Kikaider is actually the reason why I don't want a Robot as a main character in a Rider show, that's Kikaider's schtick. Kamen Rider's was Cyborgs, and I want to see more of those. Getting your body violated into something you never asked for and using it for a greater good is a much better setting than the wooden doll who wants to be a real human boy. It also works well with biologic transformations, that's why I think Gills is really cool, but I like Cyborgs better. Rider 3 with his awesome design (Shackles!) could actually work very well in his own light IMO. Maybe he does even for a movie villain, haven't seen Taisen Grand Prix yet.

Also, if we talk about what Drive should've been like, well:




Kiriko with her background of not knowing about her father and having the secondary Rider being her brother (even if it is Gou) who knows about this could've delivered some excellent tension. And honestly that's what it is at the moment, only that Shinnosuke is in between of it trying to find out about his dad. Which is the best plot the show had yet, but still a big cliche.

The way I see it, taking Shinnosuke with his very little character development and switch places with Kiriko who has a much better place in this setting could've worked wonders. But poor girl got a vagina, so she can only be a PreCure or die as a movie Rider Hurr durr.
