Rider Break! Episode 07: It's Far From Being All Over

With time running out and destiny drawing near, Rider Break! ventures into controversial territory with an examination of the last two episodes of Kamen Rider Decade. Three years on, is it still the destroyer of fans, or a misunderstood masterpiece? Also, how many Rider finales can get spoiled while just trying to cover one!?


This episode was originally released on 8/20/2012


In This Episode: 

• Rider Break! returns one more time before another extended leave of absence!

• Some brief thoughts on Kamen Rider Fourze episodes 43~46!

• I once again plug Rising Sun Tokusatsu and fail to provide answers to their questions.

• A frank, honest and open (re: boring) reflection on the Kamen Rider Decade TV finale in both its original and edited incarnations, including complaints about Movie WAR 2010 and a big SPOILER WARNING! as a bunch of other series finales or penultimate episodes are covered (the original, V3, X, Super-1, Kuuga, Agito, Blade, Ryuki, W, OOO, and of course, Decade.)


Episodes Notes:

• Music used includes:

"Let's Go!! Rider Kick 2006" by Hiroshi Fujioka
"Journey through the Decade" by GACKT
"Battle World" (BGM excerpt)

• This is it folks... the final episode of Rider Break!

...in America, anyway. The next episode will be recorded in the land of the rising sun itself! No clue when that'll be, or when you'll hear it, but hopefully, before the end of the year/world/whatever.

• I mention that this will probably be a shorter episode... that turned out to be false! It clocks in at just over an hour & thirteen minutes.


• An extra-big thanks to Lynxara of Low Visibility and HJU fame for inspiring a large chunk of this episode.
