If anything in Geats, perhaps a goth/emo rider. Pastel gothic perhaps?

I like this theory.

I think a vicious female Rider villian might be a nice change of pace. Even Reika at her cruelest carried herself with a level of professional coolness to her (same with Marika!), so why not someone with a more....rawer personality as a villian would be interesting! (Dunno if I'd want Asakura-levels of venom, depends on what kind of work the story is, but someone who revels a bit in the chaos they wreck is a nice first step.)

As for someone on the heroes' side....not sure? The chance of a female main Rider seems as low as always, so why not have our typical rival Rider be a woman?

I kind of wonder if they'll go experimental with the bike again or just go back to a normal bike...if we even get a bike.

Or maybe they'll pull out something new.

I dunno why this consequences thing applies to female Riders specifically cause like. Thouser's not a woman and is infinitely worse. Like. One of the best examples of scumbag characters getting off the hook way too damn easy

I honestly still kinda think that we were robbed of a cool female villain with Aguilera. Her redemption felt a bit flat with me since even though she was the initial villain, we never really saw her doing much evil. I mean she did give orders but we never really see her do much on her own. And the one time she actually tried to do something, she was thwarted by Kagero.

I hope that the next female villain leader we get remains evil through the end rather than have them be redeemed.(last one I remember was Redyue)

Also at female riders, I hope they actually give them spotlight and a character arc that isn't reliant on them being paired with anyone. Sakura was a fine character but I think too much of her arc was spent on Aguilera.

Aguilera was a start. I'm happy for Sakura & Hana to connect.

But yes, we need a REAL main villainess. Whether it's an evil queen/princess/witch/sorceress. That includes some number of main villainesses where are some are redeemed and some aren't.

Yeah, aside from her annoucement to the general public in episode 1 and the attempted poisoning, Aguilera pretty much loses all her "villain" factor by the time Olteca declares himself the real leader and the she was just a figurehead (which in retrospect was likely the writers trying to lampshade this).

There was Azu from 01, her whole thing was manipulating people to "Spread the will of the Ark", although I suppose that would make her more like a lackey finding new masters than a leader in her own right.

Speaking of Azu. I never watched the Zero One movies but did they actually defeat her or is she still running around doing evil things?

Thanks. It'd make sense where KR Geats is coming from.

KR Zaia killed Azu when he revealed his master plans to replace Ark with MetsubouJinrai

Everyone have thoughts on the number of riders? That includes how these will fit into KR Geats

• Secondary Rider: Hopefully not another "Kaixa/Kusaka"
• Tertiary Rider: Someone better than Delta
• Quarter Rider: ?
• Dark Rider: I picture someone like Kiba Yuji/Orga with a horse vibe

How about the villains too? If the main antagonist will be a villainess, wonder if it'd be a queen/princess/witch/sorceress?
