He's calm, patient, and dedicated to the peace... but then you run into "Star Trek TNG problem" - if your characters aren't having conflict with each other, you need something more to hook into the show's world. And the Megido... They're really not it at this point in the show. They're the bare minimum "Make a monster and have it attack people" with no real sign of a grander plan, or even a short-scale plan, or even individual personalities! I think it doesn't help that they're restricted to their CGI-looking room, thank you Covid restrictions.
It's a fun twist on the expected formula - Rintaro's debut scene is him playing into the audience's expectations by declaring that he's
not
suspicious, and then immediately subverting them by being a normal dude - but it's got nowhere to go, dramatically. I enjoyed the gag of it this time, but it's pretty clear you're immediately going to need a bigger cast (hello, Espada?) if your secondary is a helpful guy who dislikes conflict with his coworkers.

I really liked Gatriker, for whatever that's worth. I like that the calm, helpful Blades has this giant trike with multiple gatling guns. Hilarious!

I've no issue with the general concept, though -- especially as a later suit makes the idea work MUCH better
It's a little cumbersome, but I don't mind it a whole lot. He's a blue sword lion guy!
No notes!
