I'll justs ave everyone the trouble. Since it's the only reason to see the episode:

Nega World!
I guess Decade has some sort of quota for bad episodes, because this arc was crap. Yes, it gave us backstory on Natsumi, but it was all meaningless because it wasn't her world.
The antics with Tsukasa and Yuusuke was nice, but it only lasted like, 4 minutes.
And have I mentioned that Decade Complete looks stupid? Because it does.

Eh, I always thought the Diend stuff was worth watching in those episodes.

Yeah, this is where I stopped when I rewatched Decade last year. The prospect of seeing this two-parter again just never appealed to me. It's a Toshiki Inoue arc, after all, and that usually kills my enthusiasm for anything.

While I am unsure what properly makes his style of writing distinct (Not really paying attention when it's him at the reigns), this arc was horribly done.
Q: Why are they letting Natsumi live?
A: So they might draw out Nega world Natsumi and use her to pull out the K-Touch.
That's completely stupid, because they take the prospect that there are still living humans with confusion and shock, so why would they assume Nega World Natsumi would be alive, let alone even in the area anymore?

Q: Why is Decade being treated like a king?
A: So he can rule the Nega World as the ultimate Rider and kill off all remaining humans.
This made no sense. Dark Kiva pretty much ruled the Nega World, even having bested Decade. Why would he just willingly give up his position in power?
(Aside from "Because Decade is a Mary Sue that has everything given to him.")

Q: Why does Diend know everything about these worlds if he doesn't know anything about the treasures located?
A: Seriously. This is starting to piss me off. It's like he can pull up the Wikipedia entries for any Rider world and start spouting off facts left and right, but he has no idea about any of the supposed "Treasures" he's hunting for.

The Nega World arc sucked so hard. And now I have to suffer through Decade Complete appearing now, too.

well diend did say that he was just like decade before decade had arrived, passing through each one. that was explained in... some movie i forgot about :lol. if he was going to each world i guarantee he would learn about them like decade is. about the treasure though.... not sure

I liked the Nega World arc somewhat.....

Though I can't deny any or your completely well thought out and valid points :lol

Just started Ryuki, like literally just finished episode 1. So far so good. It's definitely got a different tone from the last couple series I've watched, which is a nice change of pace. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Diend World.
Darkroaches are back. Whoohoo (Also, not sure, but I think Caucasus Undead appeared).

This one was alright. I do wish we got more Undead than the 2 that appeared.
As for the episode, it was decent. The story was nice, and the back story for Kaito was good. I do wish the stupid twist at the end was gone, though, because once you start thinking about it, it really has no reason of being there.

Overall, though, if the rest of Decade was more like this 2 parter, I would've enjoyed the series far more.

Up next, Shinken World!
(Also, I just noticed they use the term "This world" a lot. It makes sense for Decade or Natsumi, but when residents of that world speak as though they know full well that there are multiple worlds, it gets pretty odd)

As much as I hate Shinkenger that 2-parter is one of the better arcs.

That was such a weird arc.

"So where's Diend from?"
"A world whose only Riders are the three movie-exclusive Riders from Blade."
"Makes perfect sense to me!"

:confused:
