* BrokenBase: Some fans were rather off-put by ''Versus Road'' having a Video Game-esque theme similar to ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' and the battle royale theme like ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki''. On the other hand, there are others who find the series to be intriguing and bold for going in the direction that it did, all the while still remaining faithful to its roots.

* SpecialEffectFailure: While a BrokenBase remains on the quality of the show itself, there's two things most fans agree on: The live-action battles being great and the CGI...''not.'' - which is especially bad for a franchise whose main selling-point is its CGI combat. Many of the season's aesthetic effects look fine but the show's few Makai Armor segments feel very clumsy and awkward to watch; the final battle between [[spoiler: Garo and Veil]] standing out as an eye-strainer that may as well have come out of WesternAnimation/ReBoot.

* CompleteMonster: [[BloodKnight Ren Hyūga]] is a young man who, after escaping from the police for being the [[SerialKiller prime suspect in a series of murders]], accepted an invitation to join the virtual reality of ''[[BattleRoyaleGame Versus Road]]'' alongside 99 other players. A [[AxCrazy vicious psychopath]] in and out of the game, Hyūga satisfies himself by indulging in PlayerKilling to his heart's content while searching for strong opponents for him to kill. Hyūga's cruelty is best seen when he butchered five players in the second round alone, but not before torturing one of them first. Killing in the game also doesn't stop Hyūga from continuing his serial murders in the real world, as he brutally murdered the men who identified him. Smiling at the revelation that dying in the game means you also die in real life, Hyūga was the absolute worst that ''Versus Road'' had to offer.
