He'd probably need a more robust supporting cast than a typical Rider, but I think there's still potential there. Maybe some kindly brother and sister could take him in, help understand the value of protecting humanity? Maybe Rento was the name of the brother's dog? I don't know, I'm just spit-balling here.

Tsukuyomi is affected by that conflict, but she's mostly an observer, so she doesn't have the important personal perspective that Geiz has. All she had was a fragile faith, which she has now given up on.

I don't know that I see here as a particularly practical person? She's always felt like a more naturally empathetic person, as compared to Geiz'z brutal pragmatism. Like, that was always the Time Orphan dynamic: she was the Time Mom, he was the Grim Executioner. She was the one who wanted to help shepherd Sougo towards a more just and caring application of power, while Geiz was the one screaming at Sougo to destroy his Driver before it was too late.

Like, in the last episode she was telling Sougo that they weren't afraid of him becoming Oma Zi-O, even as he was accruing the very power that defined Oma Zi-O's rule. (She never seemed particularly nervous about Sougo obtaining the powers of past Riders?) I don't think Tsukuyomi's story has ever been about viewing Sougo as some Time Mission or whatever.

I've picked up bits and pieces, but it's not a show I've really sat down with.
