I'm catching up (just finished 26) and had a neat thought...with just a bit of tweaking this show could have EASILY been Kamen Rider Mach. It could have started with him chasing Gun in the US then heading here to find the bumbling detective...and all the drama with Chaser, and of course Chaser would have been his true secondary Rider with Drive almost being a support character like G3 back in Agito.
Just a thought... |

Just a thought... I feel that could work, now if only there was a version of Drive where Chase is the proper main character, a man can dream.

I think the series would have been better with Chase as the main character, and not Drive.
make him not know why he fights roidmudes, and have shinnosuke be the guy who is the G3 of the series. also, cut down on all of the shift cars.

The problem is that the whole show was build around the dude driving the car and the gimmick for the toyline. Of course they could've swapped that around, but that's obviously not what they had in mind.
And it would not work that well IMO, Gou is a horrible character to focus on, I can't stand him for too long. And I feel like Chase works better as a side-character, would he be the main character the whole story would focus on him learning to be a human, and I think it's one of the more boring backgrounds for a character. If you apply it to Agito it seems good of course, because Aguito was a great show. But it also makes no sense. |

Just a thought... You saying Philip should be main character than Shotaro? Or Kengo be the main character than Gentaro. You want to know why Shotaro, Gentaro and Shinnosuke are main character than Philip, Kengo and Chase? They are trying to help them with problem they having but doesn't know about |

I still will say the series would be even better if Chase was the main character.
I like the idea of a hero learning how to be human. like, my ideal situation is that kiriko hands him something like a cake and he has this deadpan look on his face as he's stuffing it with cake. I JUST WANT CHASE LEARNING HOW TO BE HUMAN! MAKE A KIKAIDER KAMEN RIDER! cuz the last Kikaider attempt went pretty bad.

It could work with Gou as the main character but I really don't like Gou's character at all, I think Gou is the one of the weakest parts of Drive.

Kikaider is actually the reason why I don't want a Robot as a main character in a Rider show, that's Kikaider's schtick. Kamen Rider's was Cyborgs, and I want to see more of those. Getting your body violated into something you never asked for and using it for a greater good is a much better setting than the wooden doll who wants to be a real human boy. It also works well with biologic transformations, that's why I think Gills is really cool, but I like Cyborgs better. Rider 3 with his awesome design (Shackles!) could actually work very well in his own light IMO. Maybe he does even for a movie villain, haven't seen Taisen Grand Prix yet.
Also, if we talk about what Drive should've been like, well: Kiriko with her background of not knowing about her father and having the secondary Rider being her brother (even if it is Gou) who knows about this could've delivered some excellent tension. And honestly that's what it is at the moment, only that Shinnosuke is in between of it trying to find out about his dad. Which is the best plot the show had yet, but still a big cliche. The way I see it, taking Shinnosuke with his very little character development and switch places with Kiriko who has a much better place in this setting could've worked wonders. But poor girl got a vagina, so she can only be a PreCure or die as a movie Rider Hurr durr. |
