Maybe the whole reason the "too many Riders" thing is such a problem for me, is because Gaim is trying to tell a multi Rider story as if it only had one.

It's not Kouta's story at all. It's all about Mai. How? Let's review:

Baron - Learning how strength of character can be it's own reward. From Mai. Plus she's become his little confidant.

Kouta - He quit dancing to get a job at the beginning of the series. Why? Pretty sure it was to make a living for him and Mai in some purpose.

Micchy - Total psycho for Mai.

Everyone in the series has gathered around her, or for her. And the dance team's name is Gaim which SHE obviously came up with. It's not about too many riders. It's too much Mai. When she's not getting her princess dress up on, she's too busy dancing in the wide open while there's planty monsters roaming about stealing everyone else to hook them up to the sucky sucky machine.
