It?s even got Tsukasa and a kid version of a Rider, so it?s not exactly being subtle about what it?s doing. (Decade flat-out says that this is the World of Wizard!) It?s about using Haruto?s personal growth to help a different Rider overcome a thematically-similar trauma. There?s a gigantic Rider War-esque finale! Just? new Decade episodes, man. YES.

When I first got into Kamen Rider, I first watched Gaim purely out of intrigue for the completely bonkers idea of spandex warriors who transform using fruit. Binged watched that whole show in the span of a month (was one crazy ride, I'll tell you that) before deciding to watch Wizard next. So when it came to the Decade two-parter I knew absolutely NOTHING about Decade so it was a strange experience for me. I definitely appreciate the episodes a bit more now, but yeah it was strange to be suddenly introduced to a Rider I had no prior experience with.
