Btw does this work as our combat armor?
Something like that yeah, Ironically enough, I realize now that I've given her a blue colour theming while giving you all red, yet she is very clearly the Red Oni in this Red Oni Blue Oni relationship.
-[?] Use Tolerance Points as need be to render the Come Back Attack completely useless, coming out of the exchange unscathed.
Yes you would need to spend Tolerance points to do this. At this point, you've established yourself as more about dodging and using magic defences. Tanking something to the face will make the audience wonder why you didn't just no sell her previous less powerful attacks the same way.
I'm thinking we go bishonin then take some minor steps to distinguish between off and on duty looks. off duty we wear a pair of masculine glasses and wear our hair in a loose low ponytail while on duty we ditch the glasses and use hair clips or something.
if we're lucky the heroine and maybe the audience thinks we're another magical girl until some dramatic reveals that the cute smart boy is actually the Rival.
I'll have some appearance votes at some point soon, but I think bishounen will definitely be an option in light of all of this discourse. I admit, I had originally been thinking that your gender was already out, given the relatively masculine 'armour and cape' image plus the voice (which I usually think of as a dead giveaway in most situations) but... Since a few people seem to want it, I think I'll add an extra vote to this one.

Alright so, while there seem to be some combat ideas, between everything that's been being discussed, people don't really seem to have thrown down very many actually votes yet. Not to mention there are only three actual vote for theme songs.
You are correct in guessing that something faster paced does work better since this is for a comeback, but remember, a theme song can be cut in at any point in the song, so a slow opening is fine since it allows versatility in how/when it is used.
Long story short, I'm going to leave this vote open for a while longer and try to answer questions in the mean time.
Oh, and have an updated version of the theme vote listing all the suggestions so far! (I'm putting some stars next to the ones I particularly like personally but don't read too much into it. Also, I'll probably include most of these for when you guys get to vote on your own theme as well, so don't feel too bummed if you have two or three that you really like and can't choose between them.)
Actually just call it an updated general vote, listing everything that's been talked about.
