Finally finished Faiz. Now downloading Paradise Lost and HBV because I wanna see more Yuji (He was damn cute in the HBV. Seeing him smile and sing in earnest really warmed my heart. Because Yuji needed to be happy more). Yes I am biased to Yuji. Takumi is okay... but I wanted more Yuji. XD. Gotta finish up iconing all those screenshots in my folders before going to do those from the photobooks. And yes... if I started iconing Faiz.... they'll be mostly Yuji-centric. Hahahahaha. And I had to remind self to do Wataru's moodtheme and use it for my personal comm. (or use that for writing journal and try if I can make Yuji mood theme for comm instead. XD)
Watched Decade ep 1. I guess for a first episode it was okay... I guess. Although some parts I can't help exclaiming Kingdom Hearts here and there... XD.
See if memory served. Was lazy to reopen the youtube just to rereview this episode. And the torrent was slow atm.
The episode started with Natsumi's dream. (so that great scene from the trailer was from HER dream. XO) Anyway... it's like mass destruction here and there and we see the monsters and riders fighting each other as Natsumi standing there in confusion. (and in this scene she does look a bit like Mika Hijii during one episode in Garo. LOL. I dunno.... just a feeling.) I almost felt a tug i my heart as I heard Castle Doran wailing... and Ryuki's dragon flailing around... (yeah... I was against Shinji/Ryuki as a Rider.... but I did not hate his Advent monster. Call me biased. I'm biased to a LOT of things.) and there's a GIANT Disc monster! Hahaha. I wonder WHEN did TAKESHI managed to make a big disc monster like that. Haha. So, random fight here and there and boom here boom there... and everyone dies. And one rider appear above all as Natsumi whispered... Decade.
Damn... Natsumi had one awesome dream. What did she ate to get awesome dream? I want also! XD
And she woke up. End of one (prophetic?) dream. And it appears that she worked/lived in a photo shop--- I mean, studio. Not the Adobe--nvm. XD. And the grandpa seemed to have received several disgruntled customers as they complained over some 'bad pictures'. It seemed Natsumi knew who was at fault as she went out to find the culprit. While she was out, she heard a certain ringing as every mirrors around here reacted mysteriously. Ryuki appeared in one of the mirrors as the illusion disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared.
Come Tsukasa who was still somewhere outside as he took some random pictures. Some of this disgruntled people found him as well as they questioned his motives of taking weird pictures of them as Natsumi arrived and karate-chopped his laughing points before apologising towards the people. With Tsukasa still laughing his head off helplessly. Later, she asked Tsukasa about his reasoning as he replied cryptically about trying to find his world. (Or that or I dunno. Was lazy to repeat the scene just to gather what he said. Oh wait... he had amnesia!) As they were talking, suddenly strange things started to happen as a barrier appeared and a building disappeared. Several barriers appeared everywhere as well as Natsumi and Tsukasa was separated. Suddenly he turned around as (Hey, cutie!) Wataru appeared behind him and told Tsukasa that he had something that only he can do as he pointed to the sky. To his surprise, Tsukasa saw several worlds appearing and merging with his own.
Back to Natsumi, she as well as the other lot of people had been running around to try to escape from all these strange monsters. As they run... some of the people had been attacked by (Hey there!) Fangires as she stepped into another world where some (perverted) Imagins harrassed her. Natsumi kept running as she stumbled into another destroyed world. (So Kingdom Hearts! Hahaha) Over there, she saw a certain object that she recognised from her dream as she pulled it out. It was a worn out Decarider and card slot. Tsukasa suddenly called from a nearby barrier as Natsumi expressed relief to seeing him safe. But no... monsters appeared on her side as Tsukasa panicked as to how to help her before seeing the things on her hands and asked her to pass it to him. (Tsukasa seemed to know exactly what it was... hmm.)
So he transformed and the barrier broke. Decade changed into Kabuto (was it? I don't remember) as he finished the monsters (The image of Kabuto in the card vanished after that) and dragged the still clueless Natsumi away (who wondered why he was Decade) while he wondered how she knew his rider form was called Decade. At which by this time he acquire a Decabike? randomly out of nowhere. And there they go as the bike rammed through those world barriers like it was nothing as they entered the Orphenoch/Faiz's world. And some of the people that Tsukasa took weird pics of from died as well... and some other Orphenochs appeared and attacked them. And he changed into Faiz and the bike also can change into Auto Vajin and those Orphenochs were vanquished as well. Still after that, Faiz's card had his picture dissolved as Tsukasa wondered what the hell happened. And again same thing happen with some Makamou's as Decade become Hibiki.
Cue even more destruction as they tried to get back and Wataru appeared to explain what really happened as the world taking the Kingdom Hearts route. So for some reason, these parallel nine worlds about/going to merge with Decade's world thus the start of end of world and it's up to him to same the world. Riiiight.... and how did you do that---pause thing? Anyway... they went back to the shop as Tsukasa looked over at all the blank cards. (Which started the whole premise about Decade losing his powers as he need to go Pokemon and collect all the riders powers. XD) As he wondered how on earth was he going to travel to several dimensions (with Natsumi who insisted to follow), granpa pulled down the backdrop used for photography shoots as a certain scene suddenly emerge on the screens. Shocked, Tsukasa ran out as the world changed and he's now inside Kuuga's world (where somewhere... an incident already started happening).
Not bad... I ended up typing so long. So gay. I wonder if they gonna have some other cameos from some other previous casts aside some of the confirmed previous rider cast? (Because Akiyama Ren's ori actor is no more? XOO) But that's like hoping the impossible.... despite I really hoped to see Izumi-san and Hosokawa-san again. XD (I am really biased about some actors YES)
And continuing on Faiz... XD
Summary for Episode 14 - 18
Kusaka stayed with Mari-tachi as the remaining Ryuseiji went to search for their other partners to find out about the past. Murakami assigned the Lucky Clovers to their tasks. Realizing that he was targeted for not wanting to attack humans, Yuji told Naoya and Yuka to decide for themselves on what they wanted to do from now on.
Both parties went on to search as both Takumi and Yuji fell into the river after being attacked. And both were found by each others companions. (I started to get fond of both of them... since they paralleled each other so much. But I mostly like Yuji. XD) And the plot thickened as Takumi found out about Yuka...
Takumi goes off to talk to Yuka after leaving the others, not explaining to them about his reasoning for attacking Kaixa. Yuji received a blast from the past as Chie's brother contacted him. As he faced another Orphenoch, Takumi ponders about his purpose to fight and wondered if there are more Orphenochs like Yuka. Faiz and Kaixa continued to fight as Takumi fell. And Takumi and Yuji meet again and I'm still amused at the fact how they really paralleled each other to the point that it felt fated. Chie's brother became an Orphenoch and as Yuji grieves on his weakness, Takumi gained a new resolve.
Kusaka went off with his old classmate as they went to find out more about the third belt. Smart Brain continues on their attempts to recover Faiz and Kaixa. Meanwhile, a girl had been followed by an Orphenoch. As glum mood surrounds the Kiba household, Yuji wondered about the identity of the Faiz user (despite both already met)...
- Yeah.... from the start, I really fancied the plotline that tied Yuji and Takumi together. It's like both of them were similar yet different. I remembered an anime that had this approach... pretty amusing. I really loved both of them. They were like two sides of a coin. XD.
Damn... Yuji's so badass...
If I can get a Kaixa belt, I am so doing his Smart Brain CEO version. XD.
