I feel bad for Ikazuchi. He was a villain that surpassed Kyoya in every way for two reasons:

1: He had a tragic backstory that made me want to sympathize with him and gave context as to why he does what he does. Kyoya was just evil because the series needed a villain and really did nothing to be redeemed in our eyes when he turned into a good guy after his defeat.

2: He handed Undesputed King of Plot Armor Gao Mikado his first loss and actually put him through a meaningful emotional trial. The closest Kyoya ever came to doing this was making Gao feel mildly discouraged from facing him, and not because of Kyoya's villainousness but because an overwhelming number of people were in Kyoya's corner.

And yet they killed Ikazuchi off in such an anti-climactic way as having him, quite literally, fall in a hole and die.
