Ha ha, she's not at her most likable in the second half of this movie, no! But she lives in a world of insanity, so I think her instinct is to hop on a hijacked bus and threaten her husband with divorce until he tells her what in the hell is going on with this hot fugitive lady. It's not strictly helpful, but it's operating at a register that she knows Terui will respond to. (It's a minor thing, but Terui seems to genuinely enjoy Akiko's more manic episodes, so this is maybe a workable strategy for Akiko?)

I was thinking the same thing, and no, it doesn't seem like Trial's ever been used as a base form. (Xtreme, same deal I think.) Trial's a power-up for Accel, despite being its own Memory. I'd wonder about, like, Engine though. Is there any reason Engine can't work in the Driver?
