There are a lot of Champions Of Justice in this franchise that are also sort of terrible people (Ex-Aid! Almost the entire cast!), so I guess I didn't think that I was implying that Otoya had suddenly become a shining beacon of altruistic service or anything. He can fight for justice as IXA and still have problems.

Nago certainly thinks he fell in love with Maya!

It's shown that fighting as Fangire Hunter with Aozora organization can temporarily delay the Fangires, but doesn't really make an impact to the Fangires, as seen in Yuri or Megumi always needing help from the Riders, and of course it'll be worse for someone like Kengo doing it. Dunno what you refer as Rising IXA's dance... but I thought it's just how the finisher work, firing an orange beam then Rider Kicking it.

Rising IXA does a little dance move after he detonates the Fangire, a little shoulder-shimmy to bask in his success.

For the Kengo/Wataru part... I mean, it's such a minor element of the episode that I really didn't mind that it was irrelevant. It gives Kengo and Wataru a bit of screentime together again, it pulls Kengo deeper into W.A.K.E.U.P., it allows for a slightly different type of action scene, and it lets the show flip that scene around when Megumi is back. It's doing a few small things well, even if it's not doing any big things.
