Samurai Sentai Shinkenger/Kamen Rider Decade Teamup

UPDATED 6/22/09 6pm EST

It has finally happened and it didn't take a straight to DVD special. It has been confirmed that the Shinkenger will appear in Kamen Rider Decade. According to rumors the Decade crew will end up in Samurai World in episodes 24 and 25 (July 12th and July 19th) of Decade, and will probably make a cameo in episode 21 of Shinkenger. Show producer Kazi Shiyun said, "I finally realized the dream of the fans after so many years." Rumors say this will prelude the movies or have some tie-in to the movies. Now, some Kamen Rider fans aren't happy about this and some Super Sentai fans are not happy either, I read one fan saying that they didn't want a Kamen Rider supplying the Shinkenger with something, basically into getting involved with the arc. I think that it ridiculous to take it so seriously. I think this is very interesting and semi-historic and people have been wanting a teamup for years and I think we should be happy it's happening.

But this is not the first time Kamen Rider is mentioned in Super Sentai. In JAKQ Vs. Goranger, Kamen Rider V3 and Kamen Rider Amazon were mentioned. Kikader was also mentioned.

And in the "A Friend in Need" 3-parter of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season Three, Masked Rider (the adaption of Kamen Rider Black RX) fought alongside with the Power Rangers (four Zyurangers and Kibaranger from Dairanger).

I cannot wait for this teamup. I might actually download the RAW AVI, and then download the translated AVI 6 days later from Nihon.
