Ryukendo's mostly average and you can definitely tell there wasn't much budget. But for the first time making a Tokusatsu especially in direct competition with Kamen Rider? I'd say they succeeded.

I will also agree that as enjoyable as Futo's World Building is alongside us seeing characters who live there every now and again (mostly Futo PD and the as the wiki puts it, 'Irregulars'), Ryukendo definitely is a couple of paces ahead.

The show has such a massive supporting cast that we see consistently throughout the various episodes. Whether its minor roles or them getting the spotlight, a lot of characters end up returning quite often. It was legitimately crazy to see how lively a lot of the sets could be during the episodes due to just the presence of all these recurring characters.

And I think that's what makes the big destructive stakes of the final few episodes hit harder because we knew the stakes at hand.

Overall Ryukendo can encompass a broad spectrum of emotions, it can be funny, cool, epic, beautiful, and yet it all manages to somehow work together in a really nice way.
