I found it so weird that the two parter never shut up about him, yet they never told us who he was or showed him on screen.

That's what we get for never watching Black/RX. :lol

I've actually seen like half of Black and it didn't help me. All I was, was disappointed that such a great Rider sucked so hard and felt so useless. Black got the Kuuga treatment in Decade, it seems.

Oh...I didn't know. Maybe He's from RX? *shrugs*

But yeah, I agree, and on Kuuga...it sucks that they didn't utilize him as a Rider more. This particularly bothered me in the Agito arc.

Even when he does transform...he still does nothing.

I can't wait for that episode. I love seeing X in action.

Seriously. What the heck were you doing in 1990? :p

Joe the Haze is a supporting character from Black RX. He shows up at around the 1/3rd mark as part of the really awesome storyline that introduces Robo and BioRiders. He kind of fills the classic Taki role as another dude who can handle some of the fight scenes, although Joe is also kind of a comic relief character. The guy who played is apparently also a pretty big name voice actor.

I still need to finish Black, but the episodic nature of the series kinda made it a slog for me.

Why are Decade episodes 30 and 31 done by TVN twice? One version is titled "special" but it doesn't really clarify what that means.

Those Episodes were aired during reruns. They are edited different after parents protested against the original airing of these episodes.
