With the recent pictures of Ex-Aid and the general opinion that it's the worst design ever, it got to me thinking what is the worst design for a main Heisei Kamen Rider ever is. At least for me, I think the designs are pretty good except for the pink color of Decade. There is a reason why I called him the Rider in Pink for years.
Due to the poll restrictions, only the first 15 have their own selection. If you pick Other, please post in the thread with your choice of Drive or Ghost. Also I'm not going to entertain Ex-Aid because it's not really fair to judge him just on still pictures alone.
What Main Heisei Kamen Rider has the worst design?

It's a tough call. Most of them have some appeal to them. If the design looks odd then the colouring is usually good and vice versa.
I can't say I think any of them are the worst, but I think Ryuki is the least appealing for me. Something about it doesn't really give me the rider vibe.

I absolutely love the series, one of my favorites, but I gotta vote for Fourze. He looks like a weird-faced astronaut more than a Rider.

I love Decade, but designwise he's so bulky and oddly designed. So I picked him.
Not a fan of the green on Ex-Aid's chest piece, but his head design seems to go for some kind of retro 90s anime intent, so I can get behind that.

Re: What Main Heisei Kamen Rider has the worst design?
This, was a tough call for me. At first I wanted to say Ryuki, but I think that was more based on my dislike of the series than the suit itself. Then I thought 'well how about theme wise?' and I thought Agito might be that, due to it, for me, not really getting across what made Agito itself compared to the other Riders on the list, but I still rather enjoyed his design over all. I don't think I minded Decade or Fourze at all as much as other members on the forum, Decade had a very dramatic look despite being pink and barcodes, and Fourze... I'm more accepting of silly or goofy than others I think. In the end, I think Ghost might have the worst design just from how, completely bulky his base form is.

I have to say Fourze. I get that he's supposed to look like a space shuttle, and he does, but it's an unflattering, ugly design. It's a pretty good KR show, but it has an ugly main suit.

It didn't occur to me really until you brought it up, but I think I have to agree with you.Catastrophe wrote:It's a tough call. Most of them have some appeal to them. If the design looks odd then the colouring is usually good and vice versa.

I didn't see this in time to vote, but if I had I would've voted for Fourze. I don't hate his suit design, but it has the least "Kamen Rider" look about it to me, and is very awkward when compared to other Rider suits.
