She wasn't a fighter - she was just a referee.

The lack of Yusuke and N-Daguva-Zeba's first fight is a legit complaint, though. I don't think anybody saw episode 47 and didn't think "wait, did I miss an episode?" I get that it was probably some kind of budget constraint issue, but it still sucked. I don't think it takes away from Kuuga's overall awesomeness, though.

I think the biggest problem for the final fight is that we know next to nothing about this guy. He just randomly showed up, had absolutely no development, but we are supposed to believe he is the ultimate Grongi. Were the writers of the Final Fantasy games on the final episodes staff?

As for W, the reason I love it so much is because of the Sonozaki family. They are some of the best developed villains I have seen in any Kamen Rider series since probably Black. They were flawed because they were human. They were sympathetic, because they were human. They were terrifying, because they were human.
