Late reply, but I want to remind that even saving the world doesn't mean they don't have personal motivations or necessarily want to help others. They just have the power (or probably genius level intellect) that allows them to do so. And it applies too for the ones who help people after becoming Rider, it doesn't mean that they "magically" get the urge to help people, it's just that they already want to help people from the very beginning (disagree with the notion that helping others can only be done as Riders or fighting), but becoming a Rider lets them contribute to far greater things than what a normal human can do in their daily job due to the Rider's power.

In short, power (or toku intellect) lets you contribute far greater, but moral doesn't necessarily measure corresponding to those 2.

I want to involve myself in more discussions, and also watching Revice doesn't mean I'd always watch the other ongoing shows.

Revice story is interesting but I personally didn't really care about Legend Rider Form concepts (Mammoth is Den-O, Eagle is Double, etc) in Revice series.

I think Legend Rider Form concepts in Revice series is didn't really special to me because the Zi-O's Legend Riders Armours are still fairly new and I still prefer Zi-O's Legend Riders Armours.

I personally prefer if Revice's Forms are using fully extinct creature motifs without using Legendary Rider motifs.....

Well, I already plan to do this "season" from start to finish, I'm invested.

Yeah, like I already said too; like Momo, Vice is loud, loves to fight and show off his strength as well, and a representation of Ikki's inner demon (like how the Taros take up Ryotaro's traits into flaws). Both Vice and Momo, albeit comical, are obviously morally questionable as well; Vice fights for selfish reason, only for self-preservance, protecting Revi so he wouldn't die with Revi dying, as well as attempting to eat humans if he's let off of his leash (with him employing tasteless joke by claiming his attempt to eat Yukimi as this, a reminder that jokes can really be misused for that).

I think Legend Rider Form is only aesthetic, doubt if they appropriately represent the 'correct' animal of the past Riders, but I'd like it too if they stick exclusively into extinct animals, or probably exclusively demons and many of their kind.
