I hope I didn't make it sound that way? It's more that I want characters that have recurring appearances to have a distinct perspective, which Nozomi definitely has. I know what her goals are, what her fears are, and how she relates to a few different characters. I have a sense of who she is.

Beyond that, though, it'd be nice if, as Kurona said, she had a little more going on narratively. She has a bare-bones character, defined solely around Mutsuki. Giving some additional characteristics would've been a smart move for the show.

I don't remember all of those (the Tachibana/Mutsuki one isn't ringing a specific bell), but, yeah! Tachibana has a lot of problems! He's better than he was before, but he's not well.

He's a lifeform, too! Joker winning would be intensely bad for him, and I'd think he'd view the Riders supporting Chalice as a little hypocritical.

Got it, thanks! I've never done the JoJo's series, books or anime. It does sound a little similar to Clock King!

It's a nightmare, and this is coming from someone who's spent his entire life invested in American superhero comics publishing.
