Like I said, I read your Decade thread. Unless you've got some big 'reason Decade sucks' bomb that you never dropped there, I know for a fact that your arguments on the matter have not changed my mind. And as for my arguments changing your mind, you saw Tsukasa almost die to save Shouichi, give up some of his life force to save Natsumi, and a bunch of similar incidents and the declared that he had never done anything good of his own volition. I'm sure you can come up with rationalizations that turn those into selfish acts, but I saw a guy who may not have been a natural hero, but was trying anyways.
Tsukasa was told in the first episode that he was supposed to be killing all the AU riders, but instead chose to try and solve their problems while trying to find a non-murderous solution. That sounds pretty heroic to me. And while I liked Tendou for his dickery, Tendou also was so full of himself he made up a grandma he never had. That's right, I said it: his grandma never existed. But, I do like Tendou though. I just don't like Kabuto's Deus Ex Machina at the end of the series. Decade was full of them, so the surprise each week was which Deus Ex Machina he was going to pull out of his (or Yuusuke's) ass. |

For what it's worth, I agree with you. Tsukasa, while probably trolling, didn't kill any of the AU Riders like he was told to, and instead felt that something else was guiding him, a purpose. And he followed the purpose.

since I have no idea if that's sarcasm or not, I'm gonna say that he was just joking

Well, he was joking. His grandma just never shows up. Ever.
Except in the Decade AU world. :P

My apologies, however it's not really a major plot point.
For the record though, everyone has a grandma. That was kind of the joke. He's so full of himself that he created himself. And while I surely didn't see Kabuto on it's debut, there's something a statue of limitations on what is and isn't spoilers, right? But hey, at least I didn't give up that annoying Deus Ex Machina! CLOCK UP! *Seeya!* |

Spoilers shouldn't have a statute of limitations. Especially with a franchise that has spanned decades and has as many entries and variations as this. New fans come in all the time from all different series (as this thread has shown), why risk ruining it for them when it takes absolutely no real effort to just post a spoiler tag? It's incredibly selfish to not. I had a pretty major moment in Fourze spoiled for me just browsing, and I definitely felt it took away from the series as I was anticipating it the entire time.

That's ludicrous. You're saying all discussion has to take place in spoiler tags, just because somebody might decide to watch an old series where information on it is readily available anywhere?
When it comes to watching old shows, that's the risk you run. I understand and can sympathise with not wanting to be spoiled. Double's ending was spoiled for me. But you have to be reasonable. We can't avoid spoilers and cover our posts in tags just on the off chance that someone may be watching the show we're talking about and hasn't gotten to that part yet.
