And since we're talking about Revice, I think it's worth giving him his due and appreciating the first episode, which, without speaking literally, managed to show very precisely why Ikki should become Kamen Rider.
When the Deadmen attack Phoenix during the presentation of the belt, Hiromi is the first to grab it. He is fearless, but he does not have enough strength and therefore he fails. The belt goes to Daiji, who is able to use it, but he is too scared to do so. In the background, Sakura fights the Giffs Jr., ignoring the device. She doesn't need a belt to protect people, she's strong without it. And only Ikki has all the necessary qualities and reason to use it.
Of course, the fact that later all three also became riders pretty much spoils the pledged message. Still, the first episode of Revice is to be commended for being such an empathetic, smart, and imaginative demonstration of what it means to be a Kamen Rider.
