I knew I could research it, but I decided the best way to go about things was to watch the original shows first. Besides, that way I could really get excited when all of these old actors showed up again to reprise their beloved characters.

Yeah, I, uh... didn't realize until much further down the line that Decade was built around AU replacement characters.

I'd gathered that much from some very-early-days wiki dives. (This was before I knew I'd want to watch everything, so there are probably some minor spoilers rattling around in my brain.) Like, I know that it's a different Kuuga in Decade than in Kuuga. I think I want more to get a feel for what each show is, so when Decade does a twist or variation, I'll get why it's a twist or a variation, you know?

Hilariously, my first experience with Decade was a the W Movie War, which is the finale I guess to the entire series? None of that made a lick of sense to me.

That's pretty much how I felt about the Dr. Pac-Man movie, which had the first non-Ex-Aid Riders I'd ever seen. That hero moment, when Ex-Aid, Ghost, Drive, Wizard and Gaim all henshin to take on the villains blew. my. mind.
