So when it came to the Decade two-parter I knew absolutely NOTHING about Decade so it was a strange experience for me. I definitely appreciate the episodes a bit more now, but yeah it was strange to be suddenly introduced to a Rider I had no prior experience with.
It's a pretty big leap, mostly because there's very little context given for any of the non-Wizard Riders in these episodes. They're mostly just treated as Other Riders, interchangeable except for their powers. So, yeah, Tsukasa's almost
bizarre
prominence (he's the only one to de-Henshin) doesn't feel motivated by a lot. In retrospect, it's clear why he's being used instead of, like, Faiz (although:
boy
is this also a story Kabuto would've worked in), but if you're watching this story without knowing Tsukasa's arc, it's harder to get the significance.

Tsukasa just doing his whole Tsukasa
thing
, complete with a fake heel turn. It's adorable!
