Finally finished marathoning the final 10 eps of Ryuki plus 13 Riders, Episode Final and Ryuki vs Agito. Wow I cannot say enough good things about this series. I love the huge cast of characters and other than Gai (whom I hate) and Scissors (who was in a couple of episodes only) I liked all the Riders. The main 4 of Ryuki, Knight, Zolda and Ouja were great, Raia was cool, I like how twisted Tiger was and I felt bad for Imperer. Verde would have been a great evil Rider had he been in the series, he wasn't as violent as Asakura or as crazy as Toujou but he's a good mastermind. Femme would have been great as a love interest for Shinji but her role in Episode Final was good enough for me.

It was quite interesting the fact that the title character bit it an episode before the finale, didn't see that one coming. Heck 3 Riders outlasted him by an episode. But it all doesn't matter since Kanzaki decided to just reset everything. So in the epilogue Yui died as a kid, Shinji continued to be a reporter, Ren probably is better off since Eri wouldn't be in a comatose since Kanzaki's experiment didn't happen.

While the other Riders would be:
Sudoh would still be a corrupt cop; probably would kill more people.
Kitaoka has terminal cancer so he only has a few months left.
Shibaura would still be a spoiled brat.
Tezuka would probably be ok since his friend didn't die.
Asakura would probably be in jail.
Toujou I don't know. I didn't think it was the Rider War that made him crazy. His probably still crazy.
Sano would be best served by the time reset since he's going to inherit his father's wealth and he meets a girl he likes.
Miho would probably still want revenge on Asakura for killing her sister.
Takamizawa is a rich businessman so he's probably fine.
Mirror Shinji wouldn't exist at all.
Same with Odin.

I guess its safe to say I loved Ryuki. So onto Faiz for me. I hope I get to enjoy it too as I have Kuuga, Agito and Ryuki.
