So nice of this anniversary series to create a tribute to Mihara from Faiz. Complete non-entity of a side character that's suddenly made a Rider. Though I will say that considering the lack of fanfare regarding him, I'm wondering, based purely on gut feelings, if Overdemons is either going to be a thing passed around between side-characters, or it's going to be this show's Riotrooper/Rideplayer.

Really weird that they did all those scenes last episode of Vice having this doubt about his and Ikki's relationship, only to here say it was never worth worrying about to begin with... I mean, yes, I agree that Vice had nothing to worry about, but I kinda figure they were possibly building up to something more dramatic with it?? Maybe this isn't the end of that thread but still... If Vice was going to make a heroic comeback, I would have liked a punchier scene, with him like giving some speech while punching Vail in the face or something!

With the show piling all the despair on Daiji in particular, I am genuinely curious whether this is going to lead to a stint with him being the villain for a while. And I further wonder if that's going to somehow lead to Kagerou coming back to pull him out of said hypothetical stint, but that's maybe just me missing Evil...
