Kamen Rider Decade broadcast episode discussion

[Guest DecadeRed]

last nites episode, might have been my favorite yet, and i thought the first two were awesome.

no offense to kiva or den-o, but i've had more fun watching these three episodes of decade than i had watching both of those series. tsukasa is a main character i can actually get behind. i rarely found myself cheering for wataru to win, and i never really cared if he lost, coz it was only temporary, and usually his own "emo" fault. ryotaro, i did care for since the actor was great and the character was likable, but i never found myself going, 'YEAH! THAT'S AWESOME, RYOTARO!' for at least until the last few episodes. it was usually momo who i was cheerin.

tsukasa just makes me cheer for the guy. he might come off as a dick at times, but he will fight and keep on fighting. when he got taken down by the grongi? even when he was outnumbered and was in human form, he still kept on fighting until either he's dead or they're dead.

the death was unexpected, but it was a nice touch that i think gives yuusuke some focus into fighting and all that. it'll make him see that he must defend the universes for her sake, and he'll travel with natsumi and tsukasa. i also really like his character. totally different from tsukasa, but they mix very well together. it's kinda like tendou and kagami except natsumi isn't as dull as hiyori.

the hoppers, delta, and kaixa? AWESOME. what an awesome evil riders thing going on with the guy pulling the strings in the background.

the fight itself was really well done, and i'm surprised how into it i got. maybe it's just me, but the first few fights in the last few series haven't been this exciting. it probably has to do with there being different arcs and such and not just MOTW. the final kuuga bug thing was really awesome, and i'll take it any day if we get the same good content every week.

i don't really see any flaws in decade. i like the main characters (all three); i like the villains; i like the settings; i like the music; i like the interactions; i like the fights. i just like everything so far.

and there's some mystery involved that i'm loving.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=qj2tpj3l

just remember, once downloaded, make sure its in the same folder as ur raw, and make sure it has the exact same filename. then play ur raw, and voila.

[*Jess♥]

cool, subs!

maybe these can be posted in the new releases thread?

because if a person has not watched the episode yet they won't come in here and won't know that the sub exists.

I haven't watched it yet but i know the sub exists through psychic powers.

[Guest DecadeRed]

wasn't sure where to put these, but they were too good not to put em anywhere

first off, a nice selection of Decade related imagery

next up is a rather good cg video, of SD decade facing SD kuuga - godai style

[Bobby]

Very cool pictures.

[Toku Warrior]

Well, from the looks of it we are going ot the world of Ryuki next in Eps.6.

Funny, Kuuga's world was first and he was the first Heisei Rider but Kiva was the second even though he's the 9th heisei Rider. Good ot see the actual 3rd Heisei Rider haveing his world set as the 3rd world visited.

I also thought how it was funny that the world canvas came down on top of Kivaraa. Served her right.

[Bobby]

I like how Kuuga called Decade his friend.

[durendal]

I'm a bit bothered by the mystery that the series is portraying. I'm afraid that they would concentrate more on hopping worlds and might forget to resolve some of the mysteries behind the other characters.

[Bobby]

Like they did with Wataru making the ultimate violin. They never showed him working on it after his dad possessed him.

[Toku Warrior]

Episode 7 was really great. Houjou being a Catagory King Undead was actually shocking to me. I know we had covered that part earlier but I still found it shocking. Which now leaves us to visit the 4th world in Decades' travels and it just so happens to be the world of my favorite Heisei Rider.....That's right, up nest is Blade!

I can't wait.

[Guest DecadeRed]

and if u listen carefully enuf, u can hear narutaki say he is from the heart suit... sources tell me the king of hearts was the paradoxia undead, heard of but never seen in the series.

[Larz Zahn]

i thought the spider king that helped out leangle was the king of hearts... maybe i misunderstood something...

[Toku Warrior]

No, he was the King of clubs Larz. The Club suit had two Spider Undead. One was a Category King and the other was the Category Ace which allowed Leangel to transform into his Rider form.

[Larz Zahn]

oohh.. i think i got confused by the kings mask, it looked like chalice's visor, so i just assumed.. whoops!

[Guest DecadeRed]

the king of hearts was already in card form in the series, it was the evolution king card that helped chalice go to wild form.

and u may notice that most of the higher level undead (mostly the royal club, but including the jokers) have visor's in similar shapes.

[Toku Warrior]

Well that was a pretty interesting episode. The only grip I have with it is Kivalla. They seem to have cut back o the budget a bit because

they used a stupid model version of her instead of the usual CG version. It was the Kiva HB video all over again.

Also, has anyone else besides me noticed that some of the background music is recycled from Boukenger?

[Bobby]

I haven't noticed. But I will with the next video I watch.

[*Jess♥]

i never noticed any boukenger music. I don't think it could be exactly the same could it?

oh yeah, they may use a lower quality kivara but what about the CG for dragredder? it was last time, but it must have taken a lot of money for that episode. maybe they were a little short this time.

did i recognise those two guy in this one btw?

they seemed familiar.

[Guest DecadeRed]

i'll be honest, i haven't noticed any of the music sounding familiar from any other series, not even boukenger. but there are better educated people than me out there, i jus upload the tunes, i don't listen to all of them.

someone has suggested that the lower quality kivara is because there was no CG used in blade, and this is why they used a puppet... but this is clearly a lie, as the henshins and finishers must use some form of CG. and yes, dragredder in the last episode was pretty special, it looked a lot better than in the original series. i just think they may be using too much budget, and kivara wasn't important enuf to use that much money on. i mean, this has now passed ryuki as having the most riders/rider suits in one series, the most different SFX in one series, and the most amount of (temporary) main actors... all this goes to show why it will only be 30 eps long, as it must be costing a hell of a lot more than a regular rider series.

as for the two guys, i take it ur reffering to Blade and Garren, it has been pointed out to me that the actor for blade looks a heck of a lot like the original shinji. dunno bout garren.

yeah, I did initially think he looked very much like kido shinji. it shortly passed though, leaving some other familiar aspet.

at one point i thought gaoblue.. but that passed.. then he just looked like himself.

[Bobby]

Can't wait to see Todoroki appear. He was my second favorite among the Hibiki Riders.

[Guest DecadeRed]

ye, but my question is... why todoroki? he wasn't a bad rider, as i remember, so why would narutaki bring him to blade world? i don't think he wud attack decade in the same way as the hoppers, and kaixa did.

if narutaki is indeed bringing rogue riders to face decade, then surely it would make more sense to bring either shuki or kabuki.

[Bobby]

Remember how Naive Todoroki was a bit??? Maybe Narutaki does what he did with Kuuga & Kiva and tells him Decade's evil.

[Toku Warrior]

Oh snap! Big spoiler guys.

Not only is Eps.10 the first of the 2 episode arc for Faiz's world but it' also the frist episode in which Diend will appear in.

[*Jess♥]

i'm really looking forward to faiz world.

oh, what was up with that hibiki guy? he stayed around didn't he, that was the same guy at the table wasn't it? I think perhaps that guy becomes diend. or maybe......

maybe all this time while decade has been fighting these other riders, (not of the world he is currently in) perhaps he has been fighting diend all along?
