Least masculine? Well I think it makes him a more realistic protagonist. As for the second part, I think that's just sad.

I loved Kiva, time paradoxes and all. My only question is when did Otoya have time to procreate with Maya?

What does that even mean?

Please. Do tell what being masculine has to do with anything. This should be brilliant.

I think its a fan thing, I don't have a problem with it personally ( haven't seen Kiva yet) but I think that is sort of a "tie in" to Rider fans' arguement that he's whiny and doesn't do anything.

Know, what I meant is I still don't know what it means. I don't see how a character's masculinity improves or detracts.

Well, it's just a personal preference of mine but I generally prefer characters that have some glaring flaw to them. Either they're weak, socially awkward or something like that. When a character is overly masculine (Meaning they're the big hero who is absolutely 100% without flaw) It gets a little annoying. Unless of course it's only a front to cover up a weakness they have, like say how Shotaro flaunts around the hard-boiled attitude when he's only half-boiled.

I know I ask this all the time, but I never get a solid answer: is Ryuki's movie (episode final) worth checking out? Is it good? Does it have a better ending? Does it do anything worth seeing?

Wataru gets no love because he's just boring to watch. Simple as that. He's a dull character. We've had whimpy protagonists (Den-O), we've had protagonists who were unsure of their ability (Ryuki), we've had protagonists who was unsure if their resolve was enough to solve their problems (Blade).

Wataru is just boring.

And I'd say check out the Ryuki movies. They're not all that long, and you'll get to see the 3 remaining riders in action.
