The Gaim Death Poll
 

Yuuya, Hase, Sid, Takatora.. for an episode. There've been a couple deaths so far, but we all know more are coming. Gen wouldn't disappoint us now. So who do you think is going next? Pick your canidate, and then give you best guess how/why!

I'm thinking Ryouma. He's cutting all of his ties. And with the increased threats of the Overlords, I don't think he's gonna last much longer.

Akira. Because Kouta needs another reason to become an Overlord! (At least according to the showrunner)

Me too.

Wow, I'm surprised all the votes aren't going to Miichi. :lol

He's not being a raging idiot and, rather than play both sides, decide he can stand alone with no assistance whatsoever, like our Lemon Energy Rider...
That and I have faith that Micchy is gonna make it :lol

While it could be anyone behind the masks, you also have to take in to account who is seen in the war at the beginning of the show. I'd say Zack, Oren, Ryouma, and Minato are the top contenders for getting the cut. The question is, in what order?

But Right now Kaito is working with Kouta, and I HIGHLY doubt Takatora would join forces with his brother.

There's still time for things to change a lot between now and then. Although I'm sure Micchy is planning to stab whoever comes out on top in the back.

I'm still surprised Oren is alive. And with Micchy now pissed at him...

I chose Other.
Who, you might ask? It's Bandou. I have a feeling there will be a civilian causality, and Bandou just seemed to fit. Whether he gets killed by an Invess, a Rider, or ends up being crash-landed on by Ryoma, I doubt he'll make it.

I voted for Mai.

Wishful thinking.

Considering Takatora has defied death once, that could either mean he's bulletproof or that it is a red herring and he'll actually die very soon.

Obviously we all want Micchy to die (that is who I voted for), and after last episode you can throw Kouta's sister in the fire also. I'd say kill Mai for being so useless, but she's cute so I'll let her pass this time.

I know it'd never happen, and I really like Kouta so I'm glad I have that reassurance, but it would be an interest dynamic if Kouta dies and then Kaito has to take his place as the protagonist which would complete his arc from heart of stone to all out hero.

Marika seemingly turning her back on Yggaddrasil may mark her for death, or it may be a red herring that she is actually gonna be instrumental in the next killing when someone lets their guard down.

And I'm guessing Ryouma is gonna definetly die, as he's our main baddie, but not until the end.

Kaito.

I love Baron Banana-Man but I think he's next. And it'll probably defending either Kouta from another Micchy attack, defending Minato from Ryouma, or defending Mai from almost anything. I just have this deep feeling it'll be defending someone and he'll go down.

As much as I want Micchy to die a slow and horribly agonizing painful death.. I don't want him to win anything. Even a poll of who dies.

Would be kinda weird if in a kids show, Kaito dies protecting people, like what kind of message is that?!

I'd put my bets on Zack. He`s far and away the weakest named Rider, especially now that Jonouchi has been Oren-trained into competence. On top of that, his death would serve as a very good way to resolve Kaito into whatever his final position is. Either Zack`s death while following Kouta`s ideals would convince Kaito that his own `Strength above all` philosophy is right, or it could turn Kaito to agreeing with Kouta`s way.

My bet is on Oren.

The writers have said Jonouchi is one of their favorite characters yet, despite how he's grown from the beginning, we still haven't seen him much to gain much sympathy for him.

Cue Bravo dying trying to protect him, providing reason for Jonouchi to grow even more as a character.

After that, idk, maybe Minato. The original Energy Riders are basically disbanded with Sid being turned into Cherry jam, Micchy stealing his brother's belt and Ryoma flatout betraying and/or abandoning the other 3. Just don't see much reason for Yoko to stick around.

Agreed. There's also the option of Kaito accidentally striking him down in a moment of rage.

I picked Oren.

I have this feeling he'll die trying to expose Micchy to Kouta, or by fighting Zangetsu Shin one on one.

I'm going with Switchblade here and say Mai.

She has shown that she's unable to grow as a character and it's possibly that the Maiden of Fate is using her appearance to warn the Riders that bad things are about to go down. Sure DJ Sagara is more positive but he did say outright he's using Kouta.....almost to his face.

So yeah Mai's constant dance talk and being the apple of the eyes of both Michi the Bitchi and Kaito (both who are not well mentally, as we all know) has marked her for a tragic; if foreseen death.

I voted for Marika because she is a female Rider and they don't tend to survive except for recent ones. I know she a bit more character to learn about but I don't know if there is more for her.

Personally I want Micchy to die but I think he'll survive though, either long enough to try and go back to everyone feeling sorry, or sacrifice himself.

I also worry about Bravo and Knuckle two of my other favorites just because of how they are, and especially Knuckle I've been worrying about for so long.

At this rate it'll be Micchy but I vote for Ryouma for some odd reason!! My instincts think that'll he'll die next!!

As a woman period in Kamen Rider she's already passed her life expectancy.

My guess is Open will die as a casualty of the Invess invasion. I would assume that Kouta and Kaito need traumatic things to occur to further their evolution in to Overlords as you can see that's where the show is headed.

I'll wager that Kaito kills Zach in a fit of rage over the Fruit of Knowledge thus securing Kaito's transformation in to a bad guy and probably Marika will die defending him and he won't care.

Kouta? His sister dies finally pushing him to the brink.

Micchy? He ends up hurting Mai simply to get to Kouta, finally transforming him in to a true villain.

And finally, Takatora will have to fight Micchy, and my vote is now that Takatora receives the Fruit of Knowledge and ends up saving the world.

I'll counter that by suggesting that it instead causes Kaito to realize the futility of his quest for power for its own sake and put him on a quest for redemption.

To be fair the Female Ixa's survived but they weren't the main users of Ixa.

I can see most of this happening, but I don't think Zack will die by Kaito, maybe if Kouta becomes an Overlord and goes out of control like Eiji did as a Greeed, then I could see Kouta kill Zack in that spurt, and Kaito will get empowered by his death.

I honestly see Micchy dying like this- That overlord he is teaming with, it is as scheming as he is. He tries to overpower the Overlord, but since Micchy has little to no power, he gets his ass kicked and we repeat what happened to Sid, maybe not as gruesome as getting squished between a mountain, but something along those lines.

I'm guessing anyone who wasn't in the scene from the first episode. I like most of the riders, except for Sid, but he's already dead. So I guess second would be Ryoma. But on the Poll I voted Kouta, just because I like messing with data.

Also, I don't think any of the 4 main riders will die, just because at the show's beginning, all 4 are there, adding the fact that only the first users of the belts can use them. But, really, why are we all assuming everyone is going to die? I mean, they could still be alive at the show's end. But if we are going to guess whose going to die next, I would say...Sid. He survives at the brink of death, eats a fruit, becomes an Inves, starts a rampage, which leads to someone killing him. There's nothing better than having a character you hate die twice.

Micchy. He has it coming

I seriously doubt that would happen, but I really hope it does. I actually voted for Minato, but I have a feeling that Zack or Oren has a strong probability as well.

Kurokage Trooper #37. Let's face it, he's just not as fast, strong, or charming as Kurokage Trooper #1-36, especially his cubicle buddy, Kurokage Trooper #16.

Gonna have to side with KRX on this one. He's just too weak to make it out alive. The will live is just not in him.

Especally after that divorce. And his depression.

And losing the kids, and being fired.

Or his father's disapproval of never having been able to live up to his brother, Kurokage Trooper #36's, example, in addition to his doctor informing him just the week prior that he might have Parkinson's.

At this point you could it's almost like he wants to be killed. While some would easily call it homicide, others close to him would be privy to call it a suicide.

Why are we discussing the depressing life of a Kurokage?

I'm going to have to disagree with you two. 36 is a red herring, Kurokage Trooper #12 is the one who's going to die.

If you read any of the tie-in material you'd know that he's about two days away from retirement, and actually said those words in the Trooper breakroom shortly before knocking over a salt shaker.

Oh my. I guess that does mark him as being the next one to go. I'll begin making the arrangements for the funeral.
