To start off, I've found some interesting pictures on HJU.

It's quiet possible we could get answers to the questions we were left asking after the Kiva finale.

Young Wataru with Kivat. Also present is a female Kivat, yet I have no clue who she is.

[Noel Kreiss]

Here is a question,is Koji Seto supposed to be in the whole series?

[Ikusa]

I don't believe so. But he will play an important role.

[Moriamur]

New ryuki rider is known as kamen rider abyss

as for the girl kivat, i think it is called kibata or something, am not certain

[Kamen Rider Joker]

New riders from "worlds" of a rider that has already aired?



I'm verrrryyyy pissed off.

[S.I.C]

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!

are you telling me that Kido(Takamasa Suga) isn't going to be Ryuki? I mean I already knew that Kruuga was going to be a differnet actor....WTF!

so what rider from the actual shows are coming back? They better bring back Hiro Mizushima as Tendou Souji or I am going to be really pissed!!!!......I say this because in the preview we see Koji Seto(A.K.A Wataru) walking down a ally doing the raised hand thing that Tendou does....>_><_<....

GAH!

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Before everyone blows there load, I found this pondering from Igadevil at HJU:


Something I noticed with the recast guys... their given names are always written in Katakana. Yuusuke, Shinji, Ren, Wataru... and they weren't in any of the original series. Also, in the magazine scans showing adult Wataru, his name is written the normal way it was throughout Kiva. Interesting...

It's theoretical possible that we might get the original guys at some point toward the end, And this is to show the worlds are ****ed up or something.

Edit:

I hate word filters you know that right?! Oh right, off-topic. . .

On-Topic, I'm aiming to do a Blog Post Review of the First Episode tomorrow night after watching it on Keyhole, and if Keyhole fubars on me, then I'll just grab the torrent like everyone else.


Also, There has been some more "News" from Dukemon about things other than the above scans, but I'm not reporting or putting ANY faith into them. They REEK of bad fanfiction.

Like Fanfiction I would write, if I had motivation.

[Crystal Ranger]

Here is what I read on another board;


1-3: Kuuga (new actor)
4-6: Agito (original actor)
7-9: Ryuki (?)
10-12: Faiz (original actor)
13-15: Blade (?)
16-18: Hibiki (? most likely new actor)
19-21: Kabuto (original actor)
22-24: Den-O (original actor)
25-27: Kiva (original actor)
The numbers are what the guy suspects to be the episodes they appear in.

I'm glad they are bringing back Kabuto's actor cuase there is no other Tendou Souji/ Kabuto than Mizushima Hiro. I also hope they bring back the real Hibiki cause he was one of my all time favorites and played the role perfectly.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

I JUST watched the first Episode of KAMEN RIDER DECADE. . .


Wow guys, It's just. . . I need a minute to collect myself, that was like 30 minutes of awesome sauce.

[Ikusa]

It GREATLY exceeded my expectations.

[Kaiser Zero]

NOOOO I missed it. ;_;

[Ikusa]

I wouldn't worry, The raw will most likely be fast tracked.

[Kaiser Zero]

I know where to look for is so i'll be alright. XD

[John Marston]

I'll wait for the Sub which is what I do every year....

[Ikusa]

Here's a real crotch kicker. According to a magazine article, Decade will only consist of 30 episodes.

[John Marston]

Well then we are getting two series this year?

[Ikusa]

It doesn't say.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Here's a real crotch kicker. According to a magazine article, Decade will only consist of 30 episodes.

I'm taking it with a grain of salt, It's not even from one of the big magazine's that cover these shows. I'm waiting until one of THOSE report something like that.

[heeroyuy236]

Wasn't there a rumor that Kiva was gonna end somewhere in the 30's as well?

[Ikusa]

That was stupid rumor started by some idiots on 2chan.

[John Marston]

Damn you /b/!!!!!!!11111

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Wasn't there a rumor that Kiva was gonna end somewhere in the 30's as well?

We are treating this one like it could actually happen cause there is an interview with 30 in there somewhere.


So it COULD happen, but again, I'm waiting for confirmation from one of magazines that Deal with Tokusatsu before I really get affected by this.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Bunch of Torrents of the Raw are out!


Here's the one I'm nabbing if anyone is curious:

http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=47831

[Moriamur]

...DAMN are the torrents flying out fast for Decade

[Kaiser Zero]

Bless you Tiz, Bless you! Now I don't have to spend my night looking!

[Moriamur]

...YES!!!

Now I got the ****ing thing running... Bless your kind Kamen Rider/Toku heart Tiz

HENSHIN!

[Ikusa]

I'm loving the henshin. "Kamen Ride".

[Kaiser Zero]

YES!!!! IT'S AWESOME!! *pulls out Kabuto card*

[heeroyuy236]

o_o All I can say is.... I'm speechless! All the riders and kaijin fighting each other is like super cool awesome that it makes me cry! << >> that and the mirror sounds, Ryuki nostaglia(sp?) FTW!!!

Edit: I would really like to see a Sentai series like this right now!

[Monkey D. Luffy]

That episode was just mind blowing. I'm guessing that every main Rider from the 10 series will talk to him like Wataru did in this episode. Can't wait OMG!

[Kaiser Zero]

Raw one was added to the first page. I didn't upload it!

[Crystal Ranger]

You all know I'll be uploading TV Nihon's subs, should I send them to you guys to add to the first post or just make a thread in the Media area?
--
Kamen Rider Decade is freakin' awesome. Only one episode in and I'm already hooked.

In fact I think I may go back to doing episode reviews/mini reviews for it and the other two series as well (RPM and Shinkenger). Shoot haven’t done those since Boukenger/Kabuto.

I knew this would be good, but it blew what I was expecting out of the water. I'll still miss Kiva though as that was one of my favorite series. Decade is going to fill that void and then some though. It has only been on for one episode and already it is an instant hit.

I know a lot of people say this and normally I'm one of the ones saying it is to soon to tell, but I honestly think that this will be a favorite/best series to a lot of the fans.

Me personally I'm not going to make that leap. As far as I'm concerned Kabuto and Kiva occupy the top two listings and they plan to stay.

[Kaiser Zero]

Either place is fine. Best to have it in more then one place just in case.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Currently downloading the Raw now. This will be the first raw episode I have ever watched. I hope my expectations are met.

[Monkey D. Luffy]

They will be Justin, the episode was not far of perfection! :D

[Crystal Ranger]

That opening scene is what I first thought Ryuki would be. Before I watched it the first time around I always heard about the “Rider War”. It was still a good series but the “Rider War” was not at all what I expected.

[Urza Planeswalker]

*screams like a little girl* OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! What an episode. I mean that was my first time ever watching a raw episode but I still loved it I want to see this subbed. I guess this will be the first series I watch with everyone else instead of waiting cause THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!

[Moriamur]

Alright, when I first heard about Decade having the power to change into a different Rider, or gets an aspect. I was thrilled till learning that he could literally turn into a different Rider (minus the belt) and I ended up not liking that idea at all and grew against it...

But that all changed once I saw the RAW of episode 1... And DAMN what an episode 1 it was! I mean we have this Rider War going on which was mindblowingly explosive.

Only to learn that it is a dream dreamt by a beautiful young woman *rawr* and looks like things are going a liiiiiiittle bit wrong in the shop where she works or something.

The whole angle of worlds colliding and merging was done nicely and interesting and I must confess the way that things are being handled was nice, like Wataru showing up a lot more matured and explaining I think to Natsumi finding the belt and gear of Decade (I want that belt and gear DAMNIT!) to Tsukasa henshining into Decade... And **** what an awesome henshin that one is, I really love how that watery glass barrier shattered like that once the henshin was complete (not to mention seeing the grey images of the 9 original Riders merging into becoming Decade's suit of armor).

I must say that well... My opinion of how and why Decade changes into the other Rider's form has changed and I like it... A pity that the cards ran out of empty after only one real battle... Oh well at least he rides around on his belt to get to where he needs to go instead of running like some of the other Riders are guilty off at doing...

It was also pretty much cool to see all of those different kaijins again like the Imagin, the Worms, the Orphenoch, the Makamou's and the Fangires... Although I don't know who that first group of Kaijin are that showed up before the Fangires... Are they Undead? Cause they don't look like Grongi or Lords/Unknowns to me...

Well the cards are turned dry (all of them except for Decade's it seems) and Tsukasa goes dimension hopping, and which world do we enter first? Kuuga's... With someone else being Kuuga... hmmm... Well I'll wait for the sub to see what and how, but at least I am glad that they kept the way he henshins the same... Also gotta love seeing Ryuki showing up in one of the mirrors earlier on in the episode accompanied with the mirror buzzing sound.

I must say that Kamen Rider Decade is off to a really damn good start and the theme song sounds good, then again it is Gackt so it better BE good right?

Either way I can't wait for the sub to come out and truly enjoy, so I'll catch you all on the other side of the 9/10 worlds...

Henshin!

"Kamen Ride..."

*swings belt*

"DECADE!"

[Sonic]

I'm trying to download the RAW for "Decade 1" but find myself waiting roughly three hours to be able to get it :moop:

Any chance if someone can compress their copy of that file and send me a direct download link via PM (or something simular as that) please? :)

[Monkey D. Luffy]

The episode is also on Youtube if anyone wants the link..

[Sonic]

The episode is also on Youtube if anyone wants the link..
I saw the OP and the HD quality looks shocking hence why I am trying my best to download it.

[Urza Planeswalker]

I forgot about the henshin but yes it's amazing. I loved it! Still I can't wait to see more!

[Genpachi7]

Man, that first episode was better than I thought it'd be

[Sonic]

OK so I've finally fully downloaded the first RAW episode thanks to Michel who provided me with a compressed file (which didn't make any difference since my Internet speed is pish but I thank Michel (Angel Of Sins) for providing me with that file *thumbs up*).

So yeah...

There is a Rider war happening with a sexy bride's maid (don't get any ideas Nate >_>) caught up in the chaos. After the fight, Decade is seen standing motionless without doing anything, suspisions are flying through this young bridemaid's mind (including mine for that matter) with regards to who it is, what it is and how it got even got there in the first place?

We then shift our focus towards present day and the sexy Bride's maid from the apparent Rider war wakes up and admits that "it's only a dream" what the ****? That sexy Bride's maid look-a-like is one of the main characters *anime falls*

Soon after that, an angry mob attacks her...uh...father...I think...or something like that. He looks a bit...pervy if I do say so myself (XD). They show him pictures of random public members which may or may not connect to the episode plot nor the series. Great start so far.

Decade's human character is introduced (which I have now completely forgot his name) and we find that the pictures is his doing...or is it?* Soon after that, the bride's maid and Decade gets seperated by a inter-dimensional barrier and we see Kiva telling him to hurry up and find the Henshin device so that the audience can all see you using your awesome gear in action. He throws a "wtf?" look after Kiva disappears then goes through different shields and realises that the scenery changes anytime he walks through this...inter-dimensional shield.

Meanwhile all the monsters from the past Kamen Rider series makes an explosive appearance and causes the usual "I'm better than you" attacks and explosions. The imagins appear and scare the living crap outta everyone (well...they try to >_>). The bride's maid beasts Decade by finding the Henshin device, fate happens and they meet up for the second time, she gets attacked and passes over the henshin device to Decade and transforms. fanboy brilliance achieved.

He uses those advent looking cards (from various KR shows() and transforms into Kabuto, Faiz and Hibiki just for this episode. Awesome.

Oh and I noticed something at the end, the paintings used in the house showing a suburban street of such, I take it near the end of every episode, Decade will go through those pictures and strut his stuff there or am I wrong? hehs, promising series so far, KUTGW!!

I dunno if I should rely on the RAW's or stick with the subs even through I got a fair idea what is going on in the RAW version anyway?

*I really need to grab hold of the subs when it is released >_>

[Urza Planeswalker]

I think we all need to see the sub after it's release but I will wanna see that episode again cause it's awesome. Here's another question. Think Decade will visit the other worlds in order or will it be changed and how many episodes will be dedicated to each world?

[Kaiser Zero]

(from HJU)

It's crisis!

[Ikusa]

It's hideous.

[Moriamur]

It is indeed... And yet... I can't help but say that he looks rather cool

[Kaiser Zero]

It's hideous.


>_> well then we'll know he'll spend more time as other riders. <_<

[Ikusa]

What happened to the good ol' days, when they were all grasshopper themed.

[Moriamur]

and sported a scarf...

Well next to the The First and The Next movies, those Riders are sadly in the past (even though not all where grasshopper based though)

[Kaiser Zero]

I don't mind they aren't since you can only see a grasshopper rider so many times... Then you'd be sick of them.

Would you have loved Kiva, Ixa and Saga if they were all grasshoppers?

[Moriamur]

hmmm... That I can not really answer truth be told... I mean if the story is good and the suit designs look interesting like Kiva looked like

[Ikusa]

Basically what Michel said, but I could see myself eventually growing tired of grasshopper theme series'.

[Moriamur]

That, and like I said. Not all the Riders from the Showa Era were grasshoppers, like V3 was based off of a Larve, or Stronger being a Kabuto Beetle. There was another Rider who was based off of a Moth (don't know which one though), and Amazon was basically a big lizard

[Kaiser Zero]

And there ya have the reason why they don't use grasshoppers. Unlike some shows who rehash the same theme it's good to break away from the monotony.

[Ikusa]

Komodo Dragon.

[Moriamur]

Indeed...

Btw, has anybody heard about this Kamen Rider G special?

[Ikusa]

Yeah, I've been reading about it on HJU. A bottle opener for a henshin belt. I MUST have one.


And there ya have the reason why they don't use grasshoppers. Unlike some shows who rehash the same theme it's good to break away from the monotony.

*cough* Super Sentai

[Kaiser Zero]

*cough* Super Sentai

That's who I was alluding to. >_>

[Moriamur]

Yeah, I've been reading about it on HJU. A bottle opener for a henshin belt. I MUST have one.

Jason... You and me both on that...

I WANT THAT BELT... AND SUIT!!!

I mean just add a scarf to Kamen Rider G and it looks like a Heisei version of a Showa era Rider...

...But now we are side tracking here XD

And here I was seriously praying that Decade won't get an Ultimate Form... IF this rumor is real

[Ikusa]

And, an apparent third rider.

[Moriamur]

Just watch, the name will start with the letter D (as in DCD... Decade, Crisis, D...?)

[Kaiser Zero]

Three riders for a show that's only suppose to have 30 episodes..... I'm not sure about one or the other. (and have to get in a new form as well.)

[Ikusa]

It's a lot to cram into 30 episodes. I smell a clusterphuck.

[Kaiser Zero]

I do to as well. So here's hoping the 30 episode rumor isn't true.

Michel you could be on to something.

[Moriamur]

I am afraid I am not, since it was in an old but recent interview that Decade will only get 30 episodes plus a movie which introduces to us the 11th Heisei era Rider...

But like a great man once told me... We shall see

[Sonic]

Have I started watching Kamen Rider at the wrong moment or something?

[Kaiser Zero]

No Rich you haven't, Decade is an anniversary season. Don't let this turn you way.

[Sonic]

As if I would do that XD

[John Marston]

Hate to be off topic but any rumors of this 11th rider?

[Moriamur]

only rumor is that he is rumored to show up in the Decade movie, but that his series won't start till some Months later on (next year)

All I know is that it is just that, a rumor... Along with basically all the original actors showing up to reprise their roles for the last time in said Decade movie

[S.I.C]

um.....was there any important point to Decades gear being in Kabuto world?

[Kaiser Zero]

Guess we'll have wait and see.

[Kaiser Zero]

See Decade does get his own powers.... Overly powerful, powers... But powers none the less...

I still love him anyway!

[S.I.C]

so when "Wataru" is talking to Decade and tell him that things have to be destroyed to be created does he mean that Decade has to defeat the fake riders to bring back the real ones?

or is there something else to it?

[Crystal Ranger]

I'm not too thrilled about the look of Crisis, but then again I didn't care for the look of Decade until I saw it in action.

[Trecheon]

Just watched the first ep... DAMN that blew my mind. As was mentioned earlier by some others, It far exceeded my expectations.

How about that first scene with all the Riders at war, huh?

[Sonic]

so when "Wataru" is talking to Decade and tell him that things have to be destroyed to be created does he mean that Decade has to defeat the fake riders to bring back the real ones?

or is there something else to it?
It was suggested by Wataru that the REAL riders would continue battling in the current world that was nearly blown up near the end of the episode. I have a funny feeling Decade would be fighting fake ones, don't quote me on that.

How about that first scene with all the Riders at war, huh?
I have a funny feeling that the dream Natsumi had will become reality (hopefully near the end of the season), again don't quote me on that >_>

[Remus Lupin]

Okay - so Decade had some things that really blew my mind and overall I really enjoyed the first episode a lot. However, it still seems a little weird to me so I'll reserve my judgement until I've seen between 5 and 10 episodes. I also hope that Decade is not having to destroy real riders. That would suck. I will say that this has reignited my desire to someday actually watch Hibiki. I've given it a try before but couldn't get past the first episode for some reason. I'll try it again someday when I get a little more hard drive space freed up. I only have 8 GB left out of my 1TB.

[Trecheon]

I will say that this has reignited my desire to someday actually watch Hibiki. I've given it a try before but couldn't get past the first episode for some reason.

I'll agree with you on that point. I also tried watching the first ep of Hibiki (All because of Decade, may I add...) But... The first episode just didn't hold my attention. Which, as I assume is true of most people on this board, is rare with Kamen Rider. If only it didn't focus so much on that damn kid...

Who's with me on looking forward to Decade Vs. Kabuto?

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Hibiki's first episode is admittedly a hard watch, even for fans of the series.


Later episodes find a better balance between the boy and the Oni action. And the later half has some reallllyyyy great rider action, but adds something that pisses a lot of the early adopters of the series off. *Shakes fist*

[Ikusa]

Hibiki gets less credit than it deserves.

[S.I.C]

Who's with me on looking forward to Decade Vs. Kabuto?

HELLS YEAH!!!!

Thats the one fight I can't wait to see.

[Crystal Ranger]

That will prove to be an interesting episode. Just how will Decade fair against the man who walks heavens path?

Plus I think we’ll learn more about Decade and his past because I find it rather important that his buckle and cards were found in the Kabuto World. Not to mention that by that point we’ll be near the half way point of the series (unless the 30 episode rumor is true) which is when we tend to start and learn a few things that are normally on going plots.

Was it really Kabuto's world though? I mean it could be, but it looks more like the world was becoming unstable as it "ended" (thus the teleporting swipes and rapid change of weather) and the Kaijin invading.


Also, Decade would win


It's his show >_>

yeah at first it was Hibiki world then it warped to Kabuto world but I can't tell if it was still Hibiki world when she found the gear or if it was already Kabuto world.....but whatever XD

If the Kabuto Decade fights is a fake Kabuto...yeah he would win...but if it was the real Kabuto it would be a epic fight! I don't want to say who I would want to win >_><_<....lol

[Abare Killer]

:abakill ...Wow, my head is about to explode from the awesomeness of that ep. I am SO pumped for this show! The first ep was terribly confusing, but most first eps of Kamen Rider shows are, at least to me. But if it's going to be that epic all the time, this might be the best show ever!

I realy wish I had seen Kuuga, because the parts in the Kuuga world are going to confuse me. And yeah, I guess I'll have to watch Hibiki. I watched a few and wasn't interested, but I guess I should give it a chance, ne?


Who's with me on looking forward to Decade Vs. Kabuto?

YES, I can't wait to see! While Tiz is right that Decade will probably win, if it wasn't his show, Tendou would kick his ass. >_> :abakill

[Nightingale]

Kabuto vs Decade would rock. So would Kiva vs Decade!

Oh, and Ryuki appearing for an instant in the mirror was badass.

It was great to see Wataru there. I hope he becomes Kiva.

[S.I.C]

I noticed something...is there any relivance to always seeing Kiva and Ryuki together in episode 1?

in the opening scene Kiva and Ryuki are riding on top of castle Droan.

in the opening song Kiava and Ryuki are standing next to each other

also Ryuki and Kiva where the only other riders we see in episode 1 after the opening....besides Kuuga

[Nightingale]

They're Best Friends Forever :)

I noticed they tried to pair different Riders up according to their theme. Zolda was riding onboard the bull train (no idea what it's called) from Den-O, which I thought was cool.

Ryuki is dragon-themed, and Kiva's vampire-themed. Vampires are often mixed in with birds of prey and dragons. Hence Kiva's Flight Form. And Castle Dran itself is like a big dragon. So it makes sense that they'd be paired together with those similar themes.

They really put a lot of thought into this opening episode. I'm loving it.

[Mr. Blue]

The first episode was awesome! :D

[Nightingale]

Decade should go to Dragon Knight's world.

"Hey, who are you? I just wanna ask you some QUESTIONS!!!!"

"....Nani?"

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Decade 2 Raw Out

http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=48723

[ForeverRed]

I LOVED episode 1 and 2. I thought it was incredible and the new Kuuga is my favorite character. It was nice to see Wataru again in episode 1.

Man, I need to watch Kuuga and Hibiki! >.<

[Nightingale]

****, the Hoppers entrance was beyond badass!

[ForeverRed]

****, the Hoppers entrance was beyond badass!

I agree! :)

And it has been confirmed that Hidenori Tokuyama is back as Kick Hopper.

[Nightingale]

So the actors are actually gonna appear? So would that mean that Hidenori Tokuyama filmed late Go-On and the episode(s) of Decade he's in side-by-side?

[Kaiser Zero]

Episode two added to the main page. I'll have my review of both 1 and 2 up later!

[Sonic]

****, the Hoppers entrance was beyond badass!
Those were hoppers? o.O

Are they both dead yet...? >_>

[Nightingale]

You haven't seen Kabuto, have you?

[Sonic]

Nope :no:

[Ring Slinger]

Ya know, I haven't watched much since Kabuto, before I watched Decade ep one. Now I can appreciate it for what it is and was estatic to see all the Riders that I knew from Kuuga, Agito, Hibiki ,Ryuki, Faiz and Kabuto. Then once I burned through Den O and watched it again I got a huge freakin kick of seeing Zolda on Zeroliner. I'm lovin Decade so far and I will continue to watch other series so I don't get confused XD or at least so I know who I missed XD! Oh and yay for Kick and Punch Hoppers showing up!

[Ikusa]

I'm questioning whether or not that was Hidenori Tokuyama's voice.

[Nightingale]

Apparently, the original actors were credited. However since I cannot read Japanese, I can't cofirm this,

[John Marston]

Finally watched Decade... And I like what I see! I like how Tsukasa questioned how he knew how to fight which I'm sure as we roll along we'll get an explanation. I do like seeing Kuuga back but the new Yuusuke is a whiny bitch... >_> Polar opposite to Godai which I'm sure is what they're going for.

His rider kick? Hawt is all I can say. I look forward to the next ep!

Why do the cards blank out after he transforms into the rider?

[Nightingale]

Wataru explained why in the first episode.

[John Marston]

Really? Then I totally missed it.

[Trecheon]

So far, having watched the second ep, I have several more questions/Ideas

For one, the dude who was in the tan trenchcoat(Which was a total trip, for a second, I thought it was Sakurai-san from Den-O) : Is he a guy from Kuuga? If not, I have this odd idea that he may have instigated a fight between Riders... After all, Kuuga mentioned that he was told that Decade would apear, and also started their fight.

And, although totaly off-topic: I would not be supprised if there's a DecadeLiner by the time they get to Den-O. XD

I also don't go along with the whole idea that the belt was found in Kabuto's world. It seems to me that it's more of a warping of the fabric of time and space. Note how, in a similar way, Decade and Kuuga were unnafected when the Hopper Bros. showed up. But, again, that's just a theory

[Sonic]

I hate theories btw, too compilicated >_>

Yashiro-San :(

...and Wataru's a kid for the next episode? like wtf? O.O

Oh and the Hoppers were awesome btw. Good episode all round ^_^

[Ring Slinger]

Ya know...Since i don't care too much bout the previous series I don't mind that it's not...ya know..that guy who was pointing at the moon in the first ep >_> <_< :-p

[S.I.C]

wow ep three was cool!

the fight with that hoppers was great XD..."are you laughing at my partner?!" and then when they went into the warped and we saw Delta and the other rider from Ryuki ^_^!!!!

oh and getting to see Tsukasa get his ass kicked by over whelming numbers was....well it was funny to me XD

okay but WTH!!!!! Kuuga changing into a bettle was weird....so all the riders will change I take it....

I've seen the toys but I didn't want to believe it till I saw it **sigh**...

all in all good ep I'm loving Decade!

>_><_<......what was up with that guy? evil much?

[Ring Slinger]

I thought that was the guy from Ryuki! I knew I shoulda watched that series more closely XD! Also yeah ..Kugga all of a sudden becomes an action figure...thing...hover board deal. Well...that's not disturbing at all >_> <_<.

[red mystic ninja]

You mean Kamen Rider Tiger

[Ikusa]

Episode 3 had a little too much CG for my liking. I kind of frowned at the whole Kuuga changing into a beetle. Nonetheless, it was still a good episode. Very sad. The Hopper's didn't stick around, which kind of sucked, but we got a glance of Kaixa and some Ryuki Rider.

[John Marston]

What up wit dat beetle?

[Kaiser Zero]

All riders he comes into contact will end up like that... I don't know how I feel about that.

[Ring Slinger]

I'd laugh if Faiz turned into a giant 5....what I would! <_< >_>

Tho' yeah I agree with you Jayse, it is a bit..well strange to say the least.

[heeroyuy236]

The torrent for episode 4 raw is up. - http://www.anirena.com/viewtracker.p...nload&id=19657 (http://www.anirena.com/viewtracker.php?action=download&id=19657)

[Kaiser Zero]

Now Decade's turn!

Okay I checked out the raw for Decade 4. Tsukasa gonna have to have a bigger holder for riders with multiple forms.

It was pretty awesome when he fought Wataru Dogga vs Titan, Garaulu vs Dragon. Then used Dogga's hammer for both form weapons.

Well i'll have more to say when I have subs.

[Ring Slinger]

Yeah I thought that was an awesome fight. I personally love how Yuuske showed up XD! I also kinda like mini Wataru as it's a different world and all, maybe it's set in the past of that world? After all going from Kuuga's world in bout 2000..sorta, and to Kiva's world right away? ...Maybe time travel as well as world travel? ...Anywho I loved how everything worked out..especially the violin stuff XD that's always been a fave of of mine from Kiva.

[heeroyuy236]

Decade 05 RAW: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8FF1FP5J

[Kaiser Zero]

That was fast.

It looks like the next stop is Ryuki's world. (boo, I was hoping for Blade oh well.)

[heeroyuy236]

Thoughts
Looks like Kivahla is joining them as well... I didn't really pay attention as much as I did the first couple of episodes, so I probably have to rewatch it again to see how she changes sides... but I have a feeling that since Yuusuke and Kivahla has joined the Decade bandwagon, I think Abyss/Avis might as well.

Episode summaries for the Ryuki arc.
Episode 6:
Title- N/A
Airs- 3/1/09
Summary-

Tsukasa and the others head to Ryuuki's world, where Natsmu unfortunately becomes a suspect in the murder of the "Atashi Journal" Editor. Tsukasa reveals that in this world, the Kamen Riders are lawyers who try their cases by fighting each other, in the "Kamen Rider Trial System." The winner decides the accused's fate. One of the lawyers is Shinji, Kamen Rider Ryuki. Also, a new rider, Kamen Rider Abyss, appears, who wasn't in the television (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=31157#) series...




Episode 7:
Title- N/A
Airs- 3/8/09
Summary-

Tsukasa becomes a lawyer to save Natsumi. He transforms into Decade, and the form rides into Kiva to fight Ryuki and Knight. However, Abyss appears, and a big fight ensues. It is suspected that Ren is the real culprit in the murder, but Shinji can't believe this. He finds Knight fighting Kamen Rider Odin, but why?

WHAT HAPPENS IN MARCH?:

-With the backdrop in the photo-studio changing to that of DragRedder, our heroes are transported into the Ryuki no Sekai

-Tsukasa is given a suit, and becomes a lawyer. His clothes (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?p=531439#) changing are a hint to him of his job in whatever world he lands in.

-Tsukasa fights Kamen Rider Knight as Kamen Rider Kiva

-In 6-7, Kamen Rider Abyss appears in Ryuki World. His Advent Cards include Sword Vent, Strike Vent, and Final Vent. The cards are read via the AbyssVisor. His Contract Monsters are AbyssRusher and AbyssHammer.

-Kamen Rider Ryuki/Shinji is a cameraman for the Atashi Journal who becomes a rider to investigate the murder of his editor. Kamen Rider Knight/Ren is an ex-journalist who covered stories with Shinji at one time.

-Zolda, Scissors, Tiger, Impaler, Verde, Odin and others appear to battle in the Mirror World

-In Ryuki World, lawyers, defenders and prosecutors are the only ones qualified to be riders. The deciding opinion on a trial is the decision of the rider who remains. Because Natsumi is suspected as the murder of Reiko Momoi, editor of the Atashi Journal, a trial begins.

-More is revealed about Narutaki's prophecy of Decade as the Destroyer

-The Atashi Jounral mostly focuses on the Riders. Such titles include "Saru demo Wakaru!? Kamen Rider Trial", "Kamen Rider Data File", and "Your Favorite Rider". Info such as sucess rate for trials are included (Scissors has 6.8 %)

-Kamada, the sub-chief editor of the Atashi Journal, transforms into Kamen Rider Abyss. Secrets surround this man, including the fact that he is, in reality, the Paradoxa Undead...

All information comes from Dukemon.

[Sonic]

The ending to Decade 5 is just random.

[Otoya Kurenai]

Random, maybe...but I do like that Yuusuke is now part of Tsukasa's team. :D Even though Kivala is a bit weird. :/ Still waiting to see where they go from here!

[Ring Slinger]

Yeah Kivala's a bit strange, but it's kinda cool...Maybe they'll pick up people from other worlds and form a team?

All in al tho' I really like the different twists on the worlds. Whiel it's not the same ones as what we know and love it's still a nice refreshing take, even if they use slightly similar yet different versions of the same characters. ...I just hope Tendou and Ryoutaro are teh same people >_> <_<

[Otoya Kurenai]

I wouldn't hold my breath over it, Jud. I mean, it's true they've got the same people to voice Kick Hopper and Punch Hopper as well as Kaixa to do the voices for those suits..still, I wish they'd do more with those, if they got the right actors.

But I like how the riders have been executed so far. Nothing too out of place.

[S.I.C]

Well I got a new toku mag and it had some interesting pic for Decade including Decades new rider who's name is not Crisis but Kamen Rider Dieno!

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/dmaster91977/DSCF3165.jpg

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/dmaster91977/DSCF3169.jpg

and Faiz and Blades final forms the Faiz Blaster and Blades.....well blade XD

http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn239/dmaster91977/DSCF3170.jpg

[Kaiser Zero]

Awesome scans, Dustin!

[Ikusa]

Nice scans indeed. Actually it's Diend, and I don't see this look of his growing on me anytime soon.

[S.I.C]

yeah I was wondering if that was a D or a O at the end so I just went with O XD

Diend......odd name

and thanks guys

[Ikusa]

I believe it literally means "The End". This is just a guess though.

[Otoya Kurenai]

I dunno, I like the suit itself but the helmet could have used some work. Of course, that's just me. Either way, Diend's debut should be good, even though this series has more than enough riders already. :P

[Ring Slinger]

Yeah I'm with you on the helmet Rob. I'm not so sure I'm groovin on it, then again I didn't think I'd like Decade so much an then I saw him henshin XD! So I reserve judgement until further notice.

[Crystal Ranger]

I keep wanting to see Diend preform Zolda's Final Vent for some reason.

Please tell me I'm not the only one here.

[Otoya Kurenai]

Jud, you're probably right. We can't judge on appearances alone. The original King from Kiva looked a bit questionable but he turned out to be a character not to mess with. So Diend might be good.

Crystal Ranger, I'm itching to see whatever kickass moves that Diend can pull off. Maybe we'll see Decade go at it with him?

[Crystal Ranger]

It has already been said that he can form ride into Ouja. That right there sells him for me.

[S.I.C]

Diend has a lot of the movie rider cards like Kamen Rider Ray from Kiva and Kamen Rider Kabuki from Hibiki.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Can I just say...WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST? I mean I like Decade so far. Finally catching up and just finished 4. I'm so confused I think my head's gonna explode.

[Otoya Kurenai]

I feel the same as you, Banjo. I've only seen Kiva, Den-O and Kabuto the whole way through so I know I'm going to be confused for the most part. :P But hey, they made it so that both new and old fans can get into it so who am I to complain, right?

[Urza Planeswalker]

Yeah I mean I like it it's just young Wataru throws me off..

[Otoya Kurenai]

That was different, I agree. That and Yuusuke's drastically different character from the original Kuuga, I guess we're getting sort of alternate universe versions of our beloved heroes. :/ That's a bit out of nowhere.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Maybe that's why Decade's gotta visit the different worlds? I DON'T KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! I thought it'd be the established characters but something was different. NOT A FREAKING TOTALLY DIFFERENT KIVA WORLD WHERE WATARU'S A KID :(

[Otoya Kurenai]

I can only imagine how Kabuto will be...but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. XP

And Kivala is still a freaky small bat! I dunno about that one.

[Ring Slinger]

Ya know I personally dont mind little wataru, especially if you take into account that "older" wataru knew Decade and Tsukasa and infact told him what to do an all that for the most part. So ...it actualyl makes a bit of "timey wimey" sense...to quote Doctor Who.

[AlphaRanger]

Well Im up to ep 6 and im liking it. Kinda weird that the "stories" are different. 555, ryuki hikiki and kabuto are going to be interesting

[Urza Planeswalker]

Dang...What an episode I mean I'm confused even more now but I wish they'd make those world posters backgrounds or something. There so freaking sweet :D.

[Sonic]

Right this is pissing me right off...
The guy who tells the Kamen Riders that Decade is the devil whose name I seem to of forgotten is undead O.O Like seriously, if your gonna kill off a character then have the decency to kill him/her off properly, not just adding an "undead" tag to him/her which slightly fucks up any series (including this one) in my book :moop:
>_>

<_<

>_>

[Urza Planeswalker]

Also the Prophet is not the undead guy. No one even attacked him yet. As for the other guy. Well I mean he was a Blade character and no one sealed him so of course he's gonna live. Now what I wonder is will he use his Advent deck in Blade's world or just his true form?

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Right this is pissing me right off...

<_<

You got to be kidding me. . .

1) Have you even WATCHED Blade?

and

2) It's a brilliant in two ways: It leads into Blade's World, plus it further shows that the worlds are getting fucked up.

[Urza Planeswalker]

I gotta agree with Tiz. Also who's ready for an even bigger combo of worlds in upcoming episodes? Also here's a quick thought. If they just do two episode per world that's what just 20 episodes plus the first so what else they gonna do?

[Sonic]

1) Have you even WATCHED Blade?
Decade is my first Kamen Rider show that I am watching so no...


2) It's a brilliant in two ways: It leads into Blade's World, plus it further shows that the worlds are getting fucked up.
See above, I'll shut up now >_>

[Urza Planeswalker]

You should check out Blade man. It's the one I'm watching other than Decade at the moment and dang it's freaking awesome :D. An actual bike battle. I haven't seen that in a while.

[Sonic]

Are there decent subs for it? I take it TVN has done that in the past?

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Yeah, check out other rider shows man. In fact it might be worth it to rewatch Decade after watching a bunch of other series.


It'll probably be like watching a whole different series at that point.


Edit:

TV-N has Complete Series subs for Kamen Rider Faiz-Kiva and as you can probably see, are working on Ryuki as they work on Decade.

They have done the first 4 episodes of Kuuga a LOOOONNGGGG time ago, if they decided to pick it back up, it'll probably be at episode one.

Agito is the only Heisei series they haven't touched, but look up Cruel Angel's Agito subs. It's pretty decent, and worth paying the guy for the episodes on DVD.

[Urza Planeswalker]

That's what I figured. Anyways I can't wait to see the Blade world. I mean if it's a series I've watched or am watching I take more interest in the story I've noticed. Still that Ryuki storyline has got me wanting to watch the original Ryuki.

[Remus Lupin]

Are there decent subs for it? I take it TVN has done that in the past?

TV-N has completed Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O and Kiva and they are over halfway through Agito. I got into Kamen Rider shows thanks to them and Faiz. I suggest you watch either Faiz or Blade first.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Haven't checked out anything about Faiz really. What's it about? But yeah I wonder what'll happen after Decade visits each world.

[Sonic]

OK everybody that gets a chance check out Gackt's official MV to "Journey Through The Decade" on Youtube, it's immense.

[Ikusa]

The song is excellent, but the PV is just too slow paced for my liking.

[Urza Planeswalker]

That was seriously awesome. Anyways here's a real Decade question so as Tiz pointed out the actual riders are holding back the wave of destruction currently most likely anyways. Say Decade is succesful in each attempt to "destroy" each world. That's only about 20 some episodes. I just can't wait to see what else happens and I mean if there is gonna be other riders. Can I just say this is turning out to be one....WILD AND CRAZY RIDE! (Play on words heh)

[Sonic]

20 episodes? So what will happen to the other 10 if they do them?

[Moriamur]

TV-N has completed Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O and Kiva and they are over halfway through Agito. I got into Kamen Rider shows thanks to them and Faiz. I suggest you watch either Faiz or Blade first.

Uh... I think you mean Ryuki and not Agito, Matt

Especially since Agito was subbed by Cruel Angel like Tiz said (btw Tiz, I am actually torrenting and uploading the subs from CA... Hey don't look at me, I just found the torrents by dumb luck)

[Mr. Blue]

Decade is great so far :D

[Sonic]

It's confusing me to be honest with you :moop:

[Nightingale]

It's confusing me to be honest with you :moop:

Thi is your first rider series, correct?

[Sonic]

Thi is your first rider series, correct?
Yep. Currently downloading and starting Agito soon (sometime this weekend).

[Nightingale]

That'd be why it's confusing for you then. This is an anniversary series.

[S.I.C]

does anyone else think that there cheap for not making Kivarla computer animated any more? I mean making her beong a little toy just doesn't look right IMO.....

but man oh man Blades world.......what a odd place. The whole level system is just kinda messed up to me and the guy that plays Blade is meh....but thats how all the main riders seem to be like for the "worlds".

man why doesn't Yuusuke Henshin any more? He did in Kiva world but now he doesn't.....wtf I wanted to see morw Kuuga!!!!

god I still can't wait for Kabuto world >_><_<

[Noel Kreiss]

Aww man, I'm loving Decade right now. But any clue on when Crisis will debut?

[Kaiser Zero]

Crisis isn't a rider it's Denied and he shows up next week.

[Noel Kreiss]

Oh thanks Jayse.

[RadoGoji]

As much as I'm enjoying Decade, there are a few things that irk me. For example, anyone else noticing a pattern with the way the story arcs progress?

First Episode:
-Tsukasa and friends show up in the story arc's world.
-Yuusuke and Natsumi seemingly go off and try to do stuff to help out Tsukasa, like gathering information about how the world works.
-Meanwhile, Tsukasa dives head first into meeting the world's main rider by showing off in battle.
-Decade transforms into the main rider of the previous visited universe.
-Tsukasa runs into complications, which involve the main rider somehow.
-Another fight seems to ensue, and Decade uses his Dimension Kick to kill a random monster.
-An evil rider of sorts appears, a fight breaks out, and the episode ends.

Second Episode:
-The fight goes on for a little bit before the aforementioned complications continue.
-A solution to the complications comes up, usually with help from Yuusuke.
-Decade and the main rider come to an understanding in the "final battle" against their antagonist, who was behind the complications in the first place, and Decade regains the powers of the main rider's cards.
-Decade uses the Final Form Ride card for the main rider, and defeats the antagonist.
-After saying goodbyes to the main rider and other protagonists (if applicable), Tsukasa and friends move on to the next world.

Yeah, a little formulaic if you ask me.

Also, why doesn't Yuusuke help out in battle be turning into Kuuga? There apparently aren't any dimensional barriers keeping him from transforming, since he was able to henshin just fine in Kiva's world, but since then, he hasn't done anything but make a few appearances and help find solutions to story-intensive complications (Wataru becoming King in Kiva's World and eliminating Ren from being a suspect in Ryuki's World, for example). Other than that respect, he seems kind of useless in my opinion, and shouldn't have come along in the first place.

Then there's the way they're executing the "multiple worlds" thing. I know that all the Rider Worlds being shown are alternate universes, with Kuuga's seemingly being the least alternate as far as I know. The plot seems the same from what I've read, just with different names for the characters. I could be mistaken, though, as I haven't seen Kuuga (nor have I seen Agito or the later two-thirds of Ryuki). But when Kiva's world came up with the whole "Fangires and humans getting along and Wataru being a kid" thing, I got confused. First off (and I know damn well I'm not the first one to say this :p ), what was the point of putting Wataru Kurenai in the first episode if he's not even going to be Kiva for when Kiva's world showed up? Then we go on to changing the Rider Wars to "juries" for court cases and BOARD to a huge corporation. Kamen Riders are common knowledge, when they're normally kept secret for reasons usually specific to the show. Also, they seem to all be called "Kamen Riders" no matter what the show, though only three shows I remember (Ryuki, Blade, and Kabuto) actually called them that throughout the show, and hell, some shows (like Hibiki) didn't even use the term "Rider."

Now, alternate universes always fascinate me, and they may be using this to segway into something along the lines of "something messed the worlds up so that they turned out this way and they should be the way they were when the shows first aired," but I think they should have just gone for a straight-up interpretation of what the shows actually were. I think it might go over well more with fans, and provide kind of an overview for those who hadn't seen those shows before. Blade was the first Kamen Rider series I saw, and when I saw the alternate Blade universe, it just felt kind of wrong. I don't hate the fact that they made the worlds alternate universes to what they really are, as it makes for interesting storytelling, but I don't think it was the best road that they could've taken, either.

Despite all this nit-picking, I still like the show. It may all come together differently in end, but this is just my two cents for now.

PS- Sorry about the big blocks of text. I get carried away sometimes, especially when writing. :p

[Kamen Rider Joker]

This will probably be a long reply of my personal views on your points. I want to take the time first, saying thank you for having such a well thought out nitpicks and grasping the basic concept of the show, something I think half the people who complain about the show don't have. And as for the counter-points, I like debates, I'm not aiming to make you seem foolish.

Nothing wrong with being Forumlatic, especially in a Sunday morning Children's TV show. But we do got the likes of Diend and his summon riders coming up to shake things up slightly, but probably nothing too far from the formula.

Especially when this is such a fun formula to begin with.

Yuusuke is very important to the show actually, and it might be helpful that he's not transforming into Kuuga alot. Sure It will be nice to see more of Kuuga yes, but a lot of praise I hear about Kuuga from people isn't just "Kuuga is strong." It's how wonderful of a person Godai was in the first place. While Onodera is not Godai yes, He has become more like how Godai was as a human being after the Kuuga arc. And it's more often than not Yuusuke to help bring about the change that Tsukasa is brought to worlds for. It's like Tsukasa destroys how the world worked before, Yuusuke sets it on the path of becoming a world more like the one's we saw in that year of Kamen Rider to begin with.

As for the out there difference's in the world, I think that's the point. Something is happening to the world's to make them traverse the wrong path, and it's up to Decade to bring them back to how they are suppose to work. The "Wataru" in Episode one was probably the last to be effected by the alternation of the worlds (Expect for one series which will probably make everyone groan.). But think of it this way: Onodera was fighting for personal reason while Godai always fought to protect everyone's smile. Wataru was forced into his personal struggle at a much younger age than he should have been. Decade Shinji was hesitant about fighting period, expect when he was mad at Ren, while Ryuki Shinji was gung ho about fighting the Mirror Monsters to protect people, while Hesitant to fight any of the riders, especially Ren. Kenzaki always had the noble goal of protect people as Blade, while Decade Kazuma was to in love with his position.

So I think the show has been hitting all the right marks personally.

[RadoGoji]

Now that TV-Nihon's released Episode 9 and I'm all caught up, I'm a little better equipped to continue the discussion, mainly with Jiraiya, since he's the only one who's responded to my post (probably because I don't post here much :p )

On the subject about the "formula":

Good point; kid's shows are more formulaic, but when I started watching Kamen Rider (as I said before, I started with Blade), it drew me in because of how un-formulaic it was (or at least seemed in comparison to Super Sentai, the only other show I was watching at the time). Instead of being episodical like Sentai, the episodes flowed into each other and were all part of a large story. Sure there were two or three episode long story arcs placed here and there, but for the most part, all the episodes were relevant to each other, unlike Sentai, which had new problems every week that were solved within the span of the episode. When Den-O came around, it turned more episodical, making it seem more like Sentai, and less like the Kamen Rider I had seen at the time (Blade, Kabuto and Faiz), and though I loved Den-O to death, I didn't want Kamen Rider to lose it's identity and become somewhat more of a "Sentai-clone." Decade has taken up this formula more than Den-O did, and while I don't hate it, I do wish it was more like the Kamen Rider shows I started with.

On a side note, Episode 9 seems to have broken the mold a little by letting Decade fight as Ryuki for a few minutes, but everything else has gone as layed out. :p

I see where you're coming from with Yuusuke, and I guess he isn't as useless as I thought he was. I don't know how Godai was in comparison to Decade Yuusuke, other than how you said (as I mentioned before, I haven't seen Kuuga), so I guess I may have expected too much out of him, or something. While I don't expect him to fight all the time (and thus be stealing the spotlight a bit from Tsukasa), I'd at least see him transform and fight when it's appropriate. In Episode 9, he gets attacked by the Paradoxa Undead guy while he and Kazuma are snooping around the lab, and he doesn't do anything. All I could think of when I saw this scene was "Transform and fight back, you fool!" Now that I think about it, I should've given him the benefit of the doubt since he was in an ambush, but I guess it was just another chance for Yuusuke to shine just passed up.

Now, for the more interesting developments:

DiEnd, despite looking absolutely ridiculous, seems to be quite an interesting fellow. I'm speculating that one of two things will happen:

1. Decade wasn't the one who's meant to destroy the worlds (seeing as he hasn't done so to any of the worlds he's visited), but rather DiEnd was, and trenchcoat guy is trying to make Decade look bad and keep DiEnd off the radar (hell, it's worked up until now). A bit of a stretch, but it's plausible.

2. Decade and DiEnd are supposed to be partners, but Decade can't remember what he's supposed to be doing for one reason or another, DiEnd is seeing that as a detriment to their plan.

Another side note: The beginning of Episode 9 threw me off so much I just had to mention it. Decade, Garren, and Leangle are all fighting Chalice and Paradoxa Undead when who should show up to fight them all?

...Todoroki. :O_o;

I thought to myself, "Seriously... Todoroki?" The other random riders to show up to pwn Decade and pals were the Hoppers and Kaixa, who were for the most part all-around douches in their respective shows, and could even be considered antagonists for the most part. Then, here comes Todoroki, who was not only a very caring person (and the loveable goof) but was an outright supporting protagonist. Not that it wasn't nice to see Todoroki again, but it kind of seems weird that he'd be on DiEnd's summoned rider list. If I were the one coming up with that list, I would've put out Ouja or Saga or something to that effect, but not Todoroki. Oh, well. :huh:

[Ikusa]

Diend's debut was rather impressive and I'm digging the henshin device, but I'm just not digging his look. He looks like a walking PS2.

[Ring Slinger]

Diend's debut was rather impressive and I'm digging the henshin device, but I'm just not digging his look. He looks like a walking PS2.
To quote a friend of mine " RADIATOR MAN!!" ...Seriously when I think about it he's a cross between a bug and a Radiator..sounds like a power rangers monster honestly XD!'

However I'm diggin on his henshin and his ability to summon other riders. I wonder if he can turn into them or just summon them? At any rate it's an interesting counterpoint to Tsukasa.

[Ikusa]

I don't believe he posesses the ability to transform into other Riders. However, I'm most likely wrong, since I have not been keeping up with rumors. I'm surprised at how he's capable of summoning the movie Riders. I figured such an ability would be saved for the Decade movie Rider.

[Ring Slinger]

This is true, however I was thiking about it last night. Since Decade is travelling to alternate universes, or worlds with different stories if you will, perhaps that's what Diend's doing? Reaching into worlds with different stories and using the Riders? Like with the movie riders being a prime example of his power. Similar yet different from Tsukasa's.

[Konvicted]

Faiz needs more wrist-flicking. :D

Not to mention the rogue trio? (Kiba and friends? Especially Kaido)

Btw, anyone noticed that the Dragon Orphenoch got nerfed badly? Last time I checked, he should've beaten Decade's ass in his speed form. Tsukasa makes Tendou look human, IMO (not that it detracts from his badass-ery) XD

[Urza Planeswalker]

I just got caught up as well. Saw 10 at the convention but had to see 8 and 9 and I loved how they did Blade's world and not sure if anyone has checked the actual Decade site but for the next episode it shows Diend summoning Kiva by the look of things. Still I really like Diend in action especially that Henshin and Final Attack Ride :D.

[Ring Slinger]

I've seen 11 with Diend summoning Kiva to fight against Ryuuga. Tsukasa has a " WHUT?!" look on his face XD. It's fun stuff, I can't wait to see the subs so I can understand it more <_< >_>

[Urza Planeswalker]

Ah awesome. Still I can't wait to see Agito's world!!!!

[Ring Slinger]

I need to catch up on my Agito before I'm really ready for that XD

[Urza Planeswalker]

Ah alright. But yeah the Faiz episode is what has gotten me into Faiz and so far I really like it. Also the fact there was a Hibiki rider in an earlier episode and I recognized him made me laugh XD.

[Ikusa]

You can buy Tsukasa's camera here (http://www.superheadz.com/bbf/).

Anywho, people on IRC are blabbing about a third Rider called Desaint. Take it with a grain of salt though, because there's a high chance it's just a BS rumor.

[Urza Planeswalker]

A third rider? Why would we even need that? Who's he or she gonna summon? I mean I thought Diend was gonna be the one with the movie riders/other riders such as Gills or Ixa or...Ya know the secondary kind of riders.

[Ring Slinger]

..De Saint?....as long as there's no De Feat or something O_o..Three riders for Decade would be insane and just a bit..strange. It's got enough as it is with all the 9 worlds XD

[S.I.C]

I gotta say that the first part of Faiz world moved kinda fast......

also what is Diend deal with wanting the Faiz belt? Also lol at the lucky clover XD

did anyone else notice that when Diend does his final attack the "barrel" of the gun is card and the cards start at Kuuga and go to Kiva.....but when Rey and Kabuki go into the blast they don't go to there card section........I thought that was odd XD

but yeah >_>

I'm really enjoying Decade but it's moving kinda fast and I think that's why some people are losing interest........

[Ring Slinger]

I don't think it's moving fast at all really. It's picking up speed at a nice pace more so because they now have a clue about what they're supposed to do, things are just getting shaken up with DiEnd being there.

It sucks that people are loosing interest, but hey their loss is everyone elses gain.

[S.I.C]

"Destroy everything, connect everything."

[Urza Planeswalker]

DANG!!! That last episode of Decade was freaking awesome. A beast for a beast!

[Ring Slinger]

What got me is that for the first time a name switch around/ mash up worked with teh character. Shouichi Ashikawa is obviously Agito but he's Gills as well, and if I'm right he's also the first G3-X. Which of coures means he's all of my fave Agito Riders in one super combination XD...Sorta.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Yeah I'm pretty sure he was the original G3-X user in Decade's version till he started changing but since he's only becoming Gills probably cause he's fighting the transformation. That's still freaking awesome. Anyways wonder what DiEnd would do with the G3-X suit? He can't just put that in some suitcase XD. Also silly question but isn't the Orga and Psyga belts from Faiz movie items where the Orphenocs took over?

[Ring Slinger]

Yeah that's exactly where the belts are from. Then again it's an alternate universe anyways..and since there are movie only riders sh owing up in Decade I think it sorta works.

[chronotia archzenom]

Yeah that's exactly where the belts are from. Then again it's an alternate universe anyways..and since there are movie only riders sh owing up in Decade I think it sorta works.

Agreed

[Urza Planeswalker]

Ok this may sound silly but! I don't think DiEnd has the same kind of Kiva card as Decade cause when he summons Kiva he doesn't sound like the kid Wataru. Any thoughts?

[Moriamur]

a puppet that is controlled by DiEnd

[S.I.C]

so why do you guys think that DiEnd is trying to steal all the belts? Is he trying to give them back to the real riders because with Faiz he even says that the belt was made by a company to defeat Orphnochs.

I don't know I can't really peg what DiEnd is up too >_>.......

[Moriamur]

I think that DiEnd has said at the beginning of epi 11 that he is after the treasures of each world, thus refering to the strongest belt/weapon of the strongest Rider of each world,

Hence why he took the Emperor Belt/Orga Gear since according to the movie, the Orga gear/Emperor Belt is the most strongest belt in all of Faiz... Not counting Faiz's Blaster Form of course

As for why..? I have no idea, maybe to keep them around as trophies or something

[Urza Planeswalker]

Yeah but why the interest in the G3-X suit? Is it to make a joke out of it or to take it as a treasure? Course another movie item will probably show up G4 chip

[Ring Slinger]

Dude I didn't think about that! It so probably could!

[Kamen Rider Joker]

This weeks episode of Decade was great, Best use of a Final Form Ride in the whole series.

Next Week, The Episode of Decade that probably every one was was either waiting for or Dreading:


DEN-O, With the DEN-O cast (oddly, minus the riders. Toei is going to get hell for this probably)

Plus Possessed Natsumi, By 2 of Den-O's Imagine! Fear Urataros with BREASTS at his disposal.

[Ring Slinger]

XD!!! That's gonna be insane!!! Noow I gotta watch the new ep.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

The previous spoiler, yeah I made a mistake in it. Disgard that.

Make that 3 of the imagin.

[Ring Slinger]

XD!!! Why can I see this being both horrible and awesome at the same time!

More than insanity is what they will give to us.

[Mr. Blue]

Wow, awesome scans!

[Urza Planeswalker]

Wow freaking amazing scans there. I can't wait to see more now :D

[Ring Slinger]

So what I want to know is What the hell Momotaros is doing on Hibiki world?!

Great scans by the way Tiz. Gettin me all excited for what's to come.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Most likely it's a Mr. God Mod himself summon. God I'm getting sick of Diend.

[Ring Slinger]

XD! True that does get a bit annoying at times. Then again it's kinda cool when it was the movie riders only XD! Now it's like " Oh look I can use any card that tsukasa unlocks..I'm so cool with my radiator helmet"

Bah...oh well DiEnd's still sorta interesting...sorta <_< >_>

[Urza Planeswalker]

Ok this is cheesy but I was thinking what I'd like to see if the Rider War happens >_>. What if Decade got a card after all the other worlds are "Destroyed" and it's a final attack ride called simply Kamen Rider and it's like all ten main riders kicks in one attack?

[Ring Slinger]

Dude, that would be kinda interesting..Hell I could kinda almost see how it would work too. Although with Decade's second form having the cards as a part of his uniform who knows what's gonna happen XD!

[Ikusa]

They save the best world for last. Makes sense.

[Ring Slinger]

So any one else sorta irked about how Shouichi of Agito's world in Decade just sorta happened to become Agito as a second thought/ obvious plot device? It made me think back to the people shown on screen in Agito itself, to actually change and fight the change.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Slightly, but I like how it was done, with Gills and Agito. And how Shouichi made inner peace with his transformation lead to him to complete the evolution.


Just watched Today's Ep, Large doses of Crack with hintings of plot of the big picture.

[Ring Slinger]

XD!! So in otherwords it's Den O with the Decade crew just sorta there? XD Tho either way it sounds good to me.

[S.I.C]

Well I got to say that episode 16 in Kabutos world was really good.

Now they showed ZaBee and Gatack and kinda Kabuto but I wonder if they will show the other riders from Kabuto(SaSword, Drake, Kick Hopper, Punch Hopper and maybe Dark Kabuto?). The scene when Decade used the Den-o cards...........LMAO!!!!!....Ore Sanjou! XD the Den-O cards don't do carp for Decade lol.

Also Diend is there to try and steal the Clock Up treasure......yeah good luck with that lol. Also ZaBee thought he had Decade beat because he doesn't have a Clock Up System....BUT!!!! Decade used his Faiz card and then formed rided into Faiz's Accel form so he could fight ZaBee in clock up for 10 secoends. Now I thought that was a smart movie on his part and it was nice to see he could use that form.

Now why is Kabuto stuck in his clock up......did they ever answer that question? Also who do you guys think Kabuto is?

anywho >_>.......I wish they would stay in Kabuto world longer than 2 episodes >_<

Look at your own risk, if you do not wish to be spoiled, then do NOT click on the link!

[Ring Slinger]

Hunh....I knew about the Ultimate form..tho it still looks wierd to me XD! But Rising Ultimate form makes me think of Agito..prolly specially cause I didn't watch alotta kuuga so I think I'm missin something Well thanks for the link man.

[Moriamur]

Well...

if I remember the rumors correctly, the Decade series Kuuga would get a complete new, original form... Which is aparently that Agito/Exceed Gills + Ultimate Kuuga hybrid... Gotta say that he looks... Kickass

[Ring Slinger]

True..And seeing as how on Agito world they had grongi it'd make sense to tie it all in together and give Yuusuke a new kickin agito/gills like form.

[Kaiser Zero]

O_O Wow....

looking at Decade's form vs Kuuga's new ultimate form..... Kuuga's is by far cooler. Kinda odd he gets a new form when he hardly fights..... but oh well.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Hot Dang...>_>

That Kuuga form is freaking awesome and I may have to take back my unkind words on Decade's Ultimate. It might be salvageable after all XD Also...Is that the Grandpa with the villain for the movie or am I seeing things?

[John Marston]

Lol @ complete form. ZOMG! Cards on teh suitz111

[Ikusa]

Kuuga has never looked so sexy.

[Moriamur]

and of course some rumor info concerning Decade... Mostly movie stuff:


New Decade (mostly movied related) rumored info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-First off, Kuuga's new form is called "Rising Ultimate Form"

-Tsukasa was the Chief of DaiShocker. His sister will also appear in the movie.

-Gackt seems to be playing Riderman, and Riderman's suit will actually be renewed/retooled for the film

-A press conference for All Riders VS DaiShocker will be held on the 25th. At that time, the main cast will be fully announced.

-Shadowmoon seems to replace Tsukasa as the head of DaiShocker

-DaiShocker is unrelated to the original Shocker, except in name.

-The movie, although in continuity with the series, might take place in yet another parallel world.

-The Showa Riders may not be the same characters, just as the alternate Hesei riders were not

-Kamen Rider W apparently resembles Mazinger and Shariban a bit.


The story for the movie is as follows:

Tsukasa, and possibly his family, are the heads of DaiShocker. Tsukasa creates Decade as part of his plan to destroy all the other riders, and take over the worlds. However, even though he defeats the riders, his memories are lost, and he must defeat them to get them back, hence where we are in the series...

Okay, so if I am to believe this rumor... Then Decade is actually a bad guy who lost his memory..?

<_<

>_>

DUUUUDE!!! AWESOME!!!

[Kaiser Zero]

NOW THAT'S A PLOT!

[Urza Planeswalker]

DEAR LORD! *monocle falls out*

[Ring Slinger]

NOW THAT'S A PLOT!
Indubitably so my friend...also..o_o!..cause yeah...wasn't expecting that at all XD!

[S.I.C]

Man Decades final form is........meh.....but Kuuga's new final form does look awesome!

[Urza Planeswalker]

I kinda like Decade's new form. I mean at first I hated it I mean absolutely couldn't stand it but now that I see it more it's not so bad. Wonder how the cards on the suit will work. Maybe a Ben 10 Omnitrix thing where he can switch between riders on the fly?

[Ring Slinger]

Hmmm, that's a cool thought man. I didn't think about that. It certainly makes the new suit better >_> <_<

[Urza Planeswalker]

DANG. THAT'S NOT THE HIBIKI I KNOW! >_>

[Kaiser Zero]

Well we haven't had original riders before so why start now? >_<

[Urza Planeswalker]

I know but I mean what a twist! for Hibiki man I mean. Lazy and relaxed? It makes my brain wanna explode like that dude from Scanners.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

Well we haven't had original riders before so why start now? >_<

To be extremely unfair to everyone else?

Even though there is the original rider for the other 3 Oni in Hibiki, and we getting justification for the god damn writing changes that the second half of Hibiki brought us? This is a true Hibiki's fan wet dream, Lack of Hosokawa be damned

Also, if you were a fan of Kiva at all, you are going JIZZ IN YOUR PANTS with the episode after tomorrows.

[Ring Slinger]

Ya know Tiz, ya don't have to be a fan of Kiva to enjoy those episodes, I'm not. I'm merely a fan of a certain character >_> <_< and yes I know the character in question.

But back to what matters..Loved the episode and I can't wait for the next one. Loving the fact that the kanji being flashed on the screen is making a reappearance. That made my day so much as it was a big part of what i liked about Hibiki, that made it different. That and I just liked the musical aspect of the hibiki oni crew.

[Urza Planeswalker]

Can't wait to see the next episode. Had no idea that you know who was a Hibiki rider. Also wonder what that blank card was?

[S.I.C]

okay wtf was up with that Hibiki world?!?!?! It kinda pissed me off >_>....I mean they made Zanki fight like he was the Jiro from Kiva but if I recall Zanki is not a crazy fighter!

and also to see Asumu in a one suit was cool. I'm Pretty sure that in the next episode he will become the next Hibiki since.......>_>.....yeah >_>

I think that Hiniki is the only world next to Den-O to use most of the oringnal cast?

I did like how they put in the old flash words durning the episode like in the early episodes of Hibiki.....the Momo one made me giggle XD

Also why did they have to make the Oni fight each other they never did that in HIBIKI!!!!! but I guess that had to do it ;_;.....I miss the Shigeki Hosokawa AKA the original Hibiki. He is was and alway will be Hibiki!

**sigh**

now I'm ranting so I will stop >_>....for now hehehehehehe.....

[Urza Planeswalker]

OK SO I JUST GOTTA KNOW WHERE WILL THEY END UP AFTER THIS?!?!?!?!?!?

[S.I.C]

well Decade is a short series like 30 episodes.....so after this.....who knows?

Rider War?!?!?!?!

[Kaiser Zero]

I'm gonna guess he'll end up in his world? Then we'll get his real story.

Meanwhile, the less pleased Tsukasa becomes the "10,000th Customer" at a restaurant, and wins the owner's inheritance, becoming a millionaire.

Then Kurenai Otoya appears before Tsukasa playing a violion. He informs him that "The World Has Been Restored.", though his cryptic tone only causes Tsukasa to worry. Just when it seems confusing enough, Narutaki appears in front of Tsukasa as well.

A change begins to take place in Tsukasa's cards, which Otoya calls (http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showthread.php?t=31157#) "a treasure that will exceed us all." This leads to Decade doing battle with DarkKiva.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

The Hibiki Arc of Decade is probably my favorite arc Decade has offered me so far, Yes even Ryuki and Kuuga arcs.

Hibiki's was THAT good. It's really hit what the Series was suppose to be about and beyond.

Can you believe that Yonemura wrote these episodes?!
