The part I liked most is probably the big fight with Team Build against Evolt in eposode 44. I still think it's ridiculous that he's strong enough to push around all four of them, but the moment where they work together to finish (well, 'finish') him off was spectacular.
The big Dragonball Z fight against the pink alien in 45 was utterly ridiculous to the point of absurdity, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't kinda like it to for that. In the span of a minute, he devastates the city, throwing the riders through buildings and eats an entire alien planet. Then the heroes jump through flames and kick the panel out of him. It's so stupid but also amazing in some way?
Neither of those things are enough to make up for the arc. I honestly like to just pretend 40 to 45 never happened as best as I can, and just mentally fill in any holes from that in some other way.
I mean, endings are hard, you know? I feel like you could make a list of the ways every good Kamen Rider series screwed up the pacing somewhere in its final run. I love Fourze, but that show suddenly realized it was a few Zodiarts short of a Horoscope, so they started showing up
real
fast.
Too
fast. What used to be a multi-episode story was now, like, "Here's three more Zodiarts, they were in the library, we just missed them until now." That's why I think I'll still be holding OOO as the best series after I finish Build. They never screwed up their pacing! That's
insanely
hard to do as you try and land a year-long series.

When you look at it's design, you might think it would have the power of all 60 bottles and maybe it'd combine them into new powers but uh, no. All it does is move fast and fight better. RabbitRabbit already had the schtick of moving fast, and it had stretchy limbs! Also doesn't help that it constsntly loses against Black Hole Evol so badly even though it was made to go up against Evol to begin with.
Yeah, Build Genius. Cool suit, the powers are...
ill-defined
, to be generous. It's like someone took that Arthur C. Clarke quote and went, "Oh, so if I get enough science together it makes magic? Magic powers, that's what big science is? Got it!"
