NO implications of romance with Koyomi. I don't understand why everyone thinks she and Haruto should have been together. Their relationship, while somewhat understandable (Haruto latches onto her as the only other survivor of the ritual) was clingy, creepy, co-dependent and blatantly disturbing. I would like it if the show had highlighted this and/or had Haruto come to realise it for himself.
Give Koyomi much more presence in the show and have her stay in the role she initially occupied: Haruto's assistant who was more assertive, not just constantly dependent on him. Also acknowledge that her being dependent on Haruto to live is a BAD thing - her situation is basically the reverse of Nitou's.
While I like Shunpei as he is, I'd tone his wackiness down a bit and let him question/challenge the situation more: I think one of his best moments as a character was calling Haruto out during the arc about Haruto's teacher.
Allow Rinko to act as a police officer in situations where it's reasonable that she would; rather than sidelining her or making her hold back so the Riders could shine.
Give Mayu her own suit and allow her to achieve her goal of taking down Medusa. If Medusa must be betrayed by Fueki, have him show up with Medusa expecting him to save her, but he just stands there and lets Mayu finish her off.
I think the idea of four wizards being needed for the new ritual was decent, but Yamamoto/Yuzuru were introduced too late and were basically just suit-stuffers. I would come up with something else regarding the ritual, cut Yamamoto entirely (or have him as a "guest of the week") and relocate Yuzuru to a guest character.
Plant some sort of foreshadowing regarding Fueki so that Wiseman/White Wizard doesn't turn out to be this complete stranger we've never seen before. Make it less obvious that Wiseman/White Wizard are the same person.
Some of the Phantoms of the week would be female. It's absurd that there were only ever two female Phantoms when we saw several of them during the eclipse ritual, and when this show comes on the heel of W and OOO, which had a roughly equal balance of male to female monsters of the week.
Cut Kizaki for no other reason than that I can't stand him.
