This better be the last time I have to talk about Kamen Rider Faiz for a while.
In an alternate continuity from the main one, Takumi, Mari and Masato are going about there daily lives with all the new characters you've probably already forgotten about. (And if you somehow do I know you just went to the wiki.) When they get a new pet goldfish courtesy of Mari who picked it up off the street with even Takumi liking it (Secretly you know can't let people know he is nice.) But when the fish goes missing and someone ends up dead its time for a murder investigation.
Anyway I am guessing that this was something that Inoue was more contractually obligated to make rather than something he wanted because it just feels so... quick in its pacing, we are quickly introduced to the cast, the set up, and the case in 7 minutes, we learn nothing about these characters and it just feels rushed. And I know it is just me theorizing but Inoue has never been a man who wants to write what he doesn't, he often doesn't advertise the toys beyond just hey they exist, and when it comes to specials, it is someone else doing it with many of the donbrothers specials, hell I get the feeling with the Donbrothers vs Zenkaiger, he also didn't want to do that and merely retread an old episode. And it is just that.
Because well... you can really guess what is going on, all the setup and the characters trying to figure it out, because you already figured it out as you wait for them to catch up, a good mystery let's you feel like you may be able to figure out who the culprit is, or if the culprit is obvious, just how exactly they almost got away with it. Murder case doesn't have that, and you barely have time to get to know anyone and it has nothing to do with Paradise Regained, so it just feels so worthless, if you want to see them hanging out that really doesn't happen as mot of them die off until we get to new faiz and kaixa fighting an orphenoch in a below average fight scene and it just ends... yep 17 total combined minutes wasted. I... I don't think I need to explain that this is awful, if you seriously think I thought it was okay good for you but this... god I am happy I hopefully don't have to see this series or anyone from it ever again.
