A Disgrace To The Name Kamen Rider
21 September 2010
I decided to give the show a 5 out of 10 overall out of sympathy due to the fact that the creators included Black and Black RX to the series but still, it did not serve the series much justice either

I would like to start by saying I HATE DECADE. He is the most arrogant and annoying main protagonist of all my years as a Kamen Rider fan. How could have TOEI came up with this idea anyway? The plot didn't help much either since apart from where he would go next, it was pretty obvious that the only thing about this series is that Decade/Tsukasa only enters from 1 world to another for in my opinion nothing whatsoever and this got boring after a few episodes. Even though I was grateful for them introducing Black and RX back into the series, I feel that after the Hibiki world, they should have just skipped straight to Diend's world, let Decade find his Decadriver there and then straight away moved to the finale of the series since introducing more of these mysterious worlds didn't help changed my mood either. Most of all, I would really have preferred it better if they turned Decade evil at the end and let him get destroyed by possibly Rising Ultimate Kuuga, Double (who made a cameo appearance in the first movie) or even better yet Black or RX himself

The part where I find disgusted the most is that this was suppose to be a celebration for TOEI's 20th anniversary for producing the Kamen Rider show but sadly in my opinion, they ruined it by creating Decade. I hated Decade himself more than I hated the series since he does not have his own powers and most of the time likes to depend on the rider forms (transforming into other Kamen Riders) in order to beat his enemies. Of course he would still be strong without the cards but in my opinion, he would have had a more challenging time winning his battles if he could not turn into any rider forms and it got worse with the introduction of his complete form which was just totally plain horrible and disastrous. I mean what was the deal with sticking all of those cards all over his body. To add more insult to his complete form, there is no originality at all in it and to add up with Tsukasa's bossy and arrogant attitude just made me hated him more than ever

In the end, I appreciate TOEI for bringing back all of our favorite past Heisei riders as a treat to the fans but in my opinion, the way they did it was not to say that it was bad but it was not that good either. I feel that like this was really an unfair show for fans like me especially when they introduced back the showa riders only to make a mockery out of them by letting them get defeated so easily by Decade. I feel that it would have been better if the creators have scrapped out the Decade idea and took Kamen Rider Double/W or Accel as their main rider instead or created a movie version of their Kamen Rider Seigi No Keifu game. That would have really made a lot better than we were given here

So sorry if I am giving too much negative comments here but I just had to since I am totally sad by what I had been given here and because of this also, I decided that I couldn't be bothered to watch this show and focused on watching the US Kamen Rider Dragon Knight instead which was way much better in my opinion

So to sum things up, this was like a epic failed show for me. However, I am sure and have faith in TOEI that they will come out with a much better series in the future
