Thought I'd watch another episode of Decade before finishing off the last episode and a half of Dragon Knight and give my series wrap up thoughts. So onwards to Kiva's world! I just can't believe we've travelled to two worlds in four episodes. No wonder this show was cut short.

I actually - much to my surprise - enjoyed Kuuga's world a lot, and Kiva is another Rider show I don't particularly like so I'm hoping this world carries the same magic from the first arc. It certainly has some great ideas, like the uneasy peace between monsters and humans and the child Rider. The Kiva suit is gorgeous and his form changing makes me want to try the show again.

How does a celebration of Kamen Rider get the powers wrong? Kuuga's Dragon and Titan forms don't work like that, Decade. You seemed to understand him fine when he was Yuusuke but apparently Decade can even break power sets.

Honestly though, more often than not, the 'why the fuck not?' style of storytelling in this show is actually very entertaining. As personified by Decade getting randomly teleported to a stadium where Kaixa was waiting to attack him in the closing minutes of the episode. WHY THE FUCK NOT.
