I feel that Aguilera purposely acted demure, for some reason against Kagerou.. despite her manhandling Sakura and her showing bossy attitude to others that time, but don't think she has been upstaged yet. And this kinda reminds me of, for example, the tokusatsu originated from my country Bima (not the X one), where Topeng Besi, the supposed 2nd in command, was upstaged quickly, exploding from a slash of Helios (bow mode)... Rasputin did refer to him as failure too at one point.

It seems likely for Olteca and Julio to get upgrades, if they're going to keep up with Revice. Needing to gather 6 Giftex for Gif's revival reminds me of the Promised Number for the second Global Freeze. Regarding how Aguilera acted demure around Kagerou, yeah, she must be plotting something against him. She called the Lion Deadman weak since it was spawned by the good but misguided Bon-san, who received the Vistamp from Kagerou. So their methods clashed from that start. But if Aguilera can use him for her goal, she might be willing to endure the humiliation for now.

Interesting that you bring up Bima, since now that you mention it, I can see the similarity in the dynamics between the Igarashi and Bramasakti-Iskandar families, like with Daiji being the younger brother Dark (albeit as Kagerou) Secondary hero to the big brother protagonist Ikki, same with Reza and Ray. Topeng Besi got the last laugh though, being the one to deal the finishing blow to Rasputin. So I think the Deadman trio are playing the long game and will prove their credibility as a threat later, since their goal of Gif's revival and creating a world of devils is more ambitious than Kagerou's goal of killing Ikki.
