Wow! What a crazy special, haven't said wtf in so long since I've watched the classic toku shows like Black. Despite low ratings, THAT many people tuned in to watch Ryuki?
It's a good show. And what do you mean low ratings? Compared to what?

First number is the average:
Ryuki <平均9.45% 切り上げ9.5% 50話トータル472.4>

Faiz <平均9.26% 切り上げ9.3% 50話トータル462.8>

Agito <平均11.67% 切り上げ11.7% 51話トータル595.1>

Yeah, that's that old rumor that Ryuki was getting terrible ratings because it was different from previous Kamen Rider shows. I've been hearing about it since the year the show aired. One rumor I can recall claimed that the movie was called "Episode Final" because Ryuki was going to be cancelled and it really was going to be the final story. O_o

Well it was certainly a different & interesting take on the Ryuki story, though i'm kinda disappointed I was expecting to see all 13 riders fighting each other instead we get everyone under the command of Verde being basic school yard bullies toward Shinji & Ren, I really think they could've done a better job with the story. Verde's pretty cool looking he'd have been a really interesting (definitely more interesting than his American counterpart) addition to the main series, though I think his "Final Vent" could use a bit of tweaking the pile driver just didn't seem right maybe give him a screw kick were Biogreeza spins him like a top. Also found it interesting that they allowed their viewers to call in and vote on the ending not as Epic as the one that was done for the Batman comics, but i'm not against seeing it again.

The Clue bit was far and away the most surreal moment I've had watching a toku sub. (Clue is one of my favorite movies, and it's definitely clever place to insert it, just... hecka surprising.)

This was the last Ryuki ending - well, pair of endings - that I hadn't seen, and... yep. I didn't find any of them satisfying. Thank goodness Gaim came along and rehabilitated the concept. I can't believe they spent so much of the special's runtime on Shinji's office hijinx at the expense of the Rider characters and the final battle.
