Kamen Rider Gaim is the 2013-2014 Kamen Rider series; the fifteenth entry in the franchise's Heisei era and the twenty-fourth series overall. The head writer is Gen Urobuchi of Fate/Zero, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Psycho-Pass fame, with his fellow nitro+ staff members contributing to the writing and designs.note Although Gaim media does not officially hold the nitro+ label, the company has acknowledged it as one of their coproductions.In Zawame City, the suffocating presence of the Yggdrasill Corporation has led to the city's youth forming competing street-dance crews as a way to bring energy and excitement back into their lives.Another popular activity is a Mons game that uses fruit and nut-themed padlocks called Lockseeds to summon tiny creatures called "Inves". As the game becomes more and more popular, strange dimensional tears begin to open around the city to the mysterious Helheim Forest. When an Inves consumes a fruit from this forest, there is a chance of it evolving into a more powerful form but at the risk of losing all control and going on a hunger-induced rampage.Kouta Kazuraba is an earnest young man who quits his dance crew - Team Gaim - so that he can find a job and support his sister. When he is caught up in the attack of a berserk Inves, Kouta stumbles upon a strange transformation belt and Lockseed, which he uses to transform into "Armored Rider Gaim" and defend his friends and the city.However, it is not as simple as that. There are many other Armored Riders in the city with their own motivations and sense of justice, and soon a modern version of the Warring States Era erupts between the masked warriors. One where even the winners will learn that with power comes the need to make ugly choices...Ended with 47 episodes. Preceded by Kamen Rider Wizard, followed by Kamen Rider Drive. Aired alongside Super Sentai shows Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and then Ressha Sentai ToQger in the Super Hero Time block.Kamen Rider Gaim's tie-in projects include:

Secret Identity
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_112890b3
comment
Secret Identity: Largely averted, seeing as some Riders are part of the dance crews, and the DJ shows footage of their activities as part of the constant battle for team standings. Only Zangetsu consistently has one, and that has more to do with his not being forthcoming than keeping a secret. Until Mitsuzane takes the identity, and then he does have a vested interest in keeping his face hidden. Micchy has a more mundane one, posing as a snobby private school student during school hours and unwinding as his "real self" as a part of Team Gaim during his downtime. On top of that, he also kept his activities as Ryugen from his brother. And as noted, he's now the new Zangetsu Shin and keeping that a secret from Kouta and the other Armored Riders. Oren is not even trying — since becoming Bravo, he's happily replaced his pictures on his cake box cards with ones that have him donning his Bravo armor.

The Artifact
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: In-universe, the Beat Riders' street dancing started taking a backseat to the Inves Game even before the series started; in one episode Mai laments the fact that the Rider rankings are more based upon the team's record in the Inves Game than their actual dancing skills. After a good chunk of Armored Riders pop up in the scene, the Inves Games slowly take a backseat to the Rider battles. This progressed until #18, when the remaining Beat Riders ended their competition (and with it, use of the Inves Game to solve disputes) and those who just wanted to dance merged into a single troupe.

Instant Expert: Whatever Arms the riders are using, they'll know all of their special functions, attributes and finishing moves instantly. The last part is justified: All of them are activated by slamming the Cutting Blade once for "Squash", twice for "Au Lait", or three times for "Sparking" attacks.

A strong case of this in #23, where we go from Kouta breaking out of his Heroic BSoD and finding his Heroic Resolve to a gag about the size of Kouta's tab with Drupers to Kouta Storming the Castle and singlehandedly trashing the Scalar system!

 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: Notice that most of the marketing (including the banner used as the page image here) either downplays or ignores Kamen Rider Kurokage. Not surprisingly, he is the first Armored Rider to be stripped of his powers and then killed. Similarly, but much more subtly, one of the vehicles in a magazine scan has its user, Kurokage, shown with his belt as a black silhouette. This is because the original Kurokage driver is similar to but not identical to the mass-produced ones used by the actual users of the Tuliphoppers: the Kurokage Troopers that appear after the death of the original.

A more general example is how unassuming the series is at first. It shows very bright-colored Kamen Riders and the ridiculous theme for their trinkets being fruit. But as the story progresses, you realize how much Darker and Edgier it is compared to other Kamen Rider series.

Conflicting Loyalty
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_14c791fb
comment
Conflicting Loyalty: The main setup of #17 is that Mitsuzane's first task upon joining Yggdrasill is to steal Kouta's belt. Torn between his friendship with Kouta and his allegiance with Yggdrasill, he sets up a hostage situation with himself being a mystery ransomer. However, his plan is foiled by Oren and he is forced to go through the conflict again, with him ultimately siding with Kouta. However, he still keeps his ties to Yggdrasill by convincing them in making him The Mole. He has this conflict for a while though, before Mai kills one of his loyalties by slapping him. Unfortunately, it kills his loyalty towards Kouta.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Our first look at Oren's Hidden Depths involves his old army uniform, an olive green dress uniform with way too many badges and a red beret. Really makes you wonder what kind of military he was in... Sid, the shady Lockseed dealer, dresses and behaves suspiciously similar to a real world drug dealer. In #38, Micchy tactically attempts to manipulate Mai by attacking her self-esteem and self worth (claiming she needs to come with him for her own protection) in a scene that disturbingly resembles what Real Life emotional abusers do to break down their targets. In #41 Oren kneels down beside Jonouchi and starts jiggling his... belt.

She then declares war, making her a threat to all of humanity. She even Lampshades this:

Genre Shift
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: In the beginning, the story was essentially a kid-friendly version of Sengoku-era orientated works that focused on the origins of several major players and had lots of light-hearted moments that didn't make it too removed from its predecessors. However, after the first arc, it shifts over to more of Gen Urobuchi's flavor of story and comes closer to the tone of the earlier Heisei series.

The Worf Effect
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: The Curb-Stomp Battle between Bravo and Baron, the first time Baron is forced to rely on summoning Inves, and still lost. Justified as Bravo is a trained soldier while Baron is, while badass, a normal guy. And then in #11, Zangetsu turns right around and makes Bravo look like a fool, justified because he understands the Sengoku Driver's functions completely while Bravo is learning as he goes. Also because Bravo was busy swooning over Zangetsu at the time. Then played straight in #17 and #21. Thanks to Oren and Sid picking fights, Gaim uses Jimber Lemon Arms and beats both Bravo and Sigurd fair and square. Taken even further in #44, where Bravo going against Lord Baron actually costs him his Driver.

Victim of the Week: Also averted like Monster of the Week above, but all the movie events play with this. In Sengoku Movie Taisen, it's Tokugawa. In Kamen Rider Taisen, it's Kamen Rider Fifteen (rather than his son who's Dead All Along). In the Gaim summer movie it's heavily implied to be Kamen Rider Kamuro.

Even the final conflict of the series comes down to Kouta fighting his rival and on-and-off ally Kaito Kumon, Armored Rider Baron. Despite them having essentially the same goal, their methods of achieving that goal are completely incompatible: they both want to change the world for the better, but Kaito wants to tear it all down and start over while Kouta thinks the world can be changed without having to go that far.

Poor Communication Kills
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_1c445e86
comment
Of Poor Communication Kills induced Conflict Balls. As you might notice above, this trope commonly seen in early Hesei-era Kamen Rider shows gets averted more times than it actually gets played straight. For an example, Takatora manages to tell Kouta his reason for fighting and Kouta accepts it and understands Yggdrasill, even if the reason's a little shocking... cue Sid dropping by to tell Kouta about Yggdrasill's Scalar Weapons system, effectively resetting the conflict with Yggdrasill with a pretty clear reason why the trope exists in universe: almost everyone has ulterior motives.

Next Tier Powerup also gets deconstructed. In many Shōnen series, when you ascend to new levels of power by using whichever methods or sources that happen to be available to you, the consequences are usually minimal or can be shrugged of until the end of series. Here? Well, enjoy your humanity while it lasts. This particular deconstruction has been a reoccurring theme from as far back as Kuuga.

In Knuckle Gaiden, it's shown in an early scene that Team Baron have Kaito's old Drivers as part of their shrine to him. Once Zack gets the Marron Energy Lockseed that he can't use without a Genesis Driver, he sends Peko to get the Genesis Core from Kaito's broken Genesis Driver.

Red Right Hand: The Inves we know to be transformed humans all have a giant, clawed right hand and a more human left one. Also, when Hase was able to temporarily return to human form, one hand stayed partially mutated. We see this about when we realize that even when looking mostly like himself again, his mind is still that of a beast.

Kid Hero: Deconstructed. As Sid points out, the reason why Yggdrasill is giving Sengoku Drivers to Beat Rider teams is because they are run by irresponsible, egocentric teenagers who never question why they are getting such power making them perfect pawns while a responsible adult will instantly realize something is wrong.

Funny Background Event: #14 has the slacker waitress drawing and brandishing a broom when Hase turns Inves and attacks the fruit bar. The Inves summoned during the all Beat Riders event in #18 actually take to the stage before Gaim starts dealing with them. In the crossover with ToQger, Takatora is shown berating his employees for supposedly lying about a battle between a Humongous Mecha and a giant Inves. Said battle is literally taking place right outside his window as this conversation is happening.

Limit Break
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_2afb1a9
comment
Limit Break: Using the Cutting Blade while transformed allows the Riders to use their Arms' special attacks. Different abilities activate depending on how many cuts are made: One cut: (Arms) Squash, generally the Finishing Move. The most common is of course a Rider Kick, but other variations exist. Two cuts: (Arms) Au Lait, generally a powerful attack that makes use of either the Rider's weapon or energy projections. Three Cuts: (Arms) Sparking, a multipurpose function. Though generally another Special Attack, it also makes creative use of the Armor Parts, as seen with Kouta and his armor transforming into a powerful spinning helmet. In this way, it's a sort of defensive function.

Hidden Depths
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_2dc0d2bf
comment
Hidden Depths: Oren's flamboyant wackiness makes him seem like a Joke Character until he shows his fighting prowess. Turns out he's ex-military. On top of that, he is able to resist a Helheim fruit while Driverless (a considerable feat, considering how hypnotically appealing the fruit appears to people throughout the series. He is in fact the only one ever to be tempted to eat one and resist it without help; even Right, ToQGer's Red Ranger, needed Kouta to blast a fruit just in time to prevent him from suffering the fate of Yuya and Hase.). This without knowing what will happen if he eats it, and after not having eaten in days. He is able to remember his training, remind himself that eating an unknown strange fruit is not a good idea, and move on. Minato/Kamen Rider Marika is quite badass, but it's more impressive once Kouta starts utilizing the Energy Lockseeds (assuming that the Jimber Arms work for him like the Energy Arms work for the original users). The Peach Lockseed doesn't give the strength of Lemon or the speed of Cherry, and the super hearing it bequeaths could be used against the user. That means that Minato manages to be that tough by relying on her own skills to make up for less powerful armor, despite every sound around her being cranked up to eleven.

Gratuitous English: The show is influenced by American hip-hop dancing, so it's to be expected. Belt sounds for Baron, Gridon and Bravo's Arms are all in English; belt sounds for Gaim have English at the end ("Hanamichi On Stage!") Kurokage has them as well ("Ichigeki In the Shadows!") At the start of the Gaim/Wizard team-up movie, Haruto's number plate on his bike suggests he's somewhere in the Carinthia (de:Kärnten) region of Austria, yet the kids speak to him in English.

You might think that Yomotsuheguri would be the downfall for Mitsuzane and that he'd die from it, leading into Kouta's Cooldown Hug to him as he dies... But the knife twists it as it shows Kouta being the one seemingly dying and that he breaks it before it actually causes permanent damage to Micchy. Then again, this isn't the first time the main Rider is "killed" off and then comes back to life in the next episode (or two).

Supervillain Lair: Yggdrasill Tower. It lords over Zawame City, has a permanent portal to Helheim in it, is heavily armed with laser guns, has an Invisibility Cloak to stop the populace from realizing anything weird is going on, and possesses the Scalar System, a WMD that can destroy the entire city and kill everyone in it. Interestingly enough, the tower becomes a lair for Redyue once she begins her invasion of Earth and overruns the building with plants from Helheim.

Chest Insignia: Gaim has his curved-sword crest on his helmet. Other than that, everyone who uses an S Lockseed has one: the regular Energy Arms have a circle to the side with the Riders' symbol, the Jimber Arms sport Gaim's symbol on one of the colored strips, and Kachidoki Arms has a gigantic full-chest logo. Kiwami Arms takes it to its natural conclusion, and places the outer emblem around the helmet crest, giving it a crown-like effect. Fitting, for a shogun.

Which probably explains why, out of the four Genesis Drivers, his is the only one that has such a call. Or why, as seen in Duke Gaiden, Lemon Arms' call is "Incredible Ryo~ma!"

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Countless people die and are betrayed, genocide is suggested (and inflicted), and the very worst of humanity is put onto display and yet Kouta's Idealism is not only what ultimately saves the day, but even suggested by Rosyuo as the very thing that could have prevented the disaster that ended the Femushinmu Overall, the series flips flops back and forth on the scale. The series starts and ends idealistic but the middle bit gets more and more cynical until it almost seems hopeless at times..

Not only does her attempt not work, but it causes early-series Sagara to know exactly who she will become down the line and who the final few people to be contenders for the Forbidden Fruit will end up being, thus explaining why he spent so much of the series focusing on Kouta.

Crapsaccharine World -> Crapsack World: Zawame City in a nutshell. At first glance it looks like any other Heisei season with its bright colors, dance teams, quirky characters, and silly fruit gimmicks. But dig a little deeper and you'll find that Zawame City is a horrible place to live. Yggdrasill controls the city like a totalitarian police state, the people are at constant risk of being attacked by endless hordes of monsters, an uncontrollable plague is infecting the citizens, all of the antagonists are hyper-competent killers who avoid the typical Toku Villain Ball cliches. And then the Cosmic Horror Story comes into play, making everything, far, far worse.

Humans Are Bastards: Takatora states that this is Yggdrasill's reason for covering up the threat of Helheim: when faced with impending doom, humanity would panic and turn on each other. Any weapons developed to fight the Inves would be taken and turned on human enemies as well - and as if to prove his point, the other three New Generation Riders are plotting to use their power for themselves. Rosyuo also believes this, but like Takatora, he doesn't really have any outright hatred for people and is willing to give the human race a chance to prove itself.

#20. The truth is revealed: Helheim actually invaded a civilization long ago and absorbed it into their own forest, turning the humans into Inves, with Earth turning into another Helheim within ten years. In addition, Sid, Ryoma, and Yoko are planning to use Helheim for their own needs and ask Kaito to join them. Not only that, we learn that, despite the Beat Riders swearing off using Inves, the citizens of Zawame still rely on their mob mentality and Oren's word. Worse still, Kouta and Kaito both react to this with disturbing results.

Bittersweet Ending: Kouta gains the power of the Forbidden Fruit, and uses the power to send all of Helheim and the Inves to a dying planet, with him and Mai leaving Earth. The world is healing, but many people died, Kaito died in the climatic battle, and Sagara just moves on to another planet to start the process again.. Also, Takatora is alive. However, the finale manages to sweeten it up just a little. Mitsuzane completes his Heel–Face Turn by fighting a threat that no one had the power to face. Kouta manages to show that he can pop by Earth every now and then, giving Micchy his closure. Jonouchi also receives his closure as to what happened regarding Hase, and while it ends badly for him, he lives to tell the tale. Kaito's childhood tree is brought back, with him serving as its spirit. On the bitter side, the fallout of Project Arc's revelation and Helheim's invasion is still a prevalent threat and Takatora liquidated all the Mass-Produced Sengoku Drivers with no way of creating Lockseeds, leaving Micchy as the only person to actually fight any new threat. However, in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle his brother acquires both a Sengoku Driver and a Genesis Driver, so Micchy is no longer the only person left to defend the world against a supernatural threat. Later, the Knuckle Gaiden and novel give Zack, Oren and Jonouchi their Drivers back, and Zack even gets an upgrade with access to Jimber Marron Arms.

Spoiler Title
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_41be2c1b
comment
Spoiler Title: Subverted in a Meta Twist fashion. #18's title is "Farewell, Beat Riders". You can be forgiven for thinking this refers to the Beat Riders disbanding, as a major plot point that developed in the Yggdrasill Saga was that they were getting lots of flak. However, the Beat Riders actually start turning things around; the title instead refers to Kaito leaving the Beat Riders, so it's in a way him saying "Farewell, Beat Riders". It could also be the show saying goodbye to the Beat Rider storyline as it moves its focus to the Inves conflict.

Establishing Series Moment: The first five episodes of the show having Kouta discovering the belt and figuring out what to do with it, along with friends calling him out on toying around and one Kamen Rider nearly murdering him before he finally realizes what he should do with the belt shows the jagged pathway that Gen Urobuchi has laid down before us.

Story Arc

Story Arc: Whereas previous Kamen Riders focused on two-episode story arcs, Gaim is split into seasons, which Toei calls "Sagas". In order: #1-11: The Beat Riders Saga, which represents a time of childhood and introduces all the Sengoku Driver-using Riders. #12-23: The Yggdrasill Saga, a story of adulthood which introduces the Energy Lockseeds. #24-32: The Helheim Saga, an arc that builds the story up towards its climax, with the stakes getting even higher than before, as the Riders must contend with the Overlord Inves, masters of the Forest. #33-43: The Overlord Saga, where the Overlords order an all-out invasion of Earth. The previously scattered and conflicting Riders must band together to prevent the extinction of humanity. #44-47: The Forbidden Fruit Saga, where both Kouta and Kaito goes on a final showdown with the sole victor will become the one who holds the Forbbidden Fruit.

Power-Up Food: The Lockseeds. Maybe not for the Riders since they don't eat the Seeds or the fruit-Arms they summon, but certainly for the Inves. We later see that the Helheim fruit has a similar effect on humans. In the series endgame Kaito takes advantage of this.

 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_4508b16b
comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Yggdrasill is pretty much hyper-competent about everything except with their security detail. The guards forget to watch the cameras, the executives never turn off or log out of computers with sensitive information, and the Kurokage Troopers spectacularly fail during critical moments: Not only can they be tricked by simply making a sharp turn; they manage to let three targets escape while not landing a single hit with their cannons. And let's not get started on how a 16-year-old flying a Dandeliner for the first time does a better job than the mooks specifically trained for it...

Played with when it comes to The Great Soccer Match! The Golden Fruit Cup!, which seems to be in an Alternate Continuity that main series Kaito goes to in #37. The movie itself is revealed to take place in the same universe as the series, albeit altered by one of the movie-exclusive characters before being restored to normal. The film doesn't have any real effect on canon, though...until the movie's villain appears in the main continuity in the final episode. The movie is also written by the author of Demonbane

comment
Hideyasu Jonouchi is arguably a deconstruction of the bespectacled, intelligent villain archetype often seen in anime/Japanese media. When he first appears he is built up as a threat, as he is considered by rival groups to be dangerous for his intelligence and dirty tactics. Once he becomes Gridon however, it becomes clear that while he may be smart, he doesn't know how to fight at all and is easily defeated, becoming more of a Butt-Monkey than a serious villain. Once he betrays Hase, he says he'll search for someone else to manipulate, suggesting that his character may take a darker turn, though even that is turned to comic relief once he tries (and fails) to manipulate Oren Pierre Alfonzo.

Dueling Messiahs: Kouta Kazuraba versus Kaito Kumon. Kaito is a ruthless Social Darwinist Dark Messiah who wants to let the world be destroyed and start again with 'a form of life that will not seek power to oppress'. Kouta argues that the current world is capable of becoming that, citing those who fought beside them against the world-ending threat as examples that power does not result in a loss of compassion.

He's also a deconstruction of the Big Good. In other stories, a powerful and moral figure like Takatora would be the beacon of hope, sanity, and understanding. Unfortunately, he's surrounded by evil, selfish schemers who try to keep him as much in the dark as possible, so he ends up convinced that he must take horrible actions to ensure humanity's overall survival, even if it means sacrificing six billion people.

Advertised Extra: With the press that Gridon got in the beginning, being the unofficial fifth member of the show's cast and his identity kept a secret until his debut, most people were convinced that Gridon would be a major player. As it turns out, he only appeared in a third of the episodes and only became a main character during the last quarter of the show. This is because the Gridon suit was one of the first suits to be finished before filming began.

Wham Shot: #14: Yuya in the Helheim Forest, eating the Helheim Fruit that would make him the Byakko Inves. In #20, Kouta and the audience are shown the sight that horrified Micchy back in #16. It was the ruins of a city that had been conquered by the Inves, thus revealing that Helheim is an entire WORLD that the Inves had conquered. And Earth is next. #23 has a small wham shot in the form of Sagara and the Helheim girl standing on the same roof witnessing Gaim's Kachidoki Arms debut, and then right after, the two engage in a conversation, establishing some sort of relationship between the two. Earlier in the episode, there's also Sagara creating a Lockseed. #36 has another. Kaito gets a cut from Redyue, and it's clear that he's been infected by the Helheim virus that the Inves spread, albeit even worse. #40: Helheim vines spread out of Kouta, completing his transformation into an Overlord. #41: This episode is full of them. For example, Kouta's Overlord powers of teleportation and his summoning of Helheim vines. Kouta and Mai's red eyes, showing that they are no longer fully human. #43: Kouta throwing away the Musou Saber at the last moment, followed by Micchy stabbing Kouta THROUGH KIWAMI'S ARMOR IN THE STOMACH!

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: #5. Gaim Ichigo Arms and his whole throwing knife gimmick is what turns the tide, despite Ryugen already having a gun. Bravo's swords do this very well; when thrown, they spin in mid-air and fling spikes in all directions. Ryugen's Kiwi Gekirin are an odd example; they're wind-and-fire wheels, a type of round sword from China, which means they bear a strong resemblance to chakrams (which actually are throwing weapons).

White-and-Grey Morality
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_58962105
comment
White-and-Grey Morality: While there are plenty of outright evil characters there are just as many who just have differing ideals and even come to agree with the heroes under the right circumstances. In any event, The Hero Kouta Kazuraba is always the "White" because he's an idealist and the Hope Bringer. Takatora Kureshima (Armored Rider Zangetsu) comes off as villainous at first (not in the least because he's the head of the MegaCorp that dominates Zawame City), but eventually it's revealed that he's doing his best to save humanity from an oncoming disaster. Unfortunately it looks like he can only save one billion people at best, so he's prepared for that outcome but is far from happy about it. When Kouta discovers a potential way to save everyone, Takatora gladly joins forces with him on the spot. Too bad he almost immediately gets backstabbed by his inner circle... Rosyuo, leader of the Overlords, is the king of the dead civilization that was the last subject of Helheim Forest's "test". He's not villainous at all, just heartbroken over the loss of his people and especially his beloved queen, and does nothing to rein in the other Overlords who run rampant over Earth. Rosyuo holds onto the Golden Fruit in order to bring his queen back, but when DJ Sagara calls him out on not giving humanity a fair chance he actually listens. When he dies, he's reunited with his wife and wishes for humanity to succeed where he failed. Mitsuzane Kureshima starts off the series as Kouta's friend and the two are practically brothers; however, Micchy goes off the deep end over his crush on Mai, and decides that he has to kill Kouta. A lot of this is the result of him being manipulated and used by more villainous characters, and even after Kouta finds out he remains convinced that Micchy is a good person deep down and can be redeemed. After Kouta gives his life (he gets better) to save Micchy from a Deadly Upgrade, it starts his path to redemption, which is completed in the show's final episode. Even the final conflict of the series comes down to Kouta fighting his rival and on-and-off ally Kaito Kumon, Armored Rider Baron. Despite them having essentially the same goal, their methods of achieving that goal are completely incompatible: they both want to change the world for the better, but Kaito wants to tear it all down and start over while Kouta thinks the world can be changed without having to go that far.

Takatora is unaware that his brother is in the Rider Games. The thing is, he was offered to see who was a Rider, but refused, furthering the irony. It gets exaggerated as the DJ is also in on Yggdrasill's plot, but doesn't seem to bother telling Takatora anything. The secret is all but out in #15 as Takatora is treated to the sight of his brother transforming into Ryugen.

Heel–Face Turn
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_617f0563
comment
However, the finale manages to sweeten it up just a little. Mitsuzane completes his Heel–Face Turn by fighting a threat that no one had the power to face. Kouta manages to show that he can pop by Earth every now and then, giving Micchy his closure. Jonouchi also receives his closure as to what happened regarding Hase, and while it ends badly for him, he lives to tell the tale. Kaito's childhood tree is brought back, with him serving as its spirit. On the bitter side, the fallout of Project Arc's revelation and Helheim's invasion is still a prevalent threat and Takatora liquidated all the Mass-Produced Sengoku Drivers with no way of creating Lockseeds, leaving Micchy as the only person to actually fight any new threat. However, in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle his brother acquires both a Sengoku Driver and a Genesis Driver, so Micchy is no longer the only person left to defend the world against a supernatural threat. Later, the Knuckle Gaiden and novel give Zack, Oren and Jonouchi their Drivers back, and Zack even gets an upgrade with access to Jimber Marron Arms.

 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_61b8f9e2
comment
The show also deconstructs aspects of the Bunny-Ears Lawyer, namely the tendency to do things as one pleases as long as the job gets done. Ryoma helps develop the technology that all of the Riders use, but he is ultimately more concerned about his own schemes and ambitions and betrays Takatora when he decides that Takatora has become a liability. Oren's refusal to listen to others he didn't like for whatever petty reason keeps him from learning the truth about everything that's going on and prevents him from being an effective power for the good side until much later on in the series.

Freeze-Frame Bonus
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_62f9d08e
comment
Freeze-Frame Bonus: During the first scene of #1, you can briefly see Kamen Rider Gridon with Baron's faction. #2 gives us an unknown individual handling a Lockseed in the opening. This is significant because it appears to be the Matsubokkuri Lockseed and said individual is wearing a Sengoku Driver. Another one in the opening that combines with Couch Gag - before the chorus hits on the theme song and after Baron in the Rose Attacker zips by, there's 3 random Sengoku Drivers activating. Those 3? Whichever 3 Armored Riders are in the main battle of the episode. #27 gives us one that combines Mythology Gag with a dash of Fridge Horror. Note the Driver prototypes from #20-#25◊. If you're having trouble reading them, they read that the belts use Rings, Switches, Medals, USB Memorys, Cards, and Fuestles. This is either just an Easter Egg, or else we need to REALLY begin questioning just WHO is backing Yggdrasill's research.

Grievous Harm with a Body: On at least two occasions, Bravo uses Gridon as an improvised weapon. In #34, Gridon activates Suika Arms, but is stuck in Odama Mode, leading to Bravo picking him up and using him as a live bludgeon against a pack of Inves. In #41, Bravo activates Gridon's Sparking function (making his Donguri Armor Part revert to nut form and then spinning), and throwing him at Mitsuzane as Zangetsu Shin, allowing them to escape.

Final Exam Finale: Played for Laughs in the Hyper Battle DVD. Kouta must become "fresh" to restore the rusted Orange Lockseed and once he does, the three other main Riders challenge him to mock battles to test out their own new Lockseeds. Kouta manages to defeat all of them with the "fresh" skills he used earlier: he dodges Ryugen Pine Arms' Epic Flail with his Fashion Show walk, beats Zangetsu Mango Arms by acting like he's cleaning house (complete with a broom-sweeping Finishing Move), and defeats Baron Kiwi Arms using the cooking techniques Kaito showed him earlier.

Family-Unfriendly Violence: Kouta doesn't get out of his first encounter with a monster anywhere near as safely as other Riders. Before he transforms the Inves roughs him up something fierce, tossing him through a steel fence; you can see blood coming from his mouth afterward. There's also Zangetsu's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown of him in #4. Sid being crushed to death between two walls in #31. Redyue stabbing Rosyuo repeatedly in #41.

Drunk with Power
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_64b303c0
comment
Drunk with Power: Looking at the use/abuse of power and possible corruption from it is a major theme of the series. Even Kouta gets a little buzzed on a power high in the early episodes. The end of #16 is a good example, as Kouta's depressed from seeing other Beat Riders turn into both figurative and literal monsters from pursuing power as well as Yggdrasill's own questionable use of its own power; and he discusses with Bando whether power corrupts. It becomes more complicated as the series goes on than a simple 'power corrupts' moral. Takatora and Kouta, while they do seek power, seek it to protect the innocent, and in general seem to be okay people (and ultimately two of the strongest Riders in the series), while those who seek power for the sake of power or achieving Godhood (such as Sid, Ryoma, and the majority of the Overlords) are among the biggest monsters in the series. It seems the theme is less 'power corrupts' and more 'those who seek power for its own sake are ultimately unworthy of it.'

Forgot About His Powers: As time goes on, characters begin to forget about lockseeds they have. #36 and #37 sees Kouta racing across town on foot, untransformed, in order to stop a battle between Mitsuzane and Takatora. All nice and dramatic... except that he seems to have forgotten that he has access to a motorcycle, a hovercycle, and a form that gives him Super-Speed, purely because the writer doesn't want him to get there on time.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: The teamup and movie tie-in episodes. In the other, more episodic series, they might not seem so out of place and definitely wouldn't be unwelcome, but Gaim is a tightly plotted serial where every episode leads directly into the next, more like a book where you get another chapter every week. As such, it's pretty bizarre when an episode, instead of having any connection with where the previous episode left off, starts with the ToQgers' train dropping by a dancing session that gets crashed by the villains from Kamen Rider ZX, or with Another Dimension where dead past characters are back and everyone's... playing soccer? The Kikaider teamup was at least foreshadowed by Jiro dropping into town...but the crossover was still a Whole Episode Flashback.

Everything's Better with Samurai: The major theme of the series, given its Jidaigeki roots, though the Riders' designs are taken from all kinds of warriors including samurai (Gaim and Zangetsu, plus Kurokage as a footsoldier), knights (Baron, Duke, and Knuckle as squire), Eastern warriors (Ryugen is Chinese and Marika is Arabian), Roman gladiators (Bravo), and Vikings (Sigurd, and Gridon as a footsoldier version).

The Victim Must Be Confused: Mitsuzane slowly undergoes Sanity Slippage and starts to see Kouta as a idiot who will doom the world with his bumbling instead of a selfless hero. This is because Kouta acts contrary to Mitsuzane's plans and wind up saving the day because of it, becoming resentful of the praise it earns him. When their mutual friend Mai tries to defend Kouta's actions, Mitsuzane ignores her argument and dismisses her as "confused", and starts threatening more of their friends to make her come with him.

Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Kouta urges the ToQger kids not to get involved in the conflict with the Inves, as he claims its not their fight. Likewise, Ticket advises the kids not to aid the Kamen Riders, as Zawame doesn't actually contain any Shadows for them to fight. This doesn't stop them, however. Their involvement is kept to one teamup due to the premise of ToQger: the train travels all over, and they're off to their next stop after lending a hand in Zawame.

You Can't Fight Fate: In the first episode, giving viewers a glimpse of what was to come between Kouta and Kaito, the narrator says something along the lines of being unable to change your fate. What the heroes can do, however, is change the fate of the world. In #43, Mai uses the power of the Golden Fruit to try and prevent all of this from happening by going back in time and warning Kouta, Kaito, and Micchy not to use the Sengoku Drivers. However, because (as Sagara tells her afterwards) the Golden Fruit's power is hard to control, instead of her intended warnings she just delivers the Vagueness Is Coming speeches we saw earlier in the show. Kouta and Kaito have been decided by fate to be the final competitors for the Golden Fruit. #45 also shows that Kouta is the fated winner.

Additionally, we get the full version of her conversation with Sagara in #23 while Kouta was using Kachidoki Arms to wreck Yggdrasill Tower.

#20 reveals that Takatora and the rest of Yggdrasill know about the impending doom of Earth. The justification subverts the usual expectation that they'd be unable to convince anyone of their story; instead, they think that telling the people about it would just cause mass hysteria.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Kaito getting a Genesis Driver happened entirely due to his runaway popularity; it wasn't part of the original plan for the series. Part of the reason The Reveal ended up being so surprising is because, due to this change, Toei didn't have any early photos to send to fan magazines like Hobby Japan.

The War Sequence

The War Sequence: #1 opens up with Baron and Gaim's forces charging at each other while Zangetsu and Ryugen watch on. It's topped by the actual war in #45, which shows Kouta and Kaito brawling all throughout the ruins of Zawame as their respective armies of Inves clash all across the city.

Obviously Evil
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_7c0bfb83
comment
Obviously Evil: Ryugen Yomi. Instead of the usual zipper effect, the armor descends from a portal made of ominous clouds, with red lightning popping around it. When it attaches, it looks like red and black flames rise from the user instead of the normal energy and fruit juice effects that all the other Riders and forms get. The voice of the Driver is much deeper. Not to mention it's named after the fruit of the underworld, and the transformation announcement is chanting the name of the land of the dead. As one sub group renders it: Hell Fruit Arms! Realm of the Dead! Hell! Hell! Hell! It's repeated, just in case you didn't get the message the first time. And that's just the Transformation Sequence; once it's fully formed, it looks like a fusion of Ryugen's two main forms, except for the repaint: it's Red and Black and Evil All Over. Reeeeeeeal subtle, Professor Ryoma. (Of course, it is a hundred percent in character for him to go out of his way to make a crazy powerful but dangerous suit that could kill the user look and sound Obviously Evil just for funsies.)

Villain World: Helheim is essentially Rosyuo's. When the forest arrived in his world, he got the Forbidden Fruit and used it to create a world based on a Social Darwinist philosophy. He got it. Cut to the present, and not only does his civilization lie in ruins, but only he and his two vassals remain. To say he regrets it is an understatement.

The populace demonize the Mons users as soon as bad things happen to them, which leads into two deconstructions: the first is that, while they have their bark, they lack the bite to back up their protests, meanwhile the Mons user, if they feel sadistic enough, can simply sic a monster at them at any given time. The second is that the demonization causes some Mons-using groups to consider other uses for the Mons, like stealing money, leading to a Then Let Me Be Evil moment.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: It was Kouta who summoned the monster for #2, but it only got loose due to Kaito's team cheating. Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: And it was because of said cheating that caused Kouta to win the wager by default. Takatora breaking Hase's belt is what caused the latter's downfall and transformation into an Inves.

Establishing Character Moment: The first two episodes each contain a moment where Kouta and Kaito help a child, showing that they're not that different. What does differ is their methods: the kinder-hearted Kouta helps a little boy find his mother and cheers him up by convincing him it's a game, while Kaito shows a Teach a Man to Fish philosophy by telling a boy stuck in a tree to jump down himself, then catches him and congratulates him, saying he has the strength to take care of himself from now on.

Missed the Call: Oren becomes Kamen Rider Bravo after confiscating a Sengoku Driver that was owned by a trio of rowdy teens from team Red Hot, who were making a ruckus in his bakery. The poor kid who had the belt had shelled out a hefty fee to get it, and had it stolen before he ever got the chance to transform. #14 confirms one fans had long suspected: Yuya was Sid's original choice for Team Gaim's Sengoku Driver, but ended up eating a Helheim Fruit and changing into an Inves. His abandoned Driver was the one Kouta and Mai found in #1.

Breather Episode
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_80a247a9
comment
Breather Episode: Some episodes are this. However, one thing that sets them apart from other Breather Episodes is that, for the most part, they don't necessarily mean that the plot comes to a grinding halt, as the plot progresses even with the episode in question being a breather. However, as the story gets more and more action-packed, the breathers appear less and less, to the point where the only way for a breather episode to appear it seems is if it was to downright derail the entire plot just for an episode. #9 was pretty light-hearted and harkened back to the earlier Heisei Rider shows. #12 is this. While there's still some action and rather dark developments, compared to the previous episodes, there's plenty of room to breathe and just feels more like an aftermath episode than anything else. Likewise, #15 isn't as action-packed or wham-filled as #13 and #14 with the exception of Takatora finding out that Mitsuzane is Ryugen. #17 is also pretty tame, as it's A Day in the Limelight episode for Mitsuzane that focuses on one of his traits (Conflicting Loyalty), though it's mostly due to Oren's antics. The crossover special with Ressha Sentai ToQger basically acts as this as well, airing right in the middle of a particularly dramatic arc. #25 focuses on Jonouchi and Oren. By this point, you may realize the breather episodes occur roughly once every other episode. That's mainly because the pacing has it that almost all the other episodes after #9 are either action-packed or downright Wham Episodes. #29 is a Wham Episode that ends on a Cliffhanger. #30 is the Kikaider crossover, and it interrupts the plot with a Whole Episode Flashback. #36 is another Wham Episode. #37 interrupts the plot again in order to have a Prequel to the Non-Serial Movie (though it's less of a breather, and more of the plot being put briefly on hold).

Mon: The Beat Riders resolve conflicts by playing Inves Games, but every few episodes seems to add a new Deconstruction of the concept: Even the little ones can break out of the Inves Game and become a threat to everyone around them if the one who summoned them lets go of their Lockseed. In the first episode, Team Gaim's manager Yuya laments the fact that nowadays people seem to care more about a dance team's win record in the Inves Game than their actual dancing skills. In response to Yuya's comment, Bando points out the upside by saying it gives the kids an alternative to actual violence... but eventually the teams figure out how to "jailbreak" their Lockseeds and fully summon Inves outside of the Inves Game. Some teams quickly start exploiting their new power and escalate from dance crews to street gangs; the rest have to jailbreak their own Lockseeds in order to defend themselves, and the populace doesn't see any distinction between them and the power-abusing teams. Creatures from another dimension are carriers of some disease that humans have no defense for. The populace demonize the Mons users as soon as bad things happen to them, which leads into two deconstructions: the first is that, while they have their bark, they lack the bite to back up their protests, meanwhile the Mons user, if they feel sadistic enough, can simply sic a monster at them at any given time. The second is that the demonization causes some Mons-using groups to consider other uses for the Mons, like stealing money, leading to a Then Let Me Be Evil moment. Some Inves are mutated Earth creatures, including humans. The rest are an alien equivalent.

Super Mode
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_844b6779
comment
Super Mode: For the first and second story arcs, the Suika Arms (a Mini-Mecha much more heavily armed than normal Rider gear) and the Jimber Lemon Arms qualify, respectively. The third arc then introduces Kachidoki Arms, which acts as a more traditional Super Mode. It can later be upgraded into Kiwami Arms, Gaim's true Super Mode, via a new Lockseed. Zangetsu Shin is this to normal Zangetsu, though it's technically created with a completely different transformation device and acts as a permanent upgrade. Baron later gains a Genesis Driver and receives a similar upgrade, while Mitsuzane becomes Zangetsu Shin II. Mitsuzane will eventually gain a new form, Yomotsuheguri Arms, which grants him immense power at the cost of his life force and causes him immense pain.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Okay, in the last Movie Wars, Nitou contracted with Chimera once more. There'll be the need to feed Chimera, but it's okay! He finds Helheim fruits just as delicious and nutritious as the mana of destroyed Phantoms! Good thing it's not like Kamen Rider series only go a year and the Helheim fruits are definitely going to always be around, right? RIGHT? Now that Kouta used the Golden Fruit's power to send the Helheim flora to the new world, by all rights that should spell Nitoh's doom. Chimera did warn him he might regret it... Then again, Kouta establishes that he can still travel back and forth between worlds, and there's no indication that he can't just go get some more fruit for them either. #47: Mitsuzane claims his Budou Lockseed is the last Lockseed left on Earth, once the last Matsubokkuri Lockseed is trashed. We know the Yomotsuheguri Lockseed was destroyed, but no mention is made of the fate of his Kiwi and Suika Lockseeds, or Melon Energy. Or Blood Orange, which he had at the end of the Sengoku Movie War. The Gaim and Drive Movie War shows that he still has Kiwi and Melon Energy, returning the latter to his brother, but Suika and Blood Orange are still no-shows. In Knuckle Gaiden, Oren pulls a Big Damn Heroes and beats up a load of Neo Baron thugs to let Zack get away, then promptly disappears from the story. He's back in the novel though, set later, and even gets re-powered.

Villain with Good Publicity: Yggdrasill encourages the popularity of the Inves Game by distributing Lockseeds, hands out Drivers to kids as part of their shady experiments, and later frames them for the outbreak of the Inves Plague.

Their headquarters is even a tree-shaped tower. Better yet, their headquarters even accommodates a sacred tree which serves as a permanent portal to Helheim Forest. It's explained in #20 that said tree used to stand at the Takatsukasa Shrine, and is believed to have come from Helheim. If you pay close attention, you could actually spot the tags on the Shrine Tree.

Spell My Name with an S
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name With An S: The name of the monsters might be seen as Inves, Invase, Inbess, and so on. Officially, it's "Inves"◊; though "Invase" might be more accurate since the name is derived from "invasive species" (as Ryoma calls the Helheim flora in #20). Is "Lockseed" one or two words? Officially, Lockseed is just one word◊. Mitsuzane's nickname could be spelled as "Micchy", "Micchi", "Mitchy" or "Mitch". Gaim's Mid-Season Upgrade is based on a garment called a jinbaori, but it's been romanized in places as "Jimber" rather than "Jinba". The villain of the summer movie is officially Kamen Rider Mars - which fits him, being the name of a war god - but the alternate reading of "Malus" possibly fits him better as it both reflects his alignment (Latin for "evil") and his theme fruit (it's the name of a genus of apple tree). Similarly, one of the Gaiden Riders' names can be read as "Idunn" or "Eden", which are both mythologically-based and connected to apples.

Deconstruction
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_8ae880f7
comment
Deconstruction: Urobuchi seems to be going for this for Kamen Rider as a whole, not unlike how he deconstructed the Magical Girl genre with Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The series takes several tropes commonly found in the Kamen Rider franchise and plays them in much different ways. A prominent example is in #14, when a villainous Kamen Rider unsympathetically kills a person who has transformed into a monster. He mockingly answers to the shocked and outraged protagonist: Sid makes sure to give out Rider powers to people who are rather amoral. Instead of learning how to use their powers responsibly, they simply become Drunk with Power like how any real teenager would if given superpowers. In addition, the antagonists use the data gathered from their fights to make Rider powers superior to the heroes in every conceivable way. The series also deconstructs Merchandise-Driven shows that treat their subject matter as Serious Business. The characters start off using their Lockseeds and Rider armors for completely petty, high school-level disputes that would not be uncommon in your average Shōnen anime, and the audience is expected to take this 100 percent seriously. Then, as more and more information is revealed about the horrifying nature of Helheim and people start dying, it becomes increasingly clear to the audience that the Beat Rider stuff is child's play in comparison to what is really going on. This is actually acknowledged within the series itself when Kouta and Kaito eventually end up quitting their respective Beat Rider teams in order to focus on the more serious matters at hand. An early example of deconstruction from #4. Kouta loses a fight with Zangetsu, and nearly dies. While normal heroes in these types of shows would vow to defeat Zangetsu, Kouta becomes petrified to the point of not even touching his belt. Kaito himself is arguably a deconstruction of the Second Rider trope. Many of the Second Riders from the franchise start off as The Rival to the hero (Riderman, Accel, Meteor), before undergoing a Heel–Face Turn. Kaito starts off as a vicious rival, then seems like he's going to realize what he's doing is wrong and fight alongside Kouta, only to quickly go right back to his old ways after he finds out whatever is in Helheim will help him on his quest for more power. He does aid the hero on several more occasions, but he remains a very morally ambiguous character. He ultimately becomes the Big Bad of the final arc after gaining Overlord powers, seeking to rule the world with the Forbidden Fruit's powers. Likewise, Mitsuzane is arguably a deconstruction of the Second Riders who are more friendly to their Main Rider (especially Gatack, as the two characters both have a similar family connection with a mysterious corporation). Mitsuzane takes his friendship with Team Gaim seriously, to the point where he feels he has to keep secrets from them or even outright ''lie'' to maintain their happiness and bond. At the same time, he assists Yggdrasill and learns about a dozen awful truths that he keeps away from his friends, all while convinced that his actions are for the best. His overall personality, especially when he gets desperate, shows that just because the Second Rider is friendly doesn't mean he's out-and-out good. As the series progress, Mitsuzane is revealed to be very ruthless and manipulative, and he develops an intense hatred for Kouta. This reaches a breaking point in #26, when he completely turns on his friend. After that, Mitsuzane becomes obsessed with killing Kouta. Hideyasu Jonouchi is arguably a deconstruction of the bespectacled, intelligent villain archetype often seen in anime/Japanese media. When he first appears he is built up as a threat, as he is considered by rival groups to be dangerous for his intelligence and dirty tactics. Once he becomes Gridon however, it becomes clear that while he may be smart, he doesn't know how to fight at all and is easily defeated, becoming more of a Butt-Monkey than a serious villain. Once he betrays Hase, he says he'll search for someone else to manipulate, suggesting that his character may take a darker turn, though even that is turned to comic relief once he tries (and fails) to manipulate Oren Pierre Alfonzo. Takatora is arguably a deconstruction of the Big Bad. For the first part of the series, he's shown to be in charge of the massive organization that controls the city, has a secret agenda that he's determined to carry out, considers the other Armored Riders beneath him, delivers an utter Curb-Stomp Battle and the traditional tossed-into-the-drink scene to Gaim, and is built up to be a major threat as the most powerful character. However, as time goes on, it becomes clear that Takatora isn't as "in control" as he seemed, since all of his underlings have formed an alliance behind his back and are keeping critical information from him. The reason for all this is because they're the greedy, evil ones, and Takatora is actually as noble and idealistic as Kouta, but had to suppress it because the only apparent way to save humanity from Helheim would involve sacrificing billions. When he learns about the existence of the Overlords, Takatora is greatly relieved at the chance to save everybody, and gladly joins forces with Kouta, at which point Ryoma's alliance strikes and apparently kills him (he survives, thankfully). He's also a deconstruction of the Big Good. In other stories, a powerful and moral figure like Takatora would be the beacon of hope, sanity, and understanding. Unfortunately, he's surrounded by evil, selfish schemers who try to keep him as much in the dark as possible, so he ends up convinced that he must take horrible actions to ensure humanity's overall survival, even if it means sacrificing six billion people. Rosyuo himself also deconstructs the Big Bad/ Big Good trope. He was a Big Bad in his former world who regrets his actions. In another story, he would be a prime candidate of The Atoner/ Big Good, except there are still major problems: He is still trying to get his wife back, and will not hesitate to do anything to reclaim her. Also, while he's no longer a Social Darwinist, his regime makes sure that his underlings are, meaning all of them will either be too strong to be controlled effectively, or believe wholeheartedly in Asskicking Leads to Leadership, making them potential backstabbers always looking for an opportunity. This also means that despite his own preferences, if Rosyuo wants to survive he'd have to keep them on a short leash. In short, it was a deconstruction of the Machiavelli Was Wrong concept. Takatora's mistake is that he wasn't pragmatic enough, and he was also too gullible. Machiavelli himself said: "Be cunning like a fox and strong like a lion." The entire series can also be said to be a Deconstruction of the common Kamen Rider theme of The Hero fighting his battles alone, bearing the sins on his back. Almost all the other Riders encountered this in one way or the other (Even Fourze found himself fighting alone at one point), and Kouta is no exception with nearly everyone he can rely on being either dead or too amoral/jerkish to help and his biggest sin being that he killed Yuya. The series goes out of its way to show just how it eats away at him, especially when he's expected to keep secrets, and shows just how alone he is in his war against Helheim. The show also deconstructs aspects of the Bunny-Ears Lawyer, namely the tendency to do things as one pleases as long as the job gets done. Ryoma helps develop the technology that all of the Riders use, but he is ultimately more concerned about his own schemes and ambitions and betrays Takatora when he decides that Takatora has become a liability. Oren's refusal to listen to others he didn't like for whatever petty reason keeps him from learning the truth about everything that's going on and prevents him from being an effective power for the good side until much later on in the series. Next Tier Powerup also gets deconstructed. In many Shōnen series, when you ascend to new levels of power by using whichever methods or sources that happen to be available to you, the consequences are usually minimal or can be shrugged of until the end of series. Here? Well, enjoy your humanity while it lasts. This particular deconstruction has been a reoccurring theme from as far back as Kuuga. Another deconstruction could be how The Helheim Forest, which had been built up as the ultimate villain of the series, ends up showing through it's avatar, DJ Sagara, that the human villains (and the Overlords, especially Redyue) like Sid, Micchy, and Ryoma (not as much with Kaito), are actually worse than it really is to one extent or another. This series also decisively deconstructs the mons concept; see below. There's also a deconstruction of Living Macguffins. Mai is turned into one and the show takes the trope to its logical conclusion, outright saying that Mai's become the Kamen Rider equivalent to Eve. Meanwhile the reactions from both of Kouta's rivals are either desiring Mai as a prize to be won rather than a person or being so devastated that she's become nothing more than an object now that he doesn't bother fighting for her. Only Kouta has no minding towards Mai's status as a Macguffin.

Wham Episode
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Before we start listing them off, there are a lot of shocking developments in this show, to the point where almost every other episode can be see as one. It owes a lot to the pacing, though in order to keep the list as short as possible, stick to the most notable wham episodes. Also keep in mind that the serialized nature of the show means that some Wham events listed may officially start in the episode prior or end in the episode after. Urobuchi, who wasn't kidding about what he said, seriously warned that #14 would put kids off orange juice. He was right. In the last episode, Hase had turned into an Inves, and unlike humans-turned-monsters from other Rider series, he isn't saved: the New Generation Riders debut and Hase is killed by Kamen Rider Sigurd, who is revealed to be Sid. Worse, we find out that the Inves from back in #1 was in fact Team Gaim's missing leader Yuya, meaning that Kouta had unknowingly killed one of his close friends. #20. The truth is revealed: Helheim actually invaded a civilization long ago and absorbed it into their own forest, turning the humans into Inves, with Earth turning into another Helheim within ten years. In addition, Sid, Ryoma, and Yoko are planning to use Helheim for their own needs and ask Kaito to join them. Not only that, we learn that, despite the Beat Riders swearing off using Inves, the citizens of Zawame still rely on their mob mentality and Oren's word. Worse still, Kouta and Kaito both react to this with disturbing results. #26-28 makes good on the Warring States references by coming the closest to the betrayal at Honnouji. After a failed Get A Hold Of Yourself Man by Mai, Mitsuzane goes full Heel and begins trying to kill Kouta. Ryoma, Sid, and Yoko finally turn on Takatora, and they think they might have killed him. With Takatora out of the way, Sid betrays Ryoma and destroys his lab, entering the big crack as it disappears. And finally, Micchy takes Takatora's Driver and attacks Kouta as Zangetsu Shin, ruining Kouta's alliance with Takatora. #31-33 is is a major game-changer: Demushu has invaded the human world, causing Zawame to go into lockdown. Sid picks a fight with Rosyuo and gets killed. While Gaim gets Kiwami Arms, Redyue launches a full-scale invasion, turning Zawame into a war zone cut off from the outside world. Ryoma tops things off by exposing everything Yggdrasill knows to the world, absolutely shattering any semblance of The Masquerade. The early-40s episodes have a series of Whams leading into the endgame: The last Overlords are killed, leaving Helheim to be the humans' problem. Sagara reveals himself to be Helheim itself. The Forbidden Fruit has been entrusted to Mai, and Ryoma dissects her to get it; but instead her spirit becomes the Woman of the Beginning from the start of the show. Ryoma also manipulates Mitsuzane into another attempt to kill Kouta, and he apparently succeeds when Kouta seemingly sacrifices himself to save and forgive Mitsuzane; and the loss of both his friends leaves Micchy a sobbing wreck. Finally, Kaito eats a Helheim fruit and becomes an Overlord, declaring his intention to destroy the world, and starts off with finishing off Ryoma. Oh, and three of the four remaining Genesis Drivers are destroyed. #44 deserves special mention as Kouta is out of action, and our heroes' attempt to stop Kaito leads to betrayal as Zack turns on them, leading to the Sengoku Drivers for Gridon and Bravo being shattered forever.

Rule of Symbolism
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: According to Word of God, locks were chosen as part of the theme to symbolize "Opening a new world" and "Unlocking potential." Christian symbolism also shows up in the series, with a literal Forbidden Fruit and Sagara being "a snake". The series resolution on #46 leans especially heavily on it, with an "Adam and Eve" leaving "Eden" to start a new world. Sagara even tells them to "be fruitful, and multiply"; while noting that as a snake, it's not really his place to say that.

Transformation Sequence: The Kamen Riders put the driver around their waist which forms as a belt around their waist then pull out their Lock Seed and “unlock� it, this opens a portal to Helheim and sends the selected fruit armor to it's user. They put the seed in the slot and pull the “knife� on it to “cut� the seed in half. This activates the power with the armor landing over their head and forming into the Kaman Rider armor on the user's body. The Genesis Drives work the same way, only the belt now has a handle to pull on after the initial start up. This “juices� the seed into a soda that act as the energy for the rider.

Unwitting Instigator of Doom
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_99ddfcec
comment
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The people playing with the Inves, as it's causing dimensional tears that are allowing bigger monsters to get through. Whether of not Yggdrasill Corporation counts for making the Inves arrive in the first place is unknown, although #2 shows Yggdrasill harvesting the Lockseeds. It soon becomes a massive problem once it's discovered that the Inves were carriers of diseases. This later turns out to be a subversion: it's revealed that the cracks to Helheim are opening up regardless of whether or not people summon Inves with the Lockseeds. Yggdrasill got the Beat Riders to start using the Lockseeds in order to set them up as scapegoats to avoid a mass panic. Had it not been for Kouta and Mitsuzane coming up with the Christmas Game, Hase wouldn't have come into clashes with Takatora, wind up with a broken Driver and eventually a desire for power that turns him into an Inves. Yuya's role is small, but he essentially set into motion everything in the show. Him eating the Helheim Fruit caused him to become an Inves and he dropped the Sengoku Driver that Kouta picked up, thus becoming Gaim and sparking the Armored Rider scene and the above Christmas Game. His death by his hands is also what sparks Mitsuzane's fear of Kouta, as well as his concerns of him finding out about it. Ultimately, Mai herself is the cause of most of what happens. After obtaining the power of the Golden Fruit, she tries to travel back in time to save her friends from their grisly fates. But she couldn't be more specific because changing the time stream was too difficult. In fact, her vague words only push Kouta, Kaito and Mitsuzane into continuing to fight. This is also what causes Sagara into seeing which one of the last Riders will remain, which explains why he put so much focus into Kouta in the first place.

Foreshadowing: The opening war scene in #1 is a HUGE foreshadowing of the events of the final arc. In #11, Hase remarks that he's not going to be some mook. The very next episode shows that the Kurokage powerset has been given to Mooks. In #3, Mitsuzane warns Sid that he will become more powerful than his brother once he joins Yggdrasill in the future, and suggests that they become friends while they can. Flash forward to #29: not only has Micchy taken over Takatora's role as the new Zangetsu Shin II, he's assisting Sid in acquiring the Forbidden Fruit due to their mutual hatred towards Kouta, which ends with Sid getting way over his head and Micchy leaving him to die for it. Gaim in Kiwami Arms suddenly gaining the ability to summon multiple floating weapons Gate of Babylon-style. It's not just his abilities that are reaching god-tier. The fact that we don't get to see the other Sengoku Driver-based Riders get the Vagueness Is Coming speech from the woman is enough to be conveyed that Kouta, Kaito, and Mitsuzane have some importance to her.

The New Generation Riders are also balanced between themselves (compared to the others, they're all Lightning Bruisers): Sigurd's supposed to be a Jack of All Stats, but he is more of a Joke Character, Marika's a Fragile Speedster, Duke's a Mighty Glacier, and Zangetsu Shin is still considered a Lightning Bruiser in comparison.

Tempting Apple: All of the Riders are fruit-themed, which the series justifies by drawing on fruit-related mythology such as the World Tree. There's even a literal power-granting Forbidden Fruit that looks like a golden apple; and considering how many people are vying for it, it also serves as an Apple of Discord.

 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_a0cf200f
comment
Digital Piracy Is Evil: After a fashion; in #16, the other Beat Riders learn how to "jailbreak" Lockseeds, which lets them summon fully materialized Inves in the real world, just like the Armored Riders can do. Team Redhot uses this to commit crimes, including sending their Inves to rob a jewelry storenote And Kaito comments that the other teams are doing much the same thing. This even gets the Aesop moment when Sonomura's jailbroken Mango Lockseed shorts out, causing the Inves it summoned to go berserk and beat the crap out of Redhot.

Merchandise-Driven: As with all the recent Kamen Rider shows, Gaim features special Transformation Trinkets based off of his predecessors. However, unlike the others, they actually have a special function: equipping the Armored Rider with "Rider Arms"; we've seen seven sets based on the Heisei Riders from Decade to Gaim himself, plus Ichigo, with an additional Lockseed for Drive. In the first four episodes alone, four unique Kamen Riders have already been introduced. To put that into perspective, Kamen Rider Beast didn't show up until #17 of Kamen Rider Wizard, while Kamen Rider Mage wasn't until #40. Even Ryuki did not have that many Riders introduced in a very short span of time (the fourth appearing Rider in Ryuki, Zolda, appeared in #6; the same episode where Scissors is killed).

comment
Mood Whiplash: Kamen Rider Bravo easily qualifies as a Knight of Cerebus, being the first to curbstomp Baron in #7, until he's finally beaten by Gaim in Suika Arms, and then chooses to blow the joint when he has to tend to his ovens! A strong case of this in #23, where we go from Kouta breaking out of his Heroic BSoD and finding his Heroic Resolve to a gag about the size of Kouta's tab with Drupers to Kouta Storming the Castle and singlehandedly trashing the Scalar system! A more general example is how unassuming the series is at first. It shows very bright-colored Kamen Riders and the ridiculous theme for their trinkets being fruit. But as the story progresses, you realize how much Darker and Edgier it is compared to other Kamen Rider series. Gaim Gaiden: Baron has the chilling revelation that Kaito lost both parents in the most horrific manner a child could witness leading into the title card, with that jaunty Baron belt tune.

Jobber: Any Beat Riders team without a Rider name, apparently. We've seen Team Raid Wild's leader lose to both Baron (no cheating involved this time) and Gaim (with an Armored Rider, but still) in a row. There's even Lampshade Hanging in #3 when Team Invitto's leader plans on swooping in to take Team Raid Wild's win once the dust settles. After Team Invitto lost to Ryugen in his debut fight, the two leaders lampshade this with Invitto's leader stating that they need to be as strong as Kaito... Cue Sid looking to them with a grin and giving them Sengoku Drivers.

Status Quo Is God
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_a6e8221e
comment
Status Quo Is God: A noticeable aversion. For the first time in Kamen Rider history there is no status quo. Not an episode goes by without a new Rider entering the fray, a new form being gained, a dark secret being revealed, or alliances forming or breaking. You can't go an episode without something important happening, and the episodes that usually don't have something important happening is usually a Breather Episode with no real impact to the series and feels removed from the entire plot.

Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: In #23, Yggdrasill Tower has laser beam defenses that let them fly like they're going out of style. Kouta himself never gets hit, though his Dandeliner did get knocked out of commission for a bit. Possibly justified if they're designed for a large-scale assault by an Invase swarm rather than just one target.

Takatora Kureshima (Armored Rider Zangetsu) comes off as villainous at first (not in the least because he's the head of the MegaCorp that dominates Zawame City), but eventually it's revealed that he's doing his best to save humanity from an oncoming disaster. Unfortunately it looks like he can only save one billion people at best, so he's prepared for that outcome but is far from happy about it. When Kouta discovers a potential way to save everyone, Takatora gladly joins forces with him on the spot. Too bad he almost immediately gets backstabbed by his inner circle...

Dramatic Irony
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: Takatora is unaware that his brother is in the Rider Games. The thing is, he was offered to see who was a Rider, but refused, furthering the irony. It gets exaggerated as the DJ is also in on Yggdrasill's plot, but doesn't seem to bother telling Takatora anything. The secret is all but out in #15 as Takatora is treated to the sight of his brother transforming into Ryugen. Takatora is also unaware of his own associates planning to screw him over. It becomes poignant in #20, when Takatora tells Kouta that one human can destroy a hundred noble efforts, it cuts to Sid and Yoko, who talk about the fact that they don't really care for Takatora's efforts. By the time Takatora started seeing Kouta in a positive light in #28, Micchy has already come to resent the latter, to the point of trying to kill him! In #29, Kouta gives a speech on how he never would have gotten as far as he has if he didn't have trust in his friends. He doesn't know that he's saying this to Micchy, who has usurped his brother's role as Zangetsu Shin and is now trying to murder his former best friend out of hatred and jealousy.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_ac4ac8e5
comment
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: On the earlier episodes, episodes that strongly depict the debut of a new rider or form will address the fruit in the name ("Transform! The Orange from the Sky!?" and "Shock! The Rival's Banana Transformation!?") but as the show gets more serious, it drops the innocent naming scheme in favor of a more heavier naming scheme, with most of it depicting a specific plot detail in the episode. ("Yggdrasill's Secret" and "Farewell, Beat Riders"). Case in point, one of the breather episodes after the Knight of Cerebus appeared picked up on the former scheme ("The Peach Rider, Marika, Descends!") while an early episode picks up its later scheme ("The Truth Behind the Christmas Game").

Zangetsu is simple in comparison, having only a Jack of All Stats (Melon Arms) and Lightning Bruiser (Melon Energy Arms) forms. He gets a third in a DVD, Watermelon Arms. The novel also lets him use Suika Arms and Jimber Melon. He also gets a Super Mode in his stage play with his own version of Kachidoki Arms, which appears again in Gridon VS Bravo.

Oh, Crap!: In #21, two crooks using Inves to rob an armored car have this reaction when Zack, Micchy, and Kouta prove to be a lot tougher than they thought. The mysterious girl has this expression in #23, when DJ Sagara tells her he knows who she really is. Takatora gets one after Rosyuo details the final days of his species' society and he realizes that Kouta's altruism is humanity's only hope for survival. Micchy in #29, when his plan to impersonate Zangetsu Shin and attack Kouta provokes Kouta into fighting back. Micchy again in #33, when he sees that Kouta is loading his Kiwami Arms finisher and aiming for him. Not only that, but Oren had also exposed him as an imposter from watching his fighting style.

Face–Heel Turn
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_af3ea0e3
comment
Kaito is fully aware of Micchy's Face–Heel Turn, having witnessed him shoot Kouta in the back in #26; however, he doesn't bother to tell Kouta (though he has been hinting at it) because he's aware this trope will be in effect. In #29, he even tries to suggest to Kouta that there might be a traitor in their midst; when Kouta brushes it off, Kaito leans in towards Micchy (who's shooting him a Death Glare) and whispers "See? He wouldn't believe me even if I told him." Later in the series Yoko Minato, who knows the same thing Kaito does, joins Kouta's group but Kaito advises her against trying to tell him for the same reasons. In #35, Minato outright tells Kouta "Mitsuzane Kureshima has been deceiving you all along", but of course Kouta doesn't buy it, which makes it even more painful at the end of the episode when Micchy completely abandons the charade and tries to kill Kouta.

Selective Obliviousness: After the Inves Plague breaks out the people of Zawame City turn against the Beat Riders while worshiping Bravo as a hero, while conveniently forgetting that Bravo himself was responsible for one of the biggest Inves rampages.

Coming of Age Story: One of the main themes of the show. Some of the older members of the cast don't live up to the mature moral standard expected from adults (Ryoma is more invested in research over lives and Minato follows his lead without question until he abandons her and Yggdrasill, while Sid—who openly proclaims the superiority of adults and the idiocy of children—and Oren are both jerks that tend to bully others that are weaker than them though Oren eventually grows out of this mindset). In contrast, the younger members of the cast start out naive and immature, and while some of them stay that way or develop in other directions, the others begin to realize that they can't stay children forever, and have to take responsibility for their choices if they want to move forward in their lives.

Cool Bike: A Kamen Rider staple; they're called Lock Vehicles, are flower-themed, and have the ability to travel from Earth to Helheim and back. Gaim, Bravo, and Kurokage have Sakura Hurricanes and Baron, Ryugen, and Gridon have Rose Attackers. Kurokage Troopers use flying bikes called Dandeliners, and Chicken Walker attack mechs called Tuliphoppers.

Mind Screw: The series' opening scene, showing Gaim and Baron lead armies against each other while Zangetsu, Ryugen, their army, and the mysterious girl look on. Is it a future event, or something that happened in the past with other people in the armor? Is it metaphorical or literal? It reappears in #44, where it's explained as something that could have happened but didn't.

In short, it was a deconstruction of the Machiavelli Was Wrong concept. Takatora's mistake is that he wasn't pragmatic enough, and he was also too gullible. Machiavelli himself said: "Be cunning like a fox and strong like a lion."

Irony
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_c335b9ec
comment
Irony: Becomes deeply ironic in #31. Sid, a person who considers himself a 'responsible adult' and always berates kids, saying that adults should rule over them, is the one who gets enticed by the forbidden fruit Redyue offers and gets killed, all while screaming about how he should get the Forbidden Fruit like a spoiled child. On the other hand, Mitsuzane, a part of the Beat Rider teams, is the one who instantly realizes Redyue is setting up a trap. Even worse, when things go south they're able to put the blame on the "idiot kids" while they themselves look like benevolent authority figures. Micchy even thinks they set that up on purpose, too. After he shows up, Demushu quickly becomes Kaito's Arch-Enemy, in large part due to Kaito was the first person to actually wound him. Much later in the series when Kaito becomes an Overlord himself, his new weapon is Demushu's sword.

Informed Attribute: Thanks to the Inves game taking priority over dance battles, Team Gaim and Baron are the only Beat Rider crews that actually do any dancing. This one's been lampshaded in-universe, but ultimately gets subverted. Something about the unripe Lockseeds is making them hypnotically appetizing. It's certainly not the smell, since it's able to affect people over ten feet away, and appearance-wise it looks more like an uprooted beet.

Rosyuo, leader of the Overlords, is the king of the dead civilization that was the last subject of Helheim Forest's "test". He's not villainous at all, just heartbroken over the loss of his people and especially his beloved queen, and does nothing to rein in the other Overlords who run rampant over Earth. Rosyuo holds onto the Golden Fruit in order to bring his queen back, but when DJ Sagara calls him out on not giving humanity a fair chance he actually listens. When he dies, he's reunited with his wife and wishes for humanity to succeed where he failed.

Bystander Syndrome: With the exception of Kouta and Mitsuzane (early on), all of the other Armored Riders suffer from this caring more about their own goals, ambitions, and egos ignoring the threat Yggdrasill and Helheim pose. It takes a Batman Gambit to get them all off of their asses to do something. By #12 this extends to Micchy of all people. Since using the Sengoku Drivers means providing data for Yggdrasill's experiments, Micchy chooses to merely watch on as innocent people get attacked by Inves.

#26-28 makes good on the Warring States references by coming the closest to the betrayal at Honnouji. After a failed Get A Hold Of Yourself Man by Mai, Mitsuzane goes full Heel and begins trying to kill Kouta. Ryoma, Sid, and Yoko finally turn on Takatora, and they think they might have killed him. With Takatora out of the way, Sid betrays Ryoma and destroys his lab, entering the big crack as it disappears. And finally, Micchy takes Takatora's Driver and attacks Kouta as Zangetsu Shin, ruining Kouta's alliance with Takatora.

Antagonist Title: Downplayed. The arc titles (Beat Riders Saga, Yggdrasill Saga, Helheim Saga, Overlord Saga) are named after the antagonist for that arc, but they're All There in the Manual, and even then, Yggdrasil is the major antagonist for the Helheim Saga. Averted with the Forbidden Fruit Saga, unless you count its final villain, Kohgane, as the antagonist over its main villains Redyue and Kaito.

There's also a deconstruction of Living Macguffins. Mai is turned into one and the show takes the trope to its logical conclusion, outright saying that Mai's become the Kamen Rider equivalent to Eve. Meanwhile the reactions from both of Kouta's rivals are either desiring Mai as a prize to be won rather than a person or being so devastated that she's become nothing more than an object now that he doesn't bother fighting for her. Only Kouta has no minding towards Mai's status as a Macguffin.

Cassandra Truth: In #8, when Takatora ponders who could have stolen the Suika Lockseed from him, Sid remarks "Maybe it was your brother?" and gets a dirty glare in response. Because it's this trope, of course Sid's correct, but he doesn't 100% know it until he confronts Mitsuzane later; he's just making an educated guess because, unlike Takatora, he's fully aware that Micchy is Armored Rider Ryugen. Though Sid seems rather enthralled with Takatora not believing him as opposed to the usual reaction. #20 reveals that Takatora and the rest of Yggdrasill know about the impending doom of Earth. The justification subverts the usual expectation that they'd be unable to convince anyone of their story; instead, they think that telling the people about it would just cause mass hysteria. Kaito is fully aware of Micchy's Face–Heel Turn, having witnessed him shoot Kouta in the back in #26; however, he doesn't bother to tell Kouta (though he has been hinting at it) because he's aware this trope will be in effect. In #29, he even tries to suggest to Kouta that there might be a traitor in their midst; when Kouta brushes it off, Kaito leans in towards Micchy (who's shooting him a Death Glare) and whispers "See? He wouldn't believe me even if I told him." Later in the series Yoko Minato, who knows the same thing Kaito does, joins Kouta's group but Kaito advises her against trying to tell him for the same reasons. In #35, Minato outright tells Kouta "Mitsuzane Kureshima has been deceiving you all along", but of course Kouta doesn't buy it, which makes it even more painful at the end of the episode when Micchy completely abandons the charade and tries to kill Kouta.

Cerebus Syndrome
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_cfdb9e17
comment
Cerebus Syndrome: With Gen Urobuchi at the helm we knew it was coming. The stakes get higher around episode ten-ish, but it's really cemented in #13-14, when we see three things: 1) Those attacked by Inves aren't out of the woods yet, literally: they develop an illness where plants of Helheim grow from their bodies and no one can do anything about it. This also turns the public against the Riders for their connection to the Inves. 2) The Elementary Inves are Earth animals who've eaten Helheim's fruits, and the very first Monster of the Week Inves was Yuya mutated by eating one, and Kouta's first act as Gaim was to unknowingly kill his friend whom he's been searching for ever since. 3) Hase's attempt to regain his powers by eating a Helheim fruit ends in his becoming a mindless monster, and Lock Dealer Sid debuts as Armored Rider Sigurd and kills Hase. And in light of all that, yes, that does also mean the maintenance worker we saw about to eat a fruit probably became the MOTW from #9 that the Riders took out. In fact, it's impossible to know how many Inves have been innocent humans; if we didn't witness the transformation from an Elementary Inves, it's a possibility. #20 takes this further by confirming that the Inves that aren't human are the former residents of the last world Helheim took over.

Mundane Made Awesome: When Gaim's orange arms become "Fresh", he assumes that he's even more powerful. Assumes.

No. Really.

Christian symbolism also shows up in the series, with a literal Forbidden Fruit and Sagara being "a snake". The series resolution on #46 leans especially heavily on it, with an "Adam and Eve" leaving "Eden" to start a new world. Sagara even tells them to "be fruitful, and multiply"; while noting that as a snake, it's not really his place to say that.

Comes Great Responsibility: Kouta learns this in #4; the only other Rider to even remotely learn this lesson is Takatora, who in #26 even names a formal term for it, noblesse oblige. Defied in #8; Kouta tries to ask the other Armored Riders for help tracking down the Inves that's attacking people all over the city. Kaito outright refuses, saying that all the lower-ranked teams care about is dethroning Gaim, and correctly predicts that Invitto and Raid Wild will say the same thing.

You Can't Go Home Again: Kouta. His experiences as a Beat Rider and his responsibilities fighting the Inves, as well as his part-time jobs, lead him to make the decision to drop out of his dancing team. Additionaly, by the end of the series he has been turned into an Inves himself from prolonged use of his Lockseeds, and realizes he cannot stay with his sister no matter what happens in the final battle.

Kaito himself is arguably a deconstruction of the Second Rider trope. Many of the Second Riders from the franchise start off as The Rival to the hero (Riderman, Accel, Meteor), before undergoing a Heel–Face Turn. Kaito starts off as a vicious rival, then seems like he's going to realize what he's doing is wrong and fight alongside Kouta, only to quickly go right back to his old ways after he finds out whatever is in Helheim will help him on his quest for more power. He does aid the hero on several more occasions, but he remains a very morally ambiguous character. He ultimately becomes the Big Bad of the final arc after gaining Overlord powers, seeking to rule the world with the Forbidden Fruit's powers.

The New Generation Riders are also balanced between themselves (compared to the others, they're all Lightning Bruisers): Sigurd's supposed to be a Jack of All Stats, but he is more of a Joke Character, Marika's a Fragile Speedster, Duke's a Mighty Glacier, and Zangetsu Shin is still considered a Lightning Bruiser in comparison.

comment
Red Herring: During the Spring Gattai Special, Mai brings up the Charmant restaurant to Mio and Kagura, setting up a possible appearance by Oren Pierre Alfonso... which never happened. When Sagara is meeting up with the Overlords, him saying "don't let your guard down" among the Overlord's Cypher Language might have indicated that he was warning them of Kouta. However, translations show that he was actually quoting something he learned during his time in a human guise. You might think that Yomotsuheguri would be the downfall for Mitsuzane and that he'd die from it, leading into Kouta's Cooldown Hug to him as he dies... But the knife twists it as it shows Kouta being the one seemingly dying and that he breaks it before it actually causes permanent damage to Micchy. Then again, this isn't the first time the main Rider is "killed" off and then comes back to life in the next episode (or two).

The scene where Kouta interacts with DJ Sagara almost plays beat for beat with Mitsuzane's chat with Sid. Both of them showcase their strongest point (Kouta's desire to save people and Mitsuzane's manipulation to get what he wants), and both Sagara and Sid applaud their points and "leave behind" a Transformation Trinket. It's almost like looking into a mirror...

The Scapegoat: The secondary purpose of the Inves Game and Beat Riders is so Yggdrasill can have convenient fall guys while they work in the shadows. After Micchy assumes the role of Zangetsu Shin II, he keeps silent when he fights Kouta in order to trick him into thinking that Takatora is the one trying to murder him.

Decon-Recon Switch: While the series deconstructed both Sid unsympathetically killing a human turned monster while praising himself as a hero and the friendly Second Rider trope; comes the epilogue. Micchy battles against Kohgane in order to atone for everything he has done that made him lose everything. When Kohgane told Micchy if he kills him, he'll kill the girl he is possessing. Instead of killing him and the girl like Sid did to Hase before, Micchy ceases his transformation to show that he really did change for the better and he is not heartless because Kamen Riders protect the innocent. It was even acknowledged by Kouta who came back to Earth to help Micchy defeat Kohgane once and for all like two Riders teaming up would. It shows that Micchy may have hit rock bottom before, but he is not beyond redemption especially in Kouta and Takatora's eyes.

Steamrolled Smart Guy: Mitsuzane is the team tactician and usually comes up with plans for whatever he and his friends are facing. However, while his friends do respect him and his skills, his plans tend to be coldly pragmatic; and in the heat of the moment they tend to abandon the strategy in order to step in and help people right now.

Not Quite Dead
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_e431c24c
comment
The early-40s episodes have a series of Whams leading into the endgame: The last Overlords are killed, leaving Helheim to be the humans' problem. Sagara reveals himself to be Helheim itself. The Forbidden Fruit has been entrusted to Mai, and Ryoma dissects her to get it; but instead her spirit becomes the Woman of the Beginning from the start of the show. Ryoma also manipulates Mitsuzane into another attempt to kill Kouta, and he apparently succeeds when Kouta seemingly sacrifices himself to save and forgive Mitsuzane; and the loss of both his friends leaves Micchy a sobbing wreck. Finally, Kaito eats a Helheim fruit and becomes an Overlord, declaring his intention to destroy the world, and starts off with finishing off Ryoma. Oh, and three of the four remaining Genesis Drivers are destroyed. #44 deserves special mention as Kouta is out of action, and our heroes' attempt to stop Kaito leads to betrayal as Zack turns on them, leading to the Sengoku Drivers for Gridon and Bravo being shattered forever.

The Hero
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_e49686
comment
The entire series can also be said to be a Deconstruction of the common Kamen Rider theme of The Hero fighting his battles alone, bearing the sins on his back. Almost all the other Riders encountered this in one way or the other (Even Fourze found himself fighting alone at one point), and Kouta is no exception with nearly everyone he can rely on being either dead or too amoral/jerkish to help and his biggest sin being that he killed Yuya. The series goes out of its way to show just how it eats away at him, especially when he's expected to keep secrets, and shows just how alone he is in his war against Helheim.

Reconstruction
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_e50987a9
comment
Reconstruction: Of Poor Communication Kills induced Conflict Balls. As you might notice above, this trope commonly seen in early Hesei-era Kamen Rider shows gets averted more times than it actually gets played straight. For an example, Takatora manages to tell Kouta his reason for fighting and Kouta accepts it and understands Yggdrasill, even if the reason's a little shocking... cue Sid dropping by to tell Kouta about Yggdrasill's Scalar Weapons system, effectively resetting the conflict with Yggdrasill with a pretty clear reason why the trope exists in universe: almost everyone has ulterior motives. And also of the Monster of the Fortnight-style story that to some became a Discredited Trope. While the problem is averted for a majority of the story, it occasionally tackled this in new perspectives (one of which being that we got to see someone turn into a Inves), and it's only by the end does this trope come back in full force, though in short bursts. The Inves (Or better to say, Overlords) that are connected to the story as antagonists working under a bigger threat instead of bringing with them a full-on plot that derails the story like most other Kamen Riders.

There Can Be Only One: The entire conflict in Gaim is also seen as one, with this trope being invoked time and time again as the number of capable Riders dwindle until Kouta and Kaito are the two contenders who were worthy enough to claim the Golden Fruit as they fight to the death. Unlike Ryuki though, the defeated Riders can be spared alive, as Zack, Jonouchi, Oren, and Takatora are still alive at the end of the series despite being defeated and losing their powers, with Takatora and Zack later regaining their powers in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle and Zack's Gaiden story respectively. And Jonouchi and Oren get theirs back in the novel, leaving six active Riders.

Multiform Balance
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_eb7b1a84
comment
Multiform Balance: Unlike prior series, most prominent Riders have multiple Lockseeds to choose from (plus an unofficial Master of None form when none are equipped). The forms gained from the Lockseeds are called "Arms": Gaim's Jack of All Stats is Orange Arms, and he gets other basic forms in Pine Arms (Mighty Glacier) and Ichigo Arms (Fragile Speedster). His stronger forms are the various Lightning Bruiser Jimber Arms and Super Modes Kachidoki and Kiwami Arms. He also gets Fresh Orange Arms in a DVD, which looks like an upgrade but is actually Master of None. Baron can switch between a Jack of All Stats (Banana Arms) and a Mighty Glacier (Mango Arms), and later on a Lightning Bruiser (Lemon Energy Arms). A DVD gives him a Deadly Upgrade of Ringo Arms; in the series itself he gets Super Mode by becoming an Overlord, called "Lord Baron". Ryugen's Budou Arms is his Jack of All Stats, and he occasionally uses the Glass Cannon Kiwi Arms. He becomes a Lightning Bruiser when he steals the Zangetsu Shin powerset, and briefly uses a Deadly Upgrade Super Mode with Yomotsuheguri Arms. The novel gives him another Super Mode in the form of Jimber Dragon Arms, using his Budou Lockseed with the Dragon Energy Lockseed. Zangetsu is simple in comparison, having only a Jack of All Stats (Melon Arms) and Lightning Bruiser (Melon Energy Arms) forms. He gets a third in a DVD, Watermelon Arms. The novel also lets him use Suika Arms and Jimber Melon. He also gets a Super Mode in his stage play with his own version of Kachidoki Arms, which appears again in Gridon VS Bravo. Knuckle has the normal Kurumi Arms, and a Super Mode in Jimber Marron Arms. He also uses Suika Arms once. Duke has three forms: the basic Lemon Arms that Ryoma abandons after using Lemon Energy Arms, and in the Movie War Full Throttle he gains a Super Mode, Dragon Energy Arms. Gridon's default Donguri Arms is a Mighty Glacier, but in one episode, he gets to use Suika Arms. In his hands it turns into a Joke Character, as he can't change out of Odama Mode and winds up being used as a living bludgeon by Bravo.

Early-Bird Cameo: Averted when Gaim didn't appear in the Kamen Rider Wizard Non-Serial Movie Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land, breaking a tradition that was established since Kamen Rider Decade. Instead, Gaim appears in the Post-Script Episodes of Wizard, which is a Crossover special with the other Heisei-era Riders. Most Lockseeds appear in either the background or in the Inves game long before their debut for transformation. Team Gaim also appeared among the home-video clips during the ending theme of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger a week before the premiere. The Kikaider crossover episode aired before the premiere of the Kikaider REBOOT movie.

The crossover is an Early-Bird Cameo for the Kikaider REBOOT movie.

Mitsuzane Kureshima starts off the series as Kouta's friend and the two are practically brothers; however, Micchy goes off the deep end over his crush on Mai, and decides that he has to kill Kouta. A lot of this is the result of him being manipulated and used by more villainous characters, and even after Kouta finds out he remains convinced that Micchy is a good person deep down and can be redeemed. After Kouta gives his life (he gets better) to save Micchy from a Deadly Upgrade, it starts his path to redemption, which is completed in the show's final episode.

comment
Continuity Lockout: Unlike other Heisei Rider series, Gaim has no real Monster of the Week plots and instead focuses on one continuous story.

My Little Panzer
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_f9fc071
comment
My Little Panzer: Hi-tech belts powered by reverse-engineered flora from Another Dimension and capable of granting their users an Instant Armor as well as various types of weaponry? Padlock-sized tools that can summon vicious, hungry beasts from said other dimension into the real world? Sure, let's just hand out some of them to those kids, why not? Justified. Yggdrasill Corporation is using said kids and their petty quarrels as guinea pigs to test the prototype belts.

Comically Missing the Point
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: When Oren takes to the airwaves to call out the Beat Riders, he uses the fact that he has employed Jonouchi as his apprentice as an example of how he plans to "discipline" the children. Mai completely misses the implied threat of violence, and instead becomes ecstatic over the prospect of getting to work at a pastry shop.

Weapon Specialization
 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_fc148c2c
comment
Weapon Specialization: Each Lockseed grants its own unique weapon, which are known as Arms Weapons. Mix-and-Match Weapon: Gaim and Zangetsu's Musou Saber, which they always have regardless of which Arms they equip themselves with. Typically used as a sword, its hilt also doubles as a gun. The former can combine his Musou Saber with some of his other weapons for extra power. Energy Bow: The Sonic Arrow, wielded by Riders who use Energy Lockseeds. Matsubokkuri Arms' Kagematsu. Dual Power Fists: Kurumi Arms' Kurumi Bombers. Donguri Arms' Donkachi. Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Melon Arms' Melon Defender. Epic Flail: Pine Arms' Pine Iron.note Becomes a kusarigama (chain sickle) when combined with the Musou Saber. Flechette Knives: Ichigo Arms' Ichigo Kunai. Katanas Are Just Better: Orange Arms' Daidaimaru.note Becomes a naginata when combined with the Musou Saber. Gaim tends to dual wield his Musou Saber alongside the Daidaimaru. There's also a "Fresh" version of the Orange Lockseed seen in the Hyper Battle DVD that provides dual Daidaimaru. Jousting Lance: Banana Arms' Banaspear. Double Weapon: Suika Arms' Suika Sojinto. For Gaim anyway; other Riders get Watermelon versions of their own main weapons (Baron gets a lance and Knuckle gets boxing gloves). Carry a Big Stick: Mango Arms' Mango Punisher. Dual Serrated Blades: Durian Arms' Duri Noko.note They can also be joined together by the ends of the grips. Dual Attack Wheels: Kiwi Arms' Kiwi Gekirin. Hand Cannon: Kachidoki Arms' Hinawa Daidai/Tenga DJ Ju.note Becomes a big sword when combined with the Musou Saber. Hyperspace Arsenal: Kiwami Arms has the ability to summon any of the above weapons. There's also the Yomotsuheguri Arms, which can summon the Budou Ryuhou, Kiwi Gekirin, and weapons used by the Overlords.

 Kamen Rider Gaim / int_fc33ff16
comment
One-Winged Angel: Berserk Inves, created when a Monster of the Week consumes a Lockseed. And then again if it eats another one, becoming an Evolved Inves. The Movie has a variation on this as Kohgane/Mars makes his horse evolve into the giant flaming steed from the trailers.

comment
Was Once a Man: At least some of the Inves are this. Most of them, actually; the creatures we and the characters know as Inves, were the native people of what is now the Helheim Forest. Non-sapient Earth animals have been shown turning into Elementary Inves, but even they were only a foot high or so...
