(Also it doesn't apply to Isaka's potential new Rider, does it, not if all the Board employees were murdered and we have seen them do Nothing ever since; even if Isaka is more humane than most villains, I still don't get the sense that he would be planning on paying his new Rider. ...would that be the best or the worst unpaid internship ever.)

I'm pretty sure Trenchcoat is funnelling any profits from his mad science into a contract for that limo. HE CAN FLY! Why does he need a limo?! Although, no one needs a limo, you want a limo.

Yeah, pretty much every Rider in this series is dead broke. Tachibana was sleeping at Dr Ladyfriend's office for "comfort", but after obliterating BOARD, I'm not sure he had anywhere else to stay. Also, Dr Ladyfriend's office got exploded and she died... and Trenchcoat ain't gonna let him sleep in that goo bath anymore, so he's totally homeless. Kenzaki got kicked out of his apartment for not paying rent while he was at Rider Training Camp, so I'm not sure if it's low-pay or just Kenzaki Forgetfulness. Chalice's whole story now is that he has nowhere to go.

I'd joke about them all selling out as Riders For Hire, but that's just Birth, isn't it?

Or that he's protecting poor innocent civilians from the ass-kicking he will have to do to them if they put on a suit of armor? (I'm pretty sure it does not ) But I do want you to know that when I read this paragraph I laughed loud enough that the dog gave me a Very Concerned Look and ran across the room to leap right onto my chest. (She's a v small dog. It was only slightly painful )
