What if Nazca Dopant was used as a secondary "Rider" instead of Accel?

[Oblivion]

Yeah, but since we are on topic anyways, we might as well discuss what good would it bring if the writers decided for Kirihiko to take Accel's place. The interaction between Saeko and Sonozaki members and Kirihiko would probably be pretty awesome so to speak, and Isaka can always be rewritten to kill Kirihiko's family instead, thus his strong sense of love for the city and his desire to clean it of it's monsters. Having your family killed doesn't always have to end up with the character being a super angsty jerk like how Terui was.

 

[Forever Knight]

Much as I liked Kirihiko, I liked what his death did for my impression of the series more. Having such a major character die so early showed that W wasn't messing around - it made me so much more on edge waiting for the fates of the other characters.

Very true.
