdown after being so hyped up, and in the same movie it was introduced, since it got so handily beaten by the AR Shadow Moon. Never mind that its very existence undermines the terror of the being we know as Ultimate Kuuga, the form that everybody was so afraid of in the original.

*** ....MOMOTAROS. USING. LINER! I call absolute bullshit on symbolism, because if that was the case, then all the more they shouldn't have used Liner, because that was RYOTAROU's form, not Momotaros', meaning if ever we see Liner, it's supposed to be an Imagin-less Ryotarou. ANY attempt to explain/justify why Momotaros can access Liner is automatically bullshit considering the form's genesis and purpose, the amount of work needed to give Ryotarou a means to fight on his own when his sync with the Taros was failing, and thus was deprived of his ability to use any of the forms. Since Ryotarou still wasn't the kind of person to be able to manifest his own special form, unlike Yuuto, the Taros had to jury-rig Plat Form into something usable, and it represents the growth of Ryotarou on his own, hence why he could transform straight into Liner w/o the DenKamen Sword process. As it is, the only reason that does make sense is a behind the scenes one, that they somehow couldn't get even just Climax Form's costume, or worse, it got damaged or lost, which is rather sloppy on studio's part if they were planning this sort of crossover.

** One COULD try to justify that Agito's powers, and all Seeds of Agito in general, are of similar psychic powers as the Lords, given both Agitos and Lords are manifestations of the Overlords' powers. However, that's as far as any parallels between the Rider and their respective kaijin goes in Agito's case. And besides, the whole thing seems rather forced to begin with, like their origin was THEIR fault, that their being linked to monsters makes them sinful and evil. Otherwise, the Showa Riders, who are unambiguously heroic (to parrot a reviewer, fuck Kamen Rider Taisen) despite most of them being altered into transhumans against their will by evil forces, should also be seen as sinful monsters that should atone. But the thing is, there's no sin in their being given or gaining power similar to the monsters, and therefore have no such sin to atone for, all because they all chose to use such powers to protect people from those who would see to rob them of their freedom to live their lives. If they do have sins, it's certainly not because of the nature of their powers.

** My cents on the form issue, with ascending order of frustration.
*** W CJX should've been in his Gold state if that's the case, since it came from being backed by the wind of Fuuto.
*** Addressing the K-Touch reason, even if Double to Wizard presumably doesn't exist in the K-Touch powerset, the logic remains, so Super Tatoba doesn't make sense either.

** For that matter, why did ''Agito'' lose his power? He gets his power from the Seeds of Agito - said power was given to humanity by the Overlord of Light so they would evolve beyond the control of the Overlord of Darkness; however, the monsters from ''Agito'' aren't people who lost control of the Seed of Agito (which, going by the other connections in the Cross of Fire, would be the ''Agito'' version of the Uncontracted Mirror Monsters in Ryuki or the villainous Imagin in ''Den-O''), but rather, monsters created by the Overlord of Darkness to hunt the Agitos down. I guess it wouldn't bother me so much if they had shown him stealing the powers of ''Series/KamenRiderX'' or ''Series/KamenRiderSuper1'', since like Agito, those riders got their powers from sources completely unrelated to the villains they fought in their respective series.

* Forget the part with Den-O in episode 53: during the part where [[spoiler: Amadum steals all the rider power sources]], why did [[spoiler: having the Arm Monsters taken from him]] cause Wataru/Kiva to lose his powers? Sure, losing them would reduce his arsenal, but they aren't the source of them; his power comes from Kivat the 3rd and the Fuestles.
