Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be that easy. But Ripper was still a useful plot device to start the friendship between Hanto and Lakia.

So Liselle is like a twisted version of Sachika with how she's drawn to unhappy people, except where Sachika wants to cheer them up, Liselle only wants to bask in their "cute" unhappiness. Would be interesting to see how these two interact.

Of course, many will interpret any cases of this as mere banter, and most'd hope for dynamics like this for characters. However, I believe Rakia is closer to Shoma and Sachika, as he treats them better, particularly with his genuine apology to Sachika. And I still hope that Shoma and Sachika won't engage in this dynamic just for comedic or entertainment purposes.

Shouma and Sachika aren't the types to act like that. While Lakia's continued provocation of Hanto looks like typical tsundere behavior to me, I agree that he's still closer to Sachika, the one who can get through to him the easiest. Hanto's and Lakia's dynamic reminds me of Geiz and Woz, where they have mutual respect and friendship, while still kind of disliking each other and being more attached to the Primary Rider. Hino Yusuke even joked about Lakia stealing Shouma from Hanto, so I guess they can also be compared to Otoya and Jirou (not the frappe).

It's due to Hanto being the weakest that he has to work the hardest to keep up with his Granute comrades. That's what we love about him, right?
