Line 9:
{{spoiler|After seemingly dying at the hands of the mushroom Grongi Me-Ginoga-De, Godai's premonitions combined with Dr Tsubaki's defibrillator awaken a new power in the Amadam, the stone within the Arcle. This unlocks a new level of power, the Rising forms. In his hatred for Go-Jaraji-Da, he channels Ultimate Form, a form powered by anger, as he defeats the Grongi. Eventually, once all the other Grongi are defeated, N-Daguva-Zeba, the Grongi leader, comes and nearly kills Godai, challenging him. Eventually, Godai transforms into Ultimate Form, but firmly under his control, and engages in a brutal battle with Daguva, narrowly winning after both their Amadams were destroyed and reverting into human form.}}
 
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Ultimate form [[Informed Ability|supposedly]] has this as its own unique power; it can use the weapons of all of Kuuga's forms as well as their abilities (Titan form's strength and durability, Dragon's speed and agility, etc), but since it only has 1 appearance so far, we have yet to see that in action.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]
* {{spoiler|[[Came Back Strong]]: After seemingly dying at the hands of the Mushroom Grongi Me-Ginoga-De, he revives with the ability to use [[Mid -Season Upgrade|Rising forms]].}}
* [[Chest Insignia]]: After a certain point, he starts wearing shirts and jackets marked with Kuuga's emblem.
* [[Cool Bike]]: The TryChaser 2000 and the BeatChaser 2000.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
* [[Destructive Savior]]: The Rising forms are powerful enough to cause catastrophic explosions; thus Godai and the police work to avoid this by diverting battles to more secluded locations.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Downplayed as Kuuga does not actually invoke the elements themselves (unless otherwise stated). Each of the four forms of Kuuga is themed after an element and implied as such based on in-universe translations of the Linto language. Heck, even Godai's own surname is tied to the five elements.
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: {{color|red|MMighty}} Form; fire is invoked when using the Rider Kick. {{spoiler|Ultimate Form also allows Kuuga to do this.}}
** [[Making a Splash]]: {{color|blue|DDragon}} Form; the form's color as well as the name of the finisher.
** [[Blow You Away]]: {{color|green|PPegasus}} Form; this one actually uses gusts of wind via weapon.
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: {{color|purple|TTitan}} Form; strong as the earth.
* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]: '''Ultimate''' Form
* [[Finishing Move]]:
** {{color|gray|GGrowing}} Form: ''Growing Kick'' <ref>A kick with a third of Mighty Kick's power.</ref>
** {{color|red|MMighty}} Form: ''Mighty Kick'' <ref>A powerful kick. Kuuga spins in midair to grant additional power.</ref>
*** {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|red|MMighty}} Form: ''Rising Mighty Kick'' <ref>A more powerful version powered up by the Mighty Anklet. Can level city blocks.</ref>
*** '''Amazing''' {{color|goldenrod|MMighty}} Form: ''Amazing Mighty Kick'' <ref>An even more powerful version powered up by two Mighty Anklets.</ref>
** {{color|blue|DDragon}} Form: ''Splash Dragon'' <ref>A strike with the Dragon Rod's tip.</ref>
*** {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|blue|DDragon}} Form: ''Rising Splash Dragon'' <ref>A strike with the Rising Dragon Rod's bladed tip.</ref>
** {{color|green|PPegasus}} Form: ''Blast Pegasus'' <ref>An arrow fired from the Pegasus Bowgun.</ref>
*** {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|green|PPegasus}} Form: ''Rising Blast Pegasus'' <ref>Three arrows fired from the Rising Pegasus Bowgun.</ref>
** {{color|purple|TTitan}} Form: ''Calamity Titan'' <ref>Kuuga stabs with the Titan Sword.</ref>
*** {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|purple|TTitan}} Form: ''Rising Calamity Titan'' <ref>A more powerful version of the Calamity Titan.</ref>, ''Double Rising Calamity Titan'' <ref>After Kuuga summons a second Rising Titan Sword.</ref>
** '''Ultimate''' Form: ''Ultimate Mighty Kick'' <ref>A Rider Kick said to be so insanely strong, it could cause an [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] if used at full power! Obviously, this attack is [[All There in the Manual|only mentioned, never shown]].</ref>
** TryGouram Attack: Kuuga on the TryGouram [[Ramming Always Works|rams a Grongi]].
*** {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} BeatGouram Attack: ''Body Attack'' <ref>A more powerful version [[Ramming Always Works|ramming attack]], used by BeatGouram powered up with Rising energy.</ref>
* [[For Happiness]]
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Mid -Season Upgrade]]: The {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} forms, and the BeatChaser 2000.
* [[Multiform Balance]]
** [[Joke Character]]: {{color|gray|GGrowing}} Form
** [[Jack of All Stats]]: {{color|red|MMighty}} and {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|red|MMighty}} Forms.<ref>They (along with Amazing Mighty) technically hold no real weakness or strengths unlike the other forms of Kuuga, and holds traits belonging to them to a lessor extent.</ref>
** [[Fragile Speedster]]: Both {{color|blue|DDragon}} Forms.<ref>They're much faster than the other forms of Kuuga and can jump over buildings with ease, but their actual punching and kicking strength are lessor than Mighty and Titan forms.</ref>
** [[Glass Cannon]]: Both {{color|green|PPegasus}} Forms.<ref>They can shoot projectiles with frightening speed and accuracy, but they're vulnerable to loud sounds and can be defeated by few direct attacks.</ref>
** [[Mighty Glacier]]: Both {{color|purple|TTitan}} Forms.<ref>They have a powerful combo of armor and strength, but they lack the agility provided by the other forms to fight efficiently beyond just take and dish back.</ref>
** [[Lightning Bruiser]]: '''Amazing''' {{color|goldenrod|MMighty}} Form, the strongest pre-final form in Godai's arsenal.
** [[Super Mode]]: '''Ultimate''' Form
** [[Super -Powered Evil Side]]: Black-eyed '''Ultimate''' Form
** {{spoiler|[[Serial Escalation]]: {{color|goldenrod|Rising}} '''Ultimate''' Form}}<ref> It's implied he has this in the final episode of Kamen Rider Wizard, when all the riders regain their powers and turned into their [[Super Mode]] transformations, Kuuga turned into Rising Ultimate Form, even though said form never appeared in Battride War 2.</ref>
* [[Nice Guy]]: Probably the ultimate example in Kamen Rider, so much that almost every protagonist after him takes a trait of this to some degree.
* [[Reluctant Warrior]]: Hates fighting, but due to the Grongi threat has no choice but to.
* [[Super Senses]]: Pegasus Form enhances all of Godai's senses. Unfortunately, these hightened sense are ''so'' sensitive that he can only maintain Pegasus for about fifty seconds before he suffers [[Sensory Overload]] and is forced to change out of it.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]
** [[Bare -Fisted Monk]]: {{color|gray|GGrowing}} Form, all three {{color|red|MMighty}} Forms and '''Ultimate''' Form.
** [[Simple Staff]]: {{color|blue|DDragon Rod}}
*** [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|blue|DDragon Rod}}
** [[The Archer]]: {{color|green|PPegasus Bowgun}}
*** [[Automatic Crossbows]]: {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|green|PPegasus Bowgun}}
** [[BFSBlade of Fearsome Size]]: {{color|purple|TTitan Sword}} and {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|purple|TTitan Sword}}.
*** [[Dual -Wielding]]: Two {{color|goldenrod|RRising}} {{color|purple|TTitan Swords}} used for the Double Rising Calamity Titan attack.

Line 94 ⟶ 96:
The ruler of the Grongi tribe. He is the first Grongi to be awoken and was the one to revive all 200 of the rest of his tribe (although he slaughtered a large number of them as they were too weak to fight Kuuga). Dubbed Unidentified Life Form 0, Daguba took the form of a young man in white towards the end of the series once Kuuga defeated the Zu, Me and Go tribes. Towards the finale, he attempted to bring about the 'Ultimate Darkness' to turn humans into a violent race like the Grongi. Yuusuke eventually confronted Daguba in the mountains and after cracking each other's belts, were both forced into their human forms where they fought hand-to-hand. In the end, despite dealing Yuusuke a critical blow, Daguba was killed.
 
* [[Bare Fisted Monk]]: Aside from pyrokinesis, he seems to prefer using his fists in battle, just like Kuuga.
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[Cross Counter]]: {{spoiler|How his slugfest with Godai ended, with ''both'' of them forced into their human forms!}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Kuuga's Ultimate Form.
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Maybe unintentional, but {{spoiler|during his last stand with Godai, he ends up punching his belt, the source of his powers, and breaking it. Godai naturally does the same to him.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Famous Last Words]]: "You've became it, didn't you? Someone who possesses ultimate power."}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Kuuga's Ultimate Form, to the point where they have the same powers.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Especially in the Battride War series {{spoiler|and when he dies}}.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]: In direct contrast to Kuuga Ultimate Form's [[Dark Is Not Evil]].
* [[Man in White]]: To the point of glowing.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
 
 
Line 129 ⟶ 137:
 
* [[Acting for Two]]: The same guy plays both Zu-Baduu-Ba's and Go-Badaa-Ba's human forms.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse Withwith Bees]]: Me-Badjisu-Ba.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Even Worse Withwith Sharks]]: Go-Jaaza-Gi; in fact she is one of the three strongest Go class, with the ability to change forms.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Along with Daguba, both Go-Badaa-Ba and Go-Gadoru-Ba parallel Kuuga in different ways. Badaa, like Kuuga, is a [[Badass Biker]] whose animal tattoo just so happens to be the motif of the [[Mythology Gag|first Kamen Rider]]. Gadoru, as the leader of the Go Tribe, is able to change between forms, five in total, each paralleling one of Kuuga's base four forms and his Rising form. It also helps that his animal motif is a [[Japanese Beetle Brothers|rhinoceros-beetle]].
* [[Eye Scream]]: Zu-Mebio-Da is shot in the eye by police, with bloody results.
