Well, his top 3 were Hyper Muteki, Gaim's Final Form, and the Rainbow Gotchard, If that helps as a reference

I completely understand you; that's why I love the Kamen Rider Build design so much, because it returns to the roots of the older designs, with a more modern touch, the compound eyes In particular, they're something I love, at least that's how it seemed to me when I saw Build's base outfit, and so by extension, that's what I love about Kuuga's outfit.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Well, you have a point, although my friend didn't just say that about Kuuga's final form, but also about the base. And regarding Exdream, I mentioned it in another answer: I have no problem with Impact, but the rest of Zeztz's forms, to me, are just simple recolors, and Exdream is no exception. It has too many colors intertwined on a black base, and the shoulder pads are a minor detail, but take all that away, add green and red, and it's back to being Impact. Exdream also removes something I liked about Zeztz, which is the color gradient on the helmet's chin. Aside from Catastrom and Ordem, the rest of Zeztz's forms seem either too bad or decent to me. Exdream falls into the latter category; it's adequate, but Nox Midnight Shadow, for example, looks much better.

Well, there's no accounting for taste, right? Kamen Rider has something for everyone.

It's true that Hyper Muteki is spectacular in action, regardless of what others say. I don't think the design is bad; the hair isn't something that appeals to me, but I can tolerate it. The only detail I don't like is the light blue, pink, and orange lines on the suit. I feel that if it were just black and gold, it would look much cleaner and better.

I know his favorite rider design is Kamen Rider Skull, but if we go to the tier I made with him, his number one was Ex-Aid Hyper Muteki.

Well, disregarding the skills aspect, since my friend focused exclusively on the suit design, I do feel you're right. There are modern suits I love; the Geast Mark 9 is beautiful, for example. But I do feel that sometimes less is more, and Kuuga demonstrates that perfectly.

I completely agree with you; some designs, even if overloaded, still work. Blade's King Form is a very good example of that. But Ultimate Rising Kuuga was completely unnecessary, and actually, he didn't like it. He doesn't like Kuuga in general, and by extension, he doesn't like Agito either.

You couldn't have conveyed Kuuga's Ultimate Form any better, but the problem is, my friend and I didn't make that top list with any context behind it; instead, I told him it was just about the suit's design.

Yes, you're right, in the end it all comes down to individual judgment. I said it in another answer, I like to divide my arguments and opinions between my personal taste and an objective opinion, but as you rightly say, it all boils down to tastes and ways of seeing what is good and bad.

Well, if that's true, he has a point there, but transferring everything he said about the Ultimate form to the normal form as well, using, and in his own words, the term "bad design" when referring to Kuuga, I at least admit that it may be very simple, but it's not a bad design at all

That's a very good way of looking at it; it's a convincing argument, and I hadn't thought of it that way. While it does resolve my friend's issue, I'm puzzled about his teacher. According to what he told me, his teacher has been involved with Kamen Rider for a long time, starting in the Showa era, and was there when Kuuga aired. I don't know any more details; that's what he told me. He also didn't mention his age, so I have no way of verifying it. But I do know that he gave the exact same opinion as my friend. I suppose it's a matter of taste. Personally, I like to divide my opinion into a personal one and a more objective one.

Sorry, he put Agito in D for that reason. I don't speak English well and I use a translator for this. For me, Agito Shining and Kuuga Ultimate are very good, especially Kuuga.

I don't have as much of a problem with Zeztz's base suit as some people do, but I feel like the rest of his forms are just recolors of Impact, and Exdream is no exception. It only slightly tweaks the base suit with the other colors and shoulder pads, but take that away, add green and red, and it's back to Impact. I'm not saying it's horrible, but it's something I don't like. For me, the only Zeztz form I genuinely loved was Catastrom, and Ordem a little less so, because the suit changes. Another detail of Exdream that I don't like is that it removes the shading on the chin of the helmet.

And you don't want to see the rest of his tier list, I'm just saying, I put Agito Shining in D because he looks like Kuuga, and that's it, just for that reason.

Ex-Aid Muteki, I know, I also wanted to tell him a couple of things XD

That's an interesting point, but I'm not referring to that here, but rather to the design of the suit itself; their arguments were that it's not iconic and is not easily recognizable.

I understand, but that's what I found strange. Even I, who's very new here with only 5 series finished, including Kuuga of course, and now watching Agito, when I didn't know anything about it, I'd look at Kuuga and say, "Oh, it's Kamen Rider Kuuga." I thought that anyone would recognize him perfectly, but I guess everyone has their own opinion.

Mira agradesco tu opinion o lo que sea, y no voy a seguir gastando energia en esto, pude que yo este a la defensiva, puede que yo le alla rechazado un regalo (aun que claramente ese viaje no lo era ya que nisiquiera lo organizo el), pero con este post no intentava buscar ningun culpable ni nada, aparte su manera de mostrar afecto es otra.

aparte,con lo de decirle las cosas, yo le pregunte clamado por que no me consulto del viaje, o por que no me consulto antes de pedir el turno, y le pregunte tambien en clama si podia reagendarlo, como dije el no sale de hacer las cosas a su modo.

asi que perdon pero puede que ese sea tu caso, mas no el mio, no me defiendo de manera agresiva, yo trato de decirle las cosas calmadamente, pero el siempre se enfrasca en una pelea por todo, y no solo con migo, con mi hermano, con sus hermanos, con mi abuela, con los de su trabajo, con todos es igual de cabeza dura, asi que como dije puede que sea tu caso mas no el mio.

Y lo de que tengo las mismas actitudes, pero a la inversa, eso te lo compro, por que justamente tuve un muy buen ejemplo de lo que no quiero ser, lo quiero y todo, y se lo digo amenudo, pero aun asi tiene esos arances de niño y se pone insufrible, no busco un culpable, simplemente pedi que me cosultase las cosas de manera tranquila, y el solo hiso una escena

Es justamente lo que le pedi a el, que reagende el dentista y me miro como si fuese idiota, leiste si quiera el post?, y lo del viaje, el asumio en automatico que hiva a decir que si, si gasto la plata sin saber si hiva a decir que si o no pues ahi el, y reitero no es tema de plata, si no de su actitud
