"Oh, Kiriko can't become Drive because reasons". C'mon...

That failed Henshin attempt physically hurt me when I watched it.

They could’ve easily kicked out that stupid Gou-character and had Kiriko become Mach instead, that would’ve been much better for the plot anyways. But no, we totally needed a character that appears out of nowhere and fights with the main hero for no reason.

At least Poppy was good. Even though her Rider-form was criminally underused.

I thought of her as a Rider.

She isn't classified as one and that makes sense to me, because if she counts then so would Mamoru.

If you want to think of her as a Rider then I can't (and don’t want to) stop you but last time I’ve looked she wasn’t officially a Rider.
