He gets better at fighting as he goes along and gains slightly more control over his powers (until they get way too strong for him that he's creating MASSIVE explosions when he kills Grongi and has to fight them in unpopulated areas just so he doesn't accidentally kill anyone), which to me is more fun to watch than the "Guy who gets Rider powers and is immediately awesome".

Kuuga is my favourite Rider show (for reasons stated here: http://www.tokunation.com/showpost.p...postcount=4792), so I'm glad you're watching it and I hope you enjoy it more than some people.

I think the way they handled this got worse as the series progressed.

I really liked how they had a side character who could slowly decode Kuuga and feed it to the audience, plus Sakurako was gorgeous heh...heh...heh, but Godai was such a flat character with practically no character arc throughout the entire series.

I felt like I was getting more insight into Kuuga from the side characters than I was from Godai, this would have been fine if Godai was put in a position of experience but he was learning his abilities at the same pace as the audience (well minus the messy timeskips at the end) and yet he responded so little to his powers, except when stories demanded it (like the first time he did the Nuke Rider Kick) it was almost as if a suit actor took over during the fights....

How can I get excited for new forms and new powers and what have you if the main Rider seems so uninterested in it all himself?
