Perhaps Vice is "granting" Ikki's wish by "saving" his siblings so he can take over, since we're all bracing ourselves for this.

You might be on to something there. I think it's possible that Ikki was never in those photos at all and what we see from Vice's perspective is just how Ikki attributes his siblings' successes to his help and how that's fading away the more he realizes they don't need his help and can stand on their own. We also see how Vice becomes more mature and helpful, like maybe he's starting to supplant Ikki as a result.

I see Demons more as a potential Kamen Rider Woz. If Hiromi gets killed, he'll be the White Woz and "someone else" as the Black Woz will replace him. Maybe George needs to sacrifice a willing test pilot to the Demons Driver for experimental reasons and decided Hiromi's heroic self-sacrificing nature made him the perfect expendable person.
