It was interesting, like he wasn't mindless or complacent with his prophecies.

Also, he wasn't actually meant to be Raia. His boyfriend was killed by a mirror monster before he could use the deck.

Ryuki isn't really confusing, but none of the movies are in-canon and are based on nothing in particular. Not the show or other movies.

It's basically the same suits and characters with a different plot each movie.

It's more complex, but that doesn't really mean it's "good."

Ryuki had a habit of doing too much.

Wow Raia sounds very different to Sting, and it sounds like a very different kind of story with prophets and time loops. Sting was a guy who let his family down (well he didn't really, but he felt he did and that was the most important thing), as he couldn't become a marine due to asthma. Xaviax uses Chris' desire to please his father to rope him into the War, but his asthma still basically cripples him in fights which is exactly why the Doctor didn't let him become a marine in the first place.

Honestly I'm not getting any more convinced by Ryuki, but it is just fun to find out just how different the shows are despite using the same footage. All this crazy stuff is going on in Ryuki while Dragon Knight seems to be much more down to Earth.
