Their list of achievements reads really similarly (responsible for most of the plot, killing a fan-favorite Rider), but Banno managed it all in half the episode count.

EDIT: Oh, and also I think his very personal dynamic with Mach is something Genm didn't really have that added a lot. Sure, framing your dad is pretty nasty, but telling your own son "a family is just another group of subordinates for me to rule"? That is BEYOND cold.

Banno is crazy purely because HE'S AN EVIL BELT. Seriously, it's about as good as Shockers Evil Underpants. He is so wrong in personality he literally gave up his body and became a belt. And wants to kill his kids. That's crazy.

Actually, my personal "you ain't right in the head" villain will always be Ryouma with Sid as a close second, but Kuroto definitely has this years award.
