Kamen Rider Decade - Talk UP!

[garfield15]

I guess IXA still is the only rider suit that is immune to the female rider curse Until Kiivara maybe?

Delta too.

I figure the female Rider curse only applies to those using their own system and not borrowing anothers. Of course, if whoever is in Kivaara's suit survives then the curse will seriously be broken. (though I wouldn't count a one-shot Rider personally)

There's no curse, it's just poor writing.

-"Who are you?"

-"I am Kenzaki Kazuma."

That was definetly the best scene in Ep. 30 :castlerock:

This scene will easily be beaten in Ep. 31 when Kurenai Wataru makes his infamous return, and yells "KIVATTO!" where Kivat flys towards him and henshins into Kiva once again :castlerock: :castlerock:

I'm gonna make a mot that says "Professional badass" on the bottom when he says that

Either that or they just hate women kicking ass.

Might as well be the same. It's kind of alarming that Inoue, who's basically to blame for killing off all the girls, used to be able to write really strong female characters like Ozawa in Agito. It's just become this bad joke, and one that Kamen Rider could stand to get over. I don't expect like a full series starring Rider Girl or something, because the target demographic and society at present just doesn't work like that. But it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to write "and this character lives" if the story allows for it.

But like I said, I wasn't bothered by what they did in #30. It's a huge war, the world's going to hell and everybody's kicking each other's asses. Male or female has nothing to do with it. Todoroki got blown away right after Amaki, and Saga didn't live much longer. IXA and Leangle both get destroyed and poor Blade & Garren died pretty horrifically, not even able to do anything about it (again though, in one of the most admittedly most awesome things ever. I love that cliffhanger. :laugh Of course they could all get better next episode!

Like I said to Shougo, Agito was so good that it gave Inoue Writer's Permablock after creating it.:disappoin I almost quit this series during the Nega arc.

Agito's writing was one of a kind, it really is hard to match.

The first 29 episodes of Hibiki also count as well, sir.

What happened to Narutaki and Kivaara? Did they ally with Team Decade (Tsukasa, Yuusuke, Natsumi, Daiki, Eijiro) because they knew about Daishocker?

My theory could be correct as well with the events of the Decade movie taking place after the Rider War, considering that there was really no mention of Dai-Shocker's defeat @ the hands of the Riders in episode 30. Not to mention it would feel like a contradiction to have all the Heisei Riders fight each other AFTER they all joined forces with the Showa Riders to defeat all of Dai-Shocker except Apollo Geist.

IMO, if we assume that the Heisei Riders who appeared in the movie were the originals (and the movie supports this to an extent), then the AU Riders never participated in the movie's battle against Daishocker. This would explain their ignorance towards Daishocker in episode 30, and also no longer makes it a contradiction for them to fight one another.

Personally, I'd prefer the TV series ending to be the true finale. Firstly, adult fans like us won't get to see the movie until next year, so if the movie's the finale, we won't get to experience its awesomeness for quite awhile. Secondly, it would be better for the Decade TV series' plot to be contained in itself, with the movie as a nice addition to the overall story, but not necessary to understand the plot. For example, fans who're watching Decade but who won't get to see the movie can just assume Apollo Geist to be the head of Daishocker, and his defeat in 31 to be the end of Daishocker. However, those of us who've seen the movie will be able to fit it into the series by explaining that Daishocker fell in the movie, after the Amazon world episodes, but Apollo Geist was the sole survivor and remained to wreak havoc. Lastly, I find something poetic about Decade going against his destiny as the destroyer in the movie and becoming a savior, only to have to fulfill it in the series. It's a bittersweet way to end the series.

Lol and I assume that because the majority of the KR audience is male, Toei assumes we aren't bothered with seeing female Riders die. If there were more girls watching the show I bet Toei would start showing respect to the female Riders. Plus Japan is a largely Confucian society, and Confucius was a rather big male chauvinist.
