I'm all for this direction.

I have to say, I'm really intrigued by the Michinaga subplot and I'm also interested in how the show has been slowly nudging Keiwa towards being more ruthless. Both could end up with super interesting characters arcs I think.


As for the Desastar, I think they don't actually exist and are management is just messing with the players to cause drama.

Well there's just so much more in the show than their feud so far.

This'd mean Michinaga has Fuwa's (another Takahashi work) path instead of Kaito's. Michinaga does feel like secondary Riders the most.

Dunno where do you get the ruthless part from (well, Kekera does talk down about being good but it's him personally), but being competitive and wanting to win isn't inherently a bad/wrong thing (if that's the one seen as ruthless), as long as you won't directly do bad things to others to achieve it, which is doable as primarily you need power, skill, and knowledge to proceed through the DGP.

Otherwise, I'd personally hope this is used to make Keiwa just more assertive instead, like him at ep. 7 to Michinaga or Emu (previous Takahashi work) since Kuroto's revival.... of which Emu's development here seems overlooked.
