He doesn't have the perspective of being a mentor either, so he doesn't understand how difficult that can be and maybe expects Kiriya to be more like Zanki. People may begrudge Kiriya's return, but that's why I think it's such a good decision. A chance to re-evaluate a resented character and learn that even an a**hole like him can change and become a better person. That's what Hibiki's all about, right? To learn. That goes for us viewers as well. Kiriya's means are misguided here, but it's clear that he definitely cares about his disciple Tsutomu and wishes for his success, which is a side of him we haven't really seen before. Hibiki has rubbed off on him and that's a victory for the show.
I can sort of see Todoroki's side of things, though. For one, him and Kiriya never seemed to overlap much, storyline-wise, so I can't imagine Todoroki has a lot of patience for Kiriya's... for
Kiriya
. Kiriya's just some shitty coworker who is leaving the hard work for others, and that's on top of taking a title he didn't earn. Are there mitigating circumstances? Yeah, maybe! But it's not like Kiriya is Todoroki's project or anything.
(That's a note about the Oni that I'm glad this episode tossed in: this is a
job
for these guys. All the Oni in Japan aren't good friends or found family or whatever Phase 2 is all about. These guys are hardworking defenders of Japan, but it's
work
. I love that note!)

Yeah, no, I'm just giving Agito's show a hard time here. I did not like the stories about Shouichi's past! Or spending time puzzling out what happened on the Akatsuki-go!

I also don't think anyone's left to look for Kamen Rider Agito, villain-wise? The Spooky Man stuff was pretty well wrapped up, as far as open combat with monsters is concerned. Probably fine to call his restaurant that?
