Well...I find it bitter sweet to say that I've gotten to the end of Kamen Rider OOO. I don't know what it is about the Japanese shows that make me feel such true emotions when they come to a close, but it's happened again. I slogged through Mystic Force without a care that it was over, due to it's few redeeming qualities, though, to be fair, I was harsh on it due to my love and respect for Magiranger.
But yeah...Magiranger, I didn't want it to end because of how much fun I was having with it and how much I loved it. Gokaiger left me feeling happy for the cast and wanting more...and now, here we are with OOO.
Despite being the villains, there are four characters I found myself feeling genuine sorrow for
when they had died. Mezul, but only a bit, considering how she rejected Gamel before death due to how she thought of him as "not enough" for her. Gamel, of course, because even after such a harsh rejection from her, all he's done since we've met him is love and protect Mezul. What really got me was that last treat he left for Mezul's coin...I'm gonna miss those two. It was one thing when they died as a couple, but it really tugged at my heartstrings when Gamel was left behind without Mezul, even for a brief time.
Cazali's death at the hands of Maki had me briefly feeling sorry for the guy, but not to the same extent as Mezul and Gamel. And especially not Ankh. Ankh is the one that sticks with me the most out of all of them. He knows he's going to die and yet lends his medal to Eiji, knowing that this will mean the end for him. That's another bonus from all of this. I really appreciate how it wasn't Ratortah that was used to save the world, it wasn't even TaToBa or PuToTyra. It was my personal and now cemented favorite combo, TaJaDor that was used to put an end to Maki's plans and save the world.
Letting Eiji use TaJaDor one last time really shows how far Ankh came before his death. In the beginning, all he cared about were getting cell medals and his own personal medals back, not about humanity, and barely even about Eiji or his human host. But now, he's here, sacrificing himself by using his damaged medal to save humanity.
I could go on longer about this, but I fear that I might bore people with my rambling. I had one hell of a run with OOO...I definitely made the right call in starting with OOO for my first Kamen Rider season. I hate to see it end, but now I can look forward to new beginnings with Kamen Rider W. I'll probably post about Episode 1 sometime in the afternoon.
Minus Uva, whose character arc came to its most logical and satisfying conclusion, I thought the handling of the Greeed was terrible. Despite a larger cast of villains, and greater focus on them, they actually did very little in the series and had an in story device to vanish for whole arcs at a time. So for them to just line up at the end just to be knocked down, it was really quite pathetic in my opinion.
