Kamen Rider Kiva: Difference between revisions

Meanwhile [[The Eighties|in 1986]], Wataru's father Otoya Kurenai waltzes through life while the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization struggles to fight off the Fangire threat. He falls for Yuri Aso, the organization's top operative who seeks [[You Killed My Father|to avenge her mother's death]], and joins her in their fight. He soon comes into conflict with another new operative, a [[The Drifter|mysterious vagabond]] named Jiro, who is chosen to be the user of the Wonderful Blue Sky Organisation's newest weapon: the prototype IXA System.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]] - Jiro in Garuru form, when consuming human souls, starts by ''cleaving their souls from their bodies with one swipe of his claws.''

** There's also ''Emperor'' DoGaBaKi Form in the Hyper Battle Video. Unfortunately, due to budget constraits, it looks a bit shit (it's VERY clearly just the original DoGaBaKi with Emperor Form's helmet, bracers, greaves, and cape).

*** Which is a little odd and redundant, seeing as Emperor Form can already use all three Arms Monster weapons thanks to Tatsulot's Fever ability.

** Which makes Wataru's rather brutal methods of bringing justice somewhat disturbing if you think about it, and the fact he is portrayed as the hero.

* [[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.}}

* [[Generation Xerox]]

* [[Genius Loci]] - Castle Dran

* [[Good Is Not Nice]] - Nago, {{spoiler|at least until he starts mellowing out in the second half of the series.}}

* [[Half-Human Hybrid]] - {{spoiler|Wataru, although the hint is rather obvious whenever he begins his transformation sequence.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] - Otoya Kurenai

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] - Queen/Maya gets her own backing choir.

** Don't forget Taiga.

* [[One-Hour Work Week]] - Taiga and D&P.

** {{spoiler|Also, Bishop reveals that he was the one who killed Mio in order to protect Taiga. Too bad Taiga didn't agree with his method of thinking.}}

* [[The Rival]] - Keisuke Nago

* [[Romantic False Lead]] - Taiga is a combination of a False Lead and a [[Hopeless Suitor]].

* [[Screw Destiny]] - {{spoiler|Mio}} rejects her destiny as 2008's Queen. {{spoiler|[[You Can't Fight Fate|At first]]}}.
