The dancing has been brought up so much I don't think I can add anything to what others have already said.

However my own worst part has to be the Energy Riders.
Mainly because of that blasted Sonic Arrow, until then we had all these unique Riders show up and have unique weapons with different powers and the fun of it was seeing what the next one would have. But no, let's have all four riders use the same weapon and better yet, let's give the main character one too for the heck of it.

They could have done really creative weapons for the energy riders but instead we got five riders all using the exact same weapon.

How constructive.


- I wish Riders would switch to other arms now. When's the last time we've seen Pine, Ichigo, Kiwi, Mango or Suika arms? On top of that we have at least 7 riders who have never changed arms AT ALL and Kouta only ever uses Jinba and Kachidoki anymore.

- The dancing parts. Easily the weakest part of the show.

- By extension, Mai. She's the only one who cares about it anymore. Well Zack as well but at least he's a Rider.

- Severe lack of Bravo, Gridon and Knuckle.

By now people have mentioned the Nerf Rebelle AKA the Sonic Arrow and how overplayed and bland it is. With five Riders using it with a sixth on his way next episode it's not going to be fondly remembered.

Mai needs to grow up, but that's doubtful as she seems to be to be the one who loves dance above all else. Kota bro; you gotta man up and rise up to become the hero this show needs! Ryugen might not live past the early 30s if his shady tude keeps going the way it is.

On that note while the dark theme is refreshing there's a slight danger that the darkness could overpower all other aspects of the show, leaving it to become a endless struggle. A slight push more towards comedy will help out in the long run.

About as constructive as saying how constructive something is.

That is the fuel which makes the fire of hate burn.

Agreed one hundred percent.

I actually think his character arc is fascinating, but it's also hard to care as well due to the fact he's probably the weakest Rider in the show. Unless it's deliberate irony... But even then it isn't particularly well handled.

Also glad to see in terms of the wider thread, that I'm not the only one who despises the energy Riders.

Well there is Gridon.....which is pretty fucking sad once you think about it. About the only person Kaito isn't weaker than is fucking Gridon.

And maybe this is just me, but I don't mind the Energy Riders sameness, maybe cause it makes sense if you view it as them trying to be some organized force persay, maybe being the keyword.

Oh yeah, Gridon and Hase absolutely kicked his ass I just remembered that. Kaito God damn you SUCK.

I guess the Energy Riders make sense in context but it doesn't make them any more entertaining to watch.

Though I agree Kaito wanting power is ironic since the other riders are much powerful or skilled now, but Hase and Acorn caught him off guard at the time. So you can't really blame Kaito for a surprise attack plus add in the factor that it was 2 against one.

Kaito has always been a joke to me. Motherfucker you're talking about strength and weakness and you dance in teh streets. He's even less mature than Mai. At least she admits she just does it for fun.

Dude continues to get his ass kicked by everyone, and pretends he's such a great judge of weak and strong. He's a loser.
