But, really, that wouldn't even have been as much of a problem if it felt like there was a reason this story needed the casts of both Saber and Revice to tell it.

This one wasn't for me!

Oh, no, I agree with you there.

Those two have a likeability problem, the dad more than the son, but yeah.

And it really doesn't feel like a story that needs either Rider.

Like, Generation Forever is also about a side character, but it thematically and narratively is a story that only really works because it's a ZI-O story, and they find good ways to incorporate Build thematically as well.

Here, removing the fact that Diabolo supposedly is Giff's family, a concept ripe for exploration in a show about family, is super easy. The only thing that raises questions is the stamp association but that is easily changed.

He's generic in the worst way.
