Somebody did, but I don't remember who. It's still a neat idea, though!

It's always been a favorite of mine, and the whole "I became a Rider to protect people! And that means I can protect Riders too!!!" bit is like, the definitive Shinji quote. For what it's worth, here's my take on the episode.

So, the thing that bothered me on that, is that it's another variation on what Shinji's trying to achieve, and we just got an entire arc on that. It felt like the series was instituting a new structure, where every episode Shinji would need to state his motivation while changing exactly one element. First it was fighting monsters and saving people, then it was stopping Rider Battles, then it was fighting monsters and saving people again, now it's fighting monsters and saving people including Riders. Shinji's a pretty questing character, in that he's constantly learning better ways to be true to himself, but I feel like it's getting a little ridiculous. Like, maybe stick to one stated motivation for an arc, explore that, then revise it.
