"Good dialogue"? Each to their own I suppose. Scenes like Kaito talking to Mai were boring, empty and pretentious in my books. Mai is so superfluous to the show that every scene she's in sends me to sleep, especially the love dodecahedron they are half hearted trying to shove into the show to give her character something to do.

And Kaito, bless him, has kinda become utterly pointless as well. He's completely detached from the core story, despite their best efforts to make him look like he's driving it and with only two Arms Change lock seeds - both of which SUCK - he's probably the most boring fighter in the show too. He reminds me a lot of Renji from Bleach, how as soon as he stopped being the rival for the hero he just spent the rest of the manga being kicked around the floor.

For such a large cast, there honestly is surprising amount of baggage of characters which were never really that important and are now almost completely forgotten. I mean remember how the Butcher said Gridon was the best Rider? I forgot he existed until the previews for next week.

Admittedly the new villains are well designed, but this shows action does nothing for me, so I got more out of the Green Overlord than I did the Red one.

It wasn't bad, just boring, but as the charts don't account for that I just voted for the lowest option on the poll.
