Ouch.

I love the later series, Den-O, Kiva, Fourze, W, but they don't have the same danger to them like Kuuga, or Faiz. I think Kabuto is the latest series I've seen any of that still has civilian deaths. Oh, I guess Kiva did, but like maybe one an episode, at most.

I honestly think that is a big reason Kuuga keeps me around, even with all its awful special effects, that sense of threat. I'm not really a big fan of the whole 'gritty' scene but if the UL's intentions are to simply kill, then they've achieved more in these 15 episodes I have seen than all the the toku villains from any series I've ever watched combined.

It's so hard to go from Kuuga, where you damn well know the villains are a threat and they've damn well proven it, to so many other toku series where the villains just kinda stand around, sending out minions one at a time for the heroes to defeat after the villains cause some light property damage.

Eh episode 15 was another meh episode. I loved how we learnt more about Ichijou, he is the best character in this show and I wish he was the Rider but what was the point of that bike upgrade?

Isn't Kuuga's bike meant to be the shit anyway? Hell, it even has a button that changes the paint job to suit Kuuga...for reasons never explained.
