The 'What if's of Daishuuryou-sama.
There are many things in my mind about All Rider VS Dai Shocker aside its EPICness and how Troll-chan just TROLLED EVERYONE and I got goosebumps when all those Riders showed up. *_* But I'm at work now and I don't know whether I can write it down like the way I want it. And it will be short. :|( Read more... )
He kind of is, in some ways. Although I don't think it was JUST for the sake of his loved ones, I do think it was in general to save the worlds in the end.
I mean, okay, haven't seen All RIders, but between what I know of it and of the last one, the way I interpret is he had these ideals and goals and he was willing to be the destroyer in order to save ALL the worlds, you know? Kind of like how when Fuuma makes the distinction to Karen between a wish that is ultimately selfish and extraordinary wishes that go beyond oneself. Anyway, the thing is that when he lost his memory, Tsukasa forgot all about his plan to be the destroyer to save everything. He forgot the things that had to be done for it. Instead he met Yusuke and Natsumi, and they became important to him, and he was now focused more specifically on THEM. That's why he was willing to risk it all to save Natsumi. He'd forgotten his "higher purpose". So the problem is that when Kenzaki starts talking to him about making sacrifices for a higher purpose, it comes into conflicts with his new priority, which is to save his loved ones (because sister or no, I think he was very isolated before meeting them and so just wasn't able to really think about saving specific people, you know?). So really the conflict is, now that he's being told about the hard choices he was SUPPOSED to make.... how does he reconcile that, the higher purpose, but also keeping his friends safe? And the thing is that in the end it would seem that he found a way to do both.

Yeah, whether or not the writers intended for this to be understood, it seems unlikely to me that his parents could have been anything BUT that, you know?
So yeah, pretty much what I think is that he was probably quite sheltered/isolated when his parents were still alive and never really learned how to relate to people ina normal way... you know, he never knew what it was to have a FRIEND, till he met Yusuke and Natsumi (interestingly enough, the same can be said for Daiki, although the circumstances leading to it were slightly different). And then when his parents died, he probably CHOSE to isolate himself even more.
I think that one of his biggest problems is his difficulty in communication.
Oh yeah, totally agree. And it's kind of funny, because in that way he's an archtypical GUY... except cranked up to 11. XD
He never (or, okay, rarely) shares his plans and problems, worries and thoughts, until he just does whatever it is that he decides to do. And since he's willing to do anything to get the result that he wants, he's almost always misunderstood.
Yup. And well, it's interesting how see how the way he goes about it changes. In Kuuga's world, he goes about his plan almost gleefully... you know, in a way almost like he expects to be hailed for his brilliance later. And of course it turns out badly, and that's how he starts to change. And he kind of goes back and forth, and finally, the OTHER extreme is in RX world, when Natsumi is hurt and he has to save her and he's desperate but even THEN he can't just bring himself to just say to Yusuke "Please stay with Natsumi while I go after Apollo Geist"... okay, EVETUALLY he's all "Natsumi wo tanomu" or whatever it was he said, but it was like pulling nails, and it was only after pissing Yusuke off so he'd stay failed.
And he always just kind of keeps his own council and doesn't really open up... I predict that he and Natsumi will have many many blowups over it during their life together. :3

I was thinking along those lines too. And when he remembered what was he supposed to do he got himself in a conflict.
Someone has to write a fic about this, because if Toei won't show us we're left to make our own assumptions. >_>;
