Rider Of The Year Tournament- 5th Match
 

And now onto the next match-

Kamen Rider Dark Kiva

VS

Kamen Rider Den-O

Dark Kiva

• As Dark Kiva, the King has access to a unlimited potential of power that is hindered within his successor such as telekinesis and the use of the Kiva insignia as a weapon.
• The Dark Kivat Belt is the King's means of transforming into Dark Kiva. Similar to how Kiva transforms, the King has Kivat-bat the 2nd bite him, and then perch upside down on the Power Roost of the belt's Dark Kibuckle to complete the transformation, separating from the belt when certain conditions demand for it like Fuestle-blowing. The Dark Kivat Belt also has six Fueslots to hold the six Fuestles.
• Kivat-Bat the 2nd can support him by attacking before he henshins.
• Has two seen finishers- Darkness Hell Crash: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up One," the Darkness Hell Crash is a punch with the force of 65t. When performed, day turns into night with blood red fog. Dark Kiva then does a flying punch with his right arm. King's Burst End: Referred to by Kivat-Bat the 2nd as "Wake Up Two," the King's Burst End is an Emperor Moon Break-style kick with the force of 180t and green energy blades.
• Wields the Zanvat Sword.
• Can assume the form of the Bat Fangire.

Den-O:

• Has 9 different forms, each with their own skills
• Wields the Den-Gasher, a weapon with multiple weapon configurations
• Can travel through time with the DenLiner, which has multiple powers in each train car.
• Sword Form is Kamen Rider Den-O's first (and most common) form, used when Ryotaro is possessed by Momotaros. In Sword Form, he uses the DenGasher as a standard sword-style weapon. Sword Form is the most balanced of all his forms, possibly because of Momotaros' prominence among the other Imagin. Momotaros himself once assumed Sword Form during the events of "Final Countdown" to battle Kamen Rider Yuuki. Every so often, Momotaros will develop a new Finishing Attack that he uses to finish off Imagin, and has developed Parts 1, 2, 2' (2-dash), 3, 5, Special Version (used in "I'm Born!"), and the Imagin-assisted Final Version, although parts 2, 3, and 5 are essentially identical. Special Version is nearly identical to 2, 3, and 5, but uses a double Full Charge and only strikes the enemy on the rebound, while Final Version is an extended attack that uses the energy of the other Taros, Sieg, and Zeronos. Sword Form also has a triple roundhouse Rider Kick that Momotaros refers to as his "Super Finishing Attack."
• Rod Form is Kamen Rider Den-O's second form, used when Ryotaro is possessed by Urataros. In Rod Form, the DenGasher is transformed into a rod-style weapon. Rod Form gains the ability to move and breathe underwater, increased protection, and increased kicking power. But as a drawback, he loses physical strength and jumping height. Urataros himself assumed this form when he borrowed Ryotaro's Belt to fight off the Mole Imagin he tricked, and again during "Final Countdown" to fight the army of revived Imagin. This form is one of the least used of Den-O's forms, as Urataros rarely fights. However, whenever a fight occurs in the proximity of water, or if the other Imagin are unable to fight, Urataros will assist with his fishing skills. Rod Form is also one of two forms that uses a Rider Kick as part of its standard finisher, pinning the enemy with the rod as a harpoon before executing a flying side kick.
• Axe Form is Kamen Rider Den-O's third form, used when Ryotaro is possessed by Kintaros. In Axe Form, the DenGasher is transformed into an axe for short, close ranged attacks. Axe Form gains increased strength and defense, but as a result suffers with less speed and kicking power. This form is the physically strongest of the Den-O forms, due to Kintaros's own brute strength. Kintaros himself assumes this form by using the Den-O Belt to help Ryotaro fend off an army of Imagin in the past, and again during "Final Countdown" to fight off the army of revived Imagin. Kintaros tends to fight as Ax Form whenever he senses crying or he hears someone near Ryotaro say anything resembling the Japanese word for "cry.”
• Gun Form is Kamen Rider Den-O's fourth form, used when Ryotaro is possessed by Ryutaros. In Gun Form, the DenGasher is transformed into a gun for short and long range attacks. Gun Form displays an increase in speed, power, and defense, easily making it the most superior of the four basic forms. Ryutaros tends to fight as Gun Form at his whim, as he is able to overpower the other three Tarōs and in some cases Ryotaro. However, he also tends to cause more damage than the other forms because of his low precision and the high power of his ammunition. Ryutaros himself once assumed Gun Form during the events of "Final Countdown" in order to battle the revived army of Imagin. Ryutaros incorporates break-dancing moves into his fighting style in Gun Form, making his movements somewhat unpredictable.
• Wing Form is Den-O's fifth form, used when Ryotaro is possessed by Sieg. Wing Form is used again during the trip to the Edo period to fight the Cobra Imagin. Sieg himself once assumed Wing Form during the events of "Final Countdown" to assist in fighting Shiro's army of revived Imagin. Den-O Wing Form uses the DenGasher as two separate weapons, a boomerang (Sword and Grip) and a handaxe (Ax and Gun). Although it resembles Sword Form, the Aura Skin becomes gold, different shoulders are used, and the DenKamen's visor is blue swan-like wings. In order to access Wing Form, the golden Wing Buckle must be placed over the Terminal Buckle. This form gives Den-O agility far greater than Gun Form
• Liner Form is Den-O's final form in the series, gained when the Tarōs created the DenKamen Sword for Ryotaro to use when they could no longer possess him in the past. In order to transform into Liner Form, the Rider Pass must be slid into a slot in the back of the DenKamen Sword's blade. This form, solely controlled by Ryotaro with the Imagin using the DenKamen Sword as a means of communication, is themed around DenLiner Gouka and KingLiner in transformation and attack. Ryotaro can also utilize each of his Imagin's respective fighting style, whenever their DenKamen is selected on the DenKamen Sword (e.g. Kintaros' strength and defense in KinAx Mode, and Ryutaros' breakdancing techniques in RyuGun Mode). It soon becomes the only form Ryotaro is able to use while fighting in the past. By the time the events of Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown take place, Liner Form is Ryotaro's default form, accessed through the Rider Pass, the K-Taros, and the Den-O Belt. As compared to before, he could only access Plat Form initially, a sign of his much stronger will.
• Most Powerful Form: Climax (TV), Super Climax (Movies)
• Climax Form is Den-O's sixth form. It is accessed when all of the Tarōs except Momotaros fade away and Ryotaro's desire not to lose them creates the K-Taros which restores the three Imagins' bond to Ryotaro. After entering the code 3-6-9-# and attaching it to the Den-O Belt, Den-O becomes Climax Form. Climax Form is basically a stronger version of Sword Form that incorporates the DenKamen of the other three Den-O forms onto various parts of the armor (Rod Form's DenKamen is on the right shoulder with Urataros controlling the right arm, Ax Form's DenKamen on the left shoulder with Kintaros controlling the left arm, and Gun Form's DenKamen on the chest with Ryutaros controlling the legs). But due to the nature of Climax Form, the Tarōs need to work as one to fight, and their strengths are incorporated into Climax Form. The three DenKamen can also travel along tracks on Climax Form's body to align with the leg or arm to enter Kick Mode or Punch Mode with the three Tarōs controlling that one limb while leaving Momotaros to control the rest of the body to perform "Charge and Up" attacks. Usually Momotaros is the one controlling the whole body, but the other Taros are free to take over control of their respective limb parts anytime
• Super Climax Form is Den-O's eighth, strongest, and true final form. It is identical to the original Climax Form, except with the addition of Sieg's power and Wing Form's DenKamen attaching to back, giving him wings. It is also physically stronger than Climax Form and has the ability to use the wings to fly up and execute a stronger version of Climax Form's Rider Kick. Although the wings are big and powerful to enable actual flight, it was only used to execute the said Rider Kick.

This battle closes tomorrow!

Gah, I missed out on this one :(

I'm annoyed, but I'd feel worse if this wasn't the battle to get slaughtered by Kuuga. :p

i have to go with Den-O due to the fact his power from the imargin so he has various form that can be use and once momo in control every thing a Climax with him even in Climax Form Den-O still has a Chance of winning.

I think I have to go with Den-O on this one. He doesn't have as much raw power as Dark Kiva, but he's highly versatile and, more importantly, incredibly unpredictable. He can completely keep his opponents off their game and nothing I've seen of King tells me that he'd be able to cope with an opponent who is constantly changing weapons, fighting styles, and personalities.

Den-O is his own Sentai. :p

That is awesome.

I'm torn. I think I LIKE Dark Kiva better, but I think the comments so far are correct that Den-O's versatility would give him a very good chance of defeating Dark Kiva.

I love Kiva. But Den-O would flatten Dark without breaking much a sweat.

This sums it up nicely. Ore sanjou!

I went with Den-O because like last time no matter how strong a villian is, the hero will always win.
