When it comes to kaijin in KR, sometimes it feels like some of the KRs' kaijins kinda disappoint us later at the end.

ex.
- Sagittarius Zodiarts Supernova - Disappointing. True it got a rider kick. But the problem is that it should've unleashed a fiery bow & arrow and centaur-like legs to backup too.

- Gremlin Phantom - WHY should it be HIM? I mean Wiseman is the TRUE bad guy! Did Gremlin have to use the philosopher's stone to get upgraded? Why couldn't they add a new general after Gremlin instead?

- Bat Fangire - the first "King" was defeated by the two Kivas. Later on Bishop resurrected him in a berserk way. Worst.

I don't think any kaijin is more of a wasted opportunity than N-Daguva-Zeba. And I say this as someone who liked Kuuga's finale.

Sagittarius. He's the big bad in Fourze, and you want the entire season for him to reveal himself... And then he looks like that. After the Majesty of Aquarius, Leo, VIRGO, even Libra, we finally get to the big bad and it's just this huge letdown. I hated him.

But there's one worse. There's a worse offender and I hate to say because it's a dear friend's favorite show and he may never speak to me again..

But the absolute worst offender comes from Kamen Rider OOO. When Kazari starts working Dr. Maki we hear about how he wants to become the perfect Vessel for the Core Medals. How if done wrong he'll go beserk and destroy everything. Giving life itself the perfect ending Dr. Maki wants, in all his batshit crazy glory.

Okay, to save people from spoilers who haven't seen OOO yet, I'm going to spoiler tag the following rant.

But as the series goes on we start losing Greeed's. Mezool goes down, twice, Gamel goes down, twice, we lose Kazari and we know Ankh isn't going to be that perfect vessel. And that just leaves.. Uva. Poor Uva. Maki starts chucking Medals into him against his will he's about to go beserk and became the Vessel that will destroy humanity, and you think you're in for the best monster design in Kamen Rider history! And what you get is a freaking perfectly sided CG diamond being circled by flying Medals. Turning everything into Cell Medals, somehow. A giant-ass CG vacuum cleaner. ... It still kind of pisses me off.

It was a super cool design, but then all we got was an out of suit punching fest and that weird moment where a fight is skipped save for a shot of some blurry fire? Dafrack?

Actually while we are here, are there any production notes, or ANYTHING to explain why they did the Kuuga finale like that? It was so fucking weird. And just the icing on a giant shit cake.

The Kirigiri(?) Imagin. I just don't like they way they look.

That was in order to have Yusuke Godai figth, just as himself, a human with his bare fists, and not the almighty Kamen Rider Kuuga. Because he went so ridiculously powerful along the show to the extent it began to be a problem in the last part (killing the enemy without going nuclear in the middle of the city).

I'm more disappointed by the final episode by the way, Godai should have died. Showing him alive in last shot make the whole episode where his friends talk about him worthless. Or it can be interpreted as the last shot was not in South America but in the afterlife.

Yeah but he still fought him transformed but rather than the fight they filmed a burning bin? And then referenced the fight constantly despite never seeing it?
