Nah, Wizard's just got a giant Gusher for a head and a high-five reaching for his crotch. :/

Fourze just straight up stopped for about the middle third of the series, leading to a really rushed final 10-12 episodes. Wizard feels much better in this regard.

It also helps that Wizard's costume isn't terrible and he doesn't have those lame switch weapons.

Blasphemy!

Watched the episodes with Nitou's Granny. And I really enjoyed them, to be honest. Strange seeing the Secondary Rider emote more than the Primary. And it gave him some excellent backstory. .. Gremlin and WereTiger could've kept Shun though. Cannot wait to see the next episode with Medusa. She's quickly become my favorite Phantom.

I'm gonna have a hard time unseeing that...

You're too easy to please if standing around doing nothing with their arms crossed is "Favorite" material...

I'm actually totally with you on this. I love silly and fun but Fourze didn't do it the right way for me to enjoy it. And the switch gimmick was far too truncated with too many useless and rarely useable switches.

Well, I think you're over exaggerating useless for "Specific."
Except for Hopping. That one was useless.

I love the gem helmets. I think they look amazing. And after the giant clusterfuck that was the Fourze driver, I think the simple and elegant Wizard driver is fantastic. Seriously, aside from Land Dragon's shade of yellow, there is nothing I dislike about Haruto's various costumes.

And as far as cosmic switches go, count up how many of them you actually see more than twice (not counting the movie's all switch fight scene). It's maybe fifteen out of the forty.

Perhaps. But that doesn't change things for me. Fourze had a gimmick that tried way too hard to sell toys and failed at being functional or making sense. It amde it hard to truly enjoy certain aspects of the show.

Yeah, I did not like Fourze's gimmick at all. But I don't like Wizard's either. I really don't like either Rider (but I don't hate them or anything) but arguing which is dumber looking seems like semantics in the grand scheme. I mean, Wizard is just so ridiculous looking and the driver is a hand. A hand. And all he does is just wave his hand in front of... the hand. It's so... anticlimactic. (to say nothing of it's awful standby noise. Fourze at least hand that awesome counting down)

Just watched the Scissors episodes of Ryuki. The character wasn't much to write home about - the costume was pretty cool but his contract monster was just a humanoid blob with claws. Really digging this Rider War stuff though.

Next episode - Zolda!

As I recall Scissors goes out like a bitch in all 3 versions of Ryuki continuity

He was definitely forgettable but being killed by your own partner monster is a great way to go out. You'll enjoy how things progress from here too, the war gets pretty awesome. And Zolda is second to Ouja as my favorite rider from Ryuki.
