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.

Well, yeah, Genta as Kamen Rider Vail is an antihero, cleaning up NOAH's dangerous failed experiments (NOAH are so stupid if they let them escape 70 times without thinking about how to stop that) for the sake of his revenge. So he's able to do more short-term good than Yukimi, but for the wrong reasons. Yukimi still has a strong impact though, since she gives Genta the means to move on from his trauma and live happily and that impact continues in to the future, raising her children to become better people and holding the Igarashi family together as the voice of reason.

Daiji and Sakura looking down on Genta's goofy behavior seems like a typical snobbish reaction from teens/young adults who feel embarrassed by their "lame" parents, especially considering how Sakura is an edgy "invincible girl" who looks down on any weakness in general. I think it's okay that Yukimi finds Genta's behavior endearing. While wisdom can come with age, it does depend on how that experience is used. Older people can also become too stubborn and reject any new ideas due to believing their advanced age makes them always right. I don't think that's the case with Yukimi though, she's great. Daiji seems to have inherited some of that wisdom as well, being the least dysfunctional and most motivated of his siblings.
