Because Kenzaki's immortal? I guess, but considering the fighting strength of Blade King, he's not that strong.

Time Scarab

That's one card. Sure, he can manipulate time, but his actual power in that form is not very strong.

Or is this like a Hyper Kabuto situation where no matter how strong you are, you'll get beaten by Hyper Clcok Up by the time out?

Sure time manipulation is good but how much power does Hyper Kabuto actually have?

It isn't just about raw power though, its about technique. And even if OOO had the edge in power I'd say Tendou trumps Eiji in technique.

Even if he is my favorite Rider, I'd say Eiji lacks proper technique. Sure he has shown to be able to adapt to situations and has a versatile arsenal of powers, but Eiji's fighting style is a bit erratic, seeing as he has to change up his strategy every time he switches combos. Unless he sticks to just one or goes all out with his different Combo clones, Eiji's brute strength can be outmatched with Tendou's by-the-book fighting style.

Wow, zeo n ooo are the fairest commentor here, good comments, fair and square, i like!!!

Thinking about it more, you could then argue that Eiji's erratic nature would work to his advantage. The Riders Tendou fought were much more disciplined so without proper knowledge of his abilities the sheer variety of OOO could throw Kabuto off-edge.

Or of course, Tendou could BS his way through it like he always does :lol

Kabuto/OOO is definitely a matchup where I feel external factors would end up playing a huge part in things.

Zeo, i read in the wikia, decade is also capable of transform into hyper kabuto but was defeated by stronger charge up...

I guess with OOO the big question is whether we factor in the Ankh support, since he tended to do most of the combo selection and strategy. Without that help I'd definitely agree that Eiji has problems as a fighter.
