I understand.
But I think Gai's fault was that he was already a ranger before his actual appearance. I want Shunpei's to grow and mature over the series to culminate in him becoming a full fledged wizard, and this, a Rider.

Like in Blade, before all that Mutsuki business, when they had the Leangle Belt and Ace in hand, Kotaro briefly aspired to become a Rider to protect his sister and Amane. Part of me really wanted him to become Leangle, however brief. Those same feelings are now moving over to Shunpei.
