At this rate, I might as well be recapping the previous arc.

Though honestly, I don't have much to say on the Kiva arc. Looking back, now that I have a little more Rider knowledge under my belt (or in this case, a Driver), that I find it funny how Kiva, the previous season to Decade, features the youngest of the AR Riders, which at first, I thought "That can't be Kiva," and boy did they throw me for a loop.

One thing I absolutely adore about Kiva, or at least what has been presented, is it's amazing suit designs for the Fangires, with their stained-glass and classic horror monster motif, to Kiva's amazing design. Easily the coolest Vampires aesthetically.

Looking back, I'm pretty sure the attendants for Kiva were trying to ride off the success of the Imagin from Den-O, but I'm sure everyone put that together already, but I like how they're not the wild, comedic bunch their predecessors were, which serves as a fun contrast.

At this point, I believed Kivala and (might as well refer him this way for now) travelling hobo were antagonists, the former being one of his minions, leading me to think that he commanded villains from the other Rider Worlds at the time, as someone who was new to Rider.

Tsukasa was slowly becoming more and more enjoyable as the series progressed, and that was something that had my interest moving forward with the series. AR Kuuga and Natsume were fun characters, and I was honestly surprised and ever dubious about Kivala joining the crew, which made me wonder: just what sort of direction this show was going. And I think that's one of Decade's greatest strength in the perspective of a newcomer, of course, there's usually some hook when it comes to how some of these shows operate. From cool suits, to interesting characters and plot developments, you name it.

For now, all I have time to say about the Ryuki arc (at the moment) was that I could not get Ace Attorney out of my head, and would imagine Phoenix and Edgeworth turning into Riders in the middle of a court session.
