On paper that's something I would like. to see goofy Mei being a swordswoman and all.
But the more I think about it, the more I'm remembering Rintaro training in Liberation to be able to withstand the power of a full combo and the struggles of Touma at first (being exhausted and all).

There is no way they can make Mei wield Ikazuchi without breaking my suspension of disbelief and what being a swordman/rider in this universe means or asks you to become one.

If they had her just pick up Ikazuchi and instantly be as good as the others with no backlash, yeah that would be hard to swallow. But remember, Touma started out with no sword skill either (in fact if you go back to the discussion thread for the first episode, there's people expressing the same disbelief about him!), and honestly still isn't that good compared to the others, but he learned and grew stronger pretty quickly. So it doesn't seem out of the question for Mei to go through a similar growth. All she'd really need is a good training montage, possibly using Liberation, and to show her still getting used to it in her first couple fights.

And an "inexperienced squire becoming a full-fledged knight" character arc would fit perfectly with Saber's tone and themes. Touma has a bit of that going on, but it's minor compared to his quest to save Luna and his destiny to obtain power, so it would be neat to see Mei have more focus on that.

People are forgetting that the show mentioned in the first episode that ordinary humans can’t use the Seikens normally. And more recent episodes have established that Touma has something special about him, despite being an ordinary human. So u less they establish something similar about Mei, it’s unlikely she’ll become a rider.

I don't think they'd care about that really

Nothing's stopping them from doing whatever, but frankly, Buster's little kid has a better chance of becoming a rider than Mei does.

The definition of ordinary human is pretty vague at the moment though. Touma was able to become Saber after Rekka chose him for his bravery. So maybe Mei just needs to do something heroic so Ikazuchi will deem her worthy?

Rekka did choose him for his bravery, but as revealed last week's episode, there's more to Touma than just le chosetsuka that how Ogami says it? The kid that Touma saw in his Primitive vision was the same actor as his kid self. No ordinary homosapien can wield a Seiken, because Touma isn't one.

Mei is more so set up as another Sophia-like entity, what with Sophia giving her the key to the Northern Base and Book-screen thingy. Could I see her get some sort of joke form like how Akiko, Nico, or Jun? Sure. Maybe something like her accidentally obtaining a some sort of artificial Seiken. I know there are high chances of us getting mook riders.

Guess what I found after posting my review of Saber's latest episode? I'm afraid I don't have the images, nor know how to put them up, but Saber's getting ANOTHER new form and our next Rider has been revealed.
-So Saber's new form is Elemental Primitive Dragon, which is a fiery red looking version of Primitive Dragon with some of the elements of it remaining the same color. It's mostly dark red with it turning orange then to the light blue color scheme of Primitive on the arms and coattails. Honestly, it looks great, but the color scheme is a little bizzare.
-And the next Rider is finally our female Rider (Since you've been waiting for it) and it's Reika (Yeah, I'm not surprised) as Kamen Rider Sabera. She has a new Sword for her Henshin item, which looks like a rapier. She's dark red, gold and dark pink with some cloud details on her helmet and looks like a fusion between Poppy and Marika, with her sword piercing through the cloud details on the left of her head facing downward at seven-o-clock. She looks great, even if it's Reika, but they could have picked a better name for her.
Again, sorry for not being able to show them here, and I can barely make out any of the other information.
