Kamen Rider Decade broadcast episode discussion

[Larz Zahn]

well... as cool as that would be, wouldnt the buckle for each rider be identical?

im kinda thinkin its the trench coat an hat guy whos diend or the main villain. that way, he's trickin all the other riders to do his dirty work.

an yeah... SO cant wait for the faiz!!!

[*Jess♥]

well... as cool as that would be, wouldnt the buckle for each rider be identical?

I would agree with you if diends power was identical to decade.

but do you remember something about diend being able to CREATE the riders instead of transforming into them?

like doppelgangers or something.?

[Larz Zahn]

ooo

nope, i'd have forgotten that part. hmmm.....

[durendal]

Anybody notice how Yuusuke is getting more and more like a sidekick? I don't see him transform into Kuuga anymore. Or perhaps he can't?

[Guest DecadeRed]

i have it on good authority that yuusuke will be transforming again sometime soon, but that news is really for the future info thread

as for the ep, it was very kool. diend is kool, the differences, and yet similarities with original faiz world were kool (as in

student takumi is not only faiz, but wolf orphenoch also

*spoiler for original faiz series, don't read if ya don't want original faiz spoiled*). nice touch that lucky clover is a bully group in the school.

i loved how diend's henshin was similar, yet different to decade's, and being able to summon rey and kabuki at the same time was awesome.

oh ye, decade-blade using lightening sonic (final attack ride - blade) was also a very nice touch. makes ya realise he can use any other rider kick so far as well, mighty kick, darkness moon break, and dragon rider kick.

So the new Orphnoch is the Tiger Orphnoch. Wonder why not a Lion. And Butterfly appeared in the 555 Movie.

I saw faiz and i remembered ...

kamen rider faiz is teh COOLEST rider there has ever been!!

maybe not the best series, but definately the COOLEST.

I was almost salivating watching faiz get in gear... but then of course, this is not faiz. not the true faiz. actually the guy was kinda mediocre. for a start he didn't have the same determination in his movement. he was almost the same but just not quite forceful enough. also, the suite seemed to be made out of a different material that gave it an almost soft feel.

I noticed this with the blade suit as well.

but then.. this is not inui takumi.

who were those guys that diend was using? it looked like kamen rider amazon or one of those wierd colourful early ones.

[Guest DecadeRed]

ur right, this isn't Inui... its Ogami (spot the obvious pun)

as for the riders DiEnd used, they were KR Rey from the Kiva movie, and KR Kabuki from the Hibiki movie.

[*Jess♥]

oh !! hey,. that pun is not that obvious!

I just got it!

I'll spell it out for others.

inui, is taken from inu - dog.

ogami is taken from ookami - wolf

[Bobby]

What kind of an Orphnoch is this??? I can't tell the animal. This is a screen capture I took and I won't be using it for anything.

[*Jess♥]

my first thought is wasp.

[Bobby]

Looks like a Cricket to me. Like the Pokémon Kicketune.

[Toku Warrior]

Well, for the Faiz arc it did seem it bit rushed in a few places of its general plot but it did come out good. I like how they ended that world arc. Now the next world, which is the 6th one now, is gonna be that of Agito. I hope they do this one justice as I like that series.

I know that Deka didn't care for it much so maybe they'll do it to where he might like Decades version.

[Guest DecadeRed]

i'm actually lookin 4ward 2 the agito arc, i did like the agito characters and designs and powerups, i jus didn't understand the storyline, prob coz of stupid hk subs. I am eagerly watchin OoZ's version, to try an like it.

As for the faiz arc, it was rushed, it felt like they tried 2 squash the whole series in. Apart from diend an faiz double henshin, the best part, imo, was diend&kiva vs ryuga.

After agito its den-o (leadin into the movie), then kabuto, ending with hibiki.

[Toku Warrior]

That's how I think it'll end up going down the road of the worlds. That or they'll save Kabuto for last as it did have a nice rating when it aired. Then they'll make the KR Decade movie with the original actors returning to repraise their Rider roles one last time.

[Bobby]

That would rock.

[Guest DecadeRed]

another point i would like to make is... there has actually been no official word from toei about the episode count of decade. only what masahiro inoue (tsukasa) himself said in one magazine interview. plus the promo material for cho-den-o & decade seems to suggest its the first in a new series of movies, not a new den-o series as we first thought.

combine that with one of the original rumours about decade being split into two series, and the other thing... at the beginning of the next episode preview, at the top of the filmstrip it says 11a (or 12a at the end of the current episode). also another film strip near the bottom at the end of the preview says 29a, which maybe roughly suggests the 30 episode mark.

could there be a series b which takes place after all the universe hopping, which goes back to familiar kamen rider ground, bad guys in decade's world, he has to fight them off each week, and discover more about his origins, etc.

[Bobby]

As in Decade fighting his own batch of enemies like how Blade had the Undead, Kiva had the Fangires, and Den-O had the Imagins???

[Guest DecadeRed]

exactly. but maybe with help from the other riders from time to time.

and another thought. what if the huge rider battle in natsumi's dream, actually only involves 3 riders? decade, kuuga and... diend, who has summoned the rider army. rumours do say that kuuga may team up with diend to take on tsukasa when he goes mental. and the first thing we see is kuuga leadin the rider army into war against tsukasa.

[durendal]

Since Decade is getting a powerup, why not Diend too? Perhaps all those riders in the rider wars were summoned by Diend via powerups? Maybe Tsukasa would get a piece of his memory back by re-obtaining some his lost rider cards. I have a feeling that the destroyer of worlds is neither Decade or Diend, but instead they are there to stop the destroyer of worlds. Perhaps the world in confusion will be easier for the destroyer of worlds to corrupt, thus when Decade completes his mission on the rider worlds, the destroyer of world would have a hard time destroying said world because Decade already readied the last world he visited? I don't know, I guess I'm babbling nonsense now.

[Toku Warrior]

Actually I really like the theory D. So we may actually have a near 50 episode series....(prays really hard). First 29 (Side A) is the traveling of the worlds and then the other 21 (Side B) is about him defending his own world againstnoth new and old monsters with the aid of the other Riders. That does sound better.

So let's see. Each world gets 2 episodes an arc. 1 was the intro, 2-3 was Kuuga, 4-5 was Kiva, 6-7 was Ryuuki, 8-9 was Blade, 10-11 was Faiz, 12-13 is Agito so that means 14-19 are Den-O, Kabuto and Hibiki. That leaves 20-29 or just 20-30 tp fill in the gaps and to do the Rider War.

[Guest DecadeRed]

durendal, i like your theory. maybe it's really narutaki who is doing all the bad stuff. and knowing tsukasa has lost his memory, he is messin with his head by blaming him, and telling him stuff like he has destroyed such and such a world (re, the end of ryuki world)

[Bobby]

That Narutaki does seem to have the power if he summoned Onyx & the Hoppers.

[Guest DecadeRed]

That Narutaki does seem to have the power if he summoned Ryuga & the Hoppers.

fixed it for ya

[Bobby]

I like referring to him by his American name.
