The Power Stones are, fittingly, a source of elemental power, which would definitely help expedite Rasputin's natural resource extraction plan if he collected them all. This gives VUDO a pragmatic reason to terrorize humanity, since drawing out Bima means they can try and take Power Stone Merah from him. Topeng Besi is eager about the "fighting Bima" part though and will gladly leverage Ray's loved ones to make it personal between them.

I do like that both shows go about it at different angles, and don't me wrong, I've been liking
Revice
just fine so far, but
BIMA
's' take interests me alot more immediately. Basically, rather than pressuring Ray into being a savior of the world just because he can transform like how Mama Igarashi did to Ikki, he instead poses a rather important question to Ray: If it's not Bima's' responsibility to protect the world, then whose is it?
Haha, yeah, this is a humorous comparison and I can see the superficial similarities. While Revice easily wins in action scenes and special effects, I think Bima depicts a more wholesome healthy functional family, especially with the constructive depiction of adoption that DreadBringer mentioned. Ray's backstory of having two sets of missing/dead parents also gives more potential for drama than Ikki's neglected soccer aspirations. The Mikhail and Yukimi comparison seems more circumstantial though, as the former is speaking as a mentor and logical perspective, while the latter is speaking as a mother and emotional perspective, so it makes sense that their moral guidance would be delivered differently.
I wonder how Revice Garuda Genome would've looked like.
