Yeah, I don't think even an unleashed Zanvat sword is going to hold a candle to Ultimate form. There's so much energy there that it would probably burn up Wataru's body before it significantly weakens Yusuke.

I think the thing is that people who haven't seen Kuuga assume that Ultimate form works like any other Rider's final form. It doesn't, though. Kuuga's Rising forms are on par with some other Riders' final forms and few other Riders can match Amazing Mighty in power. Ultimate form was designed to be a power so horrible that it could destroy the world if Yusuke couldn't control it. Kuuga is almost ludicrously overpowered. That's just the way the show made him (it's probably one of the main reasons why Decade's Kuuga was made the rookie; he'd have easily overpowered any of the other Riders if he was written like the original version).

Basically, if you think of it in DBZ terms, if an ordinary Rider's final form is like going Super Saiyan, Ultimate Kuuga is like SS3 (minus the stupid hair).
