The 2008-2009 series of ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' and the ninth installment in the Heisei Era.
Line 42:
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]] - Wataru and Shizuka befriend a large, cheerful man who [[Does Not Know His Own Strength]], nicknaming him "Dai-chan" ("Mr. Big", essentially). When he recovers his memories, it turns out that {{spoiler|he's Rook, [[The Brute]] of the Checkmate Four, who spends most of his time engaging in random acts of murder for fun.}}
* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]] - invoked at the beginning of every ep, thanks to Kivat.

* {{spoiler|[[And the Adventure Continues...]]}}
* [[Ape Shall Never Kill Ape]] - Subverted to hell and back by Queen, whose purpose is to kill any Fangire who falls in love with a human; King, who is not above killing any Fangire who seeks to help human progress; and any Fangire attempting to kill Maya, past and present.
Line 205:
* [[Meanwhile in the Future]] - The story is told in both 2008 and 1986 simultaneously. Time jumps are a common occurrence.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Once Tatsulot joins Kivat in the episode intros.

* [[Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold]]: Wataru at first, to the extent that people have been calling him [[GeGeGe no Kitaro|'Obaketarou'.]]
* [[Monster Mash]] - This season's particular motif.
Line 375:
** And earlier, {{spoiler|Mio}} crashes her own wedding by {{spoiler|stabbing Taiga in the gut.}}
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Of the Wham Arc variant: The ramifications of Wataru, Taiga and Mio {{spoiler|learning that they're Kiva, Saga and the Fangire Queen}} are spread over several eps, with Wataru {{spoiler|revealing everything to the Blue Sky group}} as well. After Shima asking Wataru to help the Blue Sky Group and Taiga asking Wataru to {{spoiler|[[We Can Rule Together|join his side and lead the Fangires]],}} there's nothing quite like Mio asking him sweetly to {{spoiler|[[Dissonant Serenity|kill Taiga]].}}

** Wataru! Stop pumping your damn sword and kill them already!
** It makes sense in context, because what he's actually doing is sharpening the blade so it never gets dull.
