Lol at the fact if the were to be true, Then Kirko can just shift straight into the final form

Interesting idea. I guess we'll have to see.

Actually, I'm looking at it another way. We know that the Drive and Mach Systems depend on their user's emotional state. I think the reason Shinnosuke was able to become Drive was because he was depressed after the whole "injuring Hayase" thing. That meant his emotional levels were at zero.

Chase rarely shows any emotion, and never seemed to back when he was Proto-Drive. I think that at first, the user of the Drive System needs to be at an emotional zero to get the power to stick to them, and that Kiriko couldn't do that because while she seems externally cold, she's quite a passionate person and couldn't quite dial it down enough.

Or I could be talking nonsense, whichever works.

You actually might be on to something.

Everything all of you are saying is making a whole lot of sense. Why aren't people like us writing these shows?...

... On second thought, that might be a disaster...

A gloriously awesome disaster.

It could probably end up well but then we might miss do well from the writing perspective either, so we would probably be best editing the scripts so that things stay more consistent.

... Suddenly the name "Drive" takes on a new meaning.

Mind = Blown

Speaking of, I found the RAW of the first episode of Type TOKUJO. It looks like all four of them are meant to be one continuous story, so there's only really setup in this one.

Not quite a raw because it has chinese and japanese subs, but thanks anyway :D
