I was talking about Hiromi exclusively to the show he's in. Ikki and Daiji still have some inner darkness within themselves, sometimes quite literally too. Ikki being possibly an unintentional attention-seeker and hides hidden resentment, Daiji literally having Kagerou, there's just Hiromi who is steadfast, pure, and honest (so far) in putting on the belt simply for protecting the peace and lives of the people. He's also pragmatic, something I like.
Edit: I also like to bring up something I just thought during this same scene. When Sakura said "what's the point of protecting others, if you can't protect your family?", just felt like she (during that time) has no ground in that argument since she's the only one in the room not wearing a belt and going out there fighting. It also kind of looked like she said that other peoples' lives pale in comparison to your own family. Yes, loved ones are important but so are the of others. Hope to see if they might bring them up once she gets her own belt. Quote:
Obv a little drifting, and hope you don't mind a note from outside, but as someone who also really appreciates classically heroic characters like Hiromi so far... and guys like Tsukasa, as well, that totally tracks for me? Because as much as a Character as Tsukasa can be throughout Decade, he also shows a lot of appreciation for the more classically heroically motivated AR riders he meets. If I like Tsukasa, why not like what he likes as well? (Think you could probably go down a similar logic line with Takumi too.)
In the end, though, I think it's not that one model of hero is always more fun than the other, but having a variety of models to react to and play off of each other makes things more interesting. Which, bringing it back to Revice, is what Hiromi has the potential to be with how much he contrasts the rest of the riders so far! Tsukasa's morality resembles secondary Riders more (though for his case, his secondary Rider Kaitou is even worse than him, while for Kabuto, the secondary Rider is the one being straight hero), and many of them warmed up to the straight-up heroic main Riders commonly (so they gotta have appreciation for those mains' morals).

Nah I was just referring to Hiromi in general. Between the two ends of the spectrum that is "Hiromi has the potential to go anywhere." and "He hasn't done anything since he was introduced.", I'm merely in the camp of "I hope they don't make his character gimmick something jarringly comedic in an attempt to balance out how serious he generally has been to this point..."

I think the reason why Hiromi fights by himself is because Revice already offed his demon in episode 1?

Now I actually liked Live's debut, but I have to agree with some of the criticisms about his design, as it does look a little generic. Maybe the visor could have looked more bat-like, or been a different color. Maybe his undersuit should have been a different color, instead of using Evil's because the colors feel a little off (Elemental Dragon comes to mind). But overall, when you consider how crazy some of the other suits in Revice look, he's definitely the weakest.
