Mou...Mou...TAUROS!
I'm A Djinn
Decade holds the title in my opinion. That ending was like proof of how production just stopped giving a **** about that show.
I honestly dont mind that Phillip came back. But I do agree that they brought him back too soon. Im split as to whether id prefer a stronger ending but have the half of the main Rider dead or a pretty underwhelming ending but everyone's happy. I tend to go for the happier option especially if I like the show and cast.
I think Kabuto's misstep in its ending is that Tendou didnt jst flat out die and burn in hell. If for some reason they gave the scene where Kickhopper (Fthat dude) mercy kills Punchopper (F that dude even more) and made it Kagami (dork) putting Tendou down. I would just bawl in happiness. Main Riders that are far too cocky and arrogant should just die in a fire. Acting like you've input God-mode cheat command throughout the show isnt endearing or impressive, that's just something hopelessly gullible nerds would fall for and call "kewl".
And I disagree about Kiva. I think it has the best ending of all Kamen Rider series. I never got to see any more of that moronic story and unlikeable cast after that, didnt I? It was beyond a happy ending. It was downright Christmas that day.

For me, the worst ending is easily Hibiki's. By that point the show had gone so badly off the rails that it barely made sense anymore and the last episode was a total mess.
For best ending I usually go to either Blade or Black. Blade's ending, of course, is famously tragic but I like how powerful it is that Kenzaki was willing to sacrifice his humanity for his friend. It was both touching and awesome. Black's ending is another great tragedy and I find it really moving that the last five minutes of the show is just Kotaro sitting alone in the abandoned coffee shop remembering all the friends he's lost. I don't know, I guess I just kind of love more emotionally complex endings (and yet W's ending is also way up their on the list for me because it was so happy; go fig).

I wouldn't say any Rider show has a worst ending. 555 and Decade had a pretty epic final fights near end. Of course, the final few minutes of 555 and Decade's revelation I cannot defend.
NOW, if we're including movie series, then the Next has THE worst ending I've seen in anything Rider.
For best endings, I'd say OOO and Den-O are what I think are the best finales.

Blade had a really good ending. And I actually liked Kuuga's ending, for showing how Yuusuke affected the lives of everyone.
Faiz' ending was terrible, but most people seem to know that. I don't like Ryuki's ending, as it seems to make almost the entire series pointless.

I liked him when he wasn't a god
My best would be Kuuga, OOO (I know it left a lot hanging but it really hit hard on an emotional level), Black and Ryuki.
Worst would be Decade (obvious reasons), Den-O (I really hated the crappy melodrama of the Airi/Yuuto storyline) and Blade. I don't think Blade's ending was bad in itself but I hate "Hajime" more than any other character in the franchise, possibly in any tokusatsu series ever. I loathe him so much that I use inverted commas around his name because I will never consider him a human character. So given the role he played in the ending there is really no way for me to like it.
