Gridon? I'm assuming you mean Ornac, so Jounouchi, right? I thought he was absolutely worthless as the show would have been the same without him. He was nothing more than a comic relief lackey who did very little to the main plot.

The whole point of Gridon's entire story arc is that he wasn't the most competent fighter of the Riders, but he doesn't have to be. He started off the series being a slimy, cowardly pest who would readily put his friends in harms way to get ahead, but then he matured, started to feel regret and take responsibility for his actions and, despite not being the best fighter of the group, still fought to protect what he loved and do what he thought was right.

Yeah, Gridon may not have been as competent as the other cast members but that just emphasizes how courageous he is. That's the whole point of "Never Give Up!"

I mean, his character arc literally reinforces the entire theme of the show. Which is more than you can say for Sid, mostly because he didn't have a character arc.
