But a gripping story? Lol no. There is no story. Everything the series builds up to leads to absolutely nothing. Literally. There is no resolution. The opening scene is the ending scene. Diend shooting Tsukasa was retconned out and doesn't have any bearing on the follow up movie audiences were supposed to see. The hints of what Tsukasa might really be is never resolved. He just is.
History lesson? No. It just parades the suits and spoils one of the twists in Faiz.

DiEnd is one of our greatest Kamen Rider trolls right beside Tendou. But.. Matrix is right. It has no story. Well, it has something of a story but then the ending turns into a steaming pile of Wtf. But don't watch it because you're expecting Fourze or W. You won't get it. Faiz though I think you should watch. It's really grown on me as an excellent series.

Leads into W? Heh, no. Double and Decade aren't connected. Double showing up in Decade's movie isn't proof of it. It just means that Double appeared early.
Decade is a terrible, terrible show that's only value is it's reduced length and it lets you see the previous 10 Heisei suits in action (And it spoils Faiz, meaning you don't need to see Faiz). A couple cool fights and scenes here and there does not redeem an entire series and make it good.

Decade has a story- you just have to perform a series of complex equations to realize it was actually an allegory about the Great Potato-Muffin War of February 31.

(But seriously, I thought Decade had a story.

Decade does have a story. It's just not a very good one and it doesn't have an ending.
