I think while I was watching, I was wondering why the characters (and the show as a whole) kept trying to make this plain guy who just wants to go home into a rider. I know it's a common cliche to get an unwilling hero into action but like, there's not only no reason why it specifically has to be him, but you're also not currently lacking for options!

The most askance I've ever looked at Kusaka is when he was screaming at Mihara that he can't go home, that they have to fight, that they won't have a home until they defeat the Orphnochs.

And I'm just like, no? It doesn't seem like the Ryusei School alumni (at this point in the story, because I'm sure Secrets Abound) are getting picked off by Orphnochs. It seems like they're throwing themselves into dangerous situations and then getting murdered. Like, it definitely feels like Mihara could work some office job, get a drink on the weekend, rewatch Parks and Rec, and do all of that without fearing for his life.

When Kusaka's berating him for not embracing a life of mortal combat, it felt like Kusaka was in the throes of whatever brain fever keeps the other Ryusei students from having a goddamn ounce of self-preservation. I don't think all of Smart Brain is desperate to end the life of some dude who just wants to get through the new season of Westworld! I mean, it's not a great season, but they probably won't kill him for watching it.
