Though I have some conflict here that, if it's actually fair for Keiwa to prevent dangerous wishes like Michinaga's (lesser version of Kanato's) or someone he knows is untrustworthy in Ace to see the light.

Shinji's final development was slightly different though, where even though he decided to fight for his own wish, he was willing to take personal responsibility for the consequences and still acknowledged that Ren was also determined to win the Rider War. I feel like Keiwa's development is more like Shinji's earlier behavior of preaching to stop the fighting, before he learned that the Riders all have their own personal reasons for fighting and he started to accept the nature of the Rider War, while continuing to resist it alone.

As, what someone do between fights is important too, like something can have same outcome but different individuals, like someone who fights off monsters to protect, or someone who takes out their vengeance at monsters who happened to threaten civilians. Though, some people were speculating that Keiwa will turn heel in similar way Daiji w/o Kagerou did in Revice... even at the series announcement.

The difference between pointing out that someone committed bad deeds, compared to repeatedly telling someone they need to stop committing bad deeds and be more like them instead. Like maybe suggest it a few times in a diplomatic way, but if they keep doing those things anyway, then it becomes preaching. I was one of the people who speculated about Keiwa's turn, so I'm curious to see if this is the point where he focuses his energy on a more attainable desire, or continues to zealously push his ideal of world peace like he did in the lounge.

Precisely because the game clearly loves Keiwa, I think that DGP needs altruists. For the Ninja and the connection with him is clear, but Boost falls into his hands from the qualifying round.

While it's possible for approximately 30 Riders to unanimously agree on a shared desire, it would be an extremely improbable scenario. For taking turns to grant desires, then there's the problem with desires that would cancel out others, like Kanato's for human extinction, which means some people have no choice but to only rely on themselves.

If this was the aforementioned extremely improbable scenario, it would be the most entertaining DGP to watch. Every Rider, Jyamato and sentient Raise Buckle fighting to protect Sara.
