Yeah, I really like how he spoke entirely in English for no reason.

Anyway...Faiz 48-50

Masato Kusaka isn't exactly a character you mourn...but his death is still a tragic one, nonetheless. I'd almost say I'll miss his inhuman douchery, but as I know form Kamen Rider Taisen he literally comes back from the dead to continue being a dick so lol.

His former classmates along with Keitaro and Takumi for some reason will mourn for him though. It makes sense that his classmates are saddened by his death honestly. They were literally the only people he was ever halfway decent to...in his own Kusaka way. I'm can't see why Takumi took his death THAT badly. I guess they had some antagonistic camraderie. I'm surprised Takumi actually told Mari and Keitaro about his death. He really has gron a lot form the beginning aha.

Too bad the other Ryusei students never got to see their dad one last time or find out what happened to him. Speaking of their dad...why didn't he just make Takumi president?! I mean...it wouldn't have solved EVERY problem but...it just made more sense. He's even seen Takumi in action before and he HAS to know he's an Orphenoch. I just...well, okay

Kaidou at least realized early on that something was up with Kiba's plan. He still may be a weird jerk (I mean did he even ask where Osada was?!), but his hearts in the right place. I like how he sorta became friends with everyone in the end. When Takumi refused to tell Kaidou that Teruo was the Orphnoch king, that's the one withholding of information I can sorrrta get since Kaidou felt sort of responsible for Teruo....but when Kiba told him Kaidou took the information fairly well, so it was pointless anyway.

Mihara....is very pointless. I'm glad Kiba got knocked back to his senses, but...did he have an more evil version of his horse form during his fight with Takumi or were my eyes deceiving me. His sacrifice...I mean I saw it coming, and I'm glad he died heroically, even if..it was kinda ultimately pointless.

The Orphnoch king...doesn't make much of any sense at all. But the final battle looked cool enough. Except for Mihara he didn't do much...And yet he doesn't seem to be dead only very badly hurt as Saeko promises to heal him...great. And Takuma became a wimpy construction worker...um, okay....he's such a weird character lol.

Also what the hell is Smart Lady anyway? An Orphnoch...right?

Takumi's final line about finding a dream is pretty good and there's the vague maybe death I've heard a lot about before. This scene honestly wouldn't have been that bad if...anything else about the ending made sense.

Speaking of the ending...isn't it just the Agito ending more or less. Main Rider kicks the main villain and a massive flash of light is shown and then it shows what the characters were all doing in the aftermath. Ah well.

I do really prefer the Paradise Lost version of events save for a few things, but yeah Faiz wasn't the perfect series. I guess given all the complaints I've heard about it, it couldn't be. That said, I enjoyed a lot of it and most of the problems it had for the first 40 or so episodes amused me anyway. And Takumi is probably one of my favorite Riders now, because despite whatever problems the series itself has, he did really grow as person and Rider and came a long way.

Next Rider thing I watch might be the Kamen Rider 4 special since I hear it's sort of an epilogue to Faiz anyway.

And the next Rider series I watch is probably gonna be me finishing up Hibiki....at least the first half. I may like Faiz but I'm not sure I want to watch Hibiki all Faiz'd up...
