I mean on one hand, "secondary" was only ever a fan term derived from Rider #2....But at the same time, I feel like things like *waves at Geiz Majesty* cements them as Toei aknowledging that theyre a beloved and important aspect of what Modern Rider is, so you'd expect an anniversary show to respect that, yknow?

I don't think people mean ill will towards Sakura or any other Rider in Revice when talk about Daiji's lack of......everything(??), they just want better things for Daiji. I think it's fine to talk about how Daiji feels underutilized or straight up ignored in the story, regardless of his status as a secondary Rider.
