Decade 06. "Treachery and onions are two of my favourite things!"
So this is Ryuki huh? Or at least a version of it. And man what a version! Kuuga's world made me enjoy a series I hated, Kiva's world had some interesting ideas but was much too brief to be truly appreciated but then this introduces the 'Kamen Rider Trial System' one of the most legitimately exciting and awesome ideas I've seen in Kamen Rider. A world where 12 people with any relation to a case are given a super powered set of armour, and the victor can judge the case in their favour? I'd happily watch a whole series around this idea! It has real fun with its ideas too like the fact that the system is so corrupt, under the right circumstances the murderer themselves could end up joining the Trial Battle, winning it and then sending someone innocent to jail to get away with murder. Kamen Rider Abyss always looked lovely in toy form, but I'm not sure I'm so sold with the suit in show. There is a cheap, lack of polish about the suit and although it has all those intricate details that make me love the Ryuki suits I'm not sure I ultimately like this suit as a whole as much as I did other suits in the show. It's so nice to be able to enjoy the Kiva suit and powers, without actually having to watch the series. Although it's a shame that no powers seem as strong as the Decade ones, which maybe makes sense in context, but kinda undermines the excitement of transforming into past Riders. So why does Yusuke know all about the Riders? I get that he is a Kamen Rider and he's fought monsters and stuff but he's certainly taken leaping from dimension to dimension, each populated with its own monsters and heroes very casually. I mean in the Kiva world, he directly integrated himself into the fabric of it...somehow... I mean as shitty as it is, Tsukasa has in story reasons for being so casual but Yusuke is just... It doesn't help that this episode literally made him irrelevant. From having a whole arc centred around him, to an arc where he was off screen for his most crucial moments to an arc where he is literally not needed at all. Fantastic.

Watched Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land for the first time since I saw it in the cinema back in august. It is still incredibly boring and uneventful. Except for the one off joke about fishing mayonnaise and one or two of the action scenes there was nothing in this movie that grabbed me.
Its not a bad movie but it is definitely not a good movie. its just boring. Last edited by ElConvoy; 04-22-2014 at 07:35 AM.. |

The ToQ crossover was fun as a whole, but it made Gaim look like an absolutely awful series.

Decade 07.
Wow the Battle Trial Ryuki Riders are pretty lame. I guess it makes sense for in story reasons but I was kinda excited to see what they'd do with those powers now they had an actual budget. Abyss probably gets off the best, as he's new, but I just really don't care about that suit or the character. But I don't think we were ever supposed care that much, as he was basically just a plot device. Shame really, considering he's a whole new Rider. So Ryuki just literally turns into his contract monster and gives Decade his Rider Kick? But doesn't Decade get that anyway if he turns into Ryuki? Well that was lame... Luckily the Trial Battle itself continues to be a deliciously thought out and imaginative set up for fighting. I am really sad it isn't its own show, it could have been really interesting. I'm sad to leave this world, but now we're seeing the effects of the world's combining I'm more than game for Blade World. Another show I didn't care for so I'm excited to see what they do, but considering Tsukasa has already beaten an Ace Undead with Ryuki Powers I dunno how they are gonna have any tension in the next story. Yusuke and Tsukasa's bromance actually makes me appreciate Tsukasa a lot more as a character than I necessarily did at the beginning. He's a lot more charismatic than the haters lead me to believe, and his wry humour reminds me a lot of Haruto and you all know I love him.

I haven't actually gotten around to the movie yet, but the net movies I've watched (the first three according to TVN's numbering) have been pretty entertaining. The whole Kamen Deka Rider thing was ridiculous. Stronger with the shoulder holsters, that interrogation, Amazon in a jean vest and shorts...
