It's helped by the fact that he's extremely flamboyant and likeable, refrains from the pointlessly StupidEvil behaviors other ''Zero-One'' villains engage in, and spends most of his time smacking down characters who were let off [[EasilyForgiven far too easily]] and pointing out valid issues and [[IdiotBall stupid decisions]] other characters have made. Say what you will about ''Zero-One'''s DownerEnding, you can't deny Lyon didn't deserve to win to some degree.

** Many fans say the same thing about As, who never really amounted to anything in the end beyond getting outplayed 3 times in a row trying to set up a new Ark and spread malice and then getting unceremoniously killed off before ever getting a proper face off with the heroes. In fact beyond a brief mental communication she never interacted with Is, her heroic counterpart at all.

* CatharsisFactor: If you thought [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Horobi]] was too EasilyForgiven in the series, one thing you can at least thank Lyon Arkland for is [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty giving him his just comeuppance]] in the movie.

* {{Narm}}: The use of slow-Mo during As’s death, the fact that Arkland does a finger gun gesture before hand and the lack of any clarity that she was shot beyond a shot of Sword-20 holding a pistol kills any tension in the scene.

* MagnificentBastard: [[BadassInANiceSuit Lyon Arkland/Kamen Rider Zaia]] is the charismatic and charming CEO of [[Characters/KamenRiderZeroOneZAIAEnterprise ZAIA Enterprise]]. Desiring to sell his [[RobotSoldier Solds]] on the mass market, Lyon Arkland kidnaps Jin in order to lure the rest of [[Characters/KamenRiderZeroOneMetsubouJinraiNet MetsubouJinrai.net]] out and tricks them into becoming [[FusionDance Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai]] to create an enemy for his Solds to fight. When As tries to tempt him into become another [[ThePowerOfHate Ark]], Lyon insightfully points out why justice will always trump malice before shooting her dead. He later crashes an [[Characters/KamenRiderZeroOneAIMS AIMS]] press conference and sways public opinion to his side by painting his company as the victim while using AIMS's ties to [=MetsubouJinrai.net=] to discredit them. Though killed by Kamen Rider [=MetsubouJinrai=], Lyon dies with a triumphant "ZAIA forever!" and [[PosthumousVillainVictory ultimately gets the last laugh from beyond the grave]]: his Solds are needed to defeat Metsuboujinrai and his actions result in over half the ''Zero-One'' Riders being taken out of commission as well as the public view on Humagears turning negative once more, singlehandedly undoing everything Aruto and his allies worked for.

* InformedWrongness: Kidnapping Jin aside, Lyon's plan to sell [[RobotSoldier Solds]] is presented as an EvilPlan, since [=MetsubouJinrai.net=] see them as fellow Humagears. Except, unlike the Humagears Hiden Intelligence markets, Lyon's Solds are hooked up to a collective consciousness rather than given their own individual wills. This is presented as a bad thing since it keeps the Solds from becoming sentient, but the fact that they aren't sentient means Lyon technically isn't oppressing any living being, as the Solds never developed individual wills until after they were set free from the Mass Brain.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: There are lot of fans who found Lyon Arkland to be a compelling and charismatic villain, and wish he'd stuck around for the [[Film/KamenRiderZeroOneOthersVulcanValkyrie next movie]].
