Your halfway-almost-to-the-end Kamen Rider Gaim Favorite Armored Rider Poll
 

We did this when the show was in the early teens, and you can see the now lol-worthy results here.

But now that time has passed, who is your favorite? Vote with power, vote vote vote vote vote!

NOTE: The following were left out.

- Bajin Gaim (honestly no room ... just vote Gaim)
- Malus (movie isn't out yet)
- Kamuro (movie isn't out yet)
- Kurokage Shin (movie isn't out yet)
- Fifteen (movie hasn't been subbed yet)

Has to be Bravo. Oren was one of the great characters of this season, and Metal Yoshida was a huge reason why. I love him to death.

To be pedantic, Bujin Gaim is a totally different character. Feel free to ignore my pedantry, though. I try to keep it under control. :lol

I actually voted for Knuckle, surprisingly. While there are characters with more depth and more (much more) screen time, he's a guy that resonates. He saw what being an Armored Rider cost the others, but when the opportunity presented itself he still stepped up to defend people and lead Team Baron. Despite being arguably the most minor Rider on the show, he's just an unambiguously good guy who is doesn't forget his friends and is always willing to step in when things get rough. A simple but satisfying character, at least from where I'm sitting.

This is very true.

In a show with characters that are flawed...

Kouta = too blind, too heroic, too concerned, too "IT IS MY BURDEN!"
Kaito = too much ego, too power hungry and power driven, too much weak vs strong
Micchy = too much of a bitch
Takatora = not even a Rider at the moment
Ryouma = too scheming/evil
Sid = Kaito but without the intelligence or sense of honor
Marika = too loyal
Oren = too blind
Jonouchi = too weak
Hase = too dead

Zack ends up being the perfect, well-balanced character. He's not too strong (in fact, he's borderline weak), but he knows what evil is and fights against it. He's there for his friends, he's always ready to jump in and protect, he doesn't let an ego or a sense of honor stop him from doing what's right vs what's wrong...

Holy shit. Zack is the main hero of the show!

... Ryugen. >_<

This cracked me up for some reason far out of proportion with the comment itself. Thank you, good sir, I needed that laugh today! :D

Im tied between Zangetsu and Marika. >.<

That hurts. You should feel ashamed of yourself.

Go to your room and think about what you've said.

Bravo

Kouta. He's a good hero and knows how to save people. Plus, in a world filled with Riders that range from looney (Ryoma, Yoko, Takatora) to fucking insane (Micchy), I need a heroic constant.

I honestly can't decide anymore. Bravo was definitely my favorite in the last poll. He still is a favorite of mine as well. But I'm torn.

Bravo Vs. Zangetsu Vs. Kouta

I really don't know how to pick right now.

I'm torn.

I love regular Zangetsu. He's one of my favorites - kind of sad that they apparently used his suit to create Malus, which would eliminate the possibility of Zangetsu returning (I hope that's just a rumor). But not enough screen time.

Gaim is such a likable character. I cheer for him all the time.

Bravo is just lol every time he's on screen. And his turn from villain to hero is kind of awesome. I JUST DON'T KNOW.

Ryugen. I may not like the character of Micchy himself (Koo-Koo for Cocoa Puffs), but I do like Ryugen's design, based on chinese dragon-eske elements. Also, being a grape rider helps,since grapes are one of my favorite fruits. My top 5 favorite riders in this series are:
1. Ryugen
2. Zangetsu-Shin
3. Baron
4. Marika
5. Bravo
I think Kouta's okay-ish, Zangetsu has a cool design, Kurokage was only introduced to make foot soldiers for Yggdrasill, Gridon's weapon is lame, Duke & Sigurd suck, and Knuckle...sagouzo combo.

Gaim and Baron for me. If I ever was a rider I'd be as clueless and have a great sense of justice exactly like Kouta, not going to lie there.

Baron, even though I'll be as clueless and have a great sense of justice, I'll still have honorable sense and seeking more, and more power to protect the weak.

That's just me though...

I like Zangestu too but I'm to lazy to go in depth with him as well.

Too dead, or not dead enough? :eyebrow

I voted Marika. Any time a female Rider can last over half the series, kick ass, and rock dem legs I will always be a fan.

Plus, you know, the character looks to be on the brink of some major character development that will hopefully not leave her squished like a pancake.

Hard choice. Kouta is one of the best protagonists we've had since well...Haruto but I love the way Zangetsu was used before the Energy Rider crap and since we're talking about Rider and not character maybe I should vote for Zangetsu?

But then Bravo and Knuckle are just excess baggage, but in a sea of excess baggage Riders at least these guys are fun and I'd rather have Durian Arms than Melon Arms.

But then Ryouma is a fun Dr Insano like villain AND his suit looks cool as all hell. But I hate Energy Riders so...

Bravo's just awesome as hell haha!

Obviously my favorite is Knuckle followed by Takatora. Marika barely has a character so it's weird to see she has votes, but I understand that she is cute, and kickass. Though Bravo, Baron, Gaim and Gridon are some of my other favorites too.

Still the same answer for me - the wonder that is original Zangetsu. Takatora is by far my favourite.

Glad to know I'm not the only person in the world who still likes Ryugen. :lol

Shin Zangetsu... His suit looks badass and I love his character. Or, at least, the first one. Zangetsu II... he can go suck a lemon

Gaim. Kouta is my favorite character in the show so far and I just love all of Gaim's forms.

I also like Hase (even though he only appeared for a short time) and Yoko- Kaito was one of my favorites before, but the whole power-hunger thing was a tad too much for my taste. But he does seem to return to being the Kaito I liked before, so let's see where he'll be when the show is over.

Though overall, I like all of the Riders in some way.

For me it's Baron, his beliefs always remain the same but he's helped people on both sides (except for Micchy who he hates, which is an automatic point in his favor) which I find interesting.

Still sorta like Ryugen.

I'd say it's still probably Takatora. I really like how he's evolved as a character.

Suit wise though, it's still probably Ryugen. Though he may be dethroned soon by Mars.

Lol at how much Ryugen went down.

For me, I would tie between Zangetsu, Gaim and Baron but overall Gaim wins out. Kachidoki and Kiwami are too awesome.
