I'm not sure I'd say 'grimdark' of Faiz? It's in the general direction of that, but I think I'd more likely use 'dour' or 'moody'. Which is to its credit; it's extremely good at all this, but it's not quite my thing. Though perhaps Fish will be happy to hear that on 555 I've gone from 'dislike' to 'I really respect what it's doing and am very impressed at how well it does it'! That's my christmas present to him, I suppose.

I'm not sure what you mean by "but how's for him if directly compared to other characters of the same type" - I think something was a little lost in translation there - but if you're asking my opinion on the other main riders in the show so far?

- I really liked Yagumura at this point and very much agree with everything Die had to say about him; I love that fantastic balance between "genuine good guy, but too egotistical" that is so uniquely Kabuto.

- Tendou I unfortunately have to say I'm simply not fond of; like I said before, I think the way he's written he walks an extreme tightrope between perfectly likable or perfectly dislikable depending on your tastes, and for me he falls into the latter. A very marmite character.

- Kagami I used to like a lot but I forget why now, hopefully this thread will remind me.

- Daisuke is basically Zolda, and like him he's a popular Inoue character I'm not fond of myself.

- And to agree with I think most the thread at the moment, yes, Kageyama absolutely sucks.


It's the Tsurugi and Yagumura show for me, I'm afraid!
