And my guess is for the next show. What if the rider after Geats is a firefighter or a lifeguard? This will provide an interesting and yet untapped setting for the franchise, bring it back into the heroic mainstream after the selfish protagonist, and create interesting antagonism in the crossover. And it will also be possible to devote time to the reflection of a hero who wants to save people, but choosing between his work and the role of a rider, he is inevitably forced to neglect someone.

Honestly, I'd think that, occupation doesn't necessarily picture someone, like assuming that having noble occupation (like firefighter or lifeguard, or soldier which generate hero worship) means they're immediately true heroes and those who aren't are out of touch of others' problems. I mean the people in those occupations also can be self-serving, like taking that job only because it's the best paying job they could get, or outright unethical or corrupt.

Geats has actual firefighter in Takeshi who was accused as having ulterior motives by Michinaga, but otherwise you don't need occupation like firefighter to want to save people, like Keiwa (restaurant employee) and Neon (celebrity). The latter or Riders like Ittetsu (with Takeshi's wish being unknown) would also be an example that wanting things for themselves and caring for others isn't mutually exclusive (which can apply on main Riders like, Ikki's soccer dreams) - of which for Ace too the part of him helping people is genuine, his problem is being unethical (applies too to people like Tendou who is even worse).

This was also the reason why I brought it up in Die's Saber thread, that, doing something out of Duty and Oaths doesn't necessarily mean they're necessarily that noble like the occupation expects, of which I personally would value actual inner desire to do good more rather than obligation.
