And as for my arguments changing your mind, you saw Tsukasa almost die to save Shouichi, give up some of his life force to save Natsumi, and a bunch of similar incidents and the declared that he had never done anything good of his own volition. I'm sure you can come up with rationalizations that turn those into selfish acts, but I saw a guy who may not have been a natural hero, but was trying anyways.

Tsukasa was told in the first episode that he was supposed to be killing all the AU riders, but instead chose to try and solve their problems while trying to find a non-murderous solution. That sounds pretty heroic to me.

For what it's worth, I agree with you. Tsukasa, while probably trolling, didn't kill any of the AU Riders like he was told to, and instead felt that something else was guiding him, a purpose. And he followed the purpose.

And while I liked Tendou for his dickery, Tendou also was so full of himself he made up a grandma he never had. That's right, I said it: his grandma never existed.

But, I do like Tendou though. I just don't like Kabuto's Deus Ex Machina at the end of the series. Decade was full of them, so the surprise each week was which Deus Ex Machina he was going to pull out of his (or Yuusuke's) ass.

And while I surely didn't see Kabuto on it's debut, there's something a statue of limitations on what is and isn't spoilers, right?
