At this point we're too far in to do anything about it but keep moving forward. Even doing something like restrict crossrides would only create massive instability, as the EN scene has demonstrated--it's not all hype, as once you take 13k out of the equation you suddenly have seven months of 26k+ vanguard lines knocking on the doors of 10k and 11k units with nothing to balance out those lines. What do you do with Dungaree showing up with four way 18k rearguard lines and a 21k center column? That was made to beat down these decks.
The Amaterasu crossride is necessary if CEO is to have her own competitive play style distinct from CoCo and Tsukuyomi. And in Cardfight, everything is competitive--every time the scene does its best to disprove this, fighters like Buckley show up. GoPala is fairly disappointing and really only worth the 13k, which it self-counters with other grade 3s, so there's incentive from within the clan itself to not use the new Ezel.
Definintely agreeing with Titania regarding Aqua Force. They're the Shadow Paladins of the season, Navalgazer's play style is very lacking compared to Maelstrom now that Glory is on his way, and...well, we better hope Leon sticks around for season 3. And doesn't get converted to Gold Paladin Golden Force. (Otherwise, the Shadow Paladins formally invite all AquaBros to a sleepover in the interdimensional seal)
