Die, where do you find these people? Someone who actually likes Doctor Who, smh.

But yeah, Blade arc! This one's strengths are all in it's main Rider - Kazuma here is no Kenzaki, but he's an interesting twist on the idea, showing the guy maybe if BOARD had better employee retention, and also needed Tsukasa to remind him he's supposed to never give up on Tachibana, no matter how many times he gets shot! (Either with bullets, or in this case, mean words).

The lack of Hajime though, as much as Die would have you believe Decade is about to morph into the Joker at any time (they're both destroyers and don't properly realise how until later in the series, that's another one for you buddy), does hurt this one for me, especially with how integral that relation becomes to the show's later portions, but I get it - the Ryuki arc was just about the bond between two Rider-men, one grumpy and closed off, the other idealistic and far too headstrong, you don't want to repeat that for every mini arc. So maybe focusing on Kenzaki's rise from the bottom to fight not because it gets him his shiny plaque, but because it protects people, is the better choice.

Out of all the Final Form Rides so far, it's on of the better ones. Blade turning into a Blade for Decade (The Blade Blade) makes more sense than Kiva becoming a bow and arrow, after all. The real confusing thing is why it's finisher involves blasting a laser at the Undead...

It's odd, cause BOARD is shown as being at least semi-functional, but I can't imagine randomly bouncing up and down in rank like that would be good for anyone!
