Wait, it's underrated? I did not know that. I've always heard it mentioned in the company of Agito, W and Kuuga as being the best Rider shows.

I gotta get back to watching Blade.Never finished it,Kabuto,or Ryuki.Did finish Den-O,Kiva,Decade,W,OOO,and Fourze.Need to start Faiz too as well as Agito,Kuuga,and Hibiki.Then I'll have all Heisei Riders watched.

Ryuki's a show that's been kind of rediscovered in recent years. It was really divisive when it first aired, but eventually it built up a really good fanbase the further away it gets from being "that crazy-ass show that came out after Agito and was really weird and different."

Yeah, I figured it would've divided the fandom bit; especially with the Rider against Rider thing.

Yeah. It's really a show that only received the bulk of popularity recently. I remember back when I frequented HJU there was tons of Ryuki hate for it being "Really dark and mean spirited."
And the Rider Vs. Rider thing didn't really split opinions. It was more Ryuki was probably the first Rider to be the weak, inept, learner type character (While some Riders were also just learning their powers, they weren't as physically embarrassing as Ryuki was), and any other series would have us following Knight.

Agreed. You can really see him coming into his own after his first henshin.
And the Rider vs Rider thing, while not something that bothers me, I think it works in context, is kinda of weird thing for me after coming off W; where despite being initially hostile at first towards W, Accel and W really ended up becoming great allies. Though I keep hearing that the secondary Rider hating the first was a thing in the Heisei era before W changed it, so it's no biggie.

Pretty much every modern rider series has had the secondary rider begin as hostile towards the man rider. Then they come around. Especially in the last few years since Den-O with Zeronos. Ixa, Diend, Accel, Birth, Meteor, and now Beast have all followed that basic example.

And, going off W and what I've heard about Wizard, the show really picks up when the secondary rider shows up.
