I think it has to do with how the Sword of Darkness and the visions it causes affect its wielders. That is, all the Caliburs we know before Sophia went over to the dark side. So it's no surprise that she tries to use the sword as little as possible. Here we can speculate and say that Jao Dragon is available only to villains and that is why we will not get it from good Sophia.




As for me, expectations were initially too high for her (which, however, the plot contributed to). In a sense, Vulcan was also leaked, depriving him of motivation. Another thing is that resentment for the Valkyrie united with hostility towards the character, whose puppet they made her. Personally, I would remove Gai from the plot altogether, making Yaiba the head of ZAIA sponsoring A.I.M.S. for the sake of her goals..
I don't think female Riders are any worse than males. There are simply fewer of them, and none were even the secondary Rider of the season. Still, the progress in Reiwa is huge. As I already wrote, it is enough to remember that there were also female Riders in the Ghost.

I feel bad for the female riders of 01 & Saber. If there was an all-female rider movie/web series, it could help develop them more like Jeanne & Aguilera.

Anyway, wonder about the gimmicks for Geats? I'm worried about it, if it'll connect to something gothic & with vikings. Amulets? Pendants? Anything that's Nordic & cultic? Gotta get something out of the Vikings show.
