made a little something ill call “the spectrum of gay repression amongst secondary riders” bc it is a phenomenon to be studied. many thanks to @shoceted for his input. also feel free to add!! this is a community effort or something
Kamen Rider Wizard's formula for Haruto's backstory is really similar to Hongo's story if you think about it. Hot-shot cool guy who's a jock and can ride a motorcycle but has lots of Emotions and is kinda bad at handling them gets kidnapped and turned into something monstrous against his will, but his transformation was halted halfway through so now he exists in this realm of not quite human, not quite monster. Also the story being largely focused on just 2 Riders and a large civilian cast with a long slowburning plot and plenty of episodic stories
