I don't want to sound too harsh, but Daiji and Kagerou really remind me of Makoto from Ghost in how mishandled a secondary Rider they are.
On the other hand, Holy Live is very cool looking and the fights were great. I feel like I sound like a broken record, but Sakura and Aquilera's untransformed brawl and discussion was absolutely the highlight of the episode for me, and it worked because both of them have had lots of screen time to let the viewers get to know them and their dynamic! I'm telling you all, Sakura is the real secondary Rider in my book, she really steals the show!

pretty much how I feel the Daiji vs Kagerou arc could have(And quite frankly should have) lasted until near the end of the show or at least until the endgame(like Ren vs Desast) but no let's just cut it short so we can meet our toy release schedule
