Character focus particularly on Neon and Kanato, though dunno if them being fleshed out means the series are writing them out, especially for Neon as shown in preview.
So Neon'd make use of love and soulmate as her attempt to escape from her glided life, and even her streaming is done so her potential soulmate would notice her better. If it'd work out, dunno. And dunno what'd happen to her channel, which she claims she maintains for her huge over 10 million subscriber's sake. Her family, at least her mother (portrayed by Ryoko Yui, who also portrayed another terrible mom, Yoshie in W, albeit the lesser one compared to Mitsuko), are the snobby rich kind who views people who aren't on their level as pests that they can't stand. It's unknown too what are Kurama family's aims of using their wealth and restricting Neon so much from dating or even friends. There's more between Neon and Ace here than just both being the series' celebrities that had "collabed" together. Seems that Neon is Ace's close match in popularity too (and Ace's even extends to John and Ben too). Ace too, had a goal (so far) in finding someone, which he also used his fame to make the person he's searching for know his whereabouts/existence better. So his fame isn't exactly a mere test, but a step towards his true goal (so far). Though Neon's not like her shown family, and is actually pretty nice like shown in her interactions with... Kanato (didn't expect her to try asking him again, when Morio is there and accepted her before), like not getting mad at his hostility, accepting his "apology" teamup (to her detriment), and even consoling him by suggesting a better wish than human extinction, as someone born rich she seems to be someone naive and out of touch with reality too. Shown in her not realizing that, making her whereabouts known is how John and Ben find her at the first place, as Ace pointed out. And she also gets easily manipulated by said Kanato who only pretended to team up with her to lure her to hordes of zombies, not knowing that there can be two-faced people out there (likely due to most people showering her with adoration). In contrast, Ace continues to display his intellect and perceptiveness, with him blowing all off the zombies by surprise flood, knowing that Neon's wish meant more than merely finding her prince, and figuring out that Da-Paan got infected unlike others. All of this gives quite clear reason why Ace always wins DGP, other than his hypercompetence, other players doesn't seem to play the game due to being less experienced, and for the experienced runner up, Michinaga's clearly inferior one as him losing to Ace in his bet as expected, due to likely not using smarts, only his brawn (or putting down others). And now Michinaga's the one who's stuck with whacking enemies with Raise Water, and it's Ace being generous due to him not needing to give him Water Buckle. Ace here seems to show little concern about evildoings, at least in DGP, like letting Kanato do as he wishes, and using Japan's war analogy to compare with the game, though he would intervene when a player does evil things against others and doesn't put down Keiwa despite disagreeing with his peacemaking moves. It's not touched upon here, but dunno if him drowning Na-Go along with the zombies (despite saving her otherwise) is also him being cutthroat to DGP rivals or just being neglectful. Turns out that, some people are expecting Kanato to be full-blown villainous (instead of mere jerk), like Riders such as Asakura, Shibaura, or Micchy (who's also cold at school), and they're right. Kanato coldly brushes off anyone he interacts with before like Neon or Morio because, they're humans and he's a misanthrope. He had a misfortune of getting an injury that ends his basketball career (.. like Asakura's victim instead, Yuichi Saito). He suffers due to that, losing his main life goal, but he's the type who drags other down (and thus he particularly hates happy people like Neon), and thus he wants to kill any other humans. Now we got the first genuinely villainous Rider in Geats. He also had school shooter vibes, with his flashback being the "quiet kid in school reaches for his bag" type, but of course it's the Desire Driver instead of a gun. It seems rushed, but yeah this is unfortunately something realistic to curse whole humanity for a bad experience, just that, this series had the power to make a misanthrope's goals come true (aside from his Rider power too). Neon suggests him to make a wish that cures his leg, but yeah, it's not about basketball, just him knowing the truth about life's unfairness so yeah he won't care about playing basketball again. However, Kanato actually shows an interest in humans that he feels similar to himself, like attempting to team up with Michinaga... someone who's also filled with hatred towards other players and has bleak view of the world to paint everyone as selfish as him, though this time, he's the one who got rejected. But Kanato's really not levelheaded here, giving up Magnum Buckle which he really needs due to his injury that he can only fight with far-ranged weapons (like Kitaoka). The DGP's scoring system seems to encourage good manners and deeds, with the biggest point being given for rescuing others. Which fortunately, Keiwa benefits from this due to his altruistic sense of saving the civilians. Though he's also generally lucky, fitting his tanuki motif shown in his thighwrap, that he easily gets Boost Buckle again. Dunno if those civilians are set up there or that the Jamatos just reached there. He also attempts to inform others about the dangers of Jamato, of which he got stopped by Tsumuri due to DGP's rules. I also feel less suspicious for Morio as he approves of Keiwa's altruistic approach and also being concerned of Neon, seems to be another genuinely good person in DGP. Dunno why DGP had to be kept secretive despite its noble intentions. Tsumuri's nature is unknown but she seems to be able to be stealthy AND also jump off buildings from its window (wonder if there'd be Tsumuri action, her actress Kokoro Aoshima is a black belt in karate). I also didn't expect that, the Rider armor won't protect the players from zombies.

Contact Genm Corp! Someone made an illegal bootleg of Dangerous Zombie!
I strangely love how everyone's a jerk here, not uncommon in multiplayer video games, but the fact that it reminds me a bit of Ryuki just hits me right, I guess. The Chadguards are already my favorite minor characters. Love how they're simultaneously imposing and incompetent in the best way and how dorky they can be, especially when they saw Ukiyo. Really enjoyed the fights here, and I haven't brought it up yet, but I love the visual for the form changes looking like a factory/videogame selection with the sliding arm, even with the weird revolve gimmick, I think it works in a funny, yet makes sense kind of way. Also, Zombie's finisher is just plain cool with the tombstones. Also noticed that the opening is longer than the usual length of Rider openings, now almost the length normal openings go for (1:30 while Rider usually goes 1:10-1:15). Next Episode: Female Rider, make your bet.
