And they explain why, but it's a bit later (I think Odin's reveal comes with the explanation of why the Riders are fighting, but it could be before that).

See, that's the problem "later" is too late. The premise of your show shouldn't be explained near the end unless it's the big mystery everyone's working to solve, which the fighting isn't. It's trying to be resolved, but no one is really askign why is this happening. Now it's gonna seem like and afterthought. If they can't even explain why ONE rider would fight, I have little faith they can explain why they all are.

Ryuki got his card back, but that episode really hurt the show for me in how contrived and moronic it was. I still don't understand how taking the card works, since the card is part of his Advent deck. The deck and cards are one and change togther when a contract is formed. I say that shouldn't work, but since they never bothered to explain how the decks work... (again, why the hell does no rider series explain the powers?)

I dunno, I'll keep watching, but I'm no longer gung-ho for this series. Which sucks because Raia is really interesting, but he's practically a non-character. There's serious mismanaging of assets here. Gai, this stupid looking stupid character gets the spotlight over the only other non-combative rider. In fact, Raia and Ryuki have barely spoken to eachother, despite the fact that the two should be going nuts for finding another rider who wants to end the fighting.
