I would say at least Ikki regaining his memories didn't come out of nowhere, as it already had a setup even if it was a few episodes ago, with the reason of Ikki considering a Vice a family that their contract was ongoing. But like before, Ikki's smart and resourceful, and it's consistent here, thus Lovekov revealing herself would had Ikki realizing that Vice's trying to sacrifice herself to get his memories back, though it seems that, like other "cruel" to be kind (well in this case, only the emotional damage to Ikki before), it doesn't need to be done, if it's about Ikki fighting as Revice only, not killing Vice. Though Ikki agreed to choose everyone else over Vice here, albeit obviously saddened by Vice's departure, but the final fight is canceled and turned into them playfully fighting instead, which shows how far they've come that now they can't ever be hostile to each other anymore, and there's some goodness in the varied old powers being used, which makes sense because they aren't looking to quickly kill each other.

The next part of the episodes are simply the cast's activities after all the series, and other than Ikki losing Vice (which is mitigated by him forgetting Vice), this bittersweet ending leans heavily on happy. Ikki returns into playing soccer and being encouraged by his idol Miura to go pro, and he's apparently better than before. Probably due to his fighting as Kamen Rider, but Ikki returning there seems to show that Ikki wants to pursue his dreams instead of which probably made him resentful. Daiji now can shine as the founder of Blue Bird, and getting what he wanted to steer Fenix to the right path. Sakura's now being a normal schoolgirl studying for medical school, dunno what made her interested in that, though it's not exactly nowhere. And Yukimi followed Genta's footsteps, which tbf, she has never ridiculed Genta for his streaming before. So Tamaki and Aguilera canceled their plan to turn themselves in? Though yeah working on Blue Bird is more useful than being imprisoned. Which Orteca still is due to him being left normal human, of which his actions led into only George that wanted to visit him, and also, he got quite appropriate punishment of 666 years, far beyond average human's lifespan, and it's something realistic for crimes that are really severe.

For the series itself, as I and many others have said, Revice started out smooth, if rather quick, but fell apart midway. It was a series that is refreshing to give the main characters full-fledged family (and eventually, being Rider families except Yukimi), and started out in an MOTW format that involved troubled people being used by Deadmans to manifest their inner demons as the monsters to fight, and it transitioned smoothly into the main plot of how being exposed into Riders and demons potentially ruin the Igarashi's harmony, inside or out, but would fulfill the goals of the villains and potentially George. Later the main villain faction breaks apart in quite punching twist. After that though, there's some rough path like the handling of the former generals, sans Orteca (which was the highlight), but it didn't impact the series as a whole, and seemingly getting back to track at ep. 25 for Vail plot twist, making use of Hiromi as a convincing buildup.

But after that, there are too much ideas that the series end up often leaving in half-assed way, like the Ushijimas being a fake family, George focusing on new daddy issues with Masumi, the establishment of Weekend, the three siblings going on different path, other demon conflicts of the Igarashis, building up Giff as an active participant, Giff's underlings fulfilling his goal, even the background of the former generals, and of course Ikki's amnesia. The story quite shuffles focus into what's needed, and some got less focus between these jugglings like the Ushijimas, or even Ikki and Vice with their amnesia used as only the series closure. There's also inconsistency like how Kagerou was killed despite the implication of the previous buildup. The highs of the series at this point was reached only by the side medias like Vail Legacy, and in the series proper, it was ep. 42 due to being similar to said miniseries, with it making use of Hiromi's return and giving a good theme about forgiving yourself with a fight that is related to solve the problem. It'd be better if Revice isn't distracting itself as much from its family focus, like the screentime of Giff's underlings, which is the main theme of Revice and what made it different.
