The series started with Natsumi’s dream, the Great Rider War where Decade emerged victorious. We are now then brought in the Hikari Photo Studio, with customers complaining about Tsukasa’s photography. Because of this, Natsumi decides to find Tsukasa. After Natsumi found Tsukasa and did her family’s special move, the Laughing Pressure Point, he explains why the pictures turned out bad. Tsukasa didn’t belong in this world.
After the argument, a strange event happened. Various monsters suddenly attacked the city. In the ruble, Natsumi found a belt and a book that carries strange cards. He gave the said items to Tsukasa and he transforms into Kamen Rider Decade. After having a taste of power as Decade, we later learned his mission. He must save the worlds. With that in mind, he sets on to his journey.
As the series progressed, we are introduced to Yusuke Onodera, the alternate universe Rider of Yusuke Godai, the original Kamen Rider Kuuga, he later on joins Tsukasa. Later, we are introduced to Narutaki, a prophet who warns the worlds about the destroyer, Decade. Lastly, we are introduced to Daiki Kaito, know as Kamen Rider Diend, a thief whose only interest is to steal I mean treasure hunt each Rider Worlds’ rare artifacts.
On to the review, if I would sum up Kamen Rider Decade in a phrase, it would be: An Idiot’s Guide of Everything About Kamen Rider. This show gives us a taste of what Kamen Rider is all about. The good thing about Decade is that they did the thing that is impossible, till Decade came along is the crossovers with other Riders.
Back in the Showa Era, after the said Rider’s series will end, there is an 80% chance that the Rider will appear in the latest show… until the Heisei Era came along. Because of this, most fans dreams came true like, what if Kabuto’s Clock Up and Faiz Axel Form will meet in battle? Those questions, where answered in Decade.
Another thing that I liked in Decade is the finale. Even though it is a cliffhanger finale and thus made some fans curse, it felt like you gave me something to give a higher expectation. Since the finale is a cliffhanger, I expect that the finale will be something explosive and awe striking.
Now the negatives in Decade, first is the plot. In the earlier episodes, the plot was great… until in some point in turned out to be confusing. There are arcs that stand-out namely Kuuga’s World Arc, Hibiki’s World Arc, and the Black X Black RX’s Worlds Arc.
Second, is Narutaki. At first he had this sort of power to summon the original Riders to fight Decade but as the series progress, all he does is to complain. IT’S DECADE’S FAULT!
Next, is the Daiki Kaito, I mean, what the hell Toei?! What is the use of Daiki in the series if all he does is to steal, transform, distract and go invisible?! At least he had some use in some episodes like in Hibiki’s World Arc.
Overall, Decade is a fun series to watch. In my own opinion, it is the best show to introduce a newbie in the Kamen Rider Franchise.
