Although I don't think the Greeed are sympathetic, they are certainly much more entertaining than the UI from Kuuga, like you said. And I also love Faiz for this! I think Ryuki and Faiz make a really great spiritual duology, as Ryuki is about what it means to be a Kamen Rider and Faiz is about what it means to be a monster. It's some really great stuff!
