Most people would prefer Godai, and/or Godai is the first they've seen of Kuuga and thus he is the most popular.

For me, Onodera was my Kuuga. I got to watch Kuuga proper later after this, but for the most part, everytime I saw Kuuga, I always associate him with Onodera.

He's very much undermined and plays Decade's second but I still like him still. And I wish they would have just Ryouta Murai for Kuuga's future appearances if they couldn't get Odagiri anyway.

Edit: Whereas Odagiri is the Kuuga that trains for his powers, I like the neat idea of a Kuuga who got rushed and had to try and get around that
