I was excited by the prospect of Ryuki getting a second outing with the mini series, but honestly, that was pretty bad. Like, only Ohja really felt like he was written normally, which isn't surprising considering a character like Ohja is literally all Inuoe knows how to write.

The explanation for it tying into Zi-O and Another Ryuki is so flimsy it's borderline nonexistent, Odin is a waste of a character again, everyone was so weak they tended to die to one or two attacks (I know they only had 3 episodes to work with, but at that point, why not just have only a handful return?) and they completely ruined Ryuki's dynamic by changing Raia's personality and not having Kitaoka be Zolda (I know he probably died of his disease, but still)

Like, at this point, why even make a Ryuki special?

Anyway, further into Zi-O, Blade's bittersweet ending got changed into a happy ending. I'm on the fence because on the one hand, Kenzaki deserved it, on the other, it made no sense because Hajime isn't a human turned Joker, but a born Joker that disguises as a human.
Whatever, Zi-O regards it's own continuity with contempt, so I guess another shows' continuity is low on the priority list.
