Out of my sight! Now!

On a side note, the actor who played Asakura is also in that one because he was on Changerion, but honestly, I never found him that attractive ^ This, pretty much. Saying that as a Heisei-born female, even by today's standard, Stronger is incredibly handsome. |

Ignoring your last comment. In what way isn't he a Main Rider? 2/3's of the entire season revolved around him, his sister, and his father. He took out what ended up being the main bad guy, Banno. I argue he was, in fact, the main rider of Drive regardless of what the series was titled.

Because when people say "Main Rider" they often times mean "Titular character."
Ichijou was more important to Kuuga than Kuuga. Ren played a bigger role in Ryuki than Ryuki. Onodera was doing more work in Decade than Decade. It don't matter, though, because they're not the main riders.

In Bandai's marketing way. And I'm not saying that he is useless, he inarguably got the most character development in the whole show (yes I can acknowledge that without having to like him) but the show is titled Drive, Drive himself is on the cover of everything and he's supposed to sell the most toys. That's why he is the main Rider of the show. And despite how much development he got, Mach is still a prime example of a secondary Rider. I'm one of those people. |

Is the show called Kamen Rider Drive? Then Drive is the main rider.

I think people are confusing "main rider" and "main character."
You can be a main character but not the main rider. |

My main problem with KR Drive is that Gou would have been a way more compelling main character. Shinnosuke is a total dud whose involvement with the show's central villains is completely superficial. Meanwhile, Gou is intrinsically connected to every piece of the plot and every primary character on the show on a deep, emotional level. Had the writers given as much (or more) screen time to Gou as they did Shin (they didn't, not remotely), the show could have been something special. But they chose to anchor the narrative to Shinnosuke, and despite a few great episodes in the middle, the show sunk. IMO, KR Drive is a classic exercise in wasted potential. |

Honestly I could't get past the first episode of Drive so I don't have much room to talk but Come on that Tire on his chest is probably the biggest turn off design wise not to mention the terribly bland character we were introduced to. As a police style character that was the most cliche backstory the could have gone with and I think it hurt the character in the long run but again I never really saw more than episode 1
