By the way, this episode should please everyone who misses Shinobi, because in it a ninja rider saves his sister. For complete similarity, it remains only for Ace, Michinaga and Jamato to confess their love to Sarah.

Ironically, Shinji's character development in Ryuki at the end had him probably pulling something similar to Keiwa here. He spent most his time on the series being conflicted if him stopping the war is the right thing if it denies the other's wishes, and at the end he made up his mind to have his own wish in closing the Mirror World so there's no more bloodshed... regardless of other's wishes. Though I have some conflict here that, if it's actually fair for Keiwa to prevent dangerous wishes like Michinaga's (lesser version of Kanato's) or someone he knows is untrustworthy in Ace to see the light.

What differentiates between preaching and actually true heroes chastising wrong behavior (general dialogue), for you? As, what someone do between fights is important too, like something can have same outcome but different individuals, like someone who fights off monsters to protect, or someone who takes out their vengeance at monsters who happened to threaten civilians. Though, some people were speculating that Keiwa will turn heel in similar way Daiji w/o Kagerou did in Revice... even at the series announcement.

But you can agree in advance and write a common desire. Or fulfill wishes in turn, because the games are quite short. Not with this team of riders, of course, but in a different scenario.
Precisely because the game clearly loves Keiwa, I think that DGP needs altruists. For the Ninja and the connection with him is clear, but Boost falls into his hands from the qualifying round. If this was the aforementioned extremely improbable scenario, it would be the most entertaining DGP to watch. Every Rider, Jyamato and sentient Raise Buckle fighting to protect Sara.

While it's possible for approximately 30 Riders to unanimously agree on a shared desire, it would be an extremely improbable scenario. For taking turns to grant desires, then there's the problem with desires that would cancel out others, like Kanato's for human extinction, which means some people have no choice but to only rely on themselves.

I feel like Keiwa's development is more like Shinji's earlier behavior of preaching to stop the fighting, before he learned that the Riders all have their own personal reasons for fighting and he started to accept the nature of the Rider War, while continuing to resist it alone.

Whaaa? Why did they do that to Keiwa? Like, should we <redacted> to <redacted> now?
Also why does the annoucer lady shows a menacing face when she announced that <redacted> is <redacted> ? |

I hope Keiwa comes back again in future battles. Alongside Ace & Neon against the Jyamoto.

Oh right, I just noticed too that, other than Keiwa asking for other Riders to team up like Emu did in another Yuya Takahashi series, both Keiwa and Emu also has been called out by the people who has tricked him before, Ace for Keiwa, but also Kiriya for Emu, when Emu keeps being honest without thinking of the consequences.

The difference between pointing out that someone committed bad deeds, compared to repeatedly telling someone they need to stop committing bad deeds and be more like them instead. Like maybe suggest it a few times in a diplomatic way, but if they keep doing those things anyway, then it becomes preaching. I was one of the people who speculated about Keiwa's turn, so I'm curious to see if this is the point where he focuses his energy on a more attainable desire, or continues to zealously push his ideal of world peace like he did in the lounge.
Quote:
To be fair, the show has only just begun. In addition, Keiva seemed to respect Ginpen's motivation to save his sick son. And Shinji resented Kitaoka's dream of immortality, until he found out that he was ill. It?s just that the desires of Keiva?s competitors are difficult to imbue. Especially since he doesn't know about Michinaga's friend or Neon's family drama.
Said Neon's family drama was the reason how she gets some of her fans but especially Keiwa's own sister Sara, wonder how'd he react to this after dismissing Neon's appeal in his talk with Sara earlier.

Why 30? A couple of veterans offer such a condition to adequate beginners and everything is fine. Speaking of Kanato's desire, given that the organizers of the DGP are interested in protecting the world (or at least claim to be), it seems to me that he would not have been allowed to win anyway.
Regarding Kanato, yeah, I doubt the DGP had any intention on granting his desire, not in the way he wanted anyway. They never specify the conditions for desires, only mention that they vaguely exist, nor do they ever tell him, "hey, you can't write that", so it seems rigged to allow people like him to provide fighting experience for the other Riders and examples of what happens when you get Retired or Mission Failed. The main problem with trying to co-operate in the DGP is that you can't trust anybody. Ace, Kanato and Morio have all used charisma and deception to the detriment of inexperienced players like Keiwa and Neon. Co-operation can be used to someone else's expense as well, like how the villainous Elephant and Gazelle teamed up to get Touru killed, which is the reason why Michinaga prefers to keep the game as a fair free-for-all.

I'd like to see how Keiwa processes this later on, but honestly like I said in my ep. 1 review, though it's purposely established as Keiwa's arc, there's a misconception of how personal desire/wants and concern about others inherently compromise each other, you can be only one or the other, and it should stop honestly. It's just a writing choice (with Keiwa not the only one). Like, when someone helps others, the most heroic ones would try to protect not only their lives but also smiles, but when they're not helping others, like being alone, they should be still able to fill their time by pursuing their personal interests.
Quote:
He certainly did at the beginning (esp. accusing Ren as child eater, though who called him out was Yui instead), but even later on, there'd be some people who still thinks Shinji refuses to understand others, probably just simply by Shinji putting his own wants above theirs (and his eventual wish is affirming that). There seems to be a misconception that "understanding others" automatically means that you must agree with them and let them have their way. Even this can extend to someone who calls out another who are morally wrong in general, that they're dictating how they live.
EDIT: I just realized this is my 1400th post!

I think fans of Neon are familiar with the light version of her drama. It is unlikely that she posted on the Internet how her mother gives her a slap in the face.
