I need to watch Ryuki however I kind of felt that the American adaptation Dragon Knight was a better "deconstruction" of tokusatsu shows, Kit wasn't a person who just decided that he wanted to be a hero but a troubled teen who just got caught up in something larger than himself. I cannot speak for Ryuki but I did feel that Dragon Knight was better at it than Ryuki. That is not to say that Shinji's and Madoka's archetype don't exist but it was just that Kit's situation felt more real to me. Madoka was kind of a flat character in the series although I admit that maybe I wasn't paying atention to her character development.
