[SPLIT LIP]

I think Raia may be one of my favourite Riders in this show. He's non-combative, but isn't a pushover. He's a psychic, but not controlled by his predictions. He also doesn't let anyone manipulate him, even if it's undoubtably going to lead to his death. The price of being your own man and living up to your morals is a high one. He's probably, next to Zolda, one of the more rounded characters despite being kind of on the sideline. I only wish we got to see more of his contract monster, and actually saw him make the contract. That's gotta be weird, since how does a stingray stalk someone? Also, he has no cool abilities. He can use the stingray's tail as a whip, but has no guard vent or strike vent.

Also, is he gay? And no, I'm not talking about him being pink in rider form, but when he talks about his friend the flashbacks make it out like they were always spending time together like a couple. I think that'd be cool. Especially since, as I said, he's such a well-rounded and cool character.

EDIT: So of course they kill him off. Man Ryuki, you're really making me wonder why you're so popular.

Also Knight got an upgrade ya woo whatever the bland as can be angsty asshat character gets a shiney new upgrade and the one with actual DEPTH gets burried. How's that for justice. At leats Raia wasn't eaten, but now I wonder why he wasn't.

In fact, that rule kind of got abandon fart sugar didn't it? When Scissors died he got eaten by his monster ina s tupid way, but when Gai died Metalgelas threw a temper tantrum before just deciding Ouja was his rider because he owned his piece of paper. Now Raia's dead and whatever the hell his monster is called couldn't be botehred to get out of bed.

DAMMIT. Yet another rider show that establishes rules and then ignores them! What the hell?

But only one that takes place during the series, Ore Tanjou (I'm Born) which you need to watch.

Yeah, sucked when Raia died. He's certainly one of my favorite characters. And his monster's name was Evildiver.

And I think Ohja got control over the two because...Um...

So I watched Kabuto 7, Blade 5, and Black 2 to see which one I liked more, and I'm still in the same problem. I think I might watch another episode of each one and see if that helps. I have more space now so I might throw in Agito in this decision.

Just saw Kuuga from half of the series to episode 41 and Wizard from the Drago timer introduction to episode 29.

Kuuga compared to Wizard is so hilarious since Kuuga has so little action that goes over so quick yet the brutality of it makes it worth the short time.

Also Gremlin is a dick.

Unfortunately, the climax seems to have finally ended. Unless they showed up in SHTZ (and I haven't heard anything about that), 2013 is the first year since 2007 where we've had no appearance by Owner, Naomi, and the Taros.

I think this is a big reason why I ended up disliking Kuuga so much. Kuuga has aged so horribly, it looks so cheap and is just all round so naff that all of its inherent crappiness is magnified when placed next to a huge, flashy, ultra modern series.

I think I got over the Kuuga suit looking fake a long time ago but in the Ryuki clips I've seen it bugs me. Can't imagine watching Dragon Knight from the suits looking fake to real in between footage switch

Is it also because the plot doesn't exist unless it's the beginning, middle or end or an unnecessary focus on minor character's stupid dilemmas that don't have to relate to Kuuga?

Locke, I think you are getting to me and I think I'm starting to hate Kuuga now.

[Starscreamer]

So I just watched the Den-O/Decade movie...the one with the Warship...that Diend had no real reason to be in but hey, it was bad Decade writing...and while I understand the kind of why...I can't stand that they had Ouja possessed by Ryotaro...it was just WRONG seeing that suit act like that...ok...angry fanboy rant done...

The plot doesn't exist in Kuuga, period. It's all 'ooo mysterious' until you get to the end of the series and realise you know as much as you did when you went in as you do coming out.

It also doesn't help that Godai has no emotional range and is so disconnected from the Rider stuff that everything Kuuga related comes from the side characters reactions and feelings...rather than what the main protagonist is reacting to or feeling.

Plus later on Godai gets like super healing powers so he gets battered in his suit, and then the next scene he is completely fine so you could cut out most of the fight footage or swap it around or whatever else and it wont make any difference, it's pointless.

If you like Kuuga that is fine but Kuuga is so overrated and I hate how Kuuga gets away with so much that other series are torn apart for.
