But I wonder if they're building up to a common antagonist across the franchise which necessitates all the heroes working together eventually in an Avengers Endgame-esque moment (like maybe a season with a full length run which is Project RED's final work before they resume Sentai or do something else)

Or maybe each half-season show just gets resolved in the next one ad infinitum (eg Gavan Infinity's loose ends wraps up by the end of Omegahorn, while Omegahorn wraps up in the next show)

Personally I feel the latter is more likely just because I don't think the actors will commit to a multi-year project. The Gavan actors supposedly auditioned thinking they were going to be in a Sentai, which typically runs a year or roughly the same length as two Project RED shows (if all the succeeding shows do the same as Gavan Infinity's). I don't think they would have accepted their roles if it was much longer (or, indeed, much shorter) than what they expected to get when they auditioned.

Also, it's unlikely they'll commit to a vague, nebulous capstone project years down the line, when they could have other things they could work on by that time. Though, considering Omegahorn was supposedly already in the works even before Gavan Infinity was announced as the first show, maybe they already worked out how that will happen and have the actors on board in some capacity.

If Reiji's MIA in his universe, wouldn't that mean they have to choose a new Gavan? Especially since it seems like he abandoned his post rather than just being captured...

They already told us Patrun was 2nd only to Reiji in the Gavan exams... he even had an entire episode about having the selflessness that would make him worthy of Gavan. And WaniPat were already working closely with Daisuke and AGI in the last few episodes, plus were tasked to look into their own Supreme Leader. And now any Gavan candidate can gain the ability to travel to other universes so they could work with the other Gavans...

It all seems like a buildup to Patrun becoming Gavan himself, doesn't it?

But if they make Patrun or anyone else Gavan, does that mean Reiji would forget about being Infinity, like with Kiki when Koto became Luminous? Everything he's been through with the other Gavans and his own team, just gone? Might that be why he's on the villain side in Omegahorn? Like it's a "he's found amnesiac in the Omegahorn 'verse, the villains take him in, he joins them to repay them for saving his life kind" of thing?

Or does his weird Nega Emorgy juju or him being off-world mean he's immune to that shenanigans and something else is responsible for his actions in Omegahorn?

It starts with Daisuke berating Reiji for going off on his own, being reckless, not contacting anyone, etc. Reiji may or may not be arguing back depending on how little life preserving instincts he has lol

Somewhere in his ranting Daisuke admitted that he would've followed Reiji anywhere if he'd only asked. Yes, even if that means going rogue from the Galaxy Police. Yes, even into hell itself.

When Reiji asks him why, Daisuke yells out in exasperation, "Because I love you you fucking idiot!" Then pins him to the closest vertical surface and kisses him. Reiji is shocked at first but almost immediately starts kissing back and it turns into a makeout sesh with groping and all

Also this is occurring while the Omegahorn cast is watching. They are watching the argument with interest, then when the makeout starts Shout and Giriko scream in horror and cover the twins' eyes to preserve their innocence while booking it outta there. Enkaku has to be dragged away lol

Soon the makeout sesh goes from a vertical surface to a horizontal one and clothes start flying off

Reiji gets slightly insecure about his "performance" because while he's had lovers before none of them were Daisuke (whose opinion he cares much more for compared to everyone else he's taken to bed), and because once they cross that line there's no turning back. But Daisuke just reassures him saying that he knows Reiji will take care of him and Reiji gets all revved up again lol

Sometime during that Reiji switches from using Daisuke's nickname (Taisan) to using his actual name and it drives Daisuke into a frenzy, especially when Reiji uses it to profess his own feelings for him.

Daisuke later wakes up, alone in bed, somehow dressed in his pjs. He's despondent for a moment, thinking maybe it was just a one night stand or maybe even a dream, but then he hears fabric rustling in the room.

He gets up to see Reiji getting dressed... but instead of his outfit when he was with the Ibaru Alliance, it's his original outfit from Gavan Infinity. Daisuke watches with a wide smile as Reiji dons his red jacket and picks up his Gavarion Trigger and Gekido, who titters in excitement

(Also imagine Love is the Strongest starts playing here lol)

Reiji turns to look at him and smiles back. He leans over Daisuke to press a kiss in his hair. Shout and the others need him, but he couldn't leave without saying goodbye and promising he'll be back. Daisuke, in return, promises to wait for him.

After one last kiss, Reiji runs off and when he gets to the battlefield, he fights off the mooks hassling Shout and co effortlessly untransformed. The Ibaru Alliance member of the week calls "Reiji the Ironclad" out on his betrayal, but Reiji just smirks. "I'll show you why I called myself that," he says as he activates Gekido to put in his Gavarion Trigger. "Jouchaku!"

Meanwhile, Daisuke watches the footage of Reiji transforming into Gavan once more with a proud and relieved smile.
