All in all, Decade was definitely the turning point for the franchise. Like I said before, the show being only half a year long because of business, mostly sales, reasons shifted the shows to start in late summer and autumn-ish allowing it to avoid direct competition against super sentai. The phase 2 of Heisei was in full throttle with the beginning of Kamen Rider W and the show established the basis for the collectibles which later solidified and was executed properly with Double. This show to me was like a growing pain that just had to be done for the franchise to head towards new directions and goals, and like its slogan it destroyed all to start anew. It's quite metaphorical come to think of it and while the show is imperfect it had moments of great fan service and fun episodes and ideas here and there. It was truly a wild journey through the decade as we welcomed the next decade circa 2009.
