Re: Strongest Kogarasamu member
Yeah,i hope Ikki can create a new trick that Sora Takeuchi doesn't have.(because Nue told Ikki that all of his trick are all copies)
All of Ikk's Wind Tricks, only. They're Tricks Sora taught him. All of his other Tricks he did himself, with help from Ringo and others. And there's one Trick he did that's exclusive to him only, that is a Hurricane Road Trick--the "Null Wind" (a Trick that he did in the Kogarasumaru vs. Sleipnir battle).
And I'm hoping Ikki later gives back all the cores that are being combined with his Storm Regalia core (Wind+Rumble; he'll probably keep the Thunder Regalia core); after the fight against Sora. Kazu should get the Flame Regalia back, Agito should get the Fang Regalia back, and Kilik should get the Gem Regalia back. If Ikki keeps the Thunder Regalia core, then Dr. Minami should make another for the Thunder King to use. Maybe it'll be Blackburn again, since Nue doesn't want to use the core.
@OP: As it was explained, the situation in which Ikki put his brakes on makes him out to be
extremely skilled as a Stormrider. The only two people besides him who can do it in that situation are Sora and Kilik. That's what made Nue and Blackburn accept him as the one to take the Thunder Regalia core. Pay more attention, please.
As for Road of the Gem King, it's actually the Gaia Road. In the original Sleeping Forest, Kilik was the Gem King of the Gaia Road. Nike, having been a Wing Road Rider like his brother, combined the Wing and Gaia Roads to get the Jade Road.
Anyways, right now, even though Kazu probably won't ever use the Doors again as it hurts him and it could kill him, he's the strongest in the Team because of the ability to use that Trick (Nine Heavens' Door: Aetir). Without it, though, I'd say the strongest is Agito/Akito/Lind. But yeah, by the end of the series it'll definitely be Ikki. I just hope he does give back the Regalia that combined with his own, as I'm thinking it was only for the battle against Sora that they did that. Kazu was hurt and in no shape to "run," and Agito also couldn't have done much at that point, so they both gave their Regalia to Ikki, but do notice that unless they get them back, not only are they without a Regalia, they are also without their back wheels since that's the core of the Regalia, which is what they gave to Ikki to put into his Storm Regalia. I'm not sure why Simca gave him the Gem Regalia though; maybe a spoil of war?
As long as those Regalia are part of the Storm Regalia, really, it's not the Storm Regalia anymore. It's an incomplete Sky Regalia (AT parts' version, as the actual Sky Regalia isn't AT parts), since Kilik said to Simca in that flashback about the original Sleeping Forest that all Eight Roads and all Eight Regalia were once part of the same whole. If we are to take those words literally, then the Eight Regalia can be combined into one. And the Hurricane Road is really only Wing Road + Over Road. The Rising Road is there to augment those two Roads. Adding any more Roads to the mix will only bring it closer to being the "Sky Road," if there ever was one.
