But then, not Beast was the major problem of the show, but rather Koyomi. Seriously, how stubborn can a headwriter be to keep a character as the lead if her actress doesn't have time for the role???

I guess this is going a bit to far off topic here though...

You could have made the final arc about Haruto's favourite pair of skinnies in place of Koyomi and had more emotional investment.

On 555/Faiz, instead of every character wielding the same belt, why not some of the main orphenochs become a rider.

Takumi - Faiz/Wolf Orphenoch

Kaido on the other hand, he should've become Kaixa after Kusaka's death. Keitaro would've been Delta instead of Mihara.

Though instead of Kiba being Orga, how about the Orphenoch King if they rewritten his existence. Kiba would've been Faiz's dark side like say... Sigma.

There would've been more greek alphabet riders. There is...
Phi - Faiz
Chi - Kaixa
Delta - Delta
Psi - Psyga
Omega - Orga

If some of the good & evil orphenochs became riders than just using their orphenoch forms, they would've been...
Yuka/Crane Orphenoch - Theta

Dragon Orphenoch - Mu
Centipede Orphenoch - Zeta
Lobster Orphenoch - Epsilon

I don't think there should always be a set number of Riders per show. What works for one will not work for others, and its good to break up the formula now and then.

And I don't think the number of Riders really makes much impact outside of Ryuki.

I feel it makes impact in Gaim.

Oh thank you SO MUCH for that spoiler, ass.

Okay, can people have some courtesy when dropping huge plot points about shows in these threads please? They may be older shows but there are still A LOT of people discovering them only now and its unfair to have them completely spoiled for them without warning.

What of more female riders?

I mean Femme, Larc, Kiva-La, Nadeshiko, Mayu & Marika. I mean C'MON!

Why not add more!? From...
- 555
- Kabuto
- Den-O
- Double
&
- OOO

Um... because those shows are over?

I'm personally a fan of more Riders, but I do agree with the sentiment that more Riders =/= better. But yes, if you're going to go the 1/2 Rider route, those two better have a shit ton of forms to make up for a lack of new toys.

But again, if you can make more Riders work then I'm all for it. My favorite series are Ryuki and Gaim and those shows both rely on the idea of multiple Riders running around. As long as it's not treated like Kabuto where Riders drop off of the face of the planet and/or into the realm of irrelevancy for no reason (*coughcough* anybody not named Kabuto or Gatack *coughcough*) then I say it's good. But that's just preference for me because I think if you have a motif that lends itself to multiple different designs, one or two Riders won't be enough to get the most of that motif.
