Very curious to see the explanation of that hot take. Like Sakura and Hana were practically the main characters of the show for a while, and Mrs Igarashi was the first time a mom and the topic of motherhood played a major role all throughout the season since like Kuuga. Sure Geats has plenty of female Riders, but literally never more than two at a time. Sae aside, I think they've all been written pretty poorly. Letter/Retta's wish being to lose weight and marry a cute guy Lopo getting written off after five episodes and never coming back while annoying one-note character Nadge-Sparrow comes back as a main cast member just a couple episodes after being eliminated just to stand in the background and sneer occasionally. Neon not even getting to deliver her own Reason To Fight Speach after her dramatic backstory reveal, it instead being given by her Stalker with a crush who justifies mocking and insulting her with having been anxious. And Tsumuri being a combination of Poppy and Izu, although that's more of a personal opinion on Takahashi's writing feeling repetitive
