Kamen Rider Blade (Masked Rider ♠) is the 2004-2005 series of Kamen Rider and the fifth installment in the Heisei Era.Ten thousand years ago, a massive battle royale took place between the immortal Undead monsters, each one representing a species of creature on Earth. The Human Undead was the victor, and as a result the human race was allowed to multiply and populate the Earth as its dominant species. Meanwhile, the losing Undead were sealed into cards to slumber for eternity.Fast forward to the present day. The Undead have been released from their confinement and have started a new battle royale for dominance over the Earth. To counteract this, the secret organisation BOARD has created the Rouse Card System and recruited two individuals- Kazuma Kenzaki and Sakuya Tachibana- to seal the Undead on behalf of the human race by merging with Sealed Category Ace Undeads to become Kamen Riders. Kenzaki merges with the Sealed Category Ace of Spades to become Kamen Rider Blade, while Tachibana uses the Sealed Category Ace of Diamonds to transform into Kamen Rider Garren.Unfortunately, BOARD is swiftly destroyed by an Undead attack and Kenzaki finds that Tachibana has apparently betrayed the human race. A second opponent is found in Hajime Aikawa, an introverted photographer who hides a deadly secret: he is actually an Undead who can use the Sealed Category Ace of Hearts card to transform into Kamen Rider Chalice without the use of an external Rouzer device. The quartet of Riders is completed with Mutsuki Kamijo, who is chosen by the Sealed Category Ace of Clubs card to become Kamen Rider Leangle, only to have the evil Spider Undead sealed within slowly take over his mind and create a new, deadly enemy.The show's slogan, "Now your power is at its peak", is a reference to a comment made by one character in regards to titular character Kazuma Kenzaki: that he reaches his maximum potential as Blade when he is fighting to protect others.Partnered with the Super Sentai show Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger after initially airing alongside the final episodes of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger in the Super Hero Time block.In addition to the main series, Kamen Rider Blade has two spinoffs. Kamen Rider Blade: Blade vs. Blade is a DVD episode that was distributed by Televi-kun magazine, where Blade faces off with an Evil Twin. Kamen Rider Blade: Missing Ace is a Non-Serial Movie set a few years after an alternate ending to the series.Kamen Rider Outsiders continues Sakuya Tachibana's story, after nearly two decades of suit-only cameos and Alternate Timeline portrayals.Followed by Kamen Rider Hibiki. | |

Kamen Rider Blade / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Kenzaki briefly goes through a phase of this after Tachibana's apparent betrayal. Parodied later on with Kotaro when his date Miyuki revealed herself to him as the Orchid Undead. His usually good cooking drops into Lethal Chef territory, although Tachibana can still eat it for some reason. Tachibana is in this from the start of the series due to his fear the Rouse System might kill him. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While it greatly tones down the blood, graphic violence and terrifying content of its predecessor, Blade still has its fair share of dramatic moments. The first arc of the series deals with Tachibana making a Deal with the Devil with Isaka to help rid of his fear at the cost of becoming his unwilling soldier which culminated in Sayoko being killed by the Undead. Even after that's done, there's also the factor of the improperly sealed Spider Undead repeatedly and gradually corrupting Mutsuki until he becomes fully evil with the heroes failing to save him in spite of their efforts. Other factors include Hajime's reveal as the Joker, whose presence as the last standing Undead destroys the world, Kenzaki's rapid unstable evolution by the time he attained King Form, and in the end, Kenzaki forgoes his humanity and becomes a Joker to ensure the planet's safety and Hajime's happiness at the cost of the two having to stay away from each other. | |

Kamen Rider Blade / int_1aa76d29 | comment |
Death by Origin Story: The fate of Amane's father could be considered this, since it ties in directly with Hajime's origins. Double subverted later on when Yoshito Hirose, presumed dead after releasing the Undead in the first place, turns up alive - only for that 'Hirose' to later be revealed to be a Trial monster himself. | |

Primal Fear: Tachibana's fear of his body degenerating due to prolonged use of the Rouze System. Turns out it was all in his head. Something of a Chekhov's Boomerang given later everyone learned of the nature of the Rouzers and King form later in the series turning users into Undead. | |

Unwanted Assistance | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_24b88e85 | comment |
Unwanted Assistance: Done entirely for humor in the Hyper Battle Video. A Trial has impersonated Kazuma, and he asks Tachibana and Mutsuki for help. Each of them in turn says "I know who the impostor is!", pulls out his personal weapon (while not transformed)...and attacks the real Kazuma, getting him shot in the ass and bashed over the head respectively. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag Sakuya Tachibana (Kamen Rider Garren) shares his surname with the original Kamen Riders' mentor, Tobei Tachibana, alluding to his role as the most senior Rider in this season. The red scarf from the Blade Vs Blade video, which nobody but the audience can see. And Sakuya's former colleague Kiryu had an accident in which one of his arms had to be replaced with a mechanical appendage. Kiryu later retrofits it to release lethal electric currents, thereby referencing both Riderman and Stronger. Instead of a spider monster in the first episode, we have a spider monster as a recurring villain of sorts, slowly turning Mutsuki evil despite being sealed in card form. Hajime's Identical Stranger steps into the Cooking Duel with a ridiculous suit of armor, which he calls his Ultimate Form: a term that originated in Kamen Rider Kuuga, referring to the lead Rider of each season's final Super Mode. Not to mention that the armor was mostly black and gold just as Kuuga Ultimate Form was. Also from Kuuga: the Undeads' belt buckles cracking open upon defeat happened to the Grongi as well (but are a valid plot device this time.) The story parallels Kamen Rider Ryuki in several ways - ignoring the obvious use of cards, Riders in Ryuki and Undeads in Blade must fight and kill each other until one is left, and the last few episodes see the world swarmed with thousands of bug monsters for related reasons. In fact, not only have we seen cards as powerup devices combined with a There Can Be Only One plot before, we'll see it again. One related to it's first Super Hero Time Partner, albeit likely a coincidence - the first episode of this series aired alongside episode 48 of Abaranger, which saw Mikoto Nakadai/Abarekiller die - Kamen Rider Agito was in a similar situation, as it's first episode aired alongside episode 49 of Mirai Sentai Timeranger, when Naoto Takizawa/Timefire dies. | |

Batman Gambit | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Used to defeat the Titan Undead. It'd been impersonating the group the entire time, making them unsure of who they could trust and making it hard to find. Hajime seemed to lose control and assume his Joker form and Kenzaki seemed to be unable to finish him. So the Titan emerged to try and finish the Joker himself, only to be caught by Garren and Leangle. Hajime returns to human form and reveals that was what they were hoping for. He only pretended to lose control and Kenzaki pretended to be unable to stop him so the Titan, who as an Undead fears the Joker and wants him done away with, would try to finish him itself, walking right into their trap. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Hajime is allowed to live on as a human, but the Sealing Stone still exists which means Kenzaki must keep as far away from Hajime as possible. Might also sort-of qualify as a Downer Ending. The Movie has an even more bittersweet one. The Albino Joker is killed, but at the cost of Hajime making a Heroic Sacrifice. Kamen Rider Zi-O also makes it more bittersweet when Kenzaki and Hajime end up being forced to finally fight each other due to the show's time traveling shenanigans, which they're pretty much immune to in their case, allowing them to stay Riders in the present. It gets better however, as both Kenzaki and Hajime's Joker powers end up being simultaneously sealed in Ridewatches, forever keeping the battle royale in a stalemate while reverting them into pure humans and taking away their need to avoid each other anymore. | |

Kamen Rider Blade / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: The series uses Playing Card Motifs for this purpose, with there being a total of 52 Undead that the Kamen Riders have to defeat and seal away. That said, not all 52 Undead appearnote Since they're used to power the Riders' transformations and abilities, a few of them start off the show already sealed away and never get unsealed, and the ones that are absent — namely, the Jokers — end up being far more important. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Kenzaki in the finale, who sacrifices his humanity. Noboru Shima/Tarantula Undead to save Mutsuki from being controlled by the Spider Undead. Although it didn't take until MUCH later on when Hikaru did the same. Hajime in the movie, who switches places with Amane as the Albino Joker's power source so Kenzaki can destroy it and weaken the Albino Joker, killing Hajime in the process. | |

The Only One: BOARD gets ransacked in the first episode. We start the series with two members (one being our hero) and a mysterious, unaligned Rider who considers everyone his enemy as the only good guys who are alive and free, and a lot of questions as to what is really going on that they have to solve on their own. At least they got to salvage some of the lab equipment (most notably their monster detector.) | |

Kamen Rider Blade / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Blade's King Form. This is because of a glaring flaw in the overall Rider System: Kenzaki's overly-high fusion ratio caused the Blade System to exceed its perimeters and fuse his DNA with all 13 sealed Undead associated with the suit of Spades, instead of just the Category King. Because of this, extended activity in King Form raises his fusion ratio, which would eventually mutate him into a Joker-type Undead. | |

Kamen Rider Blade / int_94d2506d | comment |
Can't Catch Up: Kamen Rider Leangle, touted as the 'strongest Rider' early into his debut, lived up to that at first, but became woefully outclassed when the others got their Super Modes. He tried to catch up, but never did. Though it should be noted that he never quite falls so far behind that he's useless, which ironically shows how his Ace Form was indeed the strongest. | |

Evil Is Not a Toy | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_9fb2452d | comment |
Evil Is Not a Toy: Miyuki once told Hajime of Daichi's location to get the two to fight and hoped her fellow Royal Club would be able to demolish him. Upon noticing her watching them, Daichi then chased after Miyuki, imperatively telling her that he doesn't wish to fight that much. Miyuki then feigned an apology in attempt to deceptively strike him, but Daichi eventually proved to be too powerful for her to defeat, thus leaving her critically injured. Kerberos kills the scientists involved in its genesis upon creation. Tennoji pulverizing Kanai in battle as Artificial Kerberos while smugly claiming to him that he's an Undead comes back to bite him as when he demands to the Riders to seal Kanai in order for his desire to rule the world to happen, the Undead slits his head, claiming the madman to be "sealed" and as an Undead that must be defeated. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: The series ends with this. After all other Undead were defeated and sealed, Haijime was left as the sole active Undead, making him the technical winner of the Battle Fight. Since he's the Joker Undead, him winning means that the Battle Fight was considered a failure, causing the stone monolith to unleash an endless horde of monsters set to destroy all life so that a new set of life forms could replace it. Normally, the only way to end this is to seal the Joker, but everyone refused to do it since it would mean that Hajime would be permanently sealed off. To avert this, Kenzaki deliberately repeatedly used his King form until it transformed him into a Joker Undead, reopening the Battle Fight and pausing the apocalypse as there are now two active Undead. Kenzaki and Hajime go their separate ways to ensure that they are not compelled to fight, leaving the Battle Fight unfinished and the apocalypse postponed indefinitely. | |

Having sealed every Undead already with there being no indication of there being another one, he comes out of nowhere and what really throws them off is how intelligent he is compared to the normal Joker, who in his natural state is a raging beast. By the time they figure that out, he's already played them like fiddles and gotten what he wants. | |

Deadly Upgrade | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_cf41a26 | comment |
Deadly Upgrade: Blade's King Form. This is because of a glaring flaw in the overall Rider System: Kenzaki's overly-high fusion ratio caused the Blade System to exceed its perimeters and fuse his DNA with all 13 sealed Undead associated with the suit of Spades, instead of just the Category King. Because of this, extended activity in King Form raises his fusion ratio, which would eventually mutate him into a Joker-type Undead. Chalice's Wild Form. | |

Everybody Lives | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_d1b4f0ef | comment |
Everybody Lives: All four Riders and their civilian buddies live (although Kenzaki is now an Undead and must avoid Hajime at all costs). It's worth noting that the MotWs of this season don't really die either. As Undead, the only way to put them down is to seal them into cards - only the Trial Undeads and Roaches can be killed. | |

Creation Myth | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_d250df04 | comment |
Creation Myth: The series revolves around the Battle Fight, a free-for-all battle royale which started 10,000 years ago when God created the Undead in the form of the a stone slab called the Monolith. Each represented a different species, and if one of the main 52 won, the victor's species would inherit the Earth, while if the Joker won, all life would be destroyed. The fight ended with the Human Undead victorious, sealing the others away, and thus the world has been populated by humans ever since. | |

Humans Are Special | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_e0207930 | comment |
Humans Are Special: Humans have a great deal of traits that the Undead didn't start out with, such as compassion and caring about others. Some Undead who can assume human form, such as Shima and Hajime, discover this and perform a Heel–Face Turn as a result of finding they actually like these traits. | |

Expy: An in-universe version; the Missing Ace Riders' powers are modeled on the four from the TV series: Glaive is Blade, Larc is a combination of Garren and Chalice, and Lance is Leangle. Also worth noting is two specific Trial Monsters, one modeled after Garren's battle style and another modeled after Leangle's battle style. | |

Kamen Rider Blade / int_eb7b1a84 | comment |
Multiform Balance: With the exception of Leangle, all of the Riders have at least two forms. And even then Leangle gets Jack Form in the manga and S.I.C. toyline. Jack of All Stats: Blade, Garren and Chalice's Ace Form. Lightning Bruiser: Leangle's Ace Form Glass Cannon: Blade and Garren's Jack Forms.note The latter's also counts as his Super Mode. Super Mode: Blade's King Form and Chalice's Wild Form. | |

Identical Stranger | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Hajime's Identical Stranger steps into the Cooking Duel with a ridiculous suit of armor, which he calls his Ultimate Form: a term that originated in Kamen Rider Kuuga, referring to the lead Rider of each season's final Super Mode. Not to mention that the armor was mostly black and gold just as Kuuga Ultimate Form was. Also from Kuuga: the Undeads' belt buckles cracking open upon defeat happened to the Grongi as well (but are a valid plot device this time.) | |

Weapon Specialization | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_fc148c2c | comment |
Weapon Specialization: All the Riders have their own weapons, usually their Rouzers (except for Chalice, whose Rouzer is only used to activate attacks but can't be used as a weapon on its own). Cool Sword: Kazuma/Blade is armed with the Blay Rouzer and King Rouzer, both swords. Junichi/Glaive uses a modified version of the Blay Rouzer, the Glaive Rouzer. Handguns: Sakuya/Garren is armed with the Garren Rouzer, a high-tech gun. Mutsuki/Leangle is armed with the Leangle Rouzer, an extendable staff weapon with a clover-shaped spearhead. Shin/Lance uses the Lance Rouzer, a spear. The Straight and Arrow Path: Hajime/Chalice is armed with the Chalice Arrow, a longbow. Natsumi/Larc is armed with the Larc Rouzer, a crossbow. Sinister Scythe / Dual Wielding: Hajime/Chalice again - when he's in Wild Form, he gets the Wild Slasher, which can be split into two kama. BFS: Kazuma/Blade again in King Form, with its King Rouzer. | |

Theme Naming | |
Kamen Rider Blade / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The Riders are all named after the suit of the Minor Arcana corresponding to their playing card suit, and their given names all contain some reference to being first (Ace). "Blade" references the suit of swords, and the "Kazu" in "Kazuma" means "one". "Garren" is a corruption of "galleon" (a kind of coin), referencing the suit of coins, and the "Saku" in "Sakuya" means the first day of the lunar month. "Chalice" references the suit of cups, and "Hajime" means "beginning". "Leangle" is a corruption of "liangle" (a type of polearm), referencing the suit of wands, and "Mutsuki" means the first month of the lunar calendar. | |
