Oh, it makes perfect sense. DiEnd wants Decade to eat his sea cucumber and if DiEnd can't have him, no one else should. Some would consider it romantic to sacfice the world for love like that. :p

Just watched 38 and 39 of Ryuki on the way home from work.

Alternative is pretty damn cool. Not so much because of his powers, but because he looks like a SIC figure on the show itself.

If you want a Rider that looks like a SIC, then you want Another Agito. I'm pretty sure SIC didn't change a thing when he was made.

Or Shin. Shin is pretty much SIC personified.

No it isn't.

You know what my favourite part of Decade and W was? Not Skull's awesome first appearence, not Shotaro overcoming his guilt, not the sick wicked prelude to Fang or the admittedly awesome move by Decade to bring Shotaro closer, no...

...It was when Kabuto got his smug ass run into the ground and his dumb little horn thing broken off and tossed aside. That self-absorbed buttfiend shoulda stayed vapour if you ask me. For such a Japanese person he's a very badly-concieved American hero stereotype. Smug, pretentious, unbeatable in a fight, pseudo-philisophical and literaly thinks he's God's gift to Earth, and the story bends over backwards to support that. He's completely unlikable in every way, and that fact that people call him a troll in an endearing way is grievous misuse of the term and utterly befudling. A troll is an ugly, disgusting, lurking thing that only achieves self worth and satisfaction from belittling or enraging others with it's deliberate attempts to cause negative emotions in everyone. Unsympathetic, unrepenting, just vile incarnate. If your main character can be described as such, you have failed on the most basic level of storyteling.

Shin sounds like my kinda guy. What's he look like?

I actually hated that scene.
Not even for Kabuto's death.
Skyrider ran away, choosing not to fight back (And getting killed for his troubles), Super-1 got taken out like a bitch, and Kabuto forgot he could slow down time.

It always seems Decade's victories when he's "Evil" relies completely on his opponents forgetting to use their completely OP and broken powers.

Does that make Kamen Rider Fetus into SIC Lite?

Ever seen the 90's Guyver live action movies? Make it green, give it teeth, and take away some detail.

Oh yeah, that scene was total crap. Completely makes characters I don't even know into weiners. But it was worth it for that one shot of Kabuto's little horn thing in the ground. I want to buy that prop.

That's pretty awesome. Kind of underdetailed but I can tell he's an older rider, so that'd be pretty intricate for back then.

I'm watching through Kabuto and I like Tendou. While everything you say is true, I can't say that it makes me dislike the character. He pulls off that stereotype quite well, to me anyways. Now Sasword, that guy I don't like. He's even worse than Tendou. Though I hear he turns around later on.
