As long as he goes out befitting his character. I just don't want some quick death scene that's glossed over or anything. I just hope he get's one more moment of awesome before he goes out.

Also, Imperer was... almost seriously heartbreaking. Like no joke, he wasn't the greatest guy ever, and he's far from an amazing character, but I really felt bad. He was a kid in over his head, just wanting more for himself in life. Selfish, maybe, but hardly an evil motivation. Everyone wants more in life, and he just wanted to be happy. As soon as he got that he tossed his deck away. He wasn't a bad guy, just a bit of a selfish guy.

Though once again, the "contract" with the monsters is just ignored. I thought the deal was the riders kill other monsters for them, and if they fail that or lose their decks, the monsters eat them? Literally that's only been shown with Scissors, everyone else has just fizzled away. Also it means Ouja got another cheap kill with his silly final attack. Seriously, I'm not sure what the point was. How did he even know where they were? Was he even in the episode before that?

Though once again we see Tiger's twisted morality at work. The dude belongs in a padded room. Did we ever get an explanation to why there were three Tiger decks, or how he got it despite working against Shiro?

That was a pretty wrenching end, yeah. I don't think there are any actual Imperor fans out there, but the dude has a really memorable death.

The other two decks were fakes made to keep the other Riders from figuring out which of them was Tiger. Clearly it was a moot point pretty quickly.

Yeah, that was entirely pointless, the only one they "fooled" was Kido.

You know, the one who didn't want to fight them.

Also, onto 45: "Just consider them strange Christmas ornaments."

Everything truely funny comes out of Zolda, I've found. I'm rather dissapointed that he's used so little in rider form. He's still around, but he fights very little even though when he does he usually does a fair amount of damage.

Ryuki 46: Um, oh wow... Tiger is dead. I did not see that coming. Also, Ouja may be dead, too, but since logic crumbles and dies around him, he's probably fine. Zolda and Gorou almost didn't make it, which had me worried. Oh, and Ryuki and Knight are fighting or some shit... they're not important. Anythign with Knigth isn't important, he's the blandest most confused charatcer in this show. At least Ouja gets some kind of response from me, halk the time I forget Knight's even there, and Ryuki is simply not as interesting as everyone else.

Also, I count nine riders having appeared so far, (Ryuki, Knight, Zolda, Scissors, Raia, Ouja, Tiger, Odin and Imperer) I thought there were 13? Are they really gonna cram 4 new characters into the last three episodes?

The remaining 3 are Femme, Verde, and Ryuga, who appear in Ryuki's 2 movies (Well, one's a TV special, but whatever).

You skipped Gai in your list, who would be the 10th Rider to appear in series.

Oh right, Gai.

EDIT:

Episode 47: Well, it happened. It was very poignant as ZeoRanger said. I knew it was coming, but it was still sad. I feel especially bad for Gorou.

Oh, and Ouja's still alive. Yeah, he survived a fucking CAR BOMB with nothing more than dirt on his face. What the actual fuck. Tell me, is he a robot?
Because no human being is this resiliant or poorly motivated.

EDIT 2: Wait, Zolda's not dead? Hooray!

But wait, he still dies right?

o_o

[Dr Kain]

Yeah, the major failing of Ryuki is NOT having all 13 riders in the series itself. It never made sense to me. Don't tell me there is going to be a rider war among 13 riders if there aren't actually thirteen god damn riders in the show!!!!!! It makes the writers look bad because it is like they completely forgot about what they said back in episode 2.

Dragon Knight had everyone, and as poorly handed as people claimed it to be, I had no idea those three listed above were movie only, those Riders never felt out of place in the series for me.

Yeah, I don't get that. Why not just say ten and then make up other existing riders? And since the movies were apparently non-canon I hear, why would that be a problem?

Also, big revelation about Yui... that was kind of ruined by the BREAKNECK pace of the scene in which it was revealed. That's the entire point of her character and it's dumped on us in UNDER A MINUTE. Way to suck any drama out of that scene with a silly straw, there. Also it was so... dumb. Her mirror verison reanimates her dead body what? What is happening? What does that have to do with anything we've seen? And she's so stupid about it. What the hell do you mean you never existed? At the very least you were a child, but Shiro's right, this doesn't really change anything.

And after all that, she still dies. Oh no you had so much to live for blah blah why should I care, again? I hate to be that way, but why should I be sad or care at all about a character who just acted like wimp and couldn't act her way out of her own Beiber haircut? (and neither can Shiro. He's spent the whole show monotoning and I see why. Dude gets silly face when he's anything but perv-staring)

Now I have a question. I'm halfway through 49, and there's only one episode left after this, right? Now, I heard the movie has an alternate ending. If that's true, which should I watch? Which is the more sensible, better-done finale?

[Matrixbeast]

I know the 13 Riders TV Special is an alternate universe that gets reset because the results aren't to the antagonist's liking, so it's loosely canon.
I don't remember it's movie to save my life, though, sorry.
