My headcanon is that Vice's complaints about Jackal Genome is a meta joke about the initial bad reception of EX-Aid's aesthetics in the west.

George seems to have a strong sense of pride about his creations, considering how personally he took Vice's criticism. As expected from a literal Kamen Rider fan though, of course he would be offended by that. When you put so much effort and love in to your creation and then have to listen to someone else bluntly tear it down without even offering any advice for improvement, that definitely hurts.

So the Driver we thought was going to belong to the Secondary Rider turns out to belong to the Tertiary Rider instead and I was also wrong about George becoming a Rider before Hiromi. However, I was still right about it being connected to the Spider Vistamp. I actually prefer the design of Demons to Evil and it's cool how that little spider on his right shoulder creates the suit with its webs and how he has 8 eyes instead of 2.

Hiromi realizes the effect his failed heroic stunt from the first episode had on Daiji and decides to take responsibility by vowing on his life to bring Daiji back to the side of good. He's such an archetypal Kamen Rider with his totally epic speeches that I'm not surprised to hear how the staff aborted their plan to kill him off. It continues from the recent moral that good intentions don't always have good outcomes and shows how his demotion might actually be justified. But Hiromi is the kind of person who doesn't let his failure get him down and keeps going to prove to others and to himself that he can become better.

Congrats, Hiromi!

Demons can only be armed in his limbs as per his "Genome Module" ability.

Exactly! I like Hiromi as much as the next guy, but there cannot be any doubt about who is Revice's Secondary Rider and their names are Igarashi Daiji and Kagerou!

Not at all! Eagle Genome is squishy and weak, but handles better in midair. Ptera Genome is difficult to handle and lacking in vertical movement, but very fast and strong between them which makes it a potentially OP form when used skillfully.

You heard right.
