Unfortunately, there are people who hate Kusaka, obviously because how he's a shit-stirrer.

Pretty much yes, Kusaka likes conflicts. He's an ultimate bully. He's a villain protagonist. Think of him the way people would see a villain (well, you're new one to the franchise, obviously others fully know about this). And this would be, conflicting here (but more conflicts yay!), but this is what I meant for the comment I said
here
about don't promote people being scummy and cruel to others and give them free pass in the name of building chemistry (more excuses for people being terrible then). Kusaka and Takumi having a total animosity towards each others, and you.... ship them here (nice ship name though, with the "k" on Takumi and the 2's names having initial K connecting well).
From the shipping, I feel that it can convince people that being cruel to others is just them building a tension relationship with you, giving them more free pass to commit vile acts ("he's only teasing you because he likes you" defense to bullies that happened in irl is a softer indication, of that)... bad message! By that, I would never ship arch enemies, like for Ex-Aid, as much as I like Kuroto and that I would like for him to never change his ways (he has no redeeming qualities or any plans to give himself one, but there's a way to lessen his threat in story like mutual goals so he wouldn't antagonize heroes), but god, I would like for the story not to build good relationship between Kuroto and others, I want everyone to keep genuinely hating/disliking him for what he's done, with exactly zero frenemy traits ("only behaving like worst enemy outside but deep down friends" type, like all the insults, threats, and potshots are all of genuine hatred. I also want for people to not have frenemy thoughts, like those who thinks Kuroto turned into new leaf). As much as I like the characters, I'm viscerally opposed against Kiriya/Kuroto pairing, I don't want them to warm up to each other and become bros, ever! And Ex-Aid actually did that so I appreciate (though there are people who thinks about frenemy vibes), like Emu never forgave him even with Kiriya being back.

It being centered on Mari, I've talked about it back in the very first episode, with the pushy dudes around her. This now just elevates more, if only because this revolves around the main cast instead of the unnamed like them. And this relationship drama is Inoue's sthick, a choice that diverges from the plot, and can be polarizing too, as with what Kurona said in Fish's Kuuga thread, some reason for people to hate romance is that it's forced in anything, in a story that doesn't demand it. So Takumi only fully respects Yuji, for now? To support Mari with him. And Kusaka's main character has just shown here, but what will he do to the cast wouldn't change, but that's his motivation, actually previously he also carried Mari's picture in his wallet, and sucking himself up to her, and threatening Kaido away from Mari (agreeing with Mari calling him her boyfriend too). He's a full on Yandere with him threatening Yuji at the end.
There's also Yuka and Yuji trying to hook up Mari with Kaido. Those 2 calling Mari up to discuss things like this... I guess they can be.. tactless sometimes
Though it's nice to see both 2 sticking up for their friend Kaido, that he's more than just what's seen outside. I guess Mari should've expected this with her finding Kaido in the place where Yuji live. At least they're also balanced to consider that Mari isn't ready to fall in love yet (on the outside, but this being centered on Mari like the pushy dudes before, she's not genuinely neutral to boys like that).

So Lucky Clovers are taking turn type of villains? So yeah it depends on which Lucky Clover character making the move then for the fun part. Who they'd pick? Is that because Lucky Clover is restricted to certain number of members that they can only pick one? If not both can be picked no problem. Kaixa teaming up with Yuji to take out the nuisances... that's pretty much the only reason why Kusaka's on the protagonist's side, he hates humans, but he hates Orphnochs more. There's a part where Takumi and Yuji are considering themselves to tell the other about the identity though...

I love the weirder ones, the funnier ones, the emotional ones. This one, it’s a solid bit of Kamen Rider. And it’s mostly thanks to Kusaka!
Though yeah, the weirder/funnier ones are those suitable for fillers like episode 20 back then. And it can be a break of the story, but unfortunately probably cannot be used all the time. And though you prefer it, weirder/funnier ways isn't the one objectively good for everyone (if Inoue hate is any indication), nothing is.
