However, the main point why I felt quite disappointed in Gaim, particularly in the climax battle was because of Kaito. Really, I mean he essentially got a huge development to get a bit softer through each arc of the series, especially because of Mai. But, the the show ended up making him became the final Big Bad there.

I know that the Urobuchi might plan Kaito to become the final villain. But, they kinda too forced him to actually become a villain in the last minute and it didn't feel quite nice. After all, this element actually made almost all of Kaito's development to become null at all. I also didn't expect Kaito to be dead and even Mitchy to be alive; I thought it would be reverse. As most of people think, I feel Kaito should deserve to win much better than Kota. At least, it would be nice to see Kaito grows up and changes into a much better person, but.... Well, the rest you know. Actually, Gaim gave a rather shocking climax battle to date and it sold Gaim even more. But, trust me, there are more people who hate Kaito to become the final Bad here.

Also, Sagara.... Well, he's a rather intriguing and interesting character compared to some villains that we got before or lately. Unlike most villains, Sagara is bad, yeah one of the bad that triggered the whole events, but he isn't that bad at all. Giving power ups to Kota but surely he isn't an ally to our hero. Basically, Sagara is a neutral character. You want to say he is a villain but basically what he said were logically right and true. You want to say he is an ally but he gave more trouble than helping. You can't never say Sagara is right or wrong and he just did what he must do, that's all. Basically, Sagara is Kyubey going Kamen Rider here and as that type of character, he is only there to kick start the whole story.

'how much does Kaito really buy into his own Social Darwinist philosophy? He talks a good talk, but his actions tend to be suspiciously altruistic whenever things get serious. It doesn't help that he's similar to Kyoko Sakura, another Urobuchi-written character with a selfish philosophy that she doesn't actually seem to follow.
Is Kaito becoming a villainous Overlord simply because of his drive for more power with the Overlords gone or was it a move of despair and rage from Ryoma killing Mai and causing Kouta's death via Mitsuzane? Consider that he didn't do this until after he learns that Kouta too is dead, angering him so much he takes the chance to becoming an Overlord. The answer is that his intentions were indeed altruistic, that the world he wanted to make was one where the weak were never suppressed, above all else. Kouta himself notes that they both want the same thing, but the problem was Kaito went about it the way of the cynic that he was, amassing power and forcibly remaking the world to achieve such ends'
