So, a bit of truth in regards to Decade...
So for a long time, people who know me know my favorite Rider is Decade. A lot of people wonder why, since Decade isn't per se one of the popular Rider series; not like Kuuga, Agito, or Double, just to name a few from the Heisei Riders. Well, when they ask me, I give a rather tepid "well, it was my first Rider show," or something along those lines. Well, I think I should actually tell the real reason why.
It's because I identify with Tuskasa; he's a wanderer, rejected by everything, but still trying to form connections to the people and events that surround him. I may know logically that I'm not rejected, but to be honest...I feel slightly rejected from the people I talk to a lot. Please note; this is nothing on the people I talk to, this is on me. I see a lot of people having really interesting discussions, and I feel like I do not belong with them. However...as vain as it may appear to read, I want some form of social interaction; so I go out and try to make those connections, so that the world(s) I inhabit accept me from sheer amount of presence.
Additionally, Tsukasa's story to find who he is also resonates with me. I feel like...this may be tough to explain, but I feel like no matter where I am, I don't fully belong. Like everyone around me is this source of incredible awesome and I'm below average. So I search for the place where maybe I can be super awesome, to find that place I belong.
And in further honesty: I do enjoy the Rider Card / Mega Manning gimmick of his belt and Decade's suit design. Answers like that may be tepid, but they are a part of the reasons why I like Tsukasa Kadoya; they just aren't everything.
