Well, at least JGP only lasted 9 episodes and gave us that awesome Sengoku Game, whereas KR Chronicle lasted the entire second half of EX-Aid and became repetitive. And at least it's not the Work Competition arc.

A fun female Rider isn't exempt from tragedy though. I think Neon's big heart is the reason why she suffers so much, that she's full of love for her fans, but was born out of coldness and betrayed by the future fans for being an artificial lifeform. Her desire for true love, whether it's platonic, familial or romantic, is a road of inevitable painful heartbreak. However, I think she'll bounce back and keep fighting for the true love she deserves, which is what I want to see.

I think people are more likely to accept a box given to them by a cheerful cute mascot character like Tsumuri than a suspicious guy like Giroli or Chirami. It's just good publicity for DGP to have the navigator be somebody approachable, like how Smart Lady was the face of Smart Brain as means to convince Orphenochs about their anti-humanity propaganda.
