Still as hipster douchebag as it was when I first started arguing with that jerk.

Hey, I already asked that exact question like 30 pages ago! :lol

Which means I can just recycle my opinion:

Basically, I think that post is giving the crappy writing in Gaim's ending WAY too much credit. It basically ignores huge parts of what Gaim was actually about to arrive at a conclusion that, while sounding convincing enough on its own merits, doesn't really gel with the series as a whole.

It's been a while since I've seen Gaim, but doesn't DJ Sagara state that the reason Helheim kept invading other worlds is because the last "winners" let Helheim take over, whereas Kouta took Helheim somewhere else and built a new world without destroying the old world (unlike what Kaito wanted to do).

And wasn't Kouta's whole thing about "breaking down the rules that require sacrifices" regarding the need for the death of innocents in order to save the world? Kaito wasn't innocent; he was willing to commit literal genocide to build his ideal world. And sure, Kouta understands by the end that Kaito's intentions came from a good place, but at the end of the day, he was still going to kill a bunch of people. I wouldn't say that killing Kaito is a "sacrifice" any more than killing Redyue was a sacrifice (granted, Redyue was just pure evil), since Kaito is the direct cause of the current conflict.

I'm sick of rival riders in the series. I'm getting sick of the secondary rider being some type of badass anti hero and that is a rival to the main rider then becomes good over time. With Baron, I like that he became the final villain which was nice for a change. Most of the secondary riders are the typical Shonen rival character (Vegeta, Sasuke, Gary, Kaiba and a few others).

I have to admit, the aversion of that is something I rather like about Wizard. Kosuke was just a swell guy from the start. It's also something I "like" about Kusaka, but in the complete opposite way.

Kosuke was Beast right? The only time they fought was because he didn't know that Haruto doesn't need to feed his Contract Mon-errr, dragon
I should watch Ryuki again, especially with Kamen Rider Chronicle

I feel I should sit down and watch Ryuki.

Yes you should Raia. ;)

Should I watch Black? I feel like I should, but my eyes hurt whenever Black uses a finisher due to the flashing lights

Yes. YEs. YES.
And let me add a little Hell yeah on top.
The king stone flashing effect can get annoying but dont let that hinder you from enjoying a show that is like a damn fine good cup of coffee.
