I suppose Episode 31 where he saved Poppy from Parad was supposed to be that character defining moment where he shows that he does have good qualities and thus complete his transformation as a good guy but that was the only episode at the time that showed these hidden qualities of his. Beforehand, he was just emphasized as a crazy, arrogant, petty asshole.

But the thing is....Kuroto's still not really a "good" guy. Sure, he's an ally to our main cast, but he's still just as egomaniacal and crazy as he was before; the other Riders were just able to appeal to his personality to gain his allegiance. His reasons for joining up with Emu and gang are still inherently selfish ("Kamen Rider Chronicle and Poppy are my creations, and nobody messes with them" or "I want payback against the guy that beat me"). Hell, just last episode, he was willing to let Hiiro's dad die just to hide information from Pallad and Graphite about Gemdeus.

He's by no means a noble character (yet).
