Oh right, I just noticed too that, other than Keiwa asking for other Riders to team up like Emu did in another Yuya Takahashi series, both Keiwa and Emu also has been called out by the people who has tricked him before, Ace for Keiwa, but also Kiriya for Emu, when Emu keeps being honest without thinking of the consequences.

I was one of the people who speculated about Keiwa's turn, so I'm curious to see if this is the point where he focuses his energy on a more attainable desire, or continues to zealously push his ideal of world peace like he did in the lounge.

I'd like to see how Keiwa processes this later on, but honestly like I said in my ep. 1 review, though it's purposely established as Keiwa's arc, there's a misconception of how personal desire/wants and concern about others inherently compromise each other, you can be only one or the other, and it should stop honestly. It's just a writing choice (with Keiwa not the only one). Like, when someone helps others, the most heroic ones would try to protect not only their lives but also smiles, but when they're not helping others, like being alone, they should be still able to fill their time by pursuing their personal interests..

Especially since he doesn't know about Michinaga's friend or Neon's family drama.

He certainly did at the beginning (esp. accusing Ren as child eater, though who called him out was Yui instead), but even later on, there'd be some people who still thinks Shinji refuses to understand others, probably just simply by Shinji putting his own wants above theirs (and his eventual wish is affirming that). There seems to be a misconception that "understanding others" automatically means that you must agree with them and let them have their way. Even this can extend to someone who calls out another who are morally wrong in general, that they're dictating how they live.

Said Neon's family drama was the reason how she gets some of her fans but especially Keiwa's own sister Sara, wonder how'd he react to this after dismissing Neon's appeal in his talk with Sara earlier.
