He's even the final boss of Battride War while being possessed by Callas!

Neat! I've never really looked that closely at Violent Emotion before, but that's still nice to see the subtle differences to the suit. Also, I just realize this could be one of the basis for the Reiwa Final Forms.

When is Decade ever a standalone though? This is a special event for Double, getting to team-up with a Rider from another show, but for Decade, this is just business as usual. The W half of the Movie War is real good as well, focusing on Begins Night where Shoutarou and Phillip had their destined meeting, the reason why Phillip is scared of using Fang Memory and the lore of Shoutarou's mentor Soukichi. The teamup itself has the awesome triple Rider kick between Decade, Double CycloneCyclone and Double JokerJoker, with the Final Form Ride being business as usual for them as well since they're always splitting in half for finishers like Joker Extreme and Joker Strange.

W is 6/19 in my Heisei Rider Ranking. Decade is 9/19 and would be higher if the ending had better execution.

Oh nothing against W or his inclusion in the movie, since I like W and Begins Night was still very enjoyable and set up my experience with the show proper. And creative (if you can call most of them that) movie finishers are always extremely satisfying to behold.

While I might rate W higher than Decade (depending, I might wait until I've seen more Rider shows first), I definitely agree Decade's endings could have been better, but overall, Decade was still an enjoyable show, not sure if that's just nostalgia or something, but I definitely see that.

Anyway, Zi-O's .5s Episodes are the closest things to Net Movies I've seen (I'll get around to the Decade ones or any others from shows I've completed). And good thing we're preparing Die for Zi-O's "scheduling" since unlike Decade, it's going to be a full season, and not as consistent as the former all things considered.
