I didn't say anything since I assumed I'm wrong, but then it hit me. I've seen a cobra-styled bad guy with a sword who talks in a quite threatening tone before.

I'm pretty sure Ouja was homaged as a monster once, specifically the cobra Imagin Wing Form kicked the shit out of in Den-O's movie. I'm not kidding, the voice sounds familiar, the designs are even similar with the head sharing design elements, and the torso having the cobra's frilly business as a paldron.

EDIT: And a quick window-dive into Wikipedia does not despute this. Hot diggity, as if I needed another reason to love Wing Form it beats up Ouja alegories for me before I even knew I didn't like him. And as much as I dislike Ouja, the actor is confirmed as an even bigger cool guy.
Yeah, the fact he does stuff like that is awesome in my book.

I enjoyed Decade a lot. It might not reflect the other shows accurately however I find it a lot of fun

I'm pretty sure they only used Wataru because he was still easy to get, being the immediate preceding Rider. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't even done filming Kiva for long before his first Decade cameo.

Watched Kabuto 10-14 just now, and I'll to say that Daisuke/Drake is one of the strangest characters I have ever met from Kamen Rider; strangely intrigued with him. Kageyama I like as theBee and as a character right now. Kagami and Tendou are really awesome all the time.

Also I think they just twisted Tendou and Daisuke and got Decade and DiEnd from them. Not exactly sure just yet with Drake/DiEnd comparison though.

Tsukasa is what happens when you take Tendou and force the audience to side with and like him.

Uh, isn't that just Tendou anyway?

Because I must've missed the scene where that insipid used tissue of a character was ever not portrayed as a moronicaly over-powered and intelligence-insulting demi-God.

I've only seen Tsukasa as he appears in other series tie-ins and he's way more likable than Tendou. (And he's still a boring, annoying lump)

Tendou's overpoweredness was what ruined Kabuto for me, I found it hard to be engaged in a series where the main Rider could sneeze and kill every person on the planet - within the first five episodes. Obviously a Rider needs enough power to not feel like a dude in a costume singularly, but every hero need to lose or there is no reason to care about them.

It always felt like the show knew Tendou was unlikable, which is where Kagami came into place. While making Tendou the main character wasn't the best move, it always felt that the show made it clear we were supposed to side with emotionally and morally straight Kagami.
I dunno. It's been 3 years since I've seen Kabuto.

Yeah, it got a little ridiculous how perfect he was.
I'm still willing to defend Tendou just because I know what happens when the audience if forcibly sided with him and how bad things can actually get.

I think it's more that Tsukasa is what happens when you take Tendou and remove Hiro Mizushima's natural charisma.
