Anyway, it'd be still showing that revenge is a wrongful trait, even if indirectly. And that personal revenge is also different to stopping threats from causing further harm even if the outcome might be similar.

That's not necessarily a bad thing though, since it shows that Yukimi is already a very emotionally mature and sensible person, to only need that one episode of development. Someone needs to hold that crazy family together. I think this is what makes it such a sweet love story, about a kind girl like Yukimi trying to tame a vengeful devil human like Genta to become the family-loving man we know in the present.

I was putting a reminder about how despite that Yukimi is a kind girl, Genta at this point would contribute far more to others, despite that he's a vengeful devil human, because Genta is still a strong Rider that can fight off devils, while Yukimi would be more limited in what she can do. And regarding how taming a vengeful devil human would be kinda like many primary and secondary Rider dynamics. As older self Yukimi is the only one approving of Genta's 'pathetic' traits though, compared to how the 'sensible' childs Daiji and Sakura think about him... So you do have a point about her needing short time to develop, though outside of 25 year interval (so it'd be at 1997? damn modernism in this show setting...) I'd still want to see the maturity and sensibility on the young one, not only old ones because the stigma of the old being viewed as always wiser and more right.

Was bringing him up regarding the Giftarian murders, both Olteca and NOAH/Agariyama had killed humans and turned them into devils. Unlike Deadman contracts that didn't do the same.
