New Decade Form, And...

As I struggle to finish the Den-O & Decade Review (with the first-ever photo-intensive plot summary!), check out these new images from cowspot:



The long-awaited, sometimes-glimpsed (if you saw the leaked toy catalog or filming photos) "complete" form for Decade. Which I'm sure is going to have people talking just as much as the normal Decade design did.

And perhaps even more controversial...





A new form for Kuuga? Like Ultimate Form, coming in a red and black-eyed variety? Not really sure what to say about that. It would seem to indicate that Kuuga will be playing a bigger role in the series soon... unless they just do this for one episode until he trips over a pile of unsold DX Diendrivers.

Stay Tuned!

Edit: My thanks to Ryulong on HJU for also posting picture from the upcoming All Riders vs. Daishocker movie. Check it out!

Yup. A new take on Doctor Shinigami, played by Ishibashi Renji (that's grandpa on the TV show) and a new spin on Ambassador Hell. The color scheme's pretty cool, and I love the fact that they went all the way and gave him the old-style helmet, which has always been slightly comical in a very badass way.

Now where's Zol & Black?

  3. I think the only problem why Decade's Complete Form looks so stupid is because he became a literal walking card display case. If there would be a shot wherein all those cards disappear (perhaps in a Final Attack Ride), I think it might actually look badass.

    And I agree, this might be just one of the things Yuusuke Onodera is an improvement of Godai's Kuuga: this Rising Ultimate looks so fearsome!

    Now I wonder if they will release new "Rising Final Forms" for the other Heisei primary Riders: you know, this show being subconsciously merchandise-driven and all...

  8. You know, a lot of people said the same thing when they first saw Decade. We'll just have to see it in motion, I guess.

    HOWEVER

    New Kuuga Form? Owns.

  10. Is it just me or does the belt buckle for Decades final form look like a giant PSP ?

    BughawBagwis not to disillusion you but, damned near all shows like this are merchandise driven. I lived in japan for 4 years mid to late 70's, and even as far back as then it was like that.
    And it's far from subconscious, quite the opposite in fact.

    I think that is already a given with these type of shows. I just wonder if this "Rising Ultimate" form of Kuuga is merely a plot mech that indicates his bigger part, or if other main Riders would also do so as a plot mech, or just fanservice.

    Now I just wish they don't drown into the merchandise-hungry level.

  12. Oh God, what have we done to deserve that walkin card deck? No, really.

    The Kuuga form looks fine. Nice. Badass, almost :-P

  13. surgingshark is right. We have to see the new form in motion to get used to it.

    I expected much more coolness than this though.

    And kuuga's given a new form. What the heck. At least he looks good.

    Give ALL of them heisei riders new forms man.

  15. haha my friends were making a joke that tsukasa and yusuke were gonna trade belts xD lolz
    but yea if its just me, but is that card that was uglyly slapped onto decade's forehead, is that his initial form card? or the complete form card?

  16. Igadevil, I am very surprised that you have yet to comment on THE ONE AND ONLY KOTARO MINAMI featuring on this movie.

  17. That's because I'm more excited by the news about Fujioka, Sasaki & Miyauchi voicing Rider 1, 2, & V3. :P

    Nah really, it's because I've been terribly busy trying to finish the damn Den-O/Decade reviews. I will talk about all the Decade movie stuff soon!

  18. Man, no love for Kotaro? The Japanese news also didn't pay too much attention to him. :(
