Tendou's Grannie was a smart lady.

I agree with everything there. Riiiiiiiight up until the GaoGaiGar reference. Someone's going to explain that to me, it went right by me.

oh...because in GaoGaiGar FINAL the bad guys have some sort of creation machine, and the good guys go on about how the power of the G-Stone and the J-Jewel (the things that power GaoGaigar and J-Der/King J-Der respectively) are "the power of destruction" because destruction is somehow a good thing?

I understand now. The classic superhero show/comic/game logic of "Destruction is good, because Destruction breeds Creation after"

Yeah...that never really made much sense to me...

Yeah, although GaoGaigar makes a bit more sense because he's supposed to be destroying the bad and unnatural, specifically the jokers who think having two universes occupying the same space is cool. He's not just destroying everything beautiful because he can.

Yea. He's not Blade Raider (:lol)

Trust me.
The speeches summarizing the characters are pretty much the only highlight outside of the Hibiki world giant enemy crab and the Black/RX double henshin.

That Hibiki song is the Joy of the series. Sad it was only used once.

Decade knows that some things are better when they're a Rarity.

It's a shame they applied that logic to good story telling, too...

I dug that too.
I watched, what, episodes 6 & 7 last night? Blade World.

not sure I care at all for the Blade designs. Not having seen anything of Blade before, I don't know how much it's portrayal in Decade differs from the show, but based off the the Kiva, Ryuki, and Kuuga worlds, I'm going to assume that it's quite a bit.

Tsukasa is...interesting? He spends most of the Blade arc kinda being a dick to that one guy who's name I don't remember (Blade), but then at the end, pulls some motivational speech about two great the guy is, straight outta his ass, and suddenly they're best buds. It was kinda odd.

Onodera Yuuske, is also, okay. I like him, he seems like a great guy, it's great that he's helping Tsukasa (he needs it, he has the people skills of a dirty wash rag), but where the fudge is Kuuga? H hasn't turned into Kuuga since his own arc. :(

Overall, I'm still liking Decade. It's fun to see the other Rider worlds, I have appreciated the differences in those worlds with those I'm familiar with, and it's interesting to be exposed to some variation of the worlds I'm not familiar with (looking forward to the next arc, which appear to be in Faiz world, I've been wanting to watch that show).

There is some random shit going on that hasn't been explained yet (and I'm not necessarily expecting it will ever be explained, but I hope something at least interesting comes of it), I like 2 of the four characters (gramps bothers the hell out of me, for some reason. Especially the lameass way he klutzes up the backdrops so they change worlds), and I'm undecided on Tsukasa himself.

The suit is growing on me, though it's still the most goofy of all rider designs. Well, except Den-O Climax Form.


In other KR series, I've got 6 episodes of Fourze left. I was going to watch two more last night, and then my wife decided she wanted to watch Fourze with me (cuz I made her watch the OOO x Fourze movie, and she loved it). So I'm restarting Fourze from the beginning with her.

Should I continue on solo and finish the series, or move on to finishing one of the shows I left off halfway thru (Ryuki & Kabuto), or start up Faiz (after the Decade arc)?
