I won't lie, I honestly really like the decade suit
To me this is a near perfect balance of what zi-o tried to do with its legend rider forms, while also being it's own thing
The suit is sleek and cool looking, and while if you're familiar with decade it's impossible to not see decade, for younger kids in Japan or new fans who don't really know who decade is this'll just look like a cool new form
Like obviously it does look a LOT like decade, the chest plate is probabaly the one aspect I'd call a step too far and I think may earn the suit kitbash status, and with the jingle allegedly saying "passing through"... yeah that's a lot...
but I
still
think without the context that this is a reference to decade you might not even guess it was a reference to anything, especially if this was your first rider show
This is unlike in Zi-O where even if you just saw a picture of the suits and not the show I feel like you'd probabaly be able to guess it was trying to reference
something
just from how it looks, I think in z-io the issue is the big toys strapped to his shoulders lol
I also haven't heard if they even reference in the episode zero / short movie that that is a decade form in universe?
Like everyone who's seen the movie have gone "its decade!", but it sounds like it's possible that it just shows up in the episode zero thing and they just act like it's a normal form, leaving it up to fans to put the reference together instead of spelling it out for the audience (tho if someone knows if it is spelled out I'd love to know how they're handling this)
I could be totally wrong here though, escpecially since I know people have referenced Vice breaking the 4th wall, so maybe he'll function a bit like Secchan in Zenkaiger, and he'll say stuff like "what? doesn't this look a bit too familiar??" and sort of explain to new fans who the legend rider is
I think that would be fine, but tbh I think it would be weird but better for the prospects of the shows writing and plot if they just never reference legend riders outside of movies and specials, if it's a fully visual reference not reflected in the scripts it won't be able to affect the story too much
Speaking of Vice, while I don't want to dredge up the subject too much in this thread, hearing audio from him still just feels a bit weird to me, I guess I'm glad it's a more cartoony voice rather than anything too close to Kimura's actual speaking voice, maybe that'll help me distance the two in my mind, but I probabaly won't know for sure until we have full episodes to watch
In any case I think this is a good balance of being it's own form and being a legend rider form
It also kinda reminds me of the animal suit design aesthetic for zero-one? Tho it has its own energy too, maybe I'm just saying this because zero-one also had a shark lol
