Gun does not see Akiko... Gun is disappoint...

Gun has controversial opinion

Seeing as it is my job to be the unpopular opinion, it's no surprise I like Akiko too.

I like her too, but A: I don't want to piss off Terui, and B: She's hated for quite a few reasons iirc. It's a Broken Base situation

Kamen Rider Marika.

That's a very compelling reason.

Okay maybe I should clarify my reasons for picking her. One, Terui is awesome but Akiko still wears the pants in their relationship. Two, she's absolutely adorable but that's not really it. My main reason (and this is also the reason why I think she's the best lead female in all of rider history) is that Kamen Rider is a very weird and off the wall show and while most females like Hina, Koyomi, Yuki, and least I forget Mai (the worst of them all) Akiko is one of the only females who gets to regularly partake in the weirdest as opposed to the others I previous mentioned who are mostly there to look cute.

The only other that I can think of off the top of my head is Tomoko and while she is hands down my favorite of the Fourze girls, she unfortunately became bound to Ryusei's hip towards the end of the series. Though I'll admit, seeing her as a award winning author in the Wizard crossover movie was awesome enough so I guess we can count her as second place for me.

All the Fourze girls were pretty damn awesome. Miu has become my favorite after the last re-watch because I really like her leadership qualities and how she is really concerned about everyone and everything.

Even Nadeshiko followed the "awesome Fourze girls" trend when she saved Yuki in Movie Taisen Ultimatum.
