Well, maybe she can unload her rage on the Kamen Riders that can withstand it. It?s not an ending where Suzu needs to be defeated; it?s an ending where Suzu needs to be rescued from her trauma. The only way to do that is to let it come to the surface, and then let it burn itself out in a safe place. (The lodge's adjacent Natural Hot Quarry, now taking reservations.) Ikki will always want to help someone in trouble more than he?ll want to fight a monster, and this ending recognizes that. It?s the perfect ending for a Revice story.

While Ikki's sympathy towards monsters isn't always consistent, his moments of sympathy are the best part of his busybody behavior. He knows better than to jump to the prejudicial conclusion of "monster = bad", cause his buddy is also a monster. Suzu committed a terrible crime and deserves to be punished, but she also deserves the chance for rehabilitation and Ikki encourages her to continue Shogo's work after she pays her sentence. I agree, it's a satisfying ending for a Revice story (as most of them aren't IMO), but I'd also say it's a satisfying Double and Drive ending, as those shows also had sympathetic criminals who ended up turning their life around, like Nishihori Reiko.
