Lango is too aloof, Nyelv was too shifty, Jeebh and Shita could have been great but they kinda turned out to be generic villains, Lizel was too unlikable while Bocca came too late.

For me, the gold standard for Rider villain is Kumon Kaito from Kamen Rider Gaim.

Apples... no wait, bananas and oranges. I don’t even see Kaito as a villain, he's a main character. It’s just that conflict is a central theme of Gaim so what better way to have it end then in conflict.

As far as villains go, I think Gavv fairs rather well. The Stomach Family, Suga, Bocca - it may not be perfect, but much like Gavv as a whole it easily outshines everything Reiwa had to offer so far for me.

Especially Jeebh and Shita were very well written, and the other villains all bring something interesting to the table too.
