So does Exodus have a Vegeta/Kaiba type of character that's his rival?
Yes he does. He gets 2 in fact.
Zakato Oraki is Exodus' first rival. Zakato is the tenth Knight to become the
"Knight Reaper". The Knight Reaper is an special assassin that only kills
those that are wicked and sinful. The Knight Reaper are traditionally chosen
by their auras, if they have potential to become dark warriors. When Zakato
was born, he was placed in England, along with his 5 siblings by Lucifer so
he would be safe. Zakato is the tenth Knight to become, Knight Reaper.
Before him, the 7th Knight Reaper was a wicked Knight named Veras. He
was completely insane, and so he was defeated in combat by Zakato's
grandfather. His grandfather became the 8th, then his mother became the 9th.
Zakato lost his memory of being a Knight until a group of Knights found him and brought him to the Knight's Realm, restoring his memory, and informing him that
he would become the next Knight Reaper.
The reason why Exodus & he are rivals is because it's part of Knight tradition.
Competition is encouraged, so long as it is friendly. In order for Knights to
advance in ranks, they must beat their assigned rivals.
Zakato faced Exodus at the end of Season 1, and was slightly more skilled, and
powerful than him. But Exodus managed to unlock his armor's power, and in his
armored form, he overpowered Zakato. Eventually, in the 4th season, Zakato
returned, and this time he defeated Exodus. The victories the two had did not
count. Zakato did not have access to his own armor, and Exodus did not put
a great deal of himself into their 2nd encounter. They needed a deciding fight.
They were far too busy with other matters, such as fighting against evil Knights, and
finally the threat of Duequain to really concentrate on a match. They had a reluctant
truce. But during season 5-8, they grew a mutual understanding and respect for one another. Eventually, they did become friends in Season 7. In Season 8, just before
their epic battle with Duequain, they fought each other to see who was truly better.
Both at their peak, they fought a long and ardous battle, with Exodus coming out
on top. Zakato willingly accepted his defeat and Exodus' superiority.
Zakato : Well met Exodus. At last we both know. Between you and I, you are the
better Knight.
Exodus : Nah, this fight proved that we're both too damn good for labels.
This said, the two became true friends.
His other rival appeared during Season 11. This Knight is named K' Rose, The Red
Knight. K' Rose proved to be virtually equal to Exodus in terms of skill and power.
K'Rose constantly pursued Exodus, gouging him into battles in order to prove to
him that he was superior, and that everyone's faith in Exodus was misplaced.
Eventually, Red made a deal with The Nagans, who backstabbed him. He sacrificed
himself, rather than be saved by Exodus when he was devoured by the Leviathan.
