Considering it was called the "Arsenal", I would have put money on Magical Musketeers and/or Springans as options.

Not so new here I just want to throw in my vote and also can someone actually explain what Kamen Rider is to me I know it as is relationship to Power Rangers and it being it's Dad effectively when I'm assuming it's deeper than Japanese Power Rangers

Power Rangers is the western adaptation of a series called Super Sentai. It uses the same suits as the Japanese original and reworks some footage, while adding and changing things via a new cast of Western, multiracial actors, occasionally turning a male Yellow Ranger into a girl, and just adapting and translating it.
Super Sentai started in the late 70s, but about 7-ish years earlier, Toei, with the help of a guy named Shotaro Ishinomori, made Kamen Rider, about a guy who was forcibly turned into a cyborg by an evil organization to be used as a weapon, but was released by a moral scientist and started fighting against them.
Kamen Rider continued throughout the 70s and into the 80s, took a haitus aside from some movies in the 90s, and got started right as the millennia swapped over, where it's been running as the slightly-more-dramatic older brother of Sentai. It varies on the year, obviously, sometimes you have comedic series, sometimes more dark ones, but instead of focusing on a team of 5-6 who have roughly equal footing, Rider tends towards smaller casts of combatants, usually with a hierarchy where the MC gets the lion's share of the cool toys, the secondary gets a bit less, then a tertiary with even less, etc.

@ScorpioSting gave an explanation much deeper and succinct than anything I could give, so I'll just leave this metaphor that I thought up during dinner here.
Don't think of Kamen Rider as the dad of Power Rangers. Think of it as the dad of Super Sentai, and Power Rangers is the offshoot cousin who's really similar to Sentai.
Edit: Also, forgot to say this in the first version of this post, but thank you so much for voting! Knowing that readers are curious and willing to ask questions about the things I'm writing about always makes me happy.

The good advice is better so that there is as healthy a relationship as Rei is capable of involved in all of the chaos. Plus I just don't think bad advice is funny?

Not changing my votes but I just looked through what the M Alice cards do and... well I think I found my new Link deck once theyre in Master Duel. I really do like their shtick. Never played a Link Deck before but I can try.
Hmm... MrKermie plays SwrdSoul... if anyome else plays yugioh what decks do you use?
I started with a DM deck, made a Subterror deck after some awesome plays in another quest Im reading, made a Lyrilusc Deck for the Water and Wind event currently ocurring (fuck Icebarriers and the lv10 Icejade boss) and my current deck is a Yubel and Generaider hybrid (still need one more copy of both generaider XYZ, but its solid). Adittionally im making a Voiceless Voice deck since its appereantly the strongest Ritual deck atm. Now I only need a Simple Synchro deck and im golden, well that and try to get more cards for the Illusion Chimaera deck.

IP & SP feel more versatile than Alice and also aren't tied to a stronger form that needs to access, which means that it is a strong form right out of the gate, so I slightly prefer it more than Alice, even though the latter has its own advantages.
my real issue IP Masquerena & SP Little Night it's clearly setting up the building blocks for a thief Guild archetype where they have less abilities and downsides and exchange that can rapidly switch between them and I rather not be locked in depicting stuff because it's more practical

Oh yeah, i forgot about this. Master Duel player here, my main deck is Chimera, though I have a lot of other decks on the side like Vampire, Blue-eyes, Eldlitch, etc.

For Master duel my main deck is probably Punk though I do have a couple other decks which includes Dragon Maids
Punk is a pretty good Synchro deck though it also uses fusions I will admit though not a lot it is part of the main combo
Speedroids to my knowledge are pretty simple synchrodeck though I do not play them they are also a part of a top tier deck in NR format if I remember correctly speed Magic I think is the name
Also to my knowledge the main deck that monsters for the base form for Ray is a pretty simple synchroduct though it's most famous for just kind of Calamity locking so you know not the best

Well you did give Centur-Ion as an option at the start because you thought they were Power Rangers inspired, so I'm not surprised the ACTUAL Sentai/PR archetype is one you like. I bet you were considering them for one of the options at the start, weren't you?

Guilty as charged. I decided to keep them either a filler option for any Kamen Riders who I can't find a suitable third option for, or as one of the Card Spirits for a certain group of people. Depends on what happens in the story.

"Why is there so much laughing? WHERE'S THE LAUGHTER COMING FROM?!"
"And they say that the treasure of the glass Labrynth was pilfered long ago… what?"
"Perhaps I could teach you a technique to talk to the spirits in your head without speaking out loud. That might help."
WHAT REASON DO YOU HAVE FOR FIGHTING, INTRUDER?

And now I'm remembering all the club bangers the music producer RedOne made in the late 2000s and early 2010s. I will have vintage Gaga, Pitbull, and Usher stuck in my head!
