Glossing over the things I can't spoil, the Grongi were the Rinto's rival race a gazillion years ago. The Rinto eventually won, and evolved into humans. In Kuuga, the Grongi are ultimately trying to eliminate the Rinto, but the humans the Rinto have evolved to are not match to their power, so Kuuga (who is a Grongi gone wrong of sorts himself) fights them to protect humans. Then there's the Unknown, who originally protected the Rinto from the Grongi, but now have their own agenda.
The episodes are actually shot around two months before their air. :D And the Yusuke thing wasn't really about Tenimyu, it was about not having Kuuga in the new Den-O movie, which iinm is supposed to take place some time between the two Den-O world episodes. They couldn't have Kuuga there when they hardly have space for Decade in it. 8D;;
Next is Den-O, Kabuto and Hibiki, yeah. I'm eager to see what happens to Decade when the world-hopping is done, the whole thing got really formulaic after a while. Sure seeing the old riders again is awesome, but the little story it had going on at the beginning isn't really going anywhere so far.
I don't know, tbh. There've been no new rumors about the length of the series, though I tend to believe the 30 eps thing because... why else would Ma-kun have said that.
And also, because Decade eats up as much budget in CG/casting/locations/etc for one episode as a regular rider would for two or three, and it's totally showing signs of coughing up at this point already. I don't think they could keep up 50 episodes of this without running Toei/Bandai into the ground. :D;;
Maybe they'll start using up LESS FX budget when they stop world hopping. I imagine that between the suits and the old monsters and the new owie transformations every two weeks, that accounts for a lot.
Speaking of which, takkun's wasn't as owie as.... others.
Takumi's and Kazuma's bondage forms didn't look painful at all. Their legs were even closed the whole time, and their heads didn't snap back or disappear into the body or anything. >>
I imagine Agito's will be the last OW OW OW MIND RAPE form. Den-O's is just Momo, Kabuto is the Zecter (closed legs), and Hibiki's is a giant taiko stick (again closed legs).
