Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

"He threw everything away and chose a life with me, instead! In return, I wanted to protect the little happiness that he sacrificed so much to attain!"

Not everything in Revice is all about kicking demons' asses; the third season of Reiwa era really puts emphasis on family, and it shows.

Series

Episode 4: A Relationship Lovelorn! A Dangerous Demon is Born!

• Though their relationship became greatly strained by now, Ikki and Daiji were able to fully patch things up by the end of the episode, with Ikki signing the Fenix contract, and Daiji intending to get an eviction deferral from FENIX following the previous episode's notice.
• Ikki and Yukimi's exchange at the hospital following his and Daiji's fight:
  Ikki: Sometimes I just don't understand what Daiji's thinking at all. He's so fussy. He's worried about so much that his body just freezes up when he needs it the most.
  Yukimi: Daiji is really quite sensitive. He's doesn't want to hurt anyone. Not even himself. Daiji is just trying to find his own way in life.
  Ikki: Do you really think so?
  Yukimi: Ikki. You have to learn to accommodate how others feel. No one is strong all the time. Everyone is vulnerable. If you act without thinking first, you may hurt others without noticing. If you don't see that sooner, then you'll be living as half a man for the rest of your life!
• Ayaka and her mother also make up as well, with the latter admitting her fault and telling the former that no matter what happens, she's still her daughter and she will always love her.

Episode 5: The World Reforming Rider! Who Is The Traitor!?

• The reason Bon's grandfather went with Ikki to the company Bon was in was to give him food, disregarding the trouble his grandson caused.

Episode 8: A Family Vacation, of Relaxation and Devastation?

• Yukimi and Genta truly enjoying each other's company, with the former telling the story of how she fell for her husband.
• It got ruined by what happened afterward, but Yukimi being congratulated on her recovery by her husband and kids through a personalized banner and a bouquet really underscores how tight-knit the Igarashis are, mostly.

Episode 9: Kagero Rampages! The Fall of the Igarashi Brothers...!?

• Yukimi's the only one among the Igarashi's that can maintain a smile on her face. Though what happened with Daiji is tragic nonetheless, she maintains her smile so when Daiji comes back, it's to a home he can come back to.
• Yukimi and Genta give Ikki the resolve he needs to look for Daiji, remembering a time during their childhood when Ikki found the latter after he went missing when they were playing hide-and-seek. It's because of this that they know he can bring Daiji home, as he knows him better than anyone else, even the family.

Episode 10: Eldest and Youngest, Believe in Your Kindness.

• Out of all people, it's Vice who not only tries to cheer Ikki up, but also points out that Ikki never truly had put his faith on Daiji, and encourages him to start doing so along with giving him a glimmer of hope by informing Daiji hasn't given up within Kagero.
• Ikki apologizes to Daiji for never considering his feelings nor placing true faith in him. As he begs for forgiveness, Daiji hears it all and starts to break out of Kagero.

• With his return, the episode ends with the Igarashi family happily having dinner together.

Episode 12: The Weakest is also the Strongest!? Invincible Jeanne!

• Ikki and Sakura's talk about her joining the fight. During this, Ikki explains while Daiji was harsh when he said it, both of them don't want to lose anyone in their family. When asking him if he's there to discourage her from joining, Ikki says otherwise, but encourages her to drop the tough act.
• Seiko was bound to give up on her son Ryo's treatment, but Sakura encourages her to not lose hope, because Ryo is still fighting to stay alive.
• Daiji once again shows his true kindness underneath his harsh demeanor, revealed to have gone to FENIX and asked for their help in assisting Ryo's treatment.
• Sakura and Lovekov's interaction at the end of the episode is nothing short of adorable. Unlike Daiji with Kagero, and Ikki with Vice, Sakura gives Lovekov some petting and babytalks with her.
  • Even before that, Lovekov's manifestation was to basically comfort Sakura. The moment Sakura notices her, she stops crying and the bonding happens peacefully.

Episode 13: A Close Call Case in the Fenix Skybase!

• Even though he can't transform at the moment, Hiromi proves he's still a hero by protecting Lovekov with nothing but his bare hands.
  Hiromi: I will lay down my life to protect this child!
• Ikki finally trusts Vice and allow himself to be stamped again to materialize Vice into a corporeal form.
  • This mutual trust was the spark needed to complete the Barid Rex Vistamp. How the display of trust is played out is both heartwarming and awesome.
    Vice: *balling his hand into a fist* I waited long enough for this.
    Ikki: *smiling as Vice punches the Giff Junior over his shoulder* I trust you, Vice!

Episode 14: The Man in Command...is A Deadman?

• When Kudo accuses Ikki of having No Sympathy tendencies, Vice reassures him by telling him he's fine the way he is, and that a little bit of egoism now and then doesn't hurt.

Episode 15: Ruination! Confrontation! Ending the Deadmans' Reign!

• Julio cares more about Aguilera than about the resurrection of Giff (which was the goal of the group to begin), and he shows it from start to end of the episode, loudly protesting about the plan, reluctantly playing his role, trying to release her from the chair, and embracing her as she screams anguished at Giff's supposed destruction.

Episode 17: A Betrayal's Depths, How a True Buddy Accepts.

• Ikki asks George to develop a Vistamp that can return Giftexes to normal. Goes to show that he wants to save everyone, even if they were people like Kudo or Haitani.
• Julio's reason for joining the Deadmans cult; he was once betrayed by Yosuke, his friend in high-school, and turned to the Deadmans cult. Aguilera told him to cheer up, which earned his loyalty and now he does the same for his beloved leader.
  • The reason he always tells Aguilera to smile was because Yosuke said it to him first, showing that while hurt by the betrayal, deep down he still valued their time together. It is also because giving him a smile and wanting him to smile as well is one of the very first things Aguilera did for him.

Episode 18: A Buddy's Vice, The Miracle of Fire and Ice.

• Yosuke's determination to reconcile with Go/Julio, even going out of his way to return the card he unwillingly tore up taped back together as proof of their friendship.
• Julio humbly requests Sakura that, in case he dies, she should become the one to protect Aguilera.
  • Later on, while fighting a berserk Julio, Sakura tries to go for a finisher, but stops herself upon remembering his look of despair when Olteca killed Yosuke and tries to calm him down instead.
• Ikki questions himself in that he cared about everyone except himself, and then Vice goes on to remind him that he also cared for the well-being of his inner demon, therefore caring about himself, going on to remind him that they are not so different.
  • Vice helping prop him up and walk to meet with George to request another shot at Volcano Barid Rex.
    Vice: Are you sure? I might gobble you up.
    Ikki: As if you'd betray me.
• Ikki and Vice manage to defeat Julio without killing him, turning him back into a human.
• Aguilera coming to save and comfort Julio with a warm smile, even after he lost his powers.
• The end of the episode, while funny for Vice dropping Ikki and asking for a piggyback ride, doubles as heartwarming, because Ikki smiles at him and plays along by feigning anger.

Episode 19: Demons' Grave Warning, Hiromi's Deadly Encircling!?

• We learn why Hiromi holds Wakabayashi in such high esteem: since young, he wanted to be a hero, but was the weakest of his batch during his rookie days. Just as he was about to quit, Wakabayashi gave him the pep-talk needed to regain his drive.
• Julio puts his past as a Deadmans behind him and meets up with Sakura as Go Tamaki after her training to give her some water and beg her to save Aguilera from her demon.

Episode 20: Unfeeling And Fleeting, The Price Of Transforming.

• When Hiromi's at a loss as to what he should do, Ikki encouraged him to be the hero he wanted to be and transform and fight if he needed to, but also promised him that he would protect Hiromi's life with his own.
  • When Hiromi held down Olteca so that Revice could perform a finisher on him with the intention of a Heroic Sacrifice, Ikki followed through on his word and kicked the Demons Driver off of Hiromi before it could completely devour him, allowing Hiromi to transform, fight and survive.
  • After the fight, Ikki and Hiromi share a fist-bump.
• At the end of the episode, it's revealed that Ikki convinced his mom to let Vice have some curry. This leads to Vice giving Ikki a heartfelt thank you when he finds out... before taking off his mask and digging in in such a way that it horrifies the Igarashis.

Episode 21: As My Life Turns To Dust, My Emotions I Entrust.

• When Giff's presence starts hurting Vice inside Ikki, Ikki doesn't even hesitate to let him out just to quickly try to help him get over the pain.

Episode 23: Vice's Role Reversal... Is This Truly a Betrayal!?

• Aguilera reveals to Sakura that she ditched Tamaki because she knew he would go straight to Sakura, as the Igarashi cares about those who are weaker than them, as demonstrated when Aguilera kicks Lovekov down.
  Aguilera: (solemn) Keep him safe, like you do with her.
• Speaking of Lovekov, there's the fact she came slithered into the fight to help Sakura. Granted she wasn't much help but it's the thought that counts...
  • Not to mention towards the beginning of the fight and after their respective transformations, she wishes Jeanne and Live good luck!
    Lovekov: Go for it!~
  • And when Sakura is knocked out of the fight, she hovers over her via her ghostly form to see if she's okay.
• Kagero steps in to protect Sakura the moment Olteca tries to finish her off, although he only claims it's because he wants to eat her curry.
• The truth behind Vice's "betrayal" and going out to have fun is that he just wanted to protect Ikki from George, as George was willing to pick Vice apart and Vice doesn't trust him since he hid important details from Hiromi.
• Mayu has been trying to protect Kūki Kaidan all by herself by using the Elephant and Shark Deadmans, and when she tearfully confesses to them that she couldn't bear them being mistreated, they reassured her that they will keep at it and become comedians she can be proud of, as she will continue to cheer for them.

Episode 24: The Return of Professor Karizaki! A Topsy-Turvy Rescue Strategy!

• Vice confesses he loves Ikki a lot and is afraid that George is just going to use Ikki for something shady.
• Ikki knows Vice won't trust George, so he offered the demon a new contract: Trust in him trusting in George. Not only it works, but Vice is more than happy to trust in Ikki while still remaining distrustful of George.

Episode 25: Revival! Vail!? The Igarashi Family's Dark Tale.

• We see that Masumi was a very encouraging parent to George, supporting him in his pursuit of science and giving him advice.
  • Later on, he warns Vail to stay away from George.
• Aguilera still cares enough about the Deadmans Cult to not want Olteca to sacrifice them to make Gifftarians. Not that it stops him, sadly.
• When Ikki's repressed memories starts to surface thanks to Vail, Vice does his best to try and prevent him from remembering. Even if it amounts to nothing, he had a good reason to.
• Kamen Rider Vail is about to kill the Igarashi siblings, pausing for a second when Sakura and Daiji tries to protect Ikki, and just as he was about to blast them Genta takes back control and stops him as well as undoing the transformation.
• Ikki and Vice met 18 years ago, when Ikki was just a child witnessing Vail burn down the Igarashi Bathhouse. Vice offers his first contract there: He would always protect Ikki's family, but in exchange Ikki would have to forget what happened there, and even goes as far as swearing to never bring the past back up.
  • This likely puts the whole of him trying to eat Ikki's mother as an actual joke: he never actually intended to.
• While he couldn't stop Vail, Genta still tried to stop Vail from destroying the Bathhouse and harming his family, even if he couldn't succeed at the time.

Episode 26: Dueling! Departing!? The Ending of Darkness and Light.

• It's implied Kagero's feelings towards Daiji are similar to Desast's from the previous series, specially since he knew he was going to lose anyways, wanted Daiji to stop holding back and wanted him to become more ruthless, since his kindness always caused him to hold back.
• Professor Karizaki actually grafted Giff's cells in Junpei to save his life, and he later helped Junpei escape Noah so he could meet Yukimi and embrace his new life as Genta.
  • It's implied Masumi isn't done in his attempts to atone for the birth of Kamen Rider Vail and knows he can't be simply forgiven.

Episode 27: Stop It! The Ramming Runaway's Rumbling Rampage.

• After Yukimi comes back to the bathhouse and reveals that she knew about Genta's past all along, she gives her children a hug that they all reciprocate, showing just how much her moral fiber was the glue that kept the Igarashi family together.
  • The group hug (pictured above) has Yukimi telling Vice to join them as well, acknowledging him as another Ikki.
• Vice being genuinely afraid of losing Ikki, while Ikki tries to cheer him up, and it ends with them promising to take a bath together once this is resolved.

Episode 28: Gale and Thunder Beyond Fear! The Time to Merge is Here!

• George learned his lesson from Hiromi and decided to do something for once rather than watch from the sidelines.
  • He also made a huge gamble for Ikki and Vice's life, believing that they could come out of this together.
• Go Tamaki coming for Aguilera, even if she didn't make her mind yet about what she should chase.

Episode 31: Guided by an Illusion, the Consequence of Aspiration.

• The reason Ikki forgot his promise to Jiiko is because Vice couldn't bear to see Ikki suffering from guilt of accidentally breaking Jiiko's leg during a soccer match, so he made a small abuse of their contract to protect Ikki from those painful memories.
  • Jiiko and Ikki apologize to each other in the illusion and renew their promises, waking to fulfill their current roles: Ikki going to assist Daiji against the Rafflesia Deadman and Jiiko filling in for Subaru in the voice acting.
• Subaru never stopped believing in Ikki and Jiiko, insisting that Ikki didn't lie and that Jiiko isn't the one who created the Rafflesia Deadman.
  • When it's revealed he is the one, he explains that he knew it was wrong to use demons like that and that he only did knowing it would send Ikki into the Dream World to relive his past and remember their promises. After that is done, Subaru calls Jiiko and asks him to fill in for him, asks Ikki that they all should play soccer together again someday, and then turns himself in to Fenix, happy to have settled all this situation.

Episode 32: A Lost Place to Reside, the Dethroned Queen's Pride.

• To make up for erasing Ikki's memories due to their contract, Vice draws a caricature of Ikki on one of the family photos he's disappeared from, to fill up the space where he used to be.
• When Vice sadly notes that the Igarashi family is in pieces, Yukimi quickly retorts that no matter what happens, she's sure that they're still the strongest family.
• Aguilera reminisce of when she was little and people from the cult played with her at the aquarium, but takes a turn for tearjerker when she trips and realizes she is all alone all of sudden.
  • Tamaki later confirms to Ikki and Yukimi that Aguilera's life shined brighter back when she was part of the Deadmans.
• Tamaki finds Aguilera on the rooftop and tells her that she's the most important thing to him in the universe.
• When Revice is about to perform their finisher, Sakura realizes it's wrong to force purification on Aguilera and goes to hug her, laying her life on the line to protect her.

Episode 33: Lovekov's Rebellion!? Sakura's Resolution.

• Tamaki invites Aguilera to create good memories with him. While it doesn't work, it's the thought that counts.
• After learning from Tamaki that Aguilera hadn't experienced much outside the Deadmans cult, Sakura invites her to go have fun at an amusement park together before their final fight; Aguilera is initially reluctant, but eventually starts opening up and having fun too.
  • While this happens, Ikki and Tamaki watch them from afar, and the former fights off Vail to ensure that the two can have fun.
• As Sakura seems to have struck the fatal blow, Aguilera confesses that she loved Sakura, only for the latter to tell her to drop the past tense. She then separated Aguilera from her Deadman using the Hashibirokō Vistamp's power, allowing her to finally cut ties with the Deadmans and live as a normal human again.
  • Even better, it's shown that Sakura requested George to make the stamp, with even Masumi and Hikaru pitching in for her too. Goes to show that despite everything Aguilera's done, everyone was willing to team up to save her. This revelation moves Aguilera, or rather, Hana to tears as Sakura gives her a warm hug, promising her a place where she can belong.
  • The ending of the episode has Hana and Sakura taking a bath together and playfully splashing each other with water.
  • Hana ends up joining weekend by Sakura's side.

• When Hikaru expresses doubt about Sakura's ability to handle herself, Hana sticks up for her and tells him to believe in her.

Episode 36: Mankind At an Intersection, Each Person's Decision

• The main reason Hana becomes Kamen Rider Aguilera is to protect Sakura and atoning her past sins she committed during her times with the DeadMans cult.
• Hana also Took a Level in Kindness in how she treats Tamaki as well, now openly making a Declaration of Protection to him instead of being outwardly abusive but having a Hidden Heart of Gold to him.

Episode 38: Father and Son Synthesize! The Ultimate Revice!

• Everyone celebrating Hiromi's return; even Vice got materialized for the occasion.
  • Lovekov, even while intangible, lingers behind Hiromi with sheer joy, chanting his name.

  • Ikki coming in at the nick of time and stopping the creation of the Vistamp at just the right time to save his father and complete the Vistamp anyways. As far as he is concerned, if it costs his father's life he'd rather not use the Stamp.
• After Genta drops the Junpei act, Buu-san soon follows and they all share a laugh together, while helping Genta to his feet.

• George shows concern for his father's well-being and even tells him to rest because it's now his time to take charge.

• Hana once more displaying a difference in how she treats Tamaki, though she slapped the sense out of him, this time it's a Get A Hold Of Yourself Man move to remind themselves to be The Atoner instead of her usual abuse.
• The exchange between Hiromi and George, where George asks the ex-Rider to deliver Mass Production Demons Drivers to his subordinates, before apologizing to Hiromi without expecting his forgiveness. Hiromi goes to punch George in the face, but once again stops one inch from contact, then lowers his fist and bumps against George's chest, before walking away with the case containing the Drivers, surprising George, who then respectfully bows to him.
• Even though Daiji has gone completely off his rocker and is now attacking him, Ikki holds back while fighting and makes multiple attempts to try and reach out to Daiji. Even as Daiji is preparing to use his Finishing Move on them, Ikki holds Sakura back and simply tries talking to Daiji to try and get through to him.

Episode 40: Family or the World... Brothers' Quarrel of the Soul!

• Hana gives Sakura a Cooldown Hug and offers to listen to her when the latter runs off after Tasuke declared Daiji as Weekend's enemy and gives orders to defeat him, mirroring what Sakura did for her in #33. An invisible Lovekov also gives Sakura headpats and comforts her.
• Akaishi starts to realize he actually has emotions the moment he empathizes with Daiji's loneliness.
  • In his own way he also comforts Tasuke in his final moments, even laying the photo of his family on his body. And while Akaishi could have continued his attack on Weekend, he simply chose to retreat.
  • As soon as Ikki defeated Daiji and started to approach him, Akaishi interrupted and told Ikki to leave his family (Daiji) alone
  • It is more evident that Akaishi is having conflicted thoughts about how he feels about Daiji and his own crusade in the name of Giff, as in contrast to previous episodes he didn't smile even for a fraction. He even gives Daiji a Cooldown Hug of his own.

    Genta: Enough is enough, Vail. Please, have a rest within me.

Episode 44: Giving My All For the Mission, the Path of My Decision.

• George reluctantly allows Hiromi to use the Demons Driver again, but upon on one condition: That he never says he will be laying his life on the line again.
  • It's Heartwarming in Hindsight when you realize that George isn't the same guy we first knew. He knew that the last time Hiromi said that line, he got blasted of a cliff. That's some Character Development there.
• Hiromi devoting his entire being to help Daiji face his past and later reuniting with everyone.

  • And he reveals that he never died, he never went anywhere, he just stayed quiet within the Vistamp until Daiji truly needed him.

Episode 46: Courage to Face Each Other... What Should You Really Protect?

• For the first time, Sakura manifests Lovekov while not transformed, so they can better interact, and realizes that as much as she wanted to protect her demon because she feared Lovekov would get hurt, she learns that her demon wanted to protect and fight with her as well, and that realization speeds up the growth of Lovekov's "wound", helping Sakura realize that the demon was not hurt, but rather molting.

• Daiji, Sakura, Hana and Tamaki all talk about their memories of Ikki, knowing what is to come. He may be a busybody, but he's their busybody.
• After Ikki and Vice defeat George, Hiromi gives George the drawings he made as a kid which Masumi kept. It's the same animals as the 10 special Vistamps making up Barid Rex and Juuga's power set, complete with the animals drawn in the same colours as depicted on the Vistamps' surface. It is then that the truth behind the Vistamps were revealed: the entire principle behind Vistamps was based on a doodle George drew of a T-Rex bursting out of a person's body, while the ten special Vistamps were directly based on those drawings.
  • While George was bent on surpassing his father, the truth was that everything Masumi ever created ultimately has its roots in a young George's ideas, and Revice is the culmination of the combined talents of father and son. This revelation finally allows George to let go of his hatred and cry out in grief for his deceased father, admitting he misses him.

Episode 49: At Battle's Conclusion... All That Remains Is the Demon.

• It's rather nice to see Vice being a goofball and entertaining the customers at Happy Spa, with nobody acting fearful or suspicious towards him. Goes to show that despite the destruction the Deadmans caused, humans can indeed coexist with demons.

• George gives his apologies to Ikki, and later Vice for essentially being the cause of what's happened to them.
• When he leaves Happy Spa, Hiromi and George both offer a helping hand to Ikki and Vice, as they're now on their own. On Hiromi's part, he hooks him up with a former FENIX dormitory as his new living space, while George looks into Ikki and Vice's contract to find any hint to help restore Ikki's memories.
• Before going to sleep, Vice asks Ikki if they'll always be partners. Ikki corrects him by saying he's not his partner, but rather, he's family. This becomes a Tear Jerker once they have their fight...
• Ikki receives word that Vice has gone rogue and started attacking people. However, it's revealed as soon as they start fighting that everyone was helping Vice act evil so that Ikki would fight him, as part of Vice's attempt to return Ikki's memories.

Final Episode: Family to the End, Until the Day We Meet Again.

• Vice went through this entire plan to not only ensure Ikki regains his memory but also to ensure that everyone will help him smile after this. To the very end, Vice cared more about Ikki than Ikki himself did.
  • Everyone involved with his plan to create a convincing scene was once someone Ikki and Vice helped, doing so as a way to pay them back.
• What should have been a massive tearjerker is turned into a bittersweet moment when Ikki and Vice tone down their fighting into a rather comical battle where they use every power as Ikki's memories of him starts to vanish.
• Vice thanking Ikki before vanishing.
• Ikki regaining his memories and hugging his family.
  • The scene after that? Ikki being restored in all his family photos.

• Ikki squee-ing over meeting Miura. The fact that Kentaro Maeda is a huge Yokohama F.C. fan in real life adds to the heartwarming.
• While Ikki is still unable to remember Vice, everyone still does and treasures him in some way, with Yukimi keeping a rubber ducky that was modified to look like Vice were possessing it, claiming it's a Guardian Spirit.
  • This is affirmed in the final scene before The Stinger, showing Vice's ducky next to a restored family photo of the Igarashi family.
• Ikki acting like Vice for a brief moment during the dinner is a bit of funny and heartwarming in a way since it means somehow Vice is still with him in a way.
  • Also note the empty space next to Ikki shown. We know who’s that for.
