I don`t think that this is such an unpopular opinion, it`s more likely that it was simply not voiced, but... Dark Arc only harms a secondary rider. Tycoon, having become a villain, lost his last and already few fans; Igarashi Daiji completely dropped his show from the position of average to a lower position. Even Blades and Vulcan, who were never technically villains but were in active opposition to the protagonist, received the most hate during this period. Also, I don't think there are any fans of sad Hiro in a business suit. Maybe I don't remember everything, but villainy only works for those secondary riders who were the original antagonists, like Baron and Kaixa.
