| Kamen Rider Agito | comment |
Due to its nature as an indirect sequel to Kamen Rider Kuuga, all spoilers for it may have been unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Kamen Rider Agito (Masked Rider ΑGITΩ) is the 2001-2002 entry in the Kamen Rider franchise, and second in the Heisei Era.Set in the year 2003, two years following the Unidentified Lifeforms case (portrayed in Kamen Rider Kuuga), mysterious and impossible murders are taking place all across the city, carried out by angelic creatures which are Immune to Bullets and seem to be hunting very specific families.In response, the Metropolitan Police Department formed a new division called the Squad Against Unidentified Lifeforms (S.A.U.L.), and commissioned their best technical geniuses to create an effective countermeasure should their city ever be plagued by monsters again. The result was the Generation 3 (G3) Powered Armor, worn by capable-but-klutzy police officer Makoto Hikawa. In response to these supernatural beings, codenamed "Unknown", S.A.U.L.'s G3 Unit is mobilised to protect the city and solve the mystery behind the murders. They find an uphill struggle ahead of them: not just against the Unknown, but against the corrupt elements within their own police department who would seek to use the G3 System for their own gain.Ryo Ashihara once had a promising career as a competitive swimmer, until he was involved in a near-fatal car accident. After his body had healed, he discovered that he had undergone a horrifying metamorphosis, one that would drive all of his former friends and confidants away from him. Soon after this occurs, he receives an anonymous letter containing a list of passengers from the Akatsuki-Go cruise liner: the same cruise liner that his father boarded shortly before committing suicide. Ryo resolves to uncover the reason why his father committed suicide, driven by his loneliness and the new power he has attained: to transform into the feral creature known as Gills.Shouichi Tsugami is a man without a past. Months ago, he washed up on a beach with no memory and an empty envelope addressed to himself. Taken in by the Misugi family, he enjoys nothing more than a simple life tending a vegetable patch and looking after the household. However, when an Unknown is about to attack a human, he feels an overwhelming compulsion to go to their defense, summoning a mysterious power he knows nothing about but holds the key to everything: the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Agito.This show links the stories of all three men together as they attempt to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Unknown and the source of the Agito power, clashing not only with the Unknown but with their own insecurities, pasts, and each other.Partnered with the Super Sentai show Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger after initially airing alongside the final episodes of Mirai Sentai Timeranger in what would later be known as the Super Hero Time block.In addition to the main series, Kamen Rider Agito has three spinoffs. Kamen Rider Agito: Three Great Riders is a DVD episode that was distributed by Televi-Kun magazine. Kamen Rider Agito Special: A New Transformation is a TV special that led into Kamen Rider Agito The Movie: Project G4, the first in a series of theatrical tie-ins to the Kamen Rider TV series. Agito also appears in the following year's Televi-kun episode, Kamen Rider Ryuki: Ryuki vs. Kamen Rider Agito, though it's not canon to the series as it's All Just a Dream of Ryuki's.Voted #12 series in the Heisei era, and #18 product overall in NHK’s All Kamen Rider Popularity Ranking. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Zig-Zagged, it deals with more darker moments such as genocide from a god, how gruesome the kills are, and how bad two Riders reached their low points and overall, it is still considered one of the darker entries in comparison to its predecessor, its successor, and the next series by the same writer. On the lighter side, it's the only one of the first four Heisei shows with a significant comedy component, but while not to the extent of, oh say Den-O. A good many of the scenes with Shouichi and his adopted family are written as scenes from a Dom Com, and any interactions between Hikawa and Shouichi quickly turn into a Straight Man and Wise Guy sketch. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: So, so much in terms of names. Agito's forms, the name Another Agito, the monster names, and even the Unknowns' also being the Lords? Never mentioned in-show. Even the names "Malakh", "El", and "Theos" were seen written down very briefly in #40, but "Lord" and "Overlord" were never used. The same goes for weapons and most vehicles. (Including the Tornador, if its name being in one of the battle songs doesn't count.) The full Creation Myth wasn't revealed until Bandai released the Kamen Rider Agito Art Archive Icon Painting in 2014, though the first part of it was actually seen on screen in blink-and-you'll-miss-it form. | |

Agito's debut was also this, as Shouichi was controlled by pure instinct. Things would've been FAR easier if a.) Shouichi hadn't attacked G3 during their first meeting, thereby leaving a horrible first impression and b.) he actually talked in the suit. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The Lords normally get hit with this in appearances after the series ended, being upgraded from Anti Villains to full blown villains. Basically, in the teamup movies, hordes of past monsters from all seasons attack the combined Riders, often ignoring how they originally worked and what their motivations were. Using major Nightmare Fuel magical methods to kill people with powers that are a sign of their Seed of Agito waking up so humanity can't overthrow the Overlord of Darkness isn't exactly compatible with attacking non-Agito-related Riders with their bare fists. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag Not only is Another Agito's design meant to invoke the Showa Kamen Riders (it even comes with a Scarf of Asskicking of sorts), but his motorcycle resembles the one used by Kamen Rider BLACK. And the finale mimics that of Kamen Rider Kuuga in more ways than one. Distant Finale format, filled with Where Are They Now, and the lead protagonist doesn't show his face till the end of it. The first group of monsters are big cats, and the second are turtles. This homages Kamen Rider V3, where the first monsters of the week were Scissors Jaguar and Turtle Bazooka. Especially fitting because Agito is the second series of the revived franchise, just as V3 was the second series of the original franchise. V3 and Agito also both follow series where the first monsters were a spider and a bat. Another V3 Monster of the Week reference comes from the Scorpion Lord, Leiurus Acutia◊, who is modeled after V3's Dragon - Doktor G. The Lord's design is clearly based on the Doktor's monster form - Kani Laser◊ - right down to the axe, shield, and general head shape. The reference is further enforced by the fact that they both make their first appearances on the 13th episodes of their respective shows. The Shout-Out takes a step further when you realize that Doktor G's organization is Destron - the V3 baddies with this logo◊. Scary Scorpions, indeed. The Riders themselves have references to V3 - e.g. Another Agito's two scarfs resemble V3's own double-scarf fashion choice, and the G3-X's GA-04 Antoures is modeled after Riderman's Rope Arm. Agito's Cross Horns opening up for finishers was inspired by an unused concept for Kamen Rider Stronger. G3-X's red eyes and mouth guard are apparently called the Red Eyeser and Perfector after similar parts on Kamen Rider X. Agito, the main character of the second Heisei Rider show, evolves into an asymmetrical red-and-blue form, and is paired with a robotic policeman who relies on firearms (G3) and an organic being with supernatural powers (Gills). Kamen Rider V3, the second Showa show, was aired right before Ishinomori's own Kikaider / Kikaider 01, and alongside Robot Detective and Inazumannote Technically, the last episode of Henshin Ninja Arashi was aired a day before the second V3 episode.. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
And he does get a few Break the Haughty moments for being an asshole. He even gets a What You Are in the Dark moment when he learns about a case-breaking clue in a murder. He was forced to decide if he should keep quiet about it and let the G3 Unit be reformed as he wanted, or make the murderer face justice and give the G3 Unit another break as a consequence. He chose the latter. So the Karma Houdini trope is voided. Not to mention the pet the dog moments (see below). | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Lots of different languages, mostly those associated with The Bible. Gratuitous Latin: Latin crops up in a few places. All the Unknowns except the El have Latin genus and species names. The Latin is surprisingly good (maybe not quite perfect, but still...). The genus names sometimes come from real genera, while the species names are usually meaningful Latin words (and the genus names sometimes also fall under this). The given katakana spellings indicate a surprisingly good knowledge of Latin pronunciation. Agito is Latin for "I set in motion", referencing the constant evolution of those who possess the Seed of Agito. Gratuitous English: Yukina Sawaki's letter to Shouichi is finally seen in full in #40, and it's written entirely in English using a faux-Greek font and in a writing style reminiscent of the King James Version of The Bible. It's also full of spelling and grammatical mistakes. Gratuitous Greek: The true names of the Overlords, among other examples. The Overlord of Darkness is named Theos, which is Greek for "God" and the name used for God in the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament. The Overlord of Light is named Promes, presumably short for "Prometheus", the Titan from Classical Mythology who gave fire to humans. Agito is always written ΑGITΩ, so it begins with Alpha and ends with Omega. The use of omega in place of O even extends to the Blu-ray box logo, which is spelled "Blu-ray BΩX". Gratuitous Hebrew: The classes of Unknown have Hebrew names. The regular animal-themed Unknowns are called Malakhs, where malakh is Hebrew for "angel". The anglicized plural "Malakhs" is seen written, instead of the proper Hebrew Malakhim. The highest-level Unknowns are called Els, where El is one of the Hebrew words for "God". As above, the plural is seen written as "Els" instead of the grammatically-correct Elim or Elohim. | |

| Kamen Rider Agito / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: The Unknown will only kill humans who have the potential to become Agito. One Unknown that kills an ordinary human is later forced to kill itself by the Overlord of Darkness. Though he hardly does anything to prevent it, the Overlord of Darkness evidently disapproves of murder amongst humans. Using Hydrozoa Ignio as a mouthpiece, he proclaims "humans shall not kill other humans", refering to Ryuji Tsukasa. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: G3/G3-X compared to most other Riders. He can't transform and has to put his suits on like a normal person and is armed with guns instead of supernatural weapons. However, his suits do exactly what they were designed to; keep the user alive and fight the Unknown. In fact he has the highest defense of any Rider in Agito. In fact, take a look at Badass Normal above, and you'll see that BECAUSE the users are normal, the Unknowns aren't even allowed to kill them. | |

Delayed Reaction | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_3fb6b526 | comment |
Delayed Reaction: The Lords, at least early on, tend to have this when they're killed by Agito's Rider Kick. In one instances, the Lord in question stands up, brushes herself off and laughs...then explodes suddenly. G3's Salamander gets this as well on one monster as well. The only Rider whose finisher seems unable to get this is Gills, but in his case it probably has to do with the long blade driven about an inch or two into their shoulder. | |

Blade Below the Shoulder: G3's GS-03 "Destroyer" is an arm-mounted vibration sword. Strangely, it's also a Deconstruction of the trope, as it's inherent design makes it inaccurate - the hilt is the size of the user's forearm, which makes it that much easier to grab. | |

Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_454d9422 | comment |
Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: In-universe. The Overlord of Darkness still likes 'normal' humans just fine while battling the Riders who got their powers from the Seed of Agito. But then, Hikawa lands a decent hit on him in his purely manmade armor. This makes him decide humans in general were a bad idea and he should kill them all, setting up the final few episodes. | |

Broad Strokes | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: Agito was originally written as a sequel to Kamen Rider Kuuga, but the writers of Kuuga objected to the idea since it would've made Godai's battles meaningless. Instead, Agito was rewritten to work as its own standalone story with certain details between Kuuga and Agito changed. Word of God says it's your choice whether or not you should watch it as a Kuuga sequel/continuation/parallel universe, however, since the Continuity Nods (mostly the first few episodes and the whole reason for G3-X existing), supplementary backstory tie-ins, and similarities are still present either way. | |

So Last Season: The G3 proves to be largely ineffective against the Unknown because it was made to fight the Grongi from Kamen Rider Kuuga. It gets a minor upgrade, after which it is more effective, eventually destroying an Unknown with a couple of grenades. It then gets a proper, much needed Mid-Season Upgrade in G3-X, able to both give as much as it takes. | |

Unstoppable Rage | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_6b983bf7 | comment |
Unstoppable Rage: somewhere between this and Superpowered Evil Side is the original G3-X AI. Hikawa actually goes unconscious from the stress it puts on him, while the G3-X goes on beat up Hojo in the V-1 suit, kill an Unknown, and nearly shoot Agito. Agito's Burning Form operates on this. The angrier Agito gets, the more powerful he becomes in the form. Agito's debut was also this, as Shouichi was controlled by pure instinct. Things would've been FAR easier if a.) Shouichi hadn't attacked G3 during their first meeting, thereby leaving a horrible first impression and b.) he actually talked in the suit. | |

| Kamen Rider Agito / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name The villains of the show have a double meaning. Their first meaning, the Unknown, as in their motives at the start of the show were unknown. Their second meaning comes when the show digs deeper in their story. The Lords, fit their very power. The name "Agito", is a Latin word meaning "to put into motion", referencing Shouichi's evolving powers.' The name of the boat that Shouichi gained his powers from is called the Akatsuki, which means Dawn... as in the dawn of a new generation of humanity. | |

The Voiceless | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_8ec0abf | comment |
The Voiceless: Agito while transformed, for the first 2/3 of the series or so. When Shouichi senses an Unknown and is sent by pure instinct to fight, he drops what he's doing and runs off without a word, then fights equally wordlessly. In #14, he speaks for the first time to say "what?" when his bike transforms into a hoverboard (he didn't know it could do that). The next time he speaks is in #21, when he finds Aki's dead body after a fight: he calls her name multiple times before cursing the Unknown. He is more talkative in Rider form near the end of the series, even saying full sentences. There are still entire extended battles fought without a word, though. Considering that a major conflict in the show kept going because of a lack of clear communication, this became a plot point. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: Agito is full of Judeo-Christian symbolism, with some Greek symbolism thrown in as well. The Unknowns have wing-like protrusions from their backs. The Unknowns have halos that flash above their heads when they want to summon a weapon or right before they die. The Unknowns cross themselves to ask their Overlord for permission to sin before they kill someone. The regular Unknowns are called the Malakh, which is Hebrew for "angel". The highest-level Unknowns are called the El (a Hebrew name for God). The real name of the Overlord of Darkness is Theos, which is Greek for "God" and the name used for God in the original manuscripts of the New Testament. The real name of the Overlord of Light is Promes, which presumably comes from Prometheus, as he is the El of Fire who gave power to humans. Gills is based on the Nephilim, a race of creatures from The Bible that were implied to be the result of angels breeding with humans. The original Gills was the biological child of Promes (an El) and a human woman. The design of Agito's Burning Form is based on the Sacred Heart. The G3 unit is named the Squad Against Unidentified Lifeforms, or S.A.U.L. for short. In The Bible, Saul was the first king of a united Israel and Judah. "Amazing Grace" plays a few times in the last episode, and goes out on it. | |

| Kamen Rider Agito / int_99db72ee | comment |
Immune to Bullets: The Unknowns, most of the time. Makoto is very surprised to find this out the first time since the G3's GM-01 "Scorpion", while likely averting this trope against the Grongi, packs more power than a rifle. Subverted later with the G3-X's GM-05 "Cerberus" - turns out they're not totally immune... | |

The Day the Music Lied: In #13, when Shouichi fights Leiurus Acutia, the battle music plays like it always does when he has a fight ending the monster being blown up. But this time the music abruptly stops because the scorpion stings Shouichi, and gets away while he's lying on the ground, poisoned. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Many of the Unknown's modi operandi fit the bill. The Tortoise Lords bury their victims alive, the Zebra Lords cause rapid decay, and the Bee Lords phase their victims into walls. In the TV special A New Transformation, the Beetle Lord shoots a dart that causes its victims' bodies to collapse into ash. Has shades of Body Horror - especially when one victim tries to runs away from the Lord with a limp. Cue him looking down to find his left leg having vanished into a pile of ash. | |

Continuity Nod: The G3 suit was originally designed to fight Grongi. In fact, it looks like a robotic version of Unidentified Life Form #4 and is referred to as such. SIC Hero Saga ups the reference by showing the G-1 as looking near-identical to Kuuga. G3's bike, the Guardchaser, also takes its name from Kuuga's Try/Beatchaser. | |

Gratuitous Greek | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_a059270 | comment |
Gratuitous Greek: The true names of the Overlords, among other examples. The Overlord of Darkness is named Theos, which is Greek for "God" and the name used for God in the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament. The Overlord of Light is named Promes, presumably short for "Prometheus", the Titan from Classical Mythology who gave fire to humans. Agito is always written ΑGITΩ, so it begins with Alpha and ends with Omega. The use of omega in place of O even extends to the Blu-ray box logo, which is spelled "Blu-ray BΩX". | |

Homage | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_a1a1491e | comment |
Homage: The G3 System and related department (S.A.U.L.) is similar to an older Metal Heroes show, Blue SWAT (right down to the need for a support van), while using arm weaponry not far removed from that of Riderman. The competing V-1 system goes further, visibly resembling Space Sheriff Gavan and using a surviving Blue SWAT prop as its main weapon (the customized Dictator handgun). Kaoru Kino's brilliant but unlicensed medical background seems familiar. The emphasis placed on his replaced right arm is also similar to Riderman's. Gills's transformation and brawling fighting style seem very similar to another feral Rider. | |

Finishing Move | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_a43a691b | comment |
Finishing Move: Like nearly every Rider in existence, the leads in this series all have their own. Agito, in fact, has one for every form. Gills (and his Mid-Season Upgrade form Exceed Gills) has the Heel Claw. And Another Agito has the Assault Kick. G3 might be an averted example, but its successor G3-X has something akin to a finisher in the form of his Cerberus Gatling Gun. G3-X generally starts a fight with his other weapons before breaking out the Cerberus to finish off his enemy. | |

Gratuitous Latin | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_a448674 | comment |
Gratuitous Latin: Latin crops up in a few places. All the Unknowns except the El have Latin genus and species names. The Latin is surprisingly good (maybe not quite perfect, but still...). The genus names sometimes come from real genera, while the species names are usually meaningful Latin words (and the genus names sometimes also fall under this). The given katakana spellings indicate a surprisingly good knowledge of Latin pronunciation. Agito is Latin for "I set in motion", referencing the constant evolution of those who possess the Seed of Agito. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Hojo, who, despite having been a total dick throughout the series, escapes with his ass unkicked. However, he is satisfyingly cowed the first time he fights an Unknown. The assholery ends there. While he is an ass, he never quite does anything that would make him a corrupt cop. And he does get a few Break the Haughty moments for being an asshole. He even gets a What You Are in the Dark moment when he learns about a case-breaking clue in a murder. He was forced to decide if he should keep quiet about it and let the G3 Unit be reformed as he wanted, or make the murderer face justice and give the G3 Unit another break as a consequence. He chose the latter. So the Karma Houdini trope is voided. Not to mention the pet the dog moments (see below). The Overlord of Darkness himself seems to get off scot-free. That said, he can't be permanently killed, only having his body destroyed, so this might be the best Agito and his allies could do to him. He does get his ego shattered quite a few times over the course of the show.... | |

Accidental Misnaming: Type C: As a Running Gag, Shouichi will often refer to other characters, particularly Hikawa, as "Kongouji". In the movie, this is reversed onto Shouichi. In a brief scene, he's stopped by someone when he leaves a restaurant. The person has mistaken him for an old classmate named, you guessed it, "Kongouji". | |

The Lad-ette: Sumiko Ozawa is exceedingly blunt, making it a point to slag off anyone she has a problem with to their face. She's also a heavy drinker; in one episode, she had no less than seven pints of beer in one sitting, and she didn't come off as even slightly drunk afterwards. Then you add the fact that she's got some aspects of Wrench Wench (with her being the creator of the G3 System and all)... Best part? She designs the G3-X pretty much immediately after drinking the 7+ pints of beer. And this is a kid's show! | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: One year later... Ryo has left town is wondering the world with a puppy. The G5 Unit, a thirty-man unit established to replace the retired G3 Unit, has finished their training. Hikawa is back to regular police duties with Koji Kono. Ozawa moved to England to work at the University of West London as a professor. Omuro is captain of the G5 Unit (and has grown a moustache). Toru meets Ozawa at university, suggesting that he has fallen in love with her, but rescinds this as a joke and they remain rivals despite hard-won mutual respect. Shouichi has opened up his own restaurant, named Agito, where he treats his adopted family to the Shouichi Special. | |

Cool Bike: Normally this is the part where we say "Kamen Rider, of course," but many Turn of the Millennium series only have the bike in an episode or three for Merchandise-Driven purposes and not everyone gets one. This series is not like that. All the Riders do plenty of riding, their civilian-used machines transforming with them (how does a semi-mystical evolution-mutation-thing do that? Best not to ask.) except for non-morphing G3, of course. There are several bike chases as well. | |

The only exception to this is Ryo raising his arm up before dropping dead, referencing his death earlier in the show before being resurrected by Mana, which actually did happen prior to this opening. | |

Creation Myth | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_d250df04 | comment |
Creation Myth: There is a rather detailed backstory behind the origins of humanity. Part of it is written down in Yukina's letter to Shouichi, which is only shown on screen for a few frames, and other parts of it are hinted at in the tapestry that appears in the opening credits, but the full story wasn't revealed to the public until 2014 when Bandai began selling prints of the tapestry, which included a copy of the story with it. The full story is a cross of The Bible's creation myth, including the story of Noah's Ark, combined with Rage Against the Heavens and the story of Prometheus from Classical Mythology. The story also explains the origin of Gills and the significance of Agito's Flame Form, and it gives names to a number of characters who were only known by their titles in most materials: including Theos (the Overlord of Darkness), Promes (the Overlord of Light), and the Malakh (the regular Unknowns). | |

Scarf of Asskicking | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_d88faed2 | comment |
Not only is Another Agito's design meant to invoke the Showa Kamen Riders (it even comes with a Scarf of Asskicking of sorts), but his motorcycle resembles the one used by Kamen Rider BLACK. | |

Transformation Trinket | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_dbde0b49 | comment |
Transformation Trinket: Zig-Zagged depending on the Rider. Played straight with Agito, who uses the Alter Ring to transform. Unlike Riders in later series, though, the Alter Ring is part of him and appears when he wills it to; someone else can't just pick it up and use it to transform. Averted with G3, who isn't a Henshin Hero at all: he has to manually put on his Powered Armor piece by piece. Averted with Gills, though with a slight teaser: he does have a belt, called the Meta Factor, but it's not part of his transformation sequence at all. Played straight with Another Agito, who uses the Ankh Point to transform. As with Agito, the belt is part of him and can't be given to someone else. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: Numerous references made over the course of the series place Agito (2001-02) and Kuuga (2000-01) as taking place in their year of broadcast. The problem is, Agito is supposed to be two years following Kuuga, making its connection to the former series more of a Broad Strokes deal. Notably, the crossover video game Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu places its Agito story in the months following the fall of the Unknown in 2004, taking Kuuga's side despite not featuring that series in its line-up. | |

Absurdly Sharp Blade | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_e0c00a95 | comment |
Absurdly Sharp Blade: G3's GS-03 "Destroyer"note G3 is wearing it in the page image and G3-X's GK-06 "Unicorn", a vibration arm-sword and handheld knife. The former is something of a subversion as, due to its design, it never lands a hit on anyone. Ever. The latter, despite being maybe half as strong, is effective against the series Dragon. | |

Monster of the Week | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_e9604359 | comment |
Another V3 Monster of the Week reference comes from the Scorpion Lord, Leiurus Acutia◊, who is modeled after V3's Dragon - Doktor G. The Lord's design is clearly based on the Doktor's monster form - Kani Laser◊ - right down to the axe, shield, and general head shape. The reference is further enforced by the fact that they both make their first appearances on the 13th episodes of their respective shows. | |

Multiform Balance | |
| Kamen Rider Agito / int_eb7b1a84 | comment |
Multiform Balance: Agito gets multiple forms to choose from: Ground Form is a Jack of All Stats, Storm Form is a Fragile Speedster, Flame Form is a Stone Wall, and combining all three into Trinity Form makes him a Lightning Bruiser. He then gets a Mighty Glacier Burning Form before his final Super Mode, Shining Form. | |

Stone Wall: G3 isn't initially effective against the Unknowns, but it definitely keeps the wearer(s) alive (in fact, the Generation Series has the best defense of all the Riders in Agito). G3-X, on the other hand, is more of a Lightning Bruiser. | |

God Cannot Comprehend Humanity: In the final episode when the Overlord of Darkness returns to the realm where the human he revived and borrowed the appearance of is about to die, he says his purpose for reviving that man was to have him become the Overlord's angel who would kill Agito. However, even though he had been defeated by humans and Agito working together, the Overlord of Darkness believed that humans would one day kill Agito. The man he had borrowed the appearance of called him on it, saying that even if the Overlord of Darkness created humanity, he has absolutely no idea what humans are like, and that they will be able to accept Agito. The Overlord of Darkness responds by saying that they will wait and see together. | |

Pet the Dog: Despite being a selfish Jerkass, Hojo has two Pet the Dog moments: When Hojo discovers his mentor is a murderer, he turns the guy in despite the massive amount of respect he has for his mentor. When Hikawa starts going blind from stress, Hojo acts as Hikawa's eyes to help him fight an Unknown, with no apparent ulterior motive. | |
