First time I've ever watched a Rider series from start to finish while it was airing, and I mostly liked it. The same goes for this ending too, it was mostly nice but I do have a couple issues with it.

I love that the final conflict was resolved by both parties putting down their weapons and stopping the fight. And all the Riders' endings suit them, I think. Like, I never even considered Naki joining AIMS, but even that fits with their character.

As for the negatives...

Jin's resurrection didn't really do much in regards to stopping the fight. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think Horobi even knew he was back.

And Izu's resurrection was... just kinda creepy. Like, Aruto builds this whole new HumaGear for the sole purpose of molding her into a carbon copy of his dead best friend. I guess I'm glad she'll be back to appear in any crossovers that come up, but to be honest, I would've rather had some cheap out-of-nowhere resurrection of the original Izu.

The cliffhanger with Kamen Rider Eden, undoubtedly to be resolved in a movie, was something I didn't like at all. There's gotta be some other, better way they could've used that minute of screentime.

Lastly... It's just always been weird to think of Jin as Horobi's son.

But those are just minor things in the end, and I still see this as a good finale for a good series. I've got no doubt that I'll look back on this as one of my top five Kamen Rider series.
