First why did Kanzaki chose Ren and Shinji to gave them the Survive Cards? (aside from the out-universe explanation that they're the main riders and need to be the riders to get the final form) why not Ouja? Tiger or even Zolda? These guys would've accelerated his plan, as for ouja he already killed 4 riders during the show and always trying to kill the riders, or Tiger who didn't care for his allies and killed them, Zolda will probably forget his friendship with Ren and Shinji as soon as he gets the Card and becomes close to his wish, is Shiro a fool?.

Also Why did Shiro chose some guys that clearly didn't match his preferences or his criteria, i mean didn't had some great wish that'll motivate them to fight in the War, especially Sano, Why you didn't chose a guy like Scissors or Ouja or just a homeless man and convince him if he wins he will has the most luxurious life ever?

Moreover, Shiro had some sort of control over the Mirror World so why he didn't try to band the Alternatives from entering the Mirror world, i mean Shinji still a rider who kills monster in that world so at least he somehow valuable for Shiro, but Kagawa and Hajime were just there to close the world, consequently they could've made his plan fails, so why you let them enter the mirror world?

Tbh, although she was a con artist in the movie, but compared to Tiger, Ouja or Gai she's like an angel among them, how she tried to fool Shinji at first and used his naivety for her own thing, then started to fall for him, and Man i love their chemistry and the spark that was between them, and for me the biggest proof that she loved Shinji for who he is, is that when Ryuga tried to attack her she immediately knew that he wasn't Shinji. I think they would've made a perfect married couple who could've appeared in the later movies or season, like Rider Time, Zi-O, such a wasted couple🥲🥲

Shinji: Ryuki gave us nearly the best embodiment of pure hero, a hero who does everything he can only to save people>!, even sacrificing himself to save a girl near the finale which leads ultimately to his death (which was one of the most grieving deaths in the franchise) !< >!moreover he took that fatal blow from the raydragoon and stand, transform again so he could help Ren continue stopping the monsters !<, also hes The Everyman so relatable no tragic past, no magical origins, no talents or any skills, just a journalist who by mistake found a supernatural deck that allowed him to enter a world in the mirrors and a war he never asked for. He the purest representation of a hero, selfless, prioritising people's lifes over his, even helping Asakura live by helping him feeding his three contract monsters just to not make that girl that was with him depressed because she tought that Asakura was her saviour. A hero you can relate to him and you say "oh this guy is like me, he's just so normal maybe he represents me" also don't forget that he comes to terms with his naivety and understood finally the nature of the war, he also has that moral code of Batman "never kill a person", which exactly justifies >!why he got depressed to the point he allowed Dragreder to consume him after he tought he killed Zolda.!<

Also Shinji without knowing he succeeded in his goal, and closed the mirror world, ultimately proving that no matter how naive you're or how evil the guys around you are you can still manage to prove that Good always win and that you can achieve your goal. (There's too much to say about him, just say "Shinj The GOAT and One of a Kind" and we're done)

Shiro: The Mastermind, The Ruler of The Mirror World, KR Odin, whatever you call him, Shiro is the best representation of an evil mastermind that really has a good goal but does it in a twisted ways, Shiro never wanted anything for himself, everything he had done was for her sister the only valuable thing and the only person matters to him, Shiro wanted only to save his little sister, intentionally didn't want to hurt someone but the reality he created forced him to do it, choosing random guys to kill each other, choosing a psycho who his only job is to kill anyone who piss him off, but what stands the most is his love for his sister, i can symphatize with Shiro for only this thing, >!even when The Alternatives were after Yui's life he gave Shinji the Survive Card so he can protect her from them !<moreover can we applause for the fact that Shiro perfected his role as mastermind, unconsciously manipulating the riders, helping a criminal escapes only because he knew that he'll be a valuable addition to his plan and will exactly do the purpose of the Rider War which's to kill other riders.

Shiro stand as best embodiment of a mastermind type-villain because he kept his cool mysterious appearance and voice for so many episodes until Yui confront him and threaten him>! to jump from a skyscraper!< only to make him lose his cool and mysteriousness and show his weak/emotional side which adds a more tragedy to his personality more than his tragic past with his parents.

>!Furthermore the fact Shiro got an epiphany at the finale, that was the best thing that could've happened to him, in my point of view, this was the best ending for Shiro and for the serie itself, because finally he understood that Yui was gone long ago and he must accept that he must continue his life without her, accept the fact that he killed many innocent people in order to achieve a futile goal that wasn't even going to happen even if he win, which made him reset time for one last time to world where the Rider War doesn't exist and he back to his drawing with Yui and their kid selves.!<

Asakura: the purest embodiment of a criminal/psychopath/sadist/maniac....etc

Asakura was the pure example of a criminal>! i mean the dude caused a fire at the age of 13, killed his parents consequently, also killing Miho's sister and forgetting even if he did kill her which makes him more psychotic and sadist than ever he was, fooling Reiko to bring him his brother only to fed him to Venosnaker why "because he annoys me" !< and the fact he was annoyed when he knew that his brother was still alive, it justifies the psychotic personality of him, he also embodies nearly the concept of chaos/psychopathy, Asakura is like the Joker of Kamen Rider Franchise, and tbh the fact of Shinji saving him reminds me of how Batman although knowning the joker is a psycho and will kill people again he still saves him no matter what he does.

Can we applause for the fact that Asakura was the only one who accept Shiro's game merely for his sense of killing some guys, he's the only one who fight for the goal the goal that Shiro created for the riders, Fight Fight and stand as the last champ and fight the final boss and win a prize, surprisingly that prize is just restart the war and continue it forever, like Asakura's only purpose is killing, kill as many as i want until i die.

Fortunately he achieved it, killed >!Raia,Gai,Imperer and Zolda !< that latter who unfortunately wasn't his >!Archenemy but just his butler Goro!< whichi pissed him off so much and he couldn't stand the fact he couldn't kill his archenemy which pushed him to do the most stupid thing ran >!into a police trap which ultimately led to his death.!<

For me, even if Asakura was a psycho/maniac but he don't deserve that ending, Asakura likes killing and fighting then give him that proper ending, the best ending i think fit him is in Episode Final >! where he was killed by Miho, !<that's what i can call it a perfect ending for Ouja. But guys none can deny that Ouja is one of the biggest reasons why Ryuki is so popular.

Il go first, SURVIVE!

I was rewatching Ryuki, then an idea got me, have anyone ever thought that Kamen Rider Ryuki had the same idea of Mortal Kombat Armageddon (or vice versa MKA was inspired by Ryuki), even Ed Boon could've gotten the idea from of the game from Kamen Rider Ryuki (i can't remember right if Blaze was mentioned in the previous games before armageddon)

Both of them has some guys fight each other in a battle to reach the final boss and to win the power of Blaze in MKA (the wish in KR Ryuki) that grant them a power with it they can do anything.

With Blaze replacing Odin and Kanzaki as the final boss, but the only thing that i couldn't find right in my idea here, is that i didn't found a character with same (probably the same) ending as the show's ending, even the real ending of Armageddon in MK9 doesn't correspond to the show's ending or even Rider Time's ending. (attention: i didn't watch Rider Time but i saw something about it)
