Kamen Rider Decade (仮面ライダーディケイド, Kamen Raidā Dikeido?, Masked Rider DCD) is the title of the 2009 edition of the long-running Kamen Rider Series of tokusatsu dramas. Advertisements in Japanese magazines feature the title character amongst the title characters of the previous nine Heisei Kamen Rider Series, with the secondary riders of each series appearing in recent trailers. Decade, as its title suggests, is the tenth of the Heisei Rider Series, having begun with Kamen Rider Kuuga in 2000. It began broadcast the week following the finale of Kamen Rider Kiva and will be featured in Super Hero Time alongside the 2009 edition of the Super Sentai Series, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
The story revolves around the nine previous universes of the Heisei Kamen Riders merging into one, something that would destroy all the worlds. To prevent this, Tsukasa Kadoya transforms into Kamen Rider Decade to protect his own dimension by defeating the Kamen Riders of the other dimensions.[1]
The Rider Army (ライダー軍, Raidā Gun?), first revealed in Natsumi Hikari's dream, composed of many Kamen Riders, all of whom where seemingly defeated by Kamen Rider Decade. However, Kamen Rider Kuuga survived the initial battle, assuming black-eyed Ultimate Form to confront Decade once again with the two seemingly destroying each other in the ensuing battle.
Generally, episodes of Decade are titled similarly to the episodes of the series that they reference. Kamen Rider Kuuga's episodes were titled with only two kanji and episodes of Kamen Rider Kiva have a musical reference and musical notation in the title. For the World of Hibiki story arc, the episode title cards are stylized in calligraphy similar to the styles featured in Kamen Rider Hibiki. An episode arc also features a crossover with Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.[3][4]
In an interview in the March 2009 issue of
Kindai Magazine, Masahiro Inoue stated that
Decade was slated at having only 30 episodes.

Otonafami magazine confirms that only 30 episodes were filmed.
