Even when it comes to fighting Kagero, who is Daiji's' Devil...

So yeah, if you ask me, Vice's' character is pretty consistent while still having some rather natural development.

I mean, I love duality and split personalities and all that as narrative/character devices, but I wouldn't say the lack of them is inherently any lesser in any way. It's all in the execution, afterall. Revice having duality at the forefront is a plus. That it managed to explore it in a way I found entertaining is just moreso. Had I felt they done it bad, I'd be alot more upset(see: Kamen Rider Build).

Absolutely. Holy Live's' design is so good in so many ways because of stuff like this.

Fair point!

Yeah, as much as I love George, it definitely would've been better had his progression from chaotic neutral to neutral good were more naturally done, rather than suddenly with a explanation as to why later on. I will say though that, of the two options we got, I do much prefer the Devil explanation rather than the Just Following Orders one.

I wasn't aware devils are unable to lie in Revice, that's reason enough to take your word on it for me.

As others have said, there are bigger things for Ace to worry about, not to mention that if he were to repeatedly flirt with women throughout the show, it'd be with Neon, the one woman who he regularly interacts with. Ace having bigger things to deal with than try to flirt with a woman who shot him down is hardly anything that requires more than half a minute of thinking about
