Yes, it was annoying that Yusuke chose to sit out a fight more often than not, but honestly, if was had Kuuga going around each of the Rider worlds, then Tsukasa would be pretty pointless as a character.

Yes, but anyone who has ever heard of Spider-Man knows that with great power comes great responsibility. Yuusuke could have been excellent as a secondary Rider (since DiEnd was too busy being a jerk, bless him).

This Ryuki 13 riders thing is weird. It's quite obviously an alternate story, but already I feel it's not taking advantage of it. Ryuki is actually someone else first before passing the deck on to Kido, but we don't really get his story. Why bother making Ryuki someone else first if you're not gonna give him his own story? What was wrong with how Ryuki actually started?

It's funny how Dragon Knight gets ripped on for taking Ryuki and changing everything, but Ryuki seems to have done that itself!

I think the writers legitimately forgot he was Kuuga for a large stretch of the show.

Mostly, though, I have to compare him with the real Yusuke and next to him the Decade one is just shit.

I actually liked that Ryuki embraced it's AU tendencies (Most Kamen Rider movies Pre-Den-O were AU), but I'll agree they were too afraid to truly expand on the possible stories.
Hell, if they were afraid of not using Shinji, they always had Ryuga for his actor to return to play.

That wouldn't surprise me, honestly.

And while I hadn't seen the original Kuuga, Yusuke was one of the better AU riders.

I don't think I'll watch 13 Riders. I understand why they eventually ditched the AU concept. It's hard to give a shit when these aren't actually the characters. They're the same names and faces, but not the same people that died various poetic deaths in the show. They're just versions.

compared to the Kuuga one? I can't imagine how bad the Decade one is, then, because Godai is one of the worst Riders ever. He spent the whole show so disconnected from the action, and Kuuga himself, it not only made him.come across as a terrible character but was one of the many reasons why the show was so crap.

*Stares at Sig* They need to make a Penguin Rider... Ryuki should've had one.

Other than that, Im just shuffling through.

the Shinkenger crossover made me love Power Rangers Samurai lol. I loved the Den-O Episodes with it. Decade isn't as god awful as people make it out to be IMHO.

I also feel like trying Decade to see just how horrible it really may or may not be.
