While it's tragic what Irumi had to go through, I still don't like her.

What's even more intimidating about this is that while angered, Geats still maintains his composure on the outside. Is there any state more dangerous to the opponent than a berserk character who is also completely in control of his mind and body? Ace sure is wired differently!

Like the other future guys, it seems that Kyuun also doesn't know how to express his emotions and just keeps saying the wrong things without thinking. Makes sense that his Rider form is a sphinx.

Like Sougo endlessly talking about being king. But then again, you're someone who's "guilty" of that too about toku as you admitted...

It's tough having a niche hobby like Tokusatsu, as people are more willing to talk about popular and familiar interests IRL. Not sure whether Neon being a streamer would be a name that carries as much weight as Ace's, but I can totally relate to Sara wanting to share her love of Neon with the closest person in her life. Not saying that Keiwa necessarily has to agree, but he should at least be supportive of his big sister's hobby, instead of trivializing it the way he does.

Though I'm annoyed too against those who still only interpret this as solely romantic where "she can just download Tinder", even when, it extending to other kind of love like familial is no longer headcanon as shown in ep. 21 and ep. 25.

For sure, DGP is only one method of granting relatively simple desires like true love, but if Neon's prepared to gamble that desire and her life to obtain it, then I think that's her right. I imagine Win probably would've written a desire to become a famous rockstar if he had survived.

And yeah, true love can be any kind of love, all of which Neon is lacking in her life. She has a father who supports her desire, a mother who doesn't want to lose her, fans who love to watch her streams, but none of them love her as a person, except maybe Ace, Sara and Kyuun and yet out of those three, only Sara is actually honest about it.
