I think it might be because of how comically abrupt an introduction that line is for Makoto into the story, and/or because the closed captions specifically included him going "Fu! Ha!", but again, I can't say that with any authority!

I don't remember that line. But when you say "Fu! Ha!" All I think about is that guy from Black Clover.

Yeah, this was apparently the thinking with beefy Rider #1 back in his movie with Ghost, too, and in both cases, I like the idea of deliberately leaving that implication that things happen to these characters even when we're not seeing them. Plus, in Decade's particular case, he's defying the purpose of his own series again by having the powers of 20 Riders despite being named after the number 10, and that utter disregard for logic and rules is so very, very Decade.

I agree! I love this detail. I didn't give it too much thought when I initially watched this, but I can perfectly imagine this.

Also, agree with Die on some of these outrageous scenarios of AR Heisei Phase 2 worlds. I'm now picturing Tsukasa starting out as a street dancer or waiter before, through pure Decade shenanigans, rises the ranks and becomes head of Yggdrasil in AR Gaim world. Or putting AR Shotarou and Phillip out of the job, while Phillip takes interest in him.
