Much like GuardianAngel87, I decided to do this through text 'cuz I also do not have good photo-editing software/skills, and I prefer typing anyways. Plus, I like giving my reasons for each. Also I have a lot of ties. Gonna combine the 'Best 4th Rider' and 'Favorite Extra Rider' together because quite frankly the idea of a 'Quaternary Rider' is silly, as trying to number them after the Tertiary Rider is pointless.
Favorite Series:
Tie b/n Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Gaim, and Kamen Rider Blade
-
I really love the unusual combinations the two former seasons have (video games and doctors for the former, fruit, dancing, and armor for the latter), and I love all of the characters in both seasons, as well as all of the forms, and Blade's another one of my absolute favorites, even with its slow start
Favorite MC/1st Rider:
Tie b/n Kouta Kazuraba/Gaim and Emu Hojo/Ex-Aid
- Kouta Kazuraba/Gaim:
I love how he's one of the most positive characters in Gaim, and how in spite of the things he's gone through in the story, that he not only remains the positive influence he is, but even strengthens his own resolve in spite of it; plus he's got some great forms too
- Emu Hojo/Ex-Aid:
Much like Kouta, he stays as one of the most positive characters in Ex-Aid even with the trials he goes through, and he's got some great forms as well
Favorite Heroine:
Poppy Pipopapo (
I love the goofy high energy she has as Poppy and how it contrasts with how serious she tries to be as Asuna; plus love her design as Kamen Rider Poppy
)
Favorite Opening:
ELEMENTS (
still hypes me up every time I listen to it
)
Favorite Villain:
Evolt/Kamen Rider Evol (
easily one of the funnest, most charismatic, and coolest villains in any season; love all of his Rider forms
)
Favorite Basic Form:
Tie b/n Gaim Orange Arms and Ex-Aid Action Gamer LV1/2
- Gaim Orange Arms:
really hard to beat how they managed to make the fruit aesthetic of the armor work, but it does and I love it
- Ex-Aid Action Gamer LV1/LV2:
I love the video game aesthetic, the pink, the anime hair, and the
fucking anime eyes
like wow
Favorite 2nd Rider:
Tie b/n Ryuga Banjo/Cross-Z, Keiwa Sakurai/Tycoon, Kaito Kumon/Baron, and Isamu Fuwa/Vulcan
- Ryuga Banjo/Cross-Z:
He's a very compelling character who goes through an impressive arc, plus Cross-Z has some of the best forms in Build
- Keiwa Sakurai/Tycoon:
As divisive as his arc currently is, I think it's pretty well done and built up over time, and Bujin Sword left a very strong impression
- Kaito Kumon/Baron:
Another compelling character with a strong arc and convictions, as well as a cool monster form with Lord Baron
- Isamu Fuwa/Vulcan:
A fun character, and he's got a cool final form as RampageVulcan
Favorite 3rd Rider:
Tie b/n Hajime Aikawa/Chalice, Neon Kurama/Na-Go, and Sakura Igarashi/Jeanne
- Hajime Aikawa/Chalice:
He's got such a great arc and plot despite being the third most important Rider in his season and yes this is partially to make fun of the Garren/Chalice debate, fight me
- Neon Kurama/Na-Go:
She's got a nice steady character arc, a fun Kamen Rider design, and hey, she's technically broken the trend of female Riders have one to two forms, so take THAT
- Sakura Igarashi/Jeanne:
I think she's got one of the most interesting designs with how her outfit resembles an open martial arts gi, and how it's one of the most unarmored designs I think I've ever seen
Favorite Extra Rider:
Tie b/n Ryo Ogami/Buster, Kiriya Kujo/Lazer, Desast/Desast, Hiromi Kadota/Demons, and Oren Pierre Alfonzo/Bravo
- Ryo Ogami/Buster:
Best dad, best Rider design from Saber, and has a BIG FUCKING SWORD, love big fucking swords
- Kiriya Kujo/Lazer:
Bike bro bike bro bike bro, oh and he's a fun character too
)
- Desast/Desast:
Has a fun dynamic with Ren, not to mention he's got a great KR form of his own now
- Hiromi Kadota/Demons:
The hero we needed
)
- Oren Pierre Alfonzo/Bravo:
Not only is he the most fabulous Rider, but he is also MISTER DANGEROUS and I love his child unfriendly design of
spikes everywhere
Favorite Evil/Dark Rider: Evolt/Kamen Rider Evol (
well I figure that I could just put him down here since again, one of my favorite villains ever
)
Favorite Movie:
Kamen Rider Build: Be the One (
I... actually don't think I have a favorite Kamen Rider movie. Like, at all. Huh.
)
Series I Love But Everyone Else Hates:
Kamen Rider Saber and Ghost (
Lemme tell you, it's far easier to see people online talking shit about these two when they're really not that bad
)
Series I Hate But Everyone Else Loves:
Kamen Rider Faiz and Kabuto - Kamen Rider Faiz:
It's Inoue at his worst and most Inoue-y, with all of the Inoue-isms that I hate, and while I can't say I actually hate the season, it is definitely not my favorite by a long shot
- Kamen Rider Kabuto:
I just thought it was kind of boring? Not the worst season I've watched, but I didn't really fall in love with it like everyone else
The Worst MC:
Souji Tendou/Kabuto (
He's not terrible or anything, and I don't hate him, but I don't like him, either
)
Character I Hate:
Michinaga Azuma/Buffa (
It's less so him that I hate 'cuz I like the character, it's more that I hate how people kind of underplay the things he does and it gets on my nerves
)
Best Super Form:
: Tie b/n Gaim Kachidoki Arms, Ghost Grateful Damashii, Brave Fantasy Gamer LV50, Saber Primitive (Elemental) Dragon, and Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer LV99
- Gaim Kachidoki Arms:
I love the heavily armored samurai look, and the DJ Gun is one of the best ideas for a weapon in a season based around fruit and dancing
- Ghost Grateful Damashii:
I love heavily armored forms, as well as forms that combine powers together; I like that the armor plates here are of all the faces of the other Damashii forms, and how the helmet manages to combine aspects of all of the other forms as well
- Brave Fantasy Gamer LV50:
I love how the maroon and dark blue of the armor contrasts with the white and sky blue of Brave's undersuit and normal armor
- Saber Primitive (Elemental) Dragon:
The skeleton motif is great, love the giant hand grabbing the WRB, and the visor is great; I love Primitive Elemental Dragon for the same reasons, but this time he's on fire
- Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer LV99:
LARGE AND IN C H A R G E until he launches himself out of the armor to become basically Action Gamer LV2, but a cool concept and design nevertheless
Best Final Form:
Tie b/n Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer, Gaim Kiwami Arms, Cross-Z Magma, Xross Saber, Blade King, Geats IX, and Tycoon Bujin Sword
- Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer:
The change from anime hair to dreads is a fantastic idea, and the star armor is incredible too
- Gaim Kiwami Arms:
I like the change from dark blue to silver, the fruit bowl chest armor, the cape, and the helmet being the most shogun-like there is
- Cross-Z Magma:
One of my favorite things is how it looks like his vest/shoulder armor opens up and becomes his new wings, and how he changes from primarily black/dark blue to black/orange
- Xross Saber:
I really love how the change to his color palette leaves a strong visual impact, and how it can further change forms
- Blade King:
Absolutely regal, amazing use of armor and how it has reliefs of the Rouze Cards, and big sword, love it
- Geats IX:
A great example of balancing complexity and simplicity, having a distinct appearance from Geats MagnumBoost, while not being too detailed (since a lot of people have complained about 'overly complex' final forms before)
- Tycoon Bujin Sword:
Easily the best example of how repainted and retooled parts don't necessarily mean a form is bad, and I love how he just uses a regular sword as the final form weapon, no need for gimmicks
