She wasn't a fighter - she was just a referee.

The lack of Yusuke and N-Daguva-Zeba's first fight is a legit complaint, though. I don't think anybody saw episode 47 and didn't think "wait, did I miss an episode?" I get that it was probably some kind of budget constraint issue, but it still sucked. I don't think it takes away from Kuuga's overall awesomeness, though.

I think the biggest problem for the final fight is that we know next to nothing about this guy. He just randomly showed up, had absolutely no development, but we are supposed to believe he is the ultimate Grongi. Were the writers of the Final Fantasy games on the final episodes staff?

As for W, the reason I love it so much is because of the Sonozaki family. They are some of the best developed villains I have seen in any Kamen Rider series since probably Black. They were flawed because they were human. They were sympathetic, because they were human. They were terrifying, because they were human.

The Sonozaki family are excellent. I'd probably hate them if it were based on design alone (tbh very few of the Dopant designs do anything for me. Dunno if that's because I've been spoiled by Fourze or what) but their development and characterisation lets me get past that really easily.

Ryube is awesome. He is the best old evil villain around. But his daughters are annoying and useless. Yes they were powerful but that had horrible designs and weren't terribly impressive in a fight. The Terror design was truly terrifying and the Nasca design was truly awesome but those are really the only ones I cared for. I still think Nasca should have come back down the road as a new rider for the series. He loved Fuuto so much. And the damn family cat being a commander? For gods sake.

Horrible designs? Are you referring to this:



which is one of the most amazing Kamen Rider designs ever? The head is just down right amazing. The skull on the shoulder is incredible. It was this design alone that got me back into Kamen Rider, because this design got me wanting to watch W when I first saw it earlier this year. This design looks like something out of a Persona game. Hell, it looks like something out of a Marilyn Manson video (when he had talent).

Yes. That ludicrous design is what im talking about. Taboo and Claydoll are just awful. The designs for nearly every dopant in the series were underwhelming to me. Again I liked Terror, Nasca, and Utopia.

Get out of my mind!!!!!!!

[Kamen Rider Meteor]

I kinda feel this way about W too. I am enjoying it way more then decade but I certainly found myself more invested in Den-o , Fourze and OOO's.

The Dopants were very, very hit or miss with me. There were some like Nazca, Weather, and Zone that I loved, while the likes of Sweets, Liar, and Clay Doll that just looked awful.

Also, on episode 6 of Blade. It's...Progressing, I guess.
