Kamen Rider Revice Legacy: Kamen Rider Vail

Part 5

Other than how the Igarashis form a family, turns out this also revealed something more.

So how Vail was defeated and came into contact with Demons Driver was answered here, Masumi used the Driver both to seal Vail while also saving Genta to atone for himself. That also revealed how Masumi decided to wear a mask all the time, as he set himself on fire while doing so. Honestly, shows even if someone had committed unforgivable sins and genuinely felt remorse, better try to atone it even if it's not enough, rather than letting yourself die like what Masumi did at the beginning. Who'd seal Vail at that time?

After Genta chooses to live a fulfilling live (if he survived), Vail seems to be running out of ideas on what to do, likely the first time, he just tried to persuade Genta to rule the world together with him... as if Genta ever had a wish to rule the world lmao. That's Vail's weakest manipulation yet in the series so far, but it seems that Vail also has similar views on demons against humans, to think they'd be instantly tempted by stock villainous goals.

Agariyama met his end here as expected, but it was more brief than I thought, Agariyama just carries himself a gun to confront Vail, which predictably, had Vail just impaling him with his arm. I thought as someone in military who had several scientists (more shown here than Masumi) under his control, he'd have some trump card to deal with Vail, either supernatural devices like ViStamp or even military vehicles like tank, but no. That'd still mean Agariyama isn't a coward type to face Vail like that however, not that him being brave would reduce his wrongdoings.

So Genta's face was really altered, and while the reason is typical fugitive one, it makes more sense now to alter his face, so that he's harder to be tracked by NOAH, Yukimi wasn't the only one to 'change' his identity by naming him Genta. And at that time, I guess even someone as noble as Yukimi (had a bit irrational side at first, but it shines more in real tragedy), when she gets a shot at happiness after the tragedy ended (temporarily), took the opportunity to make a decision solely for herself too. The selfish decision, to put it bluntly, though it's a harmless and a deserved one, by stringing Genta along as her husband, done likely before their official marriage in credits, which'd mean technically still a lie albeit Genta would happily oblige.
