Just going by the recent episode, which I won't give too much away, which leads me into what the direction of the show could take, but this could change or I could be wrong.
Ikki has his inner demon Vice. As the show points out, Inner Demons represent a repressed negative emotion that's come to life. Vice is an egotistical loudmouth that feels the need to hog the spotlight, like when he does his 4th wall breaking. When Ikki says he wants to save people, is it because it's the right thing to do, or is he doing it to fulfil his own ego and feel superior to others, as pointed out by the lawyer.
Also making the villains of the show a cult is a good angle. The thing about cults is that, no matter how hard you tell them what they believe in is wrong, they will never deter because that belief is hardwired into their brains, since cultists take in people who feel they are worthless and shunned by society and then they feel like family to the person who took them in, though really, the person took them in because they're just a pawn they could use.
So basically what I mean is that, It could be a test of morality for Ikki.
Kamen Riders have been "Dealing with the Devil" in a way, but Revice is clever for making that a literal struggle. The deconstruction occurs where Vice seems like a despicable devil on the surface, but he actually has a great read on people (granted, he can cheat by looking at their hidden feelings but he usually doesn't even need to) and can give good moral advice occasionally. On the other hand, Ikki seems like a pretty selfless dude, but he's actually very prone to self-destructive behavior such as his ignorance of problems and how he sees people through his own distorted filter. I think Revice is challenging the idea of good and evil, by showing how something generally considered good can have evil qualities and Vice (haha, get it?) versa. Someone who doesn't understand evil can't possibly hope to defeat it and that's where Vice has been very useful for improving Ikki's morality.
