Accel and Meteor are maybe my two least-favorite Phase 2 Riders (I don't even dislike them, I'm largely indifferent to them), and I wonder if anyone out there just, like, adores them. I guess I was trolling, a bit, to see if someone would want to argue on behalf of Ryu Terui. Somebody's probably got feelings about that guy! (I will say this: dude says the best Henshin of the entire franchise, maybe.) (To clarify, the way he says Henshin is my favorite. "Hen... ... ... ... SHIN!" It's like he's forcing it out of his body. He's going to give himself a hernia saying Henshin someday!)

As to Wizard, what kills me is that I think it gets better by the end. The last string of episodes have some smart plotting and difficult emotions. It's a lot of the first two thirds that I find criminally dull.

How Dare You Accel Is My Spirit Animal.There, I said it.

Jokes aside Accel was at first a total Hojo for me but then as the story progressed and he grew as a person within the narrative he began to cement his position as one of my favorite riders. What really sealed the deal for me was that certain "I got you bro, let's burn this mofo down" moment he had with Shotaro in the W summer movie IIRC. Plus he pretty much becomes Kenshiro from Fist Of The North Star but with his feet after he goes Trial and THAT IS COOL.
