Kamen Rider Decade/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Thanks to the crossover premise, the fans were expecting a super speed duel involving Clock Up from ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]'' and the Accel ability from ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'' - and boy did they deliver.

** The [[Kamen Rider Black]]/[[Kamen Rider Black RX]] arc was a definite example of overwhelming rejoicing of the fandom. This is complete with Tatsuo Kurata reprising his role as Kotaro Minami.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: [[Kamen Rider Double|Double's]] appearance in ''All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker''; {{spoiler|he simply rides in, hands Shadow Moon his ass on a platter (after SM beat Decade AND Rising Ultimate Kuuga at the same time), sends him flying into the Dai-Shocker HQ, then rides off}}. However, the aftermath of the BLAM gives all Riders an extremely wide opening to perform the All Rider Kick.

** It does later get a nod, however, in ''Movie Wars''.

* [[Broken Base]]: On one side, people who like ''Decade'' enjoy it because they feel it's a celebration of what makes ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' great while having an interesting [[Myth Arc]] story. On the other side, people who dislike it feel that the overuse of [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|Suspiciously Similar Substitutes]] ruins what could have been a great [[Reunion Show]] and that [[The Worf Effect|every returning character was weakened to make Decade look stronger]]. However, both sides generally agree that the show should have had more than two episodes per plot arc.

* [[Cargo Ship]]: thanks to what happened to him in ''Diend'' world, Yusuke/''Kivaala''.

** It must be stated if you know nothing about Kamen Rider, the aforementioned video is the greatest [[Mind Screw]] on the entire internet.

** [[Gackt]] would like you to know that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U3n_4q6cug&fmt=18 You're the Next Decade].

** {{spoiler|Though, Natsumi prior to being Kivara was Den-o for one episode, and was killed off a couple of episodes later. She gets better.}}

* [[Fan Nickname]]: Diend, also known as ''Radiator Man'' due to the grill setup of his helmet and chest armor. Decade is often referred to as ''Watermelon'' due to his coloring.

** The Taurus Ballista Lord being named the "[[Useful Notes/Basketball|Chicago Bulls]] Mascot."

** Yusuke is "Yuseless," due to his lack of doing anything. If fans are feeling more charitable, they call him Newsuke.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Before he became Yusuke Onodera, Ryota Murai appeared in ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O|Den-O: Climax Deka]]'' as the rookie cop who works with the Den-Liner crew. And [[Retroactive Recognition|flipping the trope around]], fans probably know Ryosuke Miura better as [[Kamen Rider OOO|Ankh/Shingo Izumi]] than they do as the Tiger Orphnoch from ''Decade'''s World of Faiz arc.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: While this show features the first ''[[Super Sentai]]''/''[[Kamen Rider]]'' crossover, ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Masked Rider]]'' crossed over first. At the end of the ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'' crossover, the world of ''[[Kamen Rider Black RX]]'', the show ''Masked Rider'' used footage from, is revealed to be the next world.

** About ''Gokaiger'' again, though more subtly: the first ''Shinkenger'' episode of ''Decade'' was one of the very few times in ''Decade'' where the Kamen Rides (both Diend's and Decade's) had a thematic link to the episode's theme (''Shinkenger'', ''Ryuki'' and ''Den-O'' were all written by [[Yasuko Kobayashi]]); ''Gokaiger'' turned out to be far more liberal in its usage of such thematic transformations into past heroes in episodes with alumni guest stars.

** In one of the Net Movies, ''[[Shin Kamen Rider]]'' imagines [[What Could Have Been]] if his show took off, like meeting up with a ''child fan'' - of [[Bloodier and Gorier|Shin Kamen Rider]]. [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|You know, FOR KIDS!]]

*** {{spoiler|Also replace the words justice and seeking to be stronger with sanity and refusing Grief Seeds respectively.}}

** Faiz's world is a [[High School AU]]. Which has Orphenoch hiding out in the school. Since they're pretty much zombies, does this count as a [[Highschool of the Dead]]?

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: ''[[Kamen Rider Kuuga|"Mo' fear! Mo' pain! No henshin, Kamen Rider Kuuga!"]]''

** {{smallcaps|ONORE, DI[[Just for Pun|C]]KEIDO!}} (Yes, the show's unique pronunciation of "Decade" is [[Don't Explain the Joke|part of the meme]]<ref>It should be ''Dikeido'', actually, but...Just check the highlighted letter.</ref>)

** [[media:junichitroll_3638.jpg|Junichi Kaito's rather]] [[Nightmare Face|unsettling smile]].

** {{spoiler|Decade has no story.}}

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Judging by her reaction, Momotaros-possessed Yuusuke was this for Natsumi.

** Some of the deaths in this series, particularly Great Shocker's assault on [[The Multiverse]], where people get killed ''onscreen''.

*** It's a [[Mythology Gag]] to the original ''[[Kamen Rider Amazon]]'', where humans brainwashed by the Geddon inexplicably had make-up applied after the process. And ''that'' has unfortunate implications in itself.

* [[The Untwist]]: It's hard to not see the {{spoiler|Tsukasa is leader of Daishocker}} twist coming when the initial rumors were that Tsukasa was either gonna be an [[Otaku]] or an {{spoiler|[[Evil Overlord]]}}.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: {{spoiler|No, Fourteen, forcing your most loyal servant watch his brother get brainwashed while telling him you've been lying to him the entire time about his education program WILL HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES WHATSOEVER.}}

** In the world of Black RX, Apollo Geist claims that Tsukasa is trapped in the parallel world of Black forever. As he is saying this, meanwhile in that other area, Schwarian leaves a portal to the world of Black RX open while fighting Decade.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Early rumors claimed that Decade would be a high school [[The Ace|Ace]] named Jun Ryusei who was given the Decadriver by a corporation in order to continue the legacy of the Kamen Riders, and that his mentor would be [[Kamen Rider Blade|Garren]]. Interestingly, the rumors made Jun seem like ''more'' of a [[Jerkass]] than Tsukasa, and yet quite a few people who liked the idea of Jun turned right back around and hated Tsukasa...

** Other rumors claimed that in Kabuto's world, Tendou and Kagami would be rival TV show hosts, Tendou with a cooking show and Kagami a variety show. Tell me THAT wouldn't have been entertaining.
