I guess it's needed for the story to progress. The succession war can't begin until he resigns. Also, I really really want to find out later on that he has a secret heir and for that person to be brought in as a wildcard in the competition for the throne.
But i think its too early for DB too resign.. first he should test both of them for few yrs then decide who is better to become CEO nd then resign
He is stoll there nd they behave as if he is not here.. after he resigns they wont even listen to him
