it really is kinda nuts how this year's Kamen Rider show is straight up "the villains are a meth cartel from another dimension and the monsters are street corner dealers paid in meth, and also humans are the main ingredient in making meth" oh and the protagonist is the meth cartel's reject son - ThreadSky

I've never given much thought to Kamen Rider but this post is making me consider checking it out haha

When Kamen Rider shows cook they cook hard. Seeing heavy concepts distilled into children's media is a fascinating exercise.

Sentai can be good at this too, and that's geared for even younger kids.

Children's media is the place you WANT to be shaping minds, mind you.

sorry no the monsters aren't dealers paid in meth, but they are paid in meth to gather drug ingredients where humans are the main ingredient

stupid brain

I'm fully expecting a reveal though that the Granutes for the most part AREN'T evil, because everything we've seen of them has been filtered through the meth cartel

it'd be like saying "all of Mexico is drug dealers" after seeing Breaking Bad; it's not true, it's just selection bias

also I use meth specifically for my analogy because a) it's an artificial concoction b) it has been BLATANTLY stated that when you're hooked you're HOOKED; like it's a "it only takes one" type thing

Having just watched this week's episode, you've hit the nail on the head.

It's hinted at in previous episodes that Stomach Inc. is just one of the Granute World's companies, albeit a powerful and influential one. And the latest episode reveals that their drug dealing has had negative consequences on their fellow Granutes.
