End of Diend

Kamen Rider Decade, Episode 23

**End of Diend** (エンド・オブ・ディエンド, *Endo Obu Diendo*) is the twenty-third episode of *Kamen Rider Decade*. It is the second and final part of a two-part tribute arc to the film *Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace*.

## Plot

Nearly killed by Lance, Kaito is spared when Larc stops her partner as he reminds her that he is the reason that Junichi is under Fourteen's control. After escaping the angry mob, parting from Haruka and Shin, Kaito and Tsukasa find Natsumi who tells them that Yusuke has been kidnapped by the Roaches before Junichi arrives. After remembering the events leading to his brother's enslavement, Kaito is reluctant to fight as he and Tsukasa transform to follow Junichi, leaving the brain-washed Yusuke behind and taking Natsumi to undergo the process as well. The next day, finding himself a wanted man as well, Tsukasa decides to help Kaito in spite of him refusing his aid at first. Using Kaito as bait to trade for the now brain-washed Natsumi, Tsukasa lures out Fourteen. While Lance and Larc battle Glaive and the Darkroachi, Diend and Decade battle Fourteen as he reveals his true form as Jashin 14. Though overwhelmed, Decade assumes Complete Form and uses Armed Hibiki's power to destroy him. Though the Roaches fade away and the brainwashed humans return to normal, Glaive attacks Diend and reveals that he willingly served Fourteen. With Decade holding Larc and Lance back, Diend battles Glaive on his own in a heated battle with neither wanting to kill the other. Tsukasa ends the battle, telling the brothers that Daiki now has faith in himself. Junichi leaves and Tsukasa and Kaito go off to the next world, a strange one that Narutaki hopes will overwhelm Decade.

## Notes

 File:DCDEP20CS.png
* As part of Super Hero Time, this episode aired alongside *Samurai Sentai Shinkenger* episode 20, *Act 20: The Ebi Origami's Transformation*, which features Daiki, starting off the World of Shinkenger crossover which appears in the next episode of *Decade*.
* **Viewership**: 7.4%
* This would be the last televised episode of *Kamen Rider* to be written by franchise veteran Toshiki Inoue until ten years later when he returned to write *Kamen Rider Zi-O'*s tribute episode to *Kiva*.
* Fittingly, this episode introduces the insert song Treasure Sniper, performed by Totani himself.
	+ This theme would be used for when Decade uses his Complete Form, and not necessarily featuring Diend himself.
