I agree, with the caveat that Ryuki would absolutely be in the "good" endings were it not for the last twelve minutes of the last episode.

Move Gaim to okay and I'd agree. I'm blanking on Wizard's ending, honestly...

Gaim's ending was really good. Unless you're counting the Jaim episode. But why would you?

I'll admit, I'm warming up a little to Ryuki's ending on the whole. I'll also agree with some that it might have been better if the show had ended with Kanzaki, realizing he was a selfish idiot who literally got everyone killed in a dozen alternate timelines for no reason, suffering for his mistakes. But even then, I'm not sure I'd lob it in with the good ones. I'd give it a solid okay.

(On a side note, I can't remember the point of the Rider War in the first place. Why did Kanzaki believe killing 12 Riders with Odin as the champion before Yui's 20th birthday would prevent her disappearing?)

Yes, but what if they're spooky ghost kids?! :p

It's not that it's a fist fight per say, it's the fact that it devolves into the two as humans just beating each other to death, to the point where they can hardly stand. Also ties into the Grongi wanting the humans to embrace brutality, which Godai is forced to do, to a degree.. Idk, that's just how I see it. The snow doesn't help, especially when the video quality is already sub-par.

Iirc, it was so he could win and use his wish to save her, but I don't remember the specifics.

My list is largely the same, but I'm more forgiving of the early Heisei era. Also including the Showa shows I've seen all the way through.

Great endings: Stronger, Black, Blade
Good endings: W, OOO, Gaim
Okay endings: V3, X, Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki (with movies and time loop factored in), Den-O, Fourze, Wizard (would have been much better if Koyomi had been played by an available actress)
Bad endings: Amazon (Emperor Zero is one of the era's lamest villains), Hibiki, Kabuto, Decade
Worst ending ever: Faiz

Drive is shaping up to be at least "good" at the rate it's currently going.

As for the main series finale: Gremlin steals the Philosopher Stone after Fueki's plan fails and he bites the dust. Super Gremlin and Wizard have a decent brawl before the former beats the latter onto one knee. Haruto punches into Gremlin and grabs hold of the stone inside (while symbolism of reaching for Koyomi's hand cuts in) before pulling it out of him. It morphs into a ring, Wizard uses its power to Rider kick Gremlin into oblivion. Haruto rides off into the sunset to find a final resting place for Koyomi (more accurately, the Philosopher Stone that symbolizes her.)

The last two episodes barely matter. They're like a scrapped Rider Taisen feat. Decade script.

Even the Jam episode wasn't the worst ever. Unnecessary sure. Reliant on the existence of a ridiculous movie, yeah. But I personally thought it was great seeing Micchy and Kouta fight alongside each other one last time.

At the very least, for sure. Let's hope it doesn't fall flat on its face right at the very end.

Squee! Mind if I join you? :)

Hmm, speaking of Kiva, having just re-watched episode 5 there was something that bothered me a bit. Garulu form's specialty is supposedly speed, looking at its stats, but this episode's about the only time Kiva faced an obviously speedy enemy in the series and Garulu already gets outpaced in its second appearance. I love the design of Garulu form but it feels kindof redundant since its specialty is never fully utilized.

Don't worry about that. None of Kiva's forms matter.
