Several films that involve Kamen Rider Decade.

Cho Kamen Rider Den-O & Decade NEO Generations The Movie: The Onigashima Battleship

A movie with Decade in the title where he does basically nothing at all in the film other than to remind you that you're not watching something better. Decade shows up for about five minutes, fights the bad guys, then leaves without having done much of anything, which is better than Diend, who shows up for exactly one minute just to summon some Riders for the express purpose of being a massive jackass. No really, that was his whole purpose in the film; he didn't do it as a ruse to steal treasure, he just appeared to make things harder for the heroes for no given reason other than to be a massive ass and then left.

In true Japanese form, this movie is in love with their folklore, the same old tired Oni were real and then exterminated stuff that we've all seen about a billion times. It's also another go at the whole country folk and big city folk differences thing, because we'll never get tired of that little gem either. The only difference in all of this is that we didn't get what was explicitly a bow armed miko, just some girl in a skirt too short for any time but the modern era with a bow who may or may not have been a character ancestor. And a gem of importance. Except this time around she didn't have it burned with her body and there's no time well. Just a time train. Because that's what Den-O is about, a time train.

Sadly it's not the same thing Doc Brown made in Back to the Future Part III, it's just a standard bullet train that travels through time. Controlled by a motorcycle. So maybe not standard. And like everything time travel, things get stupid because NOBODY can do time travel right.

So the plot is that Oni were real, got shot full of arrows, humanity took over and will one day blow up the sun. Well, the sun bit isn't true... yet, but the Oni bit was. Except there was an earthquake and this somehow tore open a time hole, because that's how that works, and now we have little brother Oni who looks like the most generic Oni ever trying to find the magic rock to bring out their trump card so they can not all die horribly. Meanwhile big brother Oni who has the longest hair outside of anime is just hanging out in a cave waiting for little brother while drinking sake. Except this time his sake does drop because he throws the jub. Yuugi this guy ain't.

This is basically the plot for the entire movie, all while the heroes job to the Oni because they're Oni and so are powerful. And can become Kamen Riders because why not.

So this stupid plot goes on for nearly an hour until finally the Oni get their trump card... a giant battleship that looks like it's a mix of 1940s big guns and 1800s steam ship. It also flies in the sky and can time travel because, you know, Oni are known to be masters of time manipulation. Then Decade and Diend show for their whole six minutes of whatever, one Oni is killed making the other go crazy because that's how all brother stuff goes in Japan... and then the next 20 minutes are mostly CG of, and this is amazing for how stupid it is, a massive time battleship fighting a time train. Complete with huge bombs riding the rails of the time train to blow it up. Then there's the big fight where the hero does alone in a minute what like half a dozen couldn't do together in about five, then the end.

All in all, another yawn inducing way too Japanese for its own good film. The whole ship vs. train bit was kind of neat, though way over the top, and cannot save the film at all. It's an hour and twenty minutes of my life I would like back... but sadly I don't have a time train to do so.

If only Doc Brown would return my calls...


Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker

Basically the point of this movie was to once again make sure we all know that Decade is the most super awesomest Rider ever. Except for W, who appears, kicks the crap out of the bad guy with ease, then leaves after two minutes. Then it's back to Decade being the most awesome.

Oh, and I guess to give more plot to a character who, as the series says, has no story of his own. Except this was a story about him. And his past. And also makes him look, and forgive me if this offends you, a raging homosexual when he's revealed to be the Great Leader of Great Shocker. I know that Japan is different when it comes to what is manly to them, I mean, just look at things from Final Fantasy in the last nearly 20 years, but his hair, his outfit, the tight material... come on.


Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010

So once again we have a movie where part of it is basically to remind us once again that Decade is the bestest there ever was. If he were in Pokemon, he would be THE Pokemon Master. He could have caught them all and they would all have been shiny, plus somehow figured out a way to make legendaries breed. No, scratch that, he would have just said fuck it to egg groups and made a Gardevoir and an Umbreon somehow produce a Mewtwo egg.

So because the series couldn't somehow do it in 31 episodes, this is billed as the proper end of the story of Decade... a character who in the show AND the movie is said to have no story. Except for those several episodes where everybody is sure he's the devil, Narutaki wants him dead and movies all about him. And more than half of this movie all about him.

So the Decade part proper has him being awesome and killing all the old Riders, because they're old and he's new, plus this is his movie so screw them. He even got a female groupie, because I guess he can't go more than a few minutes without a girl being all clingy and saying his name over and over. Everybody wants him dead because he's the main character, so really he has the excuse of self defense; I mean, the guy said he's wreck anybody who gets in his way, so the best thing to do is get in the way. But then the worlds are all collapsing... still... so it's gotta be that way.

The show says it's all happening because he had to kill all the Riders, but since he made friends... which is a hard thing to accept when it comes to Tsukasa, given how much of an ass he is and likes to make speeches that Archer from Star Trek: Enterprise wouldn't even make, the worlds are all screwed.

Such a fine lesson for the children; never make friends, kids, or else your world might end.

But even after Decade making a habit of kicking people in the face whose job description is kicking people in the face until they explode, the worlds are still screwed, so it's really all about killing Decade. So crap Yuusuke, who has been useless in the series and the movies finally eats it which makes Natsumi all mad, then she becomes a Rider. Because you know, that's how that works. Then she kills him, and by that I mean he uses her for suicide, because I guess that was his MASTER PLAN all along. He dies, the worlds are saved, then SUPER SHOCKER appears.

So is this a case of an entire fist in the pink?

Then, in a means to cheapen any kind of sacrifice, they bring Tsukasa back through a photo and THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. Because even though now all the Riders have returned from the dead, it seems we need Decade to fight off the big bads. Because you know, HE'S THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS. So after the special effects, this thing called Doras shows up and Narutaki goes on his usual about Decade being the cause of all bad things like cancer, even though he himself was a Super Shocker general and was going to cause chaos. But his was better than the chaos caused by Decade, so it's clearly all his fault.

In an effort to make Doras look cool, all the Riders from the last nine worlds pop up and then it's a bunch of guys in robot suits fighting a guy in a robot suit, only for Decade to make them all turn into their best forms and do final attacks, to let him do the SUPER FINAL ATTACK, because he's the bestest. But then a giant mammoth robot appears to kick the crap out of everybody... and that's where the W portion starts.

And to be honest, I don't care about W at this point; maybe at some future time I will, but for now I am skipping their part.

So now W is chasing a thing and being chased while Decade is being chased by mammoth robo and the ship from Masked Rider that did nothing in the stock footage except fly from some planet all the time and shoot beams. W and Decade meet, and all three decide that they should kick that mammoth in the face... too bad it vanishes and is replaced by other Riders.

So then Decade proves he's still the most awesome by making them all go into Final Form to gang bang the fortress of doom. Meanwhile mammoth appears to the left this time and the thing chasing W turns out to be a hover cycle platform, because he's so awesome he gets to fly. Then he takes over the mammoth and uses it to destroy the fortress because since he's the latest Rider, he gets to do this sort of thing... and the other Riders failed at their one job. THEIR ONE JOB.

So then the true final boss shows up, some guy taken over by an energy life form that sounds like a kid... because that goes just so well in any fiction. But Decade and W get beaten up, so Decade pulls out yet another uber card that makes W into two guys, because I guess that's their Final Form. They RIDER KICK him and that's the end of that threat.

The other Riders walk back into the dimensional rift thingy, knowing they dun goofed, except Diend; he gets to sulk up on a cliff. Decade leaves, then the film ends with some more credits nonsense about them all going on with their journey, which has become their world... you know, instead of giving closure to what happened to Natsumi's original world, which the last time we saw it WAS ON FIRE. But fuck that, we gotta give an opening for more movies involving a character who has no supposed story.
