Two of our four Energy Riders in one shot! The dastardly Sid, the lovable and deadly Minato! One article! Enjoy!

Share some of your memories of these two memorable characters. And their endings ... especially Marika's ... do you agree with them? Should they have been changed?

These two energy riders really don't resonate with me too much in terms of sympathy.

Also, did anyone else think that the Genesis Driver had so much story potiental but got shoved to the side in the end? Anyone who had a Genesis Driver either got it blown up or got killed (If they used it exclusively). I understood as part of the story that all of these evil people had more power and they were gonna die anyway but it kinda fell into the same rut of treating the users of the second belt like shit.

These two were the definition of self absorbed ass ( Sigurd ) and loyal subordinate ( Marika ).
They are the first riders that I legitly hated in terms of morals. I did like their design and how they generally were good fighters but damn they were asses well Sigurd was Marika was kinda just to loyal.

Anyway, I will still miss them cause I felt that Yoko and Sid had a ton of potential but you know for plot reasons they died.

Sid was a terrible fighter. He relied entirely on brute strength to beat down his opponent, and got trashed as soon as he faced someone on equal terms with him- note the difference between his first fights with Kouta and Kaito, and then his fights with them after they got Jinba and Lemon Energy forms, respectively. He fought in a manner fitting for what he really was: A bully.

I will always hold a lot of respect for Yoko. She may have fallen victim to the curse like most of the others, but she's still the longest lasting female Rider by a lengthy margin and undoubtedly the most badass.
