Which HeiSei Rider Do You Hate The Most???

[Black Fang]

I don't how Ryuki is boring in any way. Dropping the ball toward the end, sure. Medocire finale, sure. But boring with useless characters? Come on...

Decade is the worst, followed by Kabuto.

 

[MetalSymphony]

None of them.

Sure, there are some that are jackasses (Tiger, Kaixa, Glave), irrelevant (Lengal, The rarely or unseen Oni, Sasword to some) or introduced too late to care about (Imperer, Delta, Dark Kabuto, Saga), but i don't hate any of them.

Decade was the worst series I've ever seen, even worst than what I've seen in Kabuto's second half. :redface2:
I can't say for the other series since I've only seen three series.

In terms of a single Rider, Kaixa. People hold him up as some great and awesome badass when all he's nothing more than a stalker and a prick who doesn't deserve to have the name Kamen Rider anywhere near him. He's not really an anti-hero, not even an entertaining villain, he's not really anything. Just an asshole for whom the writer makes everyones backbones fucking disappear whenever he's around.

In terms of series there's a few where it's just that I feel as though Bandai is just slapping the KR name on whatever concept they have laying around. For example I'd be a little more open to Hibiki or Den-O if they were not trying to pass them off as Kamen Rider. Hibiki just didn't really fit at all and Den-O doesn't either plus I just think it crosses over into a level of wacky that doesn't really fit Kamen Rider at all. ..and by that I don't even mean every Rider show has to be hyper-serious Kuuga/Agito level either. Kamen Rider can be bombastic, over the top, sometimes even silly but it's not the kind wacky anime comedy that I feel like Den-O is.

Kabuto I grew to hate mainly for it's main character and it's jarring tone-changes that pretty much made whatever story might have been there go straight to hell.

Decade. You know I think there are some fun and cool things about Decade I really do. Still love that OP and there are likable characters and it managed to win me over at first despite how utterly lame it was to replace the characters meant to inhabit those Rider suits. ..but it's a show that threw itself away and actually tried to defend this in canon by saying there was never any story. Bullshit. You don't get to do that. Decade also has the worst Bandai gimmick of all time: Final Form Rides. Kid show or not, they're just dumb. Just fucking dumb. They might as well have had BUY THIS **** OR NO ONE WILL LIKE YOU! written at the bottom of the screen.

I really wish Rider would have gotten a crossover celebration like the Ultra Galaxy Legend movie. Something that could be bothered to have some dignity. Instead we get a movie where Shadowmoon gets one-shotted by a guy who at that point had not even debuted yet. ..and that's in addition to the movies other bag full of problems.

Punch Hopper and Kick Hopper win this one for me, hands down. I cannot imagine shittier villains who are less entertaining or have dumber motivations, and for this to be the case in Kabuto that's a new achievement in crap-ass writing.

It's like they decided to drop some ineffectual assholes from Kaikan Phrase into Kamen Rider.

 

[MaraJade]

There were Riders I couldn't stand personality wise, but I do think most of the riders served some purpose, but here's a few that made me cringe/or blow up at the TV.

Femme: annoyed the crap outta me. Girl, that passive-agressive schtick is long gone. Read a book.

Delta: when donned by Mihara. Ok, I get it. He's the average Joe Schmo who just wants to stick his head in the sand and make believe all the baddies would go away, but seriously, you couldn't have found a whinier, pissier guy than him. For sake, that girl, (forgot her name) was a better Rider than you.

The Hoppers were unremarkable.

Chalice coupled with Amane: Hajime alone was great. Loved his character, but he'd turn into a putty without a brain around Amane. That annoyed me.

I haven't watched Den-O or finished Decade yet, but yeah.

 

[Blade Dancer]

Kaixa. For all the reasons already stated.

Mihara-as-Delta. Too many reasons to count. I need to watch GoGo V, I hear the actor's character is a lot better.

The Hoppers. I still don't know what the heck their deal was...

I haven't finished Ryuki, but I have yet to find a character in the show that I like. Riders included.

 

[Wing Saber]

The only one that I didn't care that much for was Hibiki. Though I give Toei credit for trying something different. It was the way it was handled, especially during the finale.

 

[lazycoconut]

If we're talking about a series, Kiva. If we're talking about just one Rider my vote goes to Saga - it's quite impressive to manage to be the biggest arsehole of the show when that show contains the likes of Nago and Otoya. He should have been killed when Mio ran him through at the wedding, he deserved it :redface2:

 

[Raida|23]

I wouldnt say I hate it, but surely I feel Kabuto was a missed chance. It could have been something really good, instead it was a mess [IMO].
