Once he got his powers back (via Fangire Wedding, which is a really smart decision in the script), he really wanted to kill Decade, so he kidnapped Natsumi and creepily threatened to marry her after killing her friends. It's... like, it's INSANE, but it's
legibly
insane. Everything he does feels like the decision-making process of a Showa villain. Not really any complaints about Apollo Geist in this one from me.
Now that you mention it... I guess that's just how I felt upon my first viewing? I get the Fangire Wedding, which works with the Kiva theme (I haven't actually watched Kiva yet, so I actually only know there's a wedding and no actual context), but it still feels very... petty I guess? When you mention how it feels very Showa Villain, and Apollo Geist is a Showa Villain, it actually fits perfectly. I do get that he's using Natsumi, as mentioned earlier, a lure for Tsukasa, and you certainly hit that one right on the nail.
Overall, I'd say even if I've been going off memory, I think I remembered a good deal of the show. Sure, I might have missed a lot of good points or a chink of the context by not re-watching it along with everyone. But having followed along with this thread, I really learned quite a lot I didn't know, and have even gotten more appreciation for this series, regardless of the bumpy road this journey has been. (Though I feel like I should be saying this
after
the "True Ending")
