Absolutely agree.

Geats is just a story-driven show and the characters in it are servants of the story, not its creators. This is especially noticeable in Keiwa, but others are not without it. So in a brief retelling with Geats, everything is gorgeous, but when you look, you just want to shout: "People, I don't believe you!" Overall, I think if Revice's soulfulness and deep characters were combined with Geats' thoughtful plot and original innovation, it would be a great show. Although a very average crossover denies this idea.

And that's not even getting into Takashai's usual treatment of female characters after Revice was the first Rider season after 50 years to actually have more than just a single major female Rider

At this point, Geats fans will object that it has more female riders. Although Retta is very difficult to consider as such, Beroba is just a CGI kaijin (or even kaiju) with a belt.
