How did I never notice the Fighting style/Enhancement motif. That’s amazing. Great video.

[@ayakuweb]

Thank you so much for watching. We'll have a dedicated video to the fun fact behind the designs of W one day. Have a great day.

God, no wonder W was so good, it had twice as much time to plan. Edit: Also Renn helping with the costume for Shotaro makes so much sense. I seen his instagram, dude is a real westaboo just like the character he played.

[@NerdSpeak]

Lots of great info! I never even considered that the Gaia Memories being USBs makes sense because they are "memory sticks" (even though storage and memory in computer terms is very different lol)

[@ayakuweb]

There's a lot of neat info we've still yet to cover! We might do a part two in the future. Thanks for watching!

@Ayaku Web please do

"If Kamen Rider doesn't do well, then it'll be the last Kamen Rider series" "Then let's just make the best damn Rider series anyone has ever seen." Also, didn't realize Decade's short length was planned to offset toy schedules for Rider. That's actually a cool fun fact. Also, PLEEEEEEEEASE Toei, give us Season 2 of Fuuto PI already!!!

[@michaeldaniels642]

Toei didn't animate Futo PI

[@charisz595]

I cant imagine double without a scarf.

[@ayakuweb]

Same

[@gungnir-tempezuki6650]

Delayed reply but… wouldn’t that just be Double’s forms that don’t use Cyclone? Like Heat Joker/Metal/Trigger, or Luna Joker/Metal/Trigger?

Kamen Rider W: Now Let's Count Up Your Sins

[@cyberostrich3460]

Subscribed. Very well done video, thank you! Honestly, W is my favorite Kamen rider. Just love the detective aspects, the library of infinite knowledge aspect, and the fact that have so many forms, upgrades, and combinations. I really hope the anime gets a second season if possible because I think its extreme underrated.

[@jarrodsanders8004]

Awesome video! Thanks for putting this together. Got yourself another subscriber.

[@ayakuweb]

Thank you so much!

[@Marcosatsu]

Yes

[@positivelytokusatsu1483]

Awesome info, man

[@ZZtheDark]

0:35, whu? So Decade was..a last minute season? 0_- 5:51, also...he's a lone wolf. He can take care of himself. ;) 8:28, he'll give you Gatsby. 9:43, Kia Asamiya's storyboards. Gotta love the guy for making Borgman designs as well as Silent Mobius.

[@rivalstunts4592]

Great video

[@Brian-fh8pq]

really good video. W is prob stil my favourite after all these years. I sorta doubt we'll get a second season of Fuuto PI but it's surprisingly it even got an anime adaption to begin with so who knows. I think the overall setting/theme of W could make it a good candidate for an edgier reboot on amazon like black suns and amazons

[@FoxyPercival714]

Sad shame there is no deal to watch W before Fuuto PI. If you go in, watching that anime. You will get LOST on things and major events.

[@mediaguyzelkova5131]

Decade really was screwed at all points huh?

[@ayakuweb]

We're actually trying to track down all the books we can regarding Decade's production history.

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

And yet it was good enough for Decade and DiEnd to get an arcade game (Ganbaride) with two sequels (Gambarizing and Ganba Legends), new Drivers in _Zi-O,_ and a successor (Legend) in _Gotchard._

[@Burningmoonworks]

funny to say that, although the series was really.. made weird not to say bad; Decade it's quite loved by the community, just enough to kept getting updates as a character

[@hailthequeenFM]

@@Burningmoonworks probably because of Masahiro Inoue.

[@elteller5306]

Interesting info!

[@linkinstreet]

It's Zed Cross you pleibian

[@ayakuweb]

Haha we apologize for mispronouncing it. Thank you so much for watching.

[@NerdSpeak]

Well if we’re being semantic and rude, it’s ゼクロス, you Canadian.

[@hotmail527]

Really good video. Subscriber for life now.

[@ayakuweb]

Thank you so much!
