Whelp, I wasn't expecting to but I ended up jumping back into Decade, this time for the Shinkenger crossover.

OK first off, when exactly was this special filmed? Because I don't know about you guys but the Shinkengers actors didn't feel as 'organic' as they do in the series. And the characters seem like a "prototype" version of themselves. That might because this is the Decade writing staff & not the Shinkenger, or maybe I'm just imagining it, whatever.

Second, this makes me dislike Decade even more, his actor is 'slimey', not quite sure how to put it, but the way he looks & sounds makes me wanna hit him. Also I hate how Natsumi & Knock-Off Kuuga just act as though Tsukasa is a complete angel even when he's being a total dick & picking a fight with everyone.

Also I'm not entirely sure what the 'problem' of these episodes was. Yes, I know there was the Ayakashi with the Diend Driver, but I'm talking about the underlying issue. It started out with "this is a world without Riders", which I find hard to see is an issue but it made Natsumi spaz out for some reason. And then it turned into something like Jii's sense of purpose to the Shinkengers, not sure how that happened. And then Tsukasa was telling Takeru about how important Jii is to them, which I was just expecting Takeru say back "Yeah, thanks for telling me crap I already know Tsukasa".

And they also made the Shinkengers (aside from Takeru anyway) look like total chumps. And Chiaki didn't get to do anything awesome. :(

Anyway, those are my thoughts & I'm now just completely turned off from watching Decade (sorry Coturos). If the rest of the series is this slimey bastard traveling throughout the multiverse with his ass-kissing buddies, picking fights with everyone & having a lame resolution every time. Then count me out.



Kaito was kinda cool though.

By all means , go ahead :thumb:

I think that's just the Decade writing.

That's Tsukasa for you :lol

Natsumi was like that because she's watched each and every world reject Tsukasa and treat him like a threat, and then when they suddenly enter a world without riders people are trying to destroy him simply for being a rider. You have to bare in mind it's like the 12th world they visit in the show, so its been bubbling up for a good portion of it.

I wouldn't have said they were chumps, more that they were practically non-existent bar Takeru and Genta. Ryuunosuke was still Ryuunosuke though :lol

That's pretty much the gist of it yes. I liked Tsukasa up until the end of the series, but he's pretty much written as being flawless all the way through.


Yes, yes is he :D

Just weather until episode 27.
Or skip ahead to it.
Because Decade doesn't get any better. Decade continues to be a royal douche while Natsumi and Yuusuke act as though he's flawless, the writing gets more and more convoluted and confusing as they try to lead up to something (Which never occurs because the movie which was supposed to resolve it got changed), and Decade gets played up as "Greatest Rider ever" despite the obvious gaps in power between him and others.

And Kaito is cool. He gets his own movie during the Chou Den-O Trilogy, Episode Yellow, which is completely void of Tsukasa (And it's glorious).

It also has one of my favorite jokes in all of Den-O.

Which joke?

That was a great joke :lol Unfortunately that movie isn't exactly my favorite Den-O film. Yeah I love Diend and yeah he's awesome etc but something felt lacking in that movie.

Dang, that scene sounds awesome. I should watch the Cho Den-O episodes.

Just started W! 4 episodes in and it's looking promising. I already want his jetbike for my collection.
