With a great hero usually comes with a great sidekick... or something, I dunno.

Anyways, who's your favorite Secondary Rider and why? I'm curious to see what you guys have to say. If it's close feel free to give a Top 3 or Top 5. I know it's hard to pick just one.

For the record, I do mean Secondary Riders and not Tertiary Riders or movie-exclusive Riders or what have you. So no Ryugen, no Nadeshiko, no Mage, ect.

As for me? I'd have to go with Beast. I know the general consensus for Wizard ranged somewhere between meh and bleh but I really enjoyed it, especially the second half. A big reason for that was Kosuke. He's just so fun as a character and so likable while still having an emotional arc with Yuzuru, a typical person to help of the week character, that I got invested in. I probably like him so much because he kinda reminds me of a more mellowed out and mayonnaise obsessed Momotaros.

Before Beast I really liked Birth after Date gave it up and Gotou inherited the Birth powers. I just really liked Gotou's whole arc to becoming Birth and how he had to work hard at getting it in the background while Eiji and Date were advancing the main plot. A simple arc, but one I could get behind.

Number 3 would probably go to... I guess Baron. Though like Beast he was best suited for the second half of the season. Mostly because his character really sticks out in the first half of Gaim. But once the invasion of Zawame and Kouta getting Kiwami Arms happened that's when I really took a liking to his character. Not to mention around Ep 40-ish we end up getting Lord Baron, which kicks all kind of ass in both a visual way and from a story perspective
