Was that ever explained, or is it like how Eiji wants to 'extend his hands' and come around in like episode 30~40?

He's asking if Gentarou's "befriend everyone" shtick has ever been explained or if it's gonna end up like Eiji's shtick (of "reaching out your hand") where it is hinted at but doesn't get explained until near the end.

To the former statement, it hasn't and personally? I dunno if it ever will, which I'm cool with.

What do you mean? In episode one they said that when he was younger, he wanted to make friends with 100 or 1000 people or something right? This is just an extension of that.

I'm not sure how "befriend everyone" is especially vague, anyway.

He... wants to be friends.

With everyone. Y'know?

Let me rephrase that: In OOO, Eiji said that he wanted to 'extend his hands to everyone he could,' as in help all that he could, due to the death of that little girl in his past. With Gentarou, it's a lot more vague as to the reason why he want's to befriend everyone. Sure we do have the little snippet you mentioned, but somehow, I think there's more to it than that.

They'll probably have some backstory thing to explain that.

I... really don't think it needs explaining O.o Gentarou declared he wants to be friends with everyone in the school. Because he's a friendly guy and is a little prone to hyperbole. It's not as outlandish as wanting to help everyone you can no matter the personal risk, it's just a little overzealous for a High-Schooler.

It's not like we needed an explanation for why Otoya plays the violin (because he uses it to pick up girls >_>) or why Date became a Doctor, it seems pretty self explanatory. At least that's my opinion..

no, in the series, it was showed in many ocassions that he truly loved and enjoyed playing the violin, it wasn't just to pick girl(tough that helped xD).
anyway, first of all, ooo is...well, Eiji just wanted to help people, like greenpeace or "medicos sin frontera"(sorry, i don't remember how it is called in english), he just want to help people who need help(after that little girl's incident, it practically became his only reason to keep living, tough)
Gentarou...he enjoys having people around him, he is happy around people and believe friends are the most important thing you could have. but i don't think he has any real reason to do it, he just enjoys doing it.

You think Genta has the same problem most kids with facebook have, they seem to think the more friends (numbers) on their profile, the popular they perceive themselves to be. But I understand what you mean, I think at the end of the series they director will show light as to the reason Genta feels the need to befriend everyone, kind of like how Eiji feels the need to save everyone because of his bad experiences in the past. But until then all we do is theorize.

I don't think Kisaragi is in it to become liked. I think he really is just simple-minded (not in a bad way) and chose this way of living at some point.

I don't know. Alot of characters have had odd things about them in the past which has related to some emotion issue often later revelead in the series. Takumi Inui (555) lone wolf style of living, hated creating relationships. Nago (Ixa) Button collecting. Shouichi (Agito) Memory loss. These days Riders tend to be more emotionally involved in what they do. I suppose it's alot better to show a (decent) human side of the rider, rather than Kaijin destroying emotionless soldier.
