Thank god, I’m not the only one who thinks that.
In a direct comparison between Sid and Yoko, I would still pick Sid as the better character, even though he’s just the bad bully with big ambitions.
But Yoko? All I can think is “Fangirl”. In the worst way possible. Everything she does is fanatically following a dude and when she thinks he’s not worth it anymore she follows the next one. She never does anything for herself or her own good. You may think: “She decided to do that so that’s her thing” but that’s crap. She’s even sicker then Mitsuzane if that’s all what she does.
I seriously expected her to rebel against Kaito when he lays out his plans and die fighting him because she realized what she really wanted in life (not being a doormat for someone else) but taking a blow for him only to die without achieving anything… that’s ass.
I’m really torn because her actress looks like a very nice and funny woman on the set-pictures, but I hate the role she plays.
When it comes to Rider-forms Marika is my least-favorite one in the entire show. Maybe because they gave the girl a pink peach-form. Like… really? And the looks aren’t that great either, the helmet looks really weird. What jumps the shark though are the giant boob-bags the armor has. They disappear when the armor attaches but you can clearly see what they wanted to do with this.
I wish we get another female badass Rider sometime, but with better characterization.
Sid I kind of like as the slimy dealer, I think his actor plays this well. I like the Rider-form with the Nordic tone, the crown looks a little weird but overall pretty good. Imagine someone who can actually fight in this and I like it even more.
If they do FiguArts of Marika and Sigurd I would gladly buy the later, maybe Marika too for a complete set of Next-Gen Riders. Maybe they sell them in a two-pack to make my decision easier.
