Yes!! IKR?!

How can you tell if that character is SPOILER?!

Like most comic book movies especially Marvel often included a character that audience cannot talk about to person who haven't see the movie yet.

If they appear late into the show and affect the plot in a major way

From what I've seen, Wizard's just okay. Ghost is the one that people fight about

I think Ghost is okay. It has a decent plot, which makes progress (though slow) throughout the series. For Wizard, you could delete every episode except the first few and last few episodes and the series still makes sense. I do think that Wizard has one of the best special effects though. The magic effects are really pretty.

Yeah and they fight about it because some people like it and others don't. It's a love it or hate it situation. You don’t see people fighting over Wizard very often because the vast majority of the fandom thinks its bad.

Of course both shows are still worth checking out to see if you personally like them, but as far as the worst show goes I think you will hear about Wizard a lot. Maybe some will say Ghost since the wounds are still fresh but I still think Wizard is overall worse than Ghost.

But from the shows I've seen so far I recommend V3 and Black for Showa, Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki & Kabuto for pre-Decade and almost everything post-Decade. With the exception of Wizard and Ghost, I didn't really enjoy those.

Shows I haven't seen myself but people say it's good: Amazon and Stronger for Showa, Blade for pre- and Fourze for post-Decade.

But to be honest you can just watch whatever you want, I wouldn’t really base my selection of shows on what other people say. Just look at some images or videos from a show and if you like what you're seeing give it a go.

Again, the general impression I got from Wizard was that it's okay, not bad

Also I forgot Decade exists. THAT is the worst season. Period

That's its whole problem. It's in the perfect zone of mediocrity to be completely and utterly boring to most of the fandom, which is the worst thing a show can be. Totally forgettable. At least with Ghost the general consensus from people seems to be that it was at least trying.

As probably the single most staunch defender of both those shows around here, it's honestly a lot easier to argue why Ghost is good because it kind of gives me more to work with.

But if you're asking this because you want to know where to go when you finish Agito, my advice is the same as always. Whatever looks good to you probably will be.

I maintain there's no such thing as a truly bad Kamen Rider show. There are definitely some that I feel are pretty unarguably more solid than others, like Agito, for example, but they all have their qualities and they all have their fans. Even the show I consider to be the "worst" Heisei series, Kiva, is higher up on my list of favorites than shows I openly acknowledge have way more going for them.
