Kamen Rider Decade: Difference between revisions

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accompanying him on this journey is Natsumi Hikari, a girl whose family runs the photography studio that Tsukasa stays at, and who has been having [[Dreaming of Things to Come|a recurring nightmare]] where she witnesses the Rider War: a vast conflict that sees every Kamen Rider fall to Decade. There's also Yusuke Onodera, the [[Alternate Universe]] [[Kamen Rider Kuuga]] who befriends Tsukasa and decides to join him on his journey across the worlds.

As time goes by, it becomes evident that there are more than ten worlds caught up in the dimensional turmoil, and that a dark power lies at its root. Tsukasa also manages to attract some recurring antagonists: Daiki Kaito, an [[Phantom Thief|inter-dimensional thief]] who can transform into [[The Rival|Kamen Rider Diend]] and [[Summon Magic|summon past Kamen Riders]] to fight for him; and Narutaki, a mysterious man who believes that Decade is the source of [[The Multiverse]]'s destruction and will do anything it takes to stop him.

 

 

The character, [[Transformation Trinket|Henshin Belt]] and storyline were clearly intended to also tie-in to the ''Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbaride'' game released in arcades across Japan. Not that we would ever think that this series is [[Merchandise-Driven]].

 

For the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' equivalent, see ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]''.

 

** Not to mention the brief period in Kabuto's world where Masahiro Inoue plays both Tsukasa and the Worm that's copied his form.

*** This was apparently supposed to happen again in the original draft for ''The Last Story'', which would have featured an [[Evil Twin]] of Tsukasa, but obviously it was removed in the rewrite.

** Averted with {{spoiler|Hikari Eijirou and [[The Other Darrin]] Dr. Shinigami - thanks to a [[Kamen Rider Double|Dopant Memory]], they're the same guy.}}

** The roses in Ibuki's transformation may be a reference to the fact that Jouji Shibue's first big role was Tuxedo Kamen in ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]''.

*** Weren't roses generally associated with the anime version of Tuxedo Kamen? The manga and live action versions didn't use them, as I recall.

** Den-O is pretty much identical and uses the same actors. The interior of the train is the same as the new interior from ''Final Countdown'' (where it is treated as new in-story), although the ''Final Countdown'' train is blue.

*** That's because it was the New DenLiner, Kotaro's train; the ''Decade'' version has the old DenLiner's exterior with the new one's interior.

* [[Ascended Meme]]: The "CHEESE!" gag in Blade's World is a nod to the "Ondoru-go" meme from [[Kamen Rider Blade]].

* [[Asskicking Pose]]: made [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|egregious]] in the climax of ''All Riders'', wherein the Riders perform their poses during their battle with Shocker. Not before the battle nor after, but ''while fighting at the same time''. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]

* [[The Atoner]]: Diend's got a lousy way of showing it, however.

* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Dream on, Momotaros. Played straight with {{spoiler|[[Kamen Rider X|King Dark]] and [[Kamen Rider J|J]].}}

* [[A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing]]: In Faiz world, Yuri later brings up that she "never saw Takumi's real face", because {{spoiler|Takumi was secretly both Faiz and an Orphnoch. Crazily enough, this "wolf in sheep's clothing" is the [[Visual Pun|Wolf Orphnoch]].}}

* [[Badass Biker]]: well, it is Kamen Rider, after all...except for Diend, who lacks a bike. The net-movies lampshades this by having the characters try and get a bike for Diend. {{spoiler|They eventually do, but it turns out to be Tsukasa's bike in a room that happened to be shining cyan light, thus making the bike look like it's Diend's as opposed to Decade's.}}

** Additionally, {{spoiler|Yuusuke is killed in the last episode and revived by Kivara, making him [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]. Tsukasa himself is killed in ''The Last Story'' but then revived by Natsumi, Yuusuke, Kaitou, and the AR Riders.}}

** He really gets to be the [[Badass Normal]] in the video for The Next Decade.

* [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]: Once Decade gets [[Super Mode|Complete Form]], whenever he faces a Rider or monster from a certain world, his go-to tactic becomes summoning that world's rider in its own [[Super Mode]]. [[Curb Stomp Battle|This goes as well for the other guy as you would expect.]]

* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: Tsukasa spends the entire series proving he's not the Destroyer of Worlds, befriending other Kamen Riders and bettering their worlds instead of [[Kill 'Em All|killing all of them]]. The movie comes along, and it briefly looks like he will become the Destroyer, but rejects that because it's not who he is or wants to be. And then... he gets tossed into the Kamen Rider Wars with all the other Kamen Riders trying to kill him because, uh... well, because that's what the series had been doing flash forwards to the entire time so it was ''going'' to happen, dammit. At that point he apparently gave up, realizing that the franchise was never going to end unless he started beating the crap out of other Kamen Riders, and became the [[Designated Villain]].

* [[Big Bad]]: It's...[[Zig-Zagging Trope|weird]]. The closest thing to a generic big bad is the very first enemy Decade takes on. However it's ''true'' big bad is hard to decipher. {{spoiler|Is it [[Legion of Doom|Dai-Shocker?]] [[One-Winged Angel|Apollo Geist?]] [[Villain Protagonist|Tsukasa?]] [[Troll|Narutaki?]] [[Diabolus Ex Nihilo|Doras?]]}}

** {{spoiler|Dai-Shocker}} is the [[Big Bad]], if you consider an organisation itself to be a [[Big Bad]] instead of a single person. {{spoiler|They are revealed as the instigators behind the fusing of the worlds, basically so they can [[Take Over the World]]. The narrative weakness here is that the mastermind of this plot (pre-[[Identity Amnesia]] Tsukasa) is defeated/gives up this plan at the halfway point of the story. The rest of the series is spent fighting Dai-Shocker remnants who only had the loosest connection to the "world fusing" plan, which was ''the central focus of Decade''}}.

** All Riders in ''All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker''.

** The AR Riders in the ''The Last Story'' movie...twice.

** Kuuga's World: N-Gamio-Zeda and the Grongi are defeated, {{spoiler|but Yashiro dies}}.

** Kiva's World: The Beetle Fangire is defeated, {{spoiler|but he took Wataru's three servants with him, and he was his father}}.

** Amazon's World: Llumu Qhimil is defeated, {{spoiler|But there is still a safe bet that Amazon's World is still under Daishocker control}}.

** The Rider War World: Apollo Geist is defeated for good, {{spoiler|[[Downer Ending|but the worlds have fully merged, and the 9 riders attack Tsukasa with Kaito shooting him in the face.]] [[It Got Worse|It gets worse in The Last Story]]}}.

**** And as we learn later his presence in each world is connecting them. The Tagline is right.

* [[Body Horror]]/[[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: The Final Form Ride technique that Decade uses. They get used to it quick enough, but...''Riders aren't supposed to bend that way''. All of them have their head fold into their body.

*** As a note, most of the Final Form Ride transformations seem to be based on the [[Merchandise-Driven|toy version]], hence the Blade Blade's obvious handle and Den-O's head being folded in.

**** Subverted with Kuuga in ''The Last Story'', who turns into Ultimate Gouram without the use of a Final Form Ride card. {{spoiler|Doesn't stop Decade Fury Form from kicking his ass, though.}}

** Den-O's body does have to do some twisting, but his Final Form Ride is...Momotaros, which is his natural form anyway. Even then, he [[Running Gag|complains]] about the [[Painful Transformation]], both in ''Hibiki'' world and ''All Riders''.

*** However, his Final Attack Ride...well, let's just say Yuusuke's butt is gonna feel ''that'' for a month...

*** Like Den-O, Hibiki has Decade perform a different "activation pose"; unfortunately, it looks like nothing so much as an athletic butt slap.

** The ''Decade/[[Kamen Rider Double|Double]] Movie War 2010'' gives us a Final Form Ride for Double, which turns him into...{{spoiler|1=Double Doubles. Really. The FFR splits Double CycloneJoker into Double CycloneCyclone and Double JokerJoker, controlled by Philip and Shotaro separately. Still qualifies as [[Body Horror]] when you remember that at this point, Double is just Shotaro, meaning that the FFR split ''him'' in two as well and handed control of one of the bodies to Phillip.}}

** For a straighter example of [[Bolivian Army Ending]], there's {{spoiler|Gackt/Riderman.}} Not an actual ending, but the circumstances still count.

* [[Book Ends]]: Natsumi's first words in the show was "Decade...", her last words in the show were "DECADE!" the difference was in the mood. {{spoiler|There was also the Rider War as well.}}

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Happens to poor Yuusuke a grand total of three times, in Diend's World, ''All Riders vs Dai-Shocker'', and in the final episode, which carries over into ''The Last Story''. Though in the Diend World it's more like "Brainwashed And ''Mellow''".}}

* [[Brick Joke]]: when Daiki first appears in ''All Riders,'' he reveals to have stolen [[Kamen Rider Amazon|Amazon's]] Gigi bracelet ''again''. The end of the movie shows him giving it back.

* [[By the Power of Greyskull]]/[[In the Name of the Moon]]: Tsukasa's [[Catch Phrase]] alternates between the two, depending on the episode.

* [[The Cameo]]: Toshiki Kashu appears as [[Kamen Rider Agito|Shoichi Tsugami]] at the end of ''All Riders''.

** Joji Yuki (Riderman) in ''All Riders'' is played by [[Gackt]].

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "''I'm just a Kamen Rider passing through. You'd better remember me!"''. Also, "''This will tickle a bit''" or Diend's "''The pain will last only a moment''" before using any Final Form Ride the first time. (Yeah, [[Body Horror|no kidding]].)

** Don't forget Narutaki's {{smallcaps|ONORE, DICKEIDO!}}

** Den-O also gets his "Ore, Sanjo!" catchphrase interrupted by a Dai-Shocker [[Mook]] in All-Riders. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Cerebus Retcon]]: {{spoiler|Natsumi going from [[Tsundere]] comic relief to '''Tsukasa's killer''' in ''The Last Story''.}}

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: the photograph of Tsukasa that was taken by Natsumi near the beginning of ''The Last Story'', {{spoiler|which is what is used to revive Tsukasa for the final battle.}}

** At the end of the third episode in the series, when Yuuske is riding off, you get a view of a small, white bat-like thing similar to Kivat from [[Kamen Rider Kiva]]. Kivala soon becomes a recurring character traveling with Tsukasa and the others. Finally, in the last Decade movie...{{spoiler|she becomes Natsumi's transformation trinket.}}

** Hikari Eijirou doesn't have that excuse, though. He can appreciate Tsukasa's messed-up photos - [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|and after a while, other people agree.]] Also note his interactions with Kivaara.

* [[Combined Energy Attack]]: The Final Kamen Attack Form Ride card in ''All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker''.

** When summoned in ''Hibiki'' world, Momotaros freaks out over seeing Oni Riders, seeing as he had to deal with another kind of Oni in the ''Den-O X Decade'' movie.

** Tsukasa in ''Super Hero Taisen'' gets back his hairstyle from ''Movie Wars: Last Act'' {{spoiler|as the Shocker Great Leader.}}

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Tackle, in the movie. Unlike [[Kamen Rider Stronger|the original Tackle]], this younger [[Alternate Universe]] version of her appears to be kind of a ditz and briefly becomes pretty much the [[X-Men/Characters/90s Members|Jubilee]] to Tsukasa's [[Wolverine]]. Then she beat seven Mooks in one hit and forced a monster to retreat, saving Natsumi and effectively helping to revive Decade, all while {{spoiler|being [[Dead All Along]]}}.

* [[Dark Age of Supernames]]: Both played straight and averted with DiEnd, as his name is creatively misspelled, but actually means The End, not Die End.

* [[Dark Reprise]]: Pay attention to the music that plays during [[The Reveal]] of the Great Leader in ''All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker''.

** A non-musical example: Upon meeting Decade, [[Kamen Rider Black RX|Black RX]] declares that he won't have his way with his world and prepares to attack him, but is stopped by Natsumi. Guess what happens when Decade crosses into the [[Darker and Edgier]] parallel world of ''[[Kamen Rider Black]]'' alone?

* [[Death From Above]]: About two-thirds of the way through the series, Kaitou takes to firing his Attack Ride - Blast upwards, causing it to rain down on a small area and hit several opponents at once.

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Kuuga, until ''Agito'' world onwards. Probably the worst expression of this is the Hyper Battle DVD, which marks the one and only time [[Super Mode|Decade Complete Form]] summons Ultimate Kuuga using the K-Touch - while Yusuke stands off to the side doing nothing.

** And Diend having to use "Attack Ride - Diend Blast" when his weapon is already a gun...

*** His default shots are like shotgun blasts. Diend Blast gives his shots rapid-fire ''and'' homing properties. In later episodes it lets him make it ''rain Lasers''.

** It might also have to do with the fact that Decade has his own "Attack Ride - Blast" card and the staff [[One Steve Limit|may have wanted to avoid duplicating names]].

** A brief moment in Diend World:

Tsukasa: "[[Lampshade Hanging|That's really unnecessary...]]" }}

** Also Ryuuki-Decade who had a DragVisor on his arm (for loading cards) but still has the Decadriver (for loading cards).

** Tsukasa and Yuusuke's conversation in Den-O world:

Yuusuke: [[Idiot Hero|What's a train that travels through time?]] You mean, like a time machine? }}

* [[Depth Deception]]: When Den-O's series Final Form Ride activates (turning Den-O into Momotaros), the closeup leads the viewer to believe it's Momotaros gone giant...but it's just an illusion.

* [[Detachment Combat]]: Jouji Yuuki a.k.a. [[Kamen Rider V 3|Riderman]].

* [[Ditto Fighter]]: The Jumenki, ruler of Amazon's world, doesn't transform into any new-gen Rider like Decade does but he can perform any of their attacks.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: "Tsukasa, have you eaten sea cucumber yet?"

* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: "Ride the Wind" by Masahiro Inoue (Tsukasa) and "Treasure Sniper" by Kimito Totani (Daiki).

* [[Droste Image]]: Complete Form has a card on its forehead. This card has an image of Complete Form, which also has a card on its forehead. This repeats into infinity, and is exploited for the Complete Form [[Transformation Sequence]].

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: The AR Riders in ''The Last Story''.

** ''Movie War 2010'' sees Ryu Terui in [[The Stinger]] before he properly appeared on TV. And as mentionned in [[Body Horror]] above, {{spoiler|1=Double JokerJoker}} is either this or [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] in regards to {{spoiler|1=Kamen Rider Joker from ''Double'''s second movie}}.

** Decade himself got the treatment in the [[Affectionate Parody]] short, [[Kamen Rider G]].

* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: Tell Diend about a treasure greater than the cool weapon he's trying to steal, and he assumes you're talking about some kind of [[More Dakka|better weapon]]. Though sometimes, mainly in the later part of series, he does get it. And on one occasion he gets that the greater treasure is friendship and tries to take it away anyway just to be a dick.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNQ0PfBoi5Y Narutaki sure has his fair share] of evil chuckles when Decade finds himself in a hole.

* [[Evil Twin]]: {{spoiler|The Nega World's evil Riders took on the forms of Natsumi's friends from the TG Club.}}

* [[Executive Meddling]]: Movie Wars 2010 was initially announced as a Double feature with a Decade movie called Decade vs All Riders and a W movie called Episode Zero. Eventually, the entire project was reformulated, turning it into a Triple feature and heavily changing the overall content of the Decade story which lost the All Riders label and ended up very different from the original preview, even having to basically ignore the some twists of the show's cliff hanger ending due to the shorter running time.

** Put it this way: after the final episode of the TV series ended on a [[Cliff Hanger]], they immediately showed a preview for Movie Wars 2010, billing it as "the final episode of Decade's story". ''Not one scene in that preview was in the final movie''. They ''did'' include the scenes in the director's cut, but it was just the same scenes from the preview.

** There's also Kenzaki's actor, who was contracted for the movie, but ended up just doing a few generic yells as Blade in a very quick scene, making most people not even notice that it was the original actor voicing the Blade that fought against Decade.

** That's also what happens when an Imagin possesses you. If it was true enough for ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O|Den-O]]'', which was the only Heisei Rider world that came relatively unchanged to ''Decade'', then it's true enough for ''Decade''.

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Decade makes a HARD turn in the final episode. He quickly fulfills his role as the destroyer of the worlds, as seen in the opening scenes of the second movie.

* [[Fake Shemp]]: Faiz in ''The Last Story''; it's intended to be Takumi Ogami (the AR version), but we never see him out of costume or hear him speak.

** Also, most Heisei Riders in All Riders vs Dai-Shocker, just grunt or don't make any sounds at all. That's because, according to some extra material, like character guides and even the official site, they're supposed to be the original Riders, but there was only one returning actor out of the 8 previous Heisei Riders there (not including Kuuga, who was Onodera, not Godai).

* [[Finger-Poke of Doom]]: Natsumi's nerve thumb attack seems to channel fellow [[Tsundere]] Sun Shangxiang from the movie ''[[Red Cliff]]'', except that one triggers laughter and the other, unconsciousness.

** It makes humans laugh; Worms, however, cry instead, much to her surprise.

** An inhumanly subtle piece of foreshadowing crops up when the Riders are leaving at the end of ''All Riders vs Dai-Shocker''. Momotaros tells Tsukasa not to summon him again because he's super busy. He's referring to <s>his constant [[Wolverine Publicity]] as described on that page</s> the new trio of ''Cho Den-O'' movies that are in production. Yet Momo's kind enough to betray his words just once and save Tsukasa's ass from Super Shocker's army in ''Movie War 2010''. (Mind you, that movie was released before the ''Cho Den-O'' trilogy was even announced.)

** In Hibiki World, Tsukasa seems to be a little bit enthusiastic when Hibiki told him he's the ''daishishou''<ref>'''Great''' Master</ref> of the three Ongeki arts, possibly stirring something up from his memory.

** Ego: Natsumi

* [[Gender Flip]]: The early worlds, written by Sho Aikawa, all had minor changes that fit here. Ichijo Kaoru's role is replaced by female detective Ai Yashiro. Prince Wataru is the son of a female human violinist and a Fangire King, rather than a human male violinist and a Fangire Queen. The name of the newspaper in the new Ryuki world is Atashi Journal, (Atashi is a feminine "I") rather than "Ore" Journal (Ore is a rough, masculine "I").

* [[George Jetson Job Security]]: BOARD in Blade's world. It's laughably easy to be demoted and fired for minor mistakes, even when carried out with the best of intentions. This may have more to do with the boss than anything else.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Yuki Johji in [[The Movie]] can do this [[Badass Normal|WITH HIS GOOD ARM]].

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: {{spoiler|King Dark.}} No foreshadowing whatsoever.

** [[Gotta Catch Them All]] through [[Kill'Em All]]: In ''The Last Story'', {{spoiler|Decade must kill all Riders and collect the cards left behind by their explosive deaths. Why? Because it turns out that their cards are the key to restoration of the multiverse.}}

* [[Heel Realization]]: part of Diend's backstory.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Tsukasa allows Kiva-la to impale him on her sword in order to complete his mission and restore the multiverse and all the Riders. He gets better.}}

* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: courtesy of Narutaki spreading rumors of Decade being the "destroyer of worlds".

** Yusuke and Kazuma are both played by actors who appeared in ''Fuuma no Kojirou''.

*** There are actually no less than eight actors in Decade who were part of those musicals, including Masahiro Inoue/Tsukasa himself.

** The Tiger Orphenoch is played by Beetle Sazer from ''[[Chou Sei Shin Series|Chousei Kantai Sazer-X]]''. Plus some bonus [[Retroactive Recognition]], now that the actor plays Ankh on ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]''.

*** And in the ''All Riders VS Dai-Shocker'' movie, it turns out that that's not the AU Agito at the end, since it's Toshiki Kashuu. (ie: the original [[Kamen Rider Agito|Agito]]).

** Narutaki was in the [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''[[Death Note]]'' as one of the police investigators assisting L.

** The voice actor for Amazon in [[The Movie]] is [[Tomokazu Seki]]; no wonder that Amazon is more [[Hot-Blooded]] in this incarnation.

** [[Kamen Rider Kiva|AR Wataru]] is played by the actor who played Jan when he turned into a little boy in [[Juken Sentai Gekiranger]].

** In ''The Last Story'', the new Bee Woman is [[Engine Sentai Go-onger|Kegalesia.]]

* [[High School AU]]: ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'' turns into one of these.

* [[Homage]]: Tsukasa in ''All Riders vs. Great Shocker'' resembles ''[[Kamen Rider Spirits]]''' [[Big Bad]], Judo. Which makes sense as both are {{spoiler|personifications of the Great Leader and have similar respective powers to transform into Riders of their era, Decade being able to transform into the nine main Hesei Kamen Riders (Kuuga to Kiva), while Judo is able to transform into the eight main Showa era Kamen Riders (Kamen Rider-1 to Super-1) as well as a golden version of [[Kamen Rider ZX|ZX]]. Judo doesn't take Riderman's form as he is considered a secondary Rider as well as more of a [[Badass Normal]] than the others.}}

* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: variant: {{spoiler|Tsukasa tries to talk ''not'' to the brainwashed Ultimate Kuuga, but to his sister Sayo, who was controlling the latter.}}

* [[I Was Just Passing Through|I'm Just A Passing Through Kamen Rider]]: [[Catch Phrase|Remember that!]]

* [[Image Song]]: The Next Decade, in [[Gackt]]'s able hands, essentially becomes this for his version of Riderman. And it is, as noted, '''[[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome]]'''.

* [[In Medias Res]]: ''All Riders'' begins this way.

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: Decade's armor isn't pink, dammit, it's magenta!

* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: As if jaunting between AU worlds of previous Kamen Riders wasn't enough, episodes 24-25 are a crossover arc with ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'' that is canon for both sides.

* [[It's Not You, It's My Enemies]]: {{spoiler|AU!Agito's reason for abandoning the G3 Unit, and Toko Yashiro.}}

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: This show is ''Kamen Rider Very Kind Jerks''. There's a good reason why fandom calls Kaitou a Troll and Tsukasa's nickname is ''Dick''eido.

** The costume design book ''Detail of Heroes 04: Kamen Ride'' shows that they did in fact make Form Ride cards for Den-O (including Wing Form), as well as another attack for Ax Form, but they [[Demoted to Extra|were never used]].

* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: If one sees Tsukasa as the villain of the piece (being the "destroyer of worlds" and whatnot), this could be how to describe his destroying the Perfecter as he throws it to Apollo Geist.

* [[The Kid with the Remote Control]]: In the warped version of ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'', Wataru is a young boy who still has most of the powers of Kiva, including Castle Doran and the Arms Monsters, but no Tatsulot or Emperor Form.

** Though AU Wataru was shown using the Zanbat Sword in his regular Kiva Form during the Rider War against Blade, Garren, Leangle and the Undead. {{spoiler|And uses the Emperor Form thanks to Decade, in ''The Last Story''.}}

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Amid fandom complaints of ''Decade'''s story being incomprehensible or pointless, Wataru declares late in the show that "Decade has no story".

* [[Large Ham]]: The Dai Shocker commanders, save Apollo Geist, are ''very'' hammy.

** While Natsumi was arrested in Ryuki's world Tsukasa constantly teased her by calling her criminal since she c ouldn't hit with her Laughter Pressure Point while in cuffs after going back in time and preventing Natsumi from getting arrested she manages to hit him with a Laughter Pressure Point at the end.

** [[The Remnant]]: Super Shocker in ''The Last Story'', formed from the leftovers of Dai-Shocker's army.

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: "I'm a passing-through Kamen Rider. Remember that. Henshin!"

* [[The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday]]: Hikari Studio, which seems to supplant whatever shop was there before it arrives in the world. Crosses into [[Mythology Gag]] as the building being replaced was often the [[Good Guy Bar]] (in Kuuga and Kiva) or otherwise significant in the original series.

** Amusingly, after an Imagin tampers with the timeline in ''Den-O'' world, the studio becomes ''attached to the DenLiner''.

** In Shinkenger, Jii mentions his confusion on how the studio has apparently replaced a ''hospital'' that he was supposed to go to.

* [[Magikarp Power]]/[[Lethal Joke Character]]: Despite being [[Fan Nickname|Yuuseless]] for most of the series, Yuusuke eventually gains access to Kuuga Rising Ultimate Form, becoming stronger than even '''the original Kuuga.'''

* [[Make My Monster Grow|Make My Decade Grow]]: Diend does this in ''All Riders''. The villain of the Shinkenger World {{spoiler|doesn't do this in spite of technically being a ''[[Super Sentai]]'' monster because becoming a Rider changed his biology, removing his second giant life.}}

* [[Man in White]]: Not completely dressed in it, but the original Wataru wears a white jacket and scarf in all his appearances. Contrast to {{spoiler|the original Kenzaki}}, who wears all black.

** Tackle from ''[[Kamen Rider Stronger]]'' becomes this to Decade in ''The Last Story''.

** N-Gamio-Zeda's first two syllables are a sound alike to "End Game", which fits the bill pretty well due to his [[Big Bad|position]] in Kuuga's world and how his actions are similarly close to how a [[Season Finale]] of a [[Kamen Rider]] show would go.

*** [[Hilarious in Hindsight|And considering how it's spilled into]] [[Kamen Rider Double|the following season...]]

** It's kind of obvious when the S.I.C. of Kabuto, the next figure released after Decade, can not only be turned into Zecter Kabuto but comes with its own Decadriver that can mount in place of the Zecter, making him AR Kabuto and Decade [[Power Copying]] Kabuto in one package.

*** And now they're making an S.I.C. of Decade!Kuuga, with the ability to turn into the Kuuga Gouram (as well as Amazing Mighty Form). Of course, this could be seen as a justified update, Kuuga is a popular Rider and the original S.I.C. was released in 2001.

** This is actually a [[Mythology Gag]] due to the immense [[Mondegreen]] involved with the line delivering in ''[[Kamen Rider Blade]]''. The Japanese fandom even invented a language to cover it called [http://tinyurl.com/ondul Ondulish].

* [[Moral Dissonance]]: {{spoiler|The original Kamen Riders apparently thought that the best way to protect the multiverse is by sending Tsukasa to kill the Riders from the A.R. Worlds, and chew Tsukasa out because he helped the A.R. Riders instead, which just made things worse. What makes it pass from [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremism]] into this trope is the fact that a Kamen Rider would '''never''' consider this an acceptable course of action and would [[Take a Third Option]].}}

** ''The Last Story'' reveals that {{spoiler|destroying all the Showa and Heisei riders was actually the correct course of action. After doing so (and being destroyed himself) everything went back to normal...if you don't count the fact that Super Shocker still needed to be stopped. Based on that, it's possible that the Riders deliberately attacked Decade in order to provoke him into destroying all the Riders in order to save them. However, this doesn't change the fact that they were willing to let Decade be destroyed in a "needs of the many" fashion.}}

* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: For some reason, Tsukasa keeps calling [[Kamen Rider Den-O|Kohana]] "[[Manga/Chibi Maruko-chan|Maruko]]". In ''Onigashima Warship'', set after the Den-O arc, he calls her "Hanamaruko-chan".

** Most likely a [[Throw It In]] moment as Kohana's hairstyle resembled [[Chibi Maruko-chan|Chibi Maruko Chan]].

** Even the American adaptations get a little nod. In ''All Riders'', when all the Riders perform a Rider Kick, you can catch RX and Ryuki appear together in the same shot performing the kick - the two Rider series at the time that became localized in America.

*** In the same vein, the climax of ''The Last Story'' begins with the appearance of [[Kamen Rider ZO|Doras]] and a new [[Kamen Rider Black RX|Crisis Fortress]], both of which feature prominently in ''Saban's [[Masked Rider]]''.

* [[Name's the Same]]: A girl called Natsumi with violent tendencies? [[Keroro Gunsou|Seen it.]] [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Twice.]]

** As we noted above in this page, Tsukasa is a Cloudcuckoolander. Applicable to both Kadoya and [[Lucky Star|Hiiragi]].

* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: A particularly extreme version: There was a trailer for the conclusion movie at the end of Episode 31. It showed, amongst other things, {{spoiler|a "real" Tsukasa who was apparently the true villain, a badass Natsumi with a sniper rifle, Kuuga ''killing'' Diend (or at the very least having his arm buried to the elbow in Diend's gut), and Kamen Rider Kivala, who apparently has nothing to do with Natsumi.}} The only place where trailer and film line up is {{spoiler|Kivara fighting Decade}}, and even then the scenes are completely different.

** With the release of the Director's Cut version of the conclusion movie, though, Toei seems to have covered their tracks ever so slightly and moved that trailer into [[Canon Discontinuity]] by {{spoiler|adding in parts from that trailer (specifically the two Tsukasas) to the dream (a slightly different one from the first episode) Natsumi has at the movie's start.}}

* [[Oh Crap]]: In the final episode, everything seems to have turned out relatively well, all things considered. Super Apollo Geist is dead, the crisis is averted...then Natsumi has a flashback to that [[Chekhov's Gun|dream]] she's been having.

** In ''All Riders'', Momotaros says that the transformation hurts after Decade uses it. Faiz, Blade, and Kiva don't say anything themselves...probably because A. those three riders lack proper voice actors in the movie and B. a gun, sword, and bow aren't the most talkative of objects.

* [[Palette Swap]]: Parodied in the net videos. Kaitou, sick of not having his own [[Cool Bike]], turns Decade's bike into one with his colour scheme by visiting the studio's colour control room and flipping things around. It gets pointed out rather blatantly when Decade enters the scene with a basket of apples, which are (along with his armor) cyan rather than magenta. When Tsukasa points this out, Kaitou rides off with it anyway.

** Which became [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when the "Machine Diender" actually shows up as Diend's ride in the climax of the 40th anniversary movie ''OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider''.

* [[Phlebotinum Breakdown]]: In Kabuto's World, Kabuto's Clock Up System is broken, trapping him in constant high-speed.

* [[Phrase Catcher]]: Villains seem physically compelled to ask Decade who he is (or, if they already know, who the hell he thinks he is) before a big rumble. Tsukasa always responds with his own [[Catch Phrase]].

* [[Pistol-Whipping]]: Kaito does this to Yuusuke in the Agito's World episodes in order to get the G4 Chip from him. It's enough to knock Yuusuke off his feet, but he's not badly hurt.

* [[Posthumous Character]]: {{spoiler|Yuriko Misaki, AKA Tackle, in ''The Last Story''.}}

* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: There are arguable examples regarding the Heisei Riders, but the main one involves the return of the Showa Riders, especially in the All Riders vs Dai-Shocker movie. Basically, the Showa Rider stat numbers for later shows often gave them ridiculously high numbers compared to the Heisei series (For the most obvious example, Super-1 in the beginning of his own show was stated to have 200 ton punches, which would make him twice as strong as Ultimate Kuuga). However, starting from here, and continuing in the later crossovers not centered on Decade, they're all portrayed in reasonably comparable levels.

* [[Power Incontinence]]: ''Kabuto's'' dilemma.

*** When ''Super Hero Wars: Kamen Rider vs. Super Sentai'' was announced, Inoue made a [http://ameblo.jp/masahiro-inoue/entry-11098890553.html blog post] where he talks about how he missed being a Rider and how much he looks forward to getting back to action.

* [[Prop Recycling]]: Raydragoons from [[Kamen Rider Ryuki]] function as [[Mooks]] in Nega World; in an amusing crossover with [[Real Life Writes the Plot]], Detail of Heroes explains that this is entirely because the makers of ''[[Kamen Rider Dragon Knight]]'' ordered Raydragoon costumes in bulk to use as the Mook in their series.

* [[Punch-Punch-Punch Uh-Oh]]: Decade vs. Den-O Ax Form.

** Also an example of an [[Idiot Ball]]. Tsukasa actually does the above trope ''twice''; he audibly says "Ow!" on the first one, then ''winds up and punches harder''.

** As sort of a punny pet name, there's "Natsumi-kan" (summer mandarins). Kaitou calls her "Natsumelon", which both Tsukasa and Natsumi herself "correct" (though Natsumi has a "wait a minute" moment afterwards).

* [[Reality Warper]]: The Decade and Diend powers; [[All There in the Manual|the official website]] says that their respective Drivers take the data from the Rider Cards and, using the power of the six elements, makes them manifest in reality. As if the [[Involuntary Shapeshifting|Final Form Rides]] weren't evidence enough...

* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: The reason [[Kamen Rider Agito|the original Gills and Another Agito]] never appear is apparently because there was a leak in the warehouse and the suits were effectively destroyed by water damage.

*** Not pink, Magenta.

* [[Reunion Show]]: Though most of the characters are [[The Other Darrin|recast]] or [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|replaced]], a good number of actors returned to reprise their roles, even if they're also AU counterparts. This includes most of the central casts of ''[[Kamen Rider Den-O|Den-O]]'' and ''[[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Hibiki]]'', as well as [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Wataru Kurenai/Kiva and Otoya Kurenai/Dark Kiva]], the Riders from ''[[Kamen Rider Blade|Missing Ace]]'', Kotaro Minami (as both [[Kamen Rider Black|Black]] '''and''' [[Kamen Rider Black RX|Black RX]]), [[Kamen Rider Blade|Kazuma Kenzaki/Blade]], and (in the movie only) [[Kamen Rider Agito|Shoichi Tsugami/Agito]]. The Riders summoned by Narutaki or Kivara (including [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|the Hoppers]], [[Kamen Rider Faiz|Kaixa]], and [[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Ohja]]) are also voiced by their original actors and are implied to be the real thing. Diend's summons are an odd case, as some have their original actors providing the voice, but seem to just be copies (as evidenced by the fact that a summoned Den-O/Momotaros has no qualms about fighting Tsukasa after the events of both the Den-O arc and the ''Chou Den-O and Decade'' movie, where they were allies).

** It's strange that the original Agito is one of the ones to demorph and speak to Decade at the end, as ''that'' Agito should not know Decade at all (the World of Agito's Agito was not played by the original actor, and was {{spoiler|a [[Composite Character]] of the series' three Riders}}.)

** Asakura/Ohja and Yaguruma/Kick Hopper return in ''All Riders vs. Dai Shocker'', and though they're never seen un-transformed, they're confirmed as the originals and have their original actors (and catch phrases.)

* [[Revised Ending]]: The series got [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IonI7PiUBM8&feature=player_embedded a different, and arguably much better, ending in reruns]. It also ties in far better to ''The Last Story'' than the original ending did.

** The new ending in question is that instead of {{spoiler|Decade's battle with the Original Riders leading up to Diend trolling the viewers by shooting Decade for a cliffhanger, the new ending sees Decade's battle with the Riders rapidly shift into the Rider War [[Book Ends|as (exactly, thanks to archive footage) witnessed at the beginning]].}}

* [[Rule of Three]]: The Diendriver can only summon up to 3 Kamen Riders at once.

** Also, the Riotrooper Kamen Ride Card summons 3 of them. Though, for some reason, during the events of ''Episode Yellow'' of the Cho Den-O Trilogy, the card summoned 5 Riotroopers.

** Momotaros, whenever he appears, always suffering neck pains one way or the other. Not just when his FFR activates, either.

** ...then becomes one in Diend's world.

** Likewise Garagaranda and Ikadevil from ''All Riders.''

*** {{spoiler|In the second movie, Natsumi becomes her own Rider, Kamen Rider Kivara.}}

* [[Ship Tease]]: There was plenty of Tsukasa/Natsumi going around, especially when he has even his own pet name for her. Highlighted in episodes 26 and 27 when {{spoiler|Natsumi takes a fatal hit meant for Tsukasa and nearly dies, which he takes hardly}}. Also, after {{spoiler|Tsukasa decides to leave Dai-Shocker, Natsumi offers him a place in her home}}.

* [[Shout-Out]]: The ''All Riders Super Spinoff'' videos include several, such as Rider Fashion Check hosts Narutaki and [[Kenichi Suzumura]] comparing [[Kamen Rider Double|Double]] to [[Mazinger Z|Baron Ashura]] and [[Kikaider]].

** Nobuhiko Tsukikage ([[Kamen Rider Black|Shadow Moon]]): "Tsukikage" means "Moon Shadow".

* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]: the Zanki (string) and Ibuki (wind) factions of Ongeki-Ryu in Hibiki World.

* [[Slouch of Villainy]]: {{spoiler|Tsukasa and, later,}} Shadow Moon.

** {{spoiler|As it turns out, though, he and Sakuya were only [[Jerkass Facade|pretending to be jerks]] to Kazuma in order to help teach him humility.}}

** So will [[Kamen Rider Faiz|Kusaka]].

* [[Something About a Rose]]: a [[Running Gag]] in the spinoff videos about Tsukasa wielding a rose.

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Decade's [[Super-Powered Evil Side]], which is variously called "Fury Form" (by fans) and "Violent Emotion" (by magazines and the S.H. Figuarts toy line). Both are acceptable translations for the Japanese name, Gekijoutai (激情態), though "Fury Form" is slightly more accurate.

* [[Spit Take]]: Tsukasa's reaction when Mayu says she actually likes his messed-up photos.

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Diend.

* [[Stealth Pun]]: in ''All Riders'', when Double appears to save Kuuga and Decade, which side of Double is Shadow Moon facing? '''BLACK'''.

* [[Story-Breaker Team-Up]]: The ''Shinkenger'' crossover, of sorts. Since nearly all Riders don't battle giant monsters on a weekly basis: bye bye, ''[[Super Sentai]]'' [[Humongous Mecha|humongous mechas]] and [[Make My Monster Grow]].

* [[Suicide by Cop]]: {{spoiler|In ''The Last Story'', Tsukasa allows Natsumi to kill him to end his rampage.}}

** Of note is that in the TV series, Den-O Liner Form is used instead of Super Climax Form. The toy version of the K-Touch has Kuuga Ultimate rather than Rising Ultimate as well.

*** If you haven't noticed from the last enumeration, two previous Riders gain new Super Modes thanks to ''Decade'': Rising Ultimate Form for Kuuga and Super Climax Form for Den-O.

** Diend gains his own Complete Form in the Super Den-O Trilogy, which draws its power not from protagonist Riders, but movie-exclusive Riders: [[Kamen Rider Agito|G4]], [[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Ryuga]], [[Kamen Rider Faiz|Orga]], [[Kamen Rider Blade|Glaive]], [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Kabuki]], [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Caucasus]], [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Arc]], and [[Kamen Rider Double|Skull]]. The only ones not to be bad guys are Skull ( {{spoiler|though he's impersonated by a bad guy in Movie Wars 2010.}} Double's ''true'' Movie Dark Rider is Eternal, but of course that movie wasn't out yet.) and Orga (between this and Orga being in the World of Negatives it's clear [[The Powers That Be]] consider him Faiz's Movie Dark Rider, but he was just {{spoiler|Kiba who'd been deceived}}. It ''should'' have been Psyga.)

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Rising Ultimate Kuuga ([[Brainwashed and Crazy|initially]]) in ''All Riders'', Decade [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Gekijoutai/Fury Form/Passionate Version/Violent Emotion]] in ''The Last Story''.

* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: Decade's Ride Booker not only holds all of his cards, but it can also change into a sword or gun weapon.

* [[Take That]]: [[Epileptic Trees|one wonders]] if Kuuga's characterization in this series is a jab against its original actor.

* [[Teleport Spam]]: Tsukasa pulls this off by [[Power Copying]] Ryuki and using the Mirror World as his personal [[Portal Network]] (ep. 9).

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: both ''Ride the Wind'' (commonly when the Final Form Rides make their first appearance) and ''Treasure Sniper''.

* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|How can we possibly justify 25 Rider Kicks against [[Kick Them While They Are Down|an already beat-down]] [[Kamen Rider Black|Shadow Moon]] [[Kick Them While They Are Down|who was handed his ass]] by [[Kamen Rider Double]]? [[Rule of Cool]], that's how!}}

** Similarly, Diend Complete's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R52lV_vSJvg Gekijyouban] Final Attack Ride.

** The World of Kabuto fuses Hiyori and Jyuka and compresses her storyline into two episodes, in a world very much like the original series (and in a story that uses the fact that {{spoiler|we don't know what alternate Tendou looks like at first}} to ''tremendous'' effect. This is perhaps the only time the series uses the "AR world" thing well instead if it simply being a means of avoiding having to round up the original actors.

* [[They Walk Among Us]]: In the world of Kiva {{spoiler|we have the world the original Wataru wanted: humans and Fangire living in peace. Of course, not all Fangire want to go along with that, still.}}

* [[This Loser Is You]]: Lampshaded in ep. 23 when Tsukasa points out to Daiki's face that he's been collecting treasures only to fulfill his own empty quest for self-worth. In a [[Merchandise-Driven]] show.

* [[Trigger Phrase]]: In ''The Last Story'', {{spoiler|Narutaki makes Natsumi's grandfather revert into Doctor Shinigami by serving him a squid and beer, causing him to utter "ika de beer", the same words said by Shinigami in ''All Riders'' right before transforming into Ikadevil.}}

** Well, that and, you know, {{spoiler|the Doctor Shinigami Gaia Memory that Eijiro was forced to use.}}

** Perhaps the ultimate expression of Kaitou's trolling can be seen in the [[Kamen Rider Den-O|Den-O]] and Decade movie, where he only appears to make things more difficult for the heroes, with absolutely nothing to gain from it, all with a smile on his face.

*** [[Wild Mass Guessing|Maybe it's because Diend didn't exactly get what he wanted in Den-O world, and just went for simple revenge?]]

** Narutaki in both movies. {{spoiler|Ultimately a [[Karma Houdini]] in the latter.}}

** {{spoiler|Eijiro Hikari being Dr. Shinigami.}} Natsumi and Yusuke saw him transform ''right in front of them'', and Tsukasa {{spoiler|as the Great Leader}} should have known this beforehand, but... {{spoiler|none of them batted an eye when he returned to the Hikari studio?}}

** Of course, in the previous episode, {{spoiler|a few zillion people were turned into Grongi, and once the fight with the baddie who caused it was over, all those new Grongi ''vanished''. In the ''next'' episode, the Arms Monsters were absorbed by the bad guy, and didn't return when he got Rider Kicked into oblivion.}} Nobody seemed to notice or care in either case.

*** What's worse is that not only were each of the Arms Monsters respective Fangire species now extinct, Kiva has lost a HUGE chunk of power with them dead. Most of his forms required their assistance to use.

** A more humorous example is Den-O trying to chew out, on two separate occasions, Decade and Diend on activating his FFR.

* [[Who Are You?]]: Happens frequently; the correct answer is, "Just a passing-through Kamen Rider. Remember that!"

* [[The Worf Barrage]]: in ''Movie Wars'', {{spoiler|the Final Form Rides (and [[Kamen Rider Kiva|Castle Doran]] and the [[Kamen Rider Den-O|DenLiner]]) were outmatched by the Super Crisis Fortress, just so it would be up to Double to take it down himself.}}

** To be fair, we don't actually see {{spoiler|the other Riders lose,}} they just...suddenly cease to be animated. And {{spoiler|Double did have a nifty robot elephant with a chainsaw trunk that he had to shove down it's throat.}}

*** Although, it's justified. It's one of the abilities Tsukasa picked up, like speaking Grongi or playing the violin, when he travels to a new world.

** Diend is also guilty of this. Witness the moment when he [[Curb Stomp Battle|completely overwhelms]] Kamen Rider Ryuga in battle.

** In the Den-O world, the Mole Imagin, one of the more powerful Imagins in ''Den-O'', who happen to be the first victims of Liner Form, are pretty much cannon fodder for the bad guys.

** The ''Kabuto'' series was less notable of Riders worfing high level Kaijin and instead having the Subst Worm (required Hyper Form originally) taken out by Tendou's sister merely {{spoiler|transforming into Sisworm}}; for the Geophilid Worm, Gattack was unable to take out the Worm like he did in the original series and instead Kuuga Pegasus Form took out them out, while Coleoptera was dispatched by TheBee.

** Subverted in Diend World as Lance and l'Arc have no more problem with fighting Dark Roaches than they did in the ''Blade'' Movie (but Decade shows up to curbstomp them anyway). Then gets played straight as {{spoiler|Decade Complete Form summons Armed Hibiki and takes out [[One-Winged Angel|Jashin 14]] in a [[Single-Stroke Battle]].}}

*** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: {{spoiler|Jashin 14}} Beating up the Riders in their normal forms, seeming unstoppable, and then getting {{spoiler|curbstomped by a [[Super Mode]]}} is exactly how it went in ''Missing Ace, too.''

*** On the other hand, in the same world, the Ten-Faced Demon demonstrates his [[Ditto Fighter]] status by worfing Kuuga and Faiz!Decade with their own moves. The ''original'' version didn't put up that much of a fight against Amazon by his lonesome!

** Probably the largest example of this comes in the penultimate episode where the Warthog Fangire, whom is one of the more powerful Fangires, is taken down by a single, rather off-handed kick by Decade.

** In the final episode, Tsukasa gets hit with it twice: once against Super Apollo Geist (who also manhandles Kuuga, Hibiki, and Kiva at the same time), and then ''immediately'' afterwards by {{spoiler|Kazuma Kenzaki, the '''original''' Blade in King Form.}} In all fairness to Decade, he couldn't do much against the second foe because Apollo arleady exhausted him right before.

*** Skyrider defeats the Queen Ant Lord from Agito, who originally only was defeated by Agito's ultimate form, with two attacks too. Although, to be fair, Skyrider's own "base" form is an ultimate form of sorts. However, in a later scene, Agito goes on to beat up the same Queen Ant Lord in his base form too.

*** Kabuto single handily beat an Orphenoch, a mole Imagin, a Ganikomoru and a Shiomaneking (who originally needed to be defeated by Rider 1 and 2 fighting together) without even using Clock Up.

*** {{spoiler|Shadow Moon, easily the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Kamen Rider Black]]''}}, gets this both straight and inverted in ''All Riders Vs. Dai-Shocker''. {{spoiler|No one's questioning his power, but he was beating Decade and Rising Ultimate Kuuga, two Riders each with the potential to ''destroy the planet'', at the same time without breaking a sweat. And then he was inexplicably whomped by ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'' (who seems to be "suffering" from a major case of Advertising Power-Up) before receiving an epic Rider Kick from all other 26 Riders.}}

*** {{spoiler|Which was immediately followed by the rise of the giant King Dark, who effortlessly defeats the puny Riders by making a shitload of explosions and beats down ''[[Kamen Rider J]]'' in two punches. Then Diend decided to [[Make My Monster Grow|Make His Decade Grow]] and behold, King Dark becomes a nuke by eating two punches and a Rider Kick.}}

*** Kuuga, in his basic Mighty form, easily beat up Hiruchamaleon, Gel-Shocker's chief commander, who originally was only defeated in a close battle with Rider 1 and 2.

** And we are not even getting on the issue of other Riders. Really, ''any'' past [[Monster of the Week]] should require more than a few punches, each having kept its Rider(s) busy for a good portion of one episode.

** Subverted when Tsukasa chooses to henshin and attack Ryuutaros (as Den-O Gun Form) posessing {{spoiler|Natsumi of all people.}}

** Not true - that 5.6% win ratio had to come from somewhere.

* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: {{spoiler|Tsukasa adopts this attitude at the end of the series following the [[What the Hell, Hero?]] from the original Riders. This carries over into ''The Last Story'' where he's initially the [[Big Bad]], until it's revealed all that he did actually ''saved'' all the worlds and he sacrificed himself to do it.}}

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: ''The Last Story'' has {{spoiler|Wataru, and indirectly the other Heisei Riders}} say this posthumously about {{spoiler|Tsukasa, remarking that his job was to destroy the Riders to save every world, which were restored due to the memories of the battles of the Riders. However, Decade had no story and so he couldn't return.}}

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: the Hikari Studio ''thought'' it was all over when they seemingly returned to their home universe, newly-restored, in Ep. 19.
