The Geats cast get most of the action highlights, but for me, it still feels like a Revice movie featuring Geats and Ryuki.

Especially when your cursed bloodline makes you a target for devils! Yukimi claims this is just the Igarashis' problem to deal with, but the baby getting abducted and used as a power source for evil is a problem for humanity. So Kinoshita introduced a baby out of nowhere since he needed a plot device to instigate the conflict. GoGo V/Lightspeed Rescue did it better.

Makes Ace look stupid as well, which is definitely the opposite of what they want us to think. It totally undermines Revice's whole importance of family thing, having Ikki and especially Vice be so weirdly nonchalant about whether Vice lives or dies. Would Ikki be like that for his siblings or parents?

Okay, Punkjack. He was alot more entertaining when he was silent and just punching people. That was like the only thing in Geats so far that got a laugh out of me.

I also called bull when it was revealed that Ace didn't actually shoot him, given that up to that point Ace had no issues in directly screwing over other Riders even if it wasn't the Buffa method of literally attacking them.

Punkjack hitting Morio was an ad-lib by suit actor Tsutamune, which I think makes that even more humorous for Morio's actor showing genuine light pain.

I think Geats not shooting Punkjack is fair, since it was clear at that point that the game was rigged by Giroli and we can't exactly count Punkjack as a player when he's brainwashed. Ace may play dirty, but it's never shown that he would use unprovoked force against non-players/unwilling participants.

She has a bigger role in the second half, so hopefully you'll feel stronger about her then. Inoffensive is already the most praise you've given to a character in this show, so that's something at least.
