Line 73:
* [[Asskicking Pose]] - Earlier series usually depend on a series of this in order to Henshin.
** There are some exceptions, though: [[Kamen Rider Hibiki|Hibiki]] and [[Kamen Rider Ryuki|Ryuga]] do not pose when they Henshin, for example.
** [[Kamen Rider Black|BLACK]] (later [[Kamen Rider Black RX|BLACK RX]]) is pretty extreme with this. Not just henshin, they use them [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|AS! EMPHASIS!]]
* [[Badass]] - Shiro Kazami, Shigeru Jo, etc.
** More visible in the Showa series, where the Riders often fight mooks while untransformed. Minami Kotaro (Kamen Rider Black & Black RX) was notable for going toe-to-toe with [[Monster of the Week|monsters of the day]] while still in human form since that particular series had no mooks. Justified by the fact that they are all cyborgs or enhanced humans (or, in the case of Amazon, Tarzan) who are stronger than the average human. Of course, there are also exception in the Heisei series, such as Hibiki where the Oni are all good fighters even in human form and can fight untransformed.
