I'll weigh in on the various Ryuki endings a bit here.

So, Ryuki is one of the best Rider shows with not one, but FOUR "meh" endings. For all the great character work, the actual plot like many of have already stated can be a bit sloppy. Maybe it's just my head-canon, but because the Rider Battle has occurred multiple times (With Ouja winning at least a few times if that SIC story is canon), I can see the Series, Movie, and both endings to the 13 Riders Special technically all being canon. Though the show I guess does the best job of wrapping things up, but I find all the endings pretty unsatisfying.

Having said that, Ryuki is still one of my favorite Rider series, and what occurred in 49 episodes wasn't ruined for me by what happened in the last 3rd of the 50th.

Also just want to say thank you to Die and everyone for all the great thoughts expressed/shared on this thread. It's been a real joy to read all of your opinions on Ryuki.

Here's hoping there are some Faiz fans who show up in the next one.
