How one man has that much power over a company no one's explained nor why he cared that much in the first place since he was badly ill at the time.

Older threads here "informed" me of this one. Apparently, Ishinomori WAS unhappy and didn't want Saban to touch his creation, and Japan's "respect the elders" mentality will keep that matter in check for the foreseeable future. If the matter is true, and I can't honestly say it is, then it kinda makes sense. Speculate for a moment: Saban wants to use Decade for "Powered Rider" and capitalize on the Decade/Shinkenger crossover, but the "ban" stays in place and Saban is still unable to make things happen. That is mere assumption on my part, but the "ban" has been stressed before to me by people who honestly believe it.
