I had been hoping for Nyelv to have some interesting level of plot-involvement (and maybe his own unique Rider form) since the beginning. Early previews showed him analyzing the Gochizo's before the show began.

That being said, he was one of my favorite characters from the show. More than just "the Brainiac of the group" He had a really interesting character arc, and if he had to die, I was imagining him becoming Bitter Gavv Marble Breacookie or Bake since he had been using that for the basis of his research.

But nope. Instead he seems like he finally got his "I had this planned all along" moment to stop/defeat/hurt Bocca, but instead gets killed by his own bomb. Literally one of the most un-graceful deaths for a major character in Rider, like ever. Even had the audible "Oh" and everything.


Like I would have been fine if Nyelv had been the consistent comic relief in the show, and the one time he could shine he messes up, but no, he was built up as this really interesting and actually important member of the family and then just got offed in one of the final episodes in such a goofy yet unfunny manner.

Gavv is still higher up on my list of Reiwa Rider shows but this episode kinda took the wind out of my sails.
