well, if we *really* want to take the silliness to 11...
Mamoru Chiba, rightful reincarnated ruler of Earth and destined cradle-ro^D^D^D^D^D^D^D^D^D^DOne True Love of the moon princess, is injured near unto death in battle with the Negaverse. His body is grabbed by a shadowy organization and reforged with cyberware, turning him into a hideous form with far greater fighting power. He escapes before he can be brainwashed, and takes to the roads. With his body made metal, he can no longet dance the rooftops like once he did and so instead he rides a motorcycle. His actions help thwart the Negaverse, and he himself brings down the terrorist organization that spawned him, and he spends the rest of his days riding the Earth that is his true domain, writing wrongs and healing its wounds. His story grows - of the masked man on the motorcycle, always wherever he is most needed, protecting the good and chastising the evil, thwarting those who most need thwarting. A Story grows around him - a legend - and when finally he falls in battle, sacrificing himself in the process of saving a major city from an incursion of extradimensional evil, the powers that be offer him a new place, a new name, an opportunity to compete for a wish - perhaps to set the world right, perhaps even to be as he was with his destined love, before his horrific conversion made him such that she could not bear to be with him.
Servant (Tuxedo Kamen) Rider
...and while we're at it... did anyone notice that our good man Tuxedo Kamen was a Prince of the Earth? That he and the girls were reincarnated beings of power from an earlier age? That they were brought back into themselves by the intervention of an "animal" named *luna* with the power of human speech, who had been alive since that time, and knew them in their earlier selves?
Honestly, I think it would just be really entertaining to see Luna finally flip out and kick in the Deadly Beastman Transformation.
...and on a rather different note, has anyone noticed the dramatic similarities between Angel and Darien? I mean really - cradle-robbing Dark Mysterious types, showing up in the lives of high school girls who've just been gifted with amazing powers so that they can fend off assaults by Evil Things from other dimensions, who are themselves turned evil for a while before being dragged back to the side of Good. Surely *something* could be done with this.
