Yeah, I'm pretty much just going to assume that Kageyama had a promising career as a neurologist going, until he dedicated his life to getting hospitalized by superheroes and humiliated by his bosses. Making minimum wage at a militarized organization of nebulous authority. Showing off his gigantic bee tattoo.

It is going to be a pretty awkward Christmas in the Kageyama household!

I'm not sure what to respond to? Plenty of other characters in Kamen Rider have been horrible, sure. If you want me to call out negative character traits from, like, Gaim, I don't know if that's going to happen in this thread? Other than as a drive-by?

On series like Blade you were able to point out that Tiger Queen was nice to Mutsuki, but didn't love humans, hence not actually the "good ones". Daisuke, ep. 17 aside, cares greatly about Gon, and to any women, but he's completely apathetic towards anyone else.

If a parent risks their life or their freedom or their happiness to save their child, I think we can agree that that's heroic? It doesn't diminish the sacrifice by making the recipient someone they already cared about.

So, one, Daisuke absolutely would have gone through with his plan to kill Tendou, since he did it twice in one episode. Tendou deflected the Rider Shooting in the beginning, and used Cast Off to fake his death later. Daisuke sincerely thought he'd killed Tendou after that.

Two, it's pretty well established at this point that Gon is the Brains Of The Outfit. It makes sense to me that he'd not be able to think of an alternative to doing ZECT's will, and it's not fair to ask him to be as clever as Tendou. It is not unheroic for Daisuke to lack the mental acumen of the smartest man in the world!
