Not lit but has potential. I like it.

Quote:

Because like Riders' desires, people aren't only limited to one aspect.

Tell that to the panda, the bat and the pig. Moreover, this is still a show, so there should be a sense in such a decision. What is the reason to complicate the character of the guest character of the third plan with a trait that will not play in the future? Irumi then becomes a more complex character than her husband.

Quote:

It was never shown if Kousei returns home (being in home doesn't mean freed). Maybe his disappearence from the last episode can be him returning to the jail after his actions are done.

Maybe. But that doesn't explain why local cover is needed at all.

Quote:

This kinda sounds like Ryuki of Shiro with Shinji, of which Shinji is the constant thorn to his plans. But Shiro will never succeed in preventing Shinji fucking up with his plans.

And how does the fact that they were so screwed up earlier justify a particular show?

Quote:

But well, even if Suel comes from the future, he doesn't have precognitions to know how Ace will end up be. Him going 2000 years ago, would mean that Ace will still be hellbent about reuniting with Mitsume. And no he wouldn't disappear, he'd just reincarnate as long as he hasn't met his mom. His Power of Creation is already something inside him since he was born, it won't be solved by time travelling even if Ace is unaware, but unconsciously making use of it.

Well, I'm sure denying all of Ace's reincarnations participating in the DGP will have a significant impact on his skills.

Quote:

Seems that some crimes are considered as honest, instead of deceive, depending on how it's done. Someone who'd openly declare their disdain towards someone and murder them, like Michinaga, would be considered honest.

Well, if crime is based on an erroneous belief, then it is still caused by deceit. Just then the offender is not a deceiver, but a victim of deception. For example, Michinaga believed he could destroy the DGP by gaining the power to defeat the riders, but it proved to be insufficient. So these are false beliefs.
Plus, even if there are "honest" crimes, they are still a negligible percentage. So obsessing over them is like putting out a fire during a flood.
It's when someone puts a facade to lure someone into their doom, like Daichi does in his cult, that would be considered deceiving. And even it's used as a praise regarding how how someone is better to be open about it, that they "at least admit it", and one can have only the sneaky crimes being considered one.

Quote:

Altruism not always meaning good is present in those that has good intentions but went to great extremes to accomplish it, like Michinaga. There are still many who think those who have good intentions did nothing wrong. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Not always, but in most cases.

Quote:

It's less about waiting for that long and more about Ace in 2022/2023 is the closest he's even been to achieve that goal.

And still, in the end result, there are too many merit of other characters.

Quote:

Becoming celebrity is only a means to the end in his plans, meaning so that if her mother can notice his presence, she may make contact with him.

And if he wanted to become president, he could simultaneously gain fame and initiate her search. I still think the celebrity-idol-god line was the original idea.

Quote:

There are people who are the stoic types that rarely show outward emotions, and it also doesn't mean that they don't have limits to not display emotion when under extreme stress or in other highly emotional situations. It's also one type of personality people can have, and I'd rather people not deem those who don't act like the way they expect (or just, not excite someone enough) as having "no personality".

I didn't say he didn't have a personality, I was just talking about a limited emotional range. Once again, limited, not absent. And, for a true stoic, his indignant cry is just too emotional.
Plus, stoic riders in my opinion are Hibiki and Haruto, but guys like Tendou and Ace are already a level of phlegmatic detachment.

Quote:

And you being unable to spell things correctly such as "Geyser" there still confuses.

Write, don't spell. All claims to Google translator. I'm too lazy to go into the rider wiki and copy the name of this worthless yellow thing.

Quote:

He has said canonically that Ace would be the last in his hunt for Riders when they worked there.

This is true. But I still suspect that he planned to attack earlier. After all, Ace with the Boost Mark II and Keiwa with the Ninja are the only ones who could successfully run away from Jamashin. And Michinaga is capable of deception, otherwise he would never have won.
By the way, it's funny that Buffa and Tycoon both get their wish thanks to deceit, and fox Ace, in all three cases shown, just didn't need deceit.

Quote:

Michinaga declares to be the type who think human sacrifices are "necessary" for the greater good to Beroba, so he does still see good in statistics at that stage regarding Sara's death (which he continues to do the same).

This is also true.

Quote:

It's not suicide smh, making everyone forget isn't suicide, there's un-personing or something called damnatio memoriae.

I'm not talking about Neon's desire, but about her relationship with her parents. Their love manifested / became noticed by the daughter and the audience only when Neon's life was directly threatened by a visible threat to them. That is, if such a threat had appeared earlier, then the reaction would have been earlier. That is, instead of escaping, Neon was worth the pills to swallow and she would immediately be loved.

Quote:

And the parents "still love you" part are still the part of "altruism doesn't always mean good".

Didn't when you talked about the kidnapping of Sarah by the Jamato Knight, didn't you consider caring for relatives to be selfish? I'm completely confused by the terminology.

Quote:

He still has to actually win the DGP to achieve that.

Well, yes, that's why he participates in the DGP.

Quote:

And even if he knows everything, it won't necessarily mean he'd be able to put that into practice, like Philip in W with Gaia Memories, who can be rather impractical in his approaches.

And neither we nor he will ever know. My statement was generally about something else. Namely, that knowledge can both bring happiness in itself, and be the way to it. Initially, with Daichi, we were given the first option. He craved only knowledge, knowledge was his desire. If, in fact, knowledge was only a path to his true desire, that is, happiness, then it was worth hinting at. Again, you claim that Irumi's snobbery was a deepening in character. Daichi has been on screen a lot longer and has a much bigger role. Why miss such an important detail of the character, which is much easier and faster to show than Neon talking to her mother on the phone?

Quote:

Fighting monsters is only a means to the end to gain those wishes, only because the DGP is the one that offers the prize of having a wish magically granted, but they have the condition of "saving the world" from Jamatos to fulfill that. Of course life itself isn't all about fighting and the wishes are like that, but they're fulfilling the conditions the DGP gave. Quality is subjective, but it's possible that there are something that can be good but unnoticed that Win'd hope that his wish can perhaps spread their popularity or such (though dunno about maintaining it). And it's something that never happen ever to randomly have a winner decided as someone who doesn't participate, it's only what you cook on your mind - one also can be a musician who happens to be a good fighter (if they destroy the Jamato Knight), people can be many things.

And you can never pick up a musical instrument, but win the DGP and become the greatest musician in history. Does this sound like my comparison? In any case, Win could have been a hairdresser girl and nothing would have changed on the show.
