Though, Eiji has got development though, that previously, he doesn't have a desire, but at the end, he got a desire that he wants power to protect others?

Then we should look at this as a balanced moral, that being obsessed with one desire at the expense of your happiness and being detached from desire at the expense of your happiness are both problematic ways to live and Eiji has lived them both. Ankh has friends who care about him, a home to return to and all kinds of things he never believed he could have had and he deserves the chance to enjoy the new life he's been granted.

Like Die's example, "a better theme song, better fights, more compelling Monster Mysteries", which I think could apply to Drive.

This is normally the place where I?d talk about what show was coming up next, and when I?d be back with it, but I?m feeling like this is a good place to put this project to bed. Without getting into boring details, this hasn?t been that fun for a little while, and I?d rather just let it be done. As I said up above, I?m nothing but grateful to TokuNation for giving me a place for the last 5+ years to be weird about Kamen Rider (and a Super Sentai!), and I appreciate everyone over that time who dipped in to share their own thoughts on these shows.

Saraba, Kamen Rider Die. Thanks for your passionate contributions to the community! Even though you may not post regularly anymore, you have inspired other users to make their own review threads, which will hopefully continue in your place (looks at Fish's sig)! I've been tempted to make one as well, but I realize that fanfiction won't write itself. Anyway, I look forward to your revival as Kamen Rider Chou Die!
