I do see what you're getting at though. Takeru does have goals and a life outside his ridering - or, uh, he doesn't have life, but... you get what I mean - but it's just that it's not seen or communicated in an active capacity. As I recall it's mostly his crossover appearances that express this a lot more, even if just in a small sense - Heisei Generations Final shows him looking after the temple in his last scene, while Drive/Ghost deals with his legacy a lot more directly. I must admit I'm struggling to remember a point in the series where, even if he expresses care about this stuff; he's actively pursuing following his father's legacy beyond being a rider and doing temple things.
He's kind of shown to be doing something like that in the very beginning by researching the luminaries; ie looking into something his father left behind and he feels is important. But it doesn't feel like we get a lot of those moments in the series afterwards.
It is the
best show
.
Also, you made me realize something that maybe explains the way some people can be, like, "Takeru doesn't have goals", while other people can be all "He totally has goals": his goals as a spiritual character are inherently difficult to dramatize. If (
if
) we're meant to see his adult growth as being connected to his Buddhist beliefs, how the eff do you portray that in a 22-minute television show that's designed to make children ask their parents to buy them toys? That is a high goddamn bar to clear! "I want to make friends" or "I want to be a better doctor", these are easy things to communicate as goals, and easy things to show when a character is more skilled at them. Is Takeru getting 1.5% more enlightened each episode? Is that what he means by wanting to make his life burn bright? His enlightenment?
Did... did we just crack this thing
wide open?!
