You know, I really liked Yoko most of the time. Before her character was totally ruined in the end.
My problem isn't even the whole "I follow Kaito"-thing. With a good build-up of being totally crazy about seeing the new King, like... being some motherly figure for the new king, this would actually have been kinda cool (I always considered Yoko very motherly towards Kaito anyway). But not only was the proper build-up for this lacking, THEY DECIDED TO FRIDGE HER. Honestly, what where they thinking? Her death meant absolutely nothing for ANYONE on this show. Here's how you take a good female character and ruin her by going with the trope that almost seemed to have been forgotten (aka female Riders always die). Thanks. As for Sid, his final scene had the same problem as Yoko's follower-complex. He said he didn't want to be anyone's lackey anymore... but we never saw that on the show. Yes, he was a subordinate to Ryoma and Takatora, but he was usually acting relatively independant. So his death scene lost a lost of its potential. It wasn't as bad as Yoko's, but it also not as cool as Ryoma's. |

I liked Yoko, but I feel that she didn't completely live up to her potential, mostly because of her follower mentality that others have already mentioned. She was definitely a badass fighter and could have been a serious contender for the Golden Fruit, it's too bad she ended up as nothing more than a glorified lackey for the most part. Still, she was far superior to any other female Riders we've had in the past, so it's definitely a step in the right direction.
Sid was one of my favorites though, he was a really fun character with his chronic backstabbing and just being an all-around unapologetic bastard. It helps that his suit was one of my favorites too, I really liked the Viking look. Too bad his Sid Lockseed ended up being mostly pointless though.
