i think it also is just funny to think about how this game situates after all the deeplore convoluted callbacks (which i love) that the series has done lately. nightmare had to be in Another Dimension, nova had to be a different star dream, dark matter had to be void

and the only other boss they didnt show being fucking Marx is so so funny. the 3D era riders feel like they were forced out of sakurai kicking and screaming

this mechanism is unintuitive, likely to have been what spurred the hypothesis in antiquity of "spontaneous generation", also known as "random encounter"

and then all day you go to hell

like this must have felt like 2016-2024 for them

happy birthday!
