Definitely. I actually think Hazard Form is sort of a bad comparison for this very reason. Serenity is the throughline for Shouichi and Agito. Whether he's transformed or not, he's kind of "at one" with the world around him in a way Hikawa and Ryou aren't. Hikawa's uncertainty is reflected in his often rather poor showings as G3, and obviously Ryou channels a lot of anger into his fighting style. For Agito, it's less that he's actively displaying dominance, and more how that's a natural result of the grace and purpose inherent in how he moves.

Again, very organic. Very well thought out.

Also, probably as good a time as any to mention that Agito was the start of Seiji Takaiwa's enduring tenure as the suit actor for Rider leads, and even in 2001, it was obvious how talented he was. His more active roles are great, too, but he's also fantastic at putting weight into subtle movements in a way I don't think many other people could.
