Youtube made me cry when I tried to find his song. :cry

She has a hat?

I've always found it odd why Toei/Youtube is so quick to remove that song vs. every other KR/Sentai song ever >.>

I love how everybody started out this attitude of "Kuuga's gonna lose because Skull is more loved", and voted for Kuuga thinking he would still lose.
But yeah, Kuuga's stronger. Not necessarily Stronger, but stronger than Skull.
Skull would probably just yield and not fight though, because he's too hardboiled to fight other Riders.

Turns out I was wrong. Kuuga Ultimate's Rider Kick couldn't split the planet in half.

According to an official DVD, Kuuga Ultimate's Rider Kick could end the universe at full power.

Skull's Rider Kick is a giant flaming skull.

The thing is, this once again spreads into the "How deep are we going into the Rider's psyche's?" question.
Having the power to do something and having the willingness to do it is different.

Last time I checked, Kuuga didn't Rider Kick the universe out of existence. Skull killed his partner with his Rider Kick.

That's...Not an amazing feat.
Riders kill monsters with kicks all the time...

Well, we've all seen how riders will act. But do you really think that just to win, Kuuga will actually destroy the planet with his kick? Hence why I removed it from his abilities. And sure Skull killed his partner, but that was after he realized that there was no other way to save him, he knew his partner had gone over the deep end. It's not like he killed him in cold blood. These battles are to contest the abilities of riders and how they will use their powers in battle.

Skull killed his partner. Kuuga brought his partner to his final fight in case he lost control of his powers and needed to be put down. I think that's more manly and badass.

You know, given the fanbase, I don't think we should bring manliness into a battle against Skull.

Forgot to close this battle. The winner by a large margin is Kuuga! He's going onto the finals!

Kamen Rider Similarities T2, SF2- The Dark Knight vs The Sharpshooting Thief
 

And onto the second semifinal! It's none other than-

Kamen Rider Knight (Kamen Rider Ryuki, 2002)

VS

Kamen Rider Diend (Kamen Rider Decade, 2009)

Stats are:

Knight:

• Can travel through the mirror world
• Can summon Darkwing, his contract monster
• Wields the Nasty, Guard, Strange, Shoot, Blast, Trick and Sword Vent cards
• Most Powerful Form- Knight Survive
• Survive is Knight's ultimate form, assumed by using the power of Survive Shippu. In this form, Knight's Rider Visor transforms into an arm-mounted scabbard called Dark Visor-Zwei, which could transform into either Dark Arrow or the Dark Shield. His Final Vent is Shippudan, riding Darkraider as it turns into a missile to run through their opponent.
• In Survive Form, Darkwing becomes Darkraider which in turn can become a motorcycle.
• Weakness- Without his Contract Card, he'll revert to Blank form, a weak form.

DiEnd

• Wields the DiEnd Driver, allowing him to shoot and henshin
• Can summon other riders via Kamen Ride Cards, and use FFR Cards to turn them into powerful weapons
• Can travel through dimensions
• Invisible Card- Allows him to get out of sight
• Illusion Card- Allows him to make copies of himself
• Blast Card- Allows DiEnd to unleash a barrage of blasts
• Most Powerful form: Complete Form
• With the Gekijouban card, he is able to summon the 8 Riders (G4, Ryuga, Orga, Glaive, Kabuki, Causcaus, Arc, Skull) and have them do their final attacks.
• Weakness: Loves treasures, will often go after them regardless of consequences. Taking his DiEnd Driver can result in another person becoming DiEnd and leave him powerless.

Let the second semifinal begin!!!! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FACTS ABOUT THE RIDERS, AND TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION. PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS JUST A POPULARITY CONTEST.

This battle closes Friday!

gotta go with knight, diend is sneaky, but knight is literally as swift as a bat

Damn it. I know I voted Diend agaisnt Agito and Caucasus. And I know that the same logic would work in this battle. I know that normally I'd use that logic again and I can see that alot of people are going to use the same logic as the last battle. But I mean, it's Knight, the winner of the Rider battle. The guy who actually did defeat Odin once even if he didn't really do it the last time. His power and determination are unmatched and there's no 3rd rider to muddy this battle and let Diend use as a distraction. There's no item to steal that would affect the outcome that Diend could actually get his hands on. Knight is a better fighter (and person). He will fight, he will survive, he will win.

Knight wins this hands down. Trick Vent>Knock Off Riders. Nasty Vent could flush out DiEnd if he tries to use Invisible. And Knight survived Zolda's End of the World Final Vent. END! OF! THE! FREAKING! WORLD! The Final Vent which has everyone going "Holy shit!" the first time they see it because of all the firepower it has going. Final Attack Ride DiEnd Blast has nothing on that. NOTHING! Also, DiEnd Complete looks like ass compared to Knight Survive :lol.

Definitely Knight.

Knight...
Advent
*dark wing goes for Diend Driver*
Diend shoots Knights belt

now we have Ren and Daiki,

Daiki runs, Ren catches him and pounds him to pavement

A knight vs a thief. Well, the knight is skilled in fighting and killing. The thief's skills are in stealing. This being a fight to the finish...yeah, the knight wins.

Boy this round is half characters that should've lost long ago.

Nasty Vent > Impale Diend.
Game.
Knight wins.

I think the big threat here is DiEnd somehow getting hold of Knight's Advent Deck, which would likely be his entire purpose for getting into the fight. I have two words for that: Trick Vent. Knight throws out his duplicates and by the time DiEnd figures out which ones real he's already getting pounded. At that point I imagine DiEnd cuts his losses and runs, like normal. DiEnd can take advantage in a fight with multiple opponents, but one-on-one he'd book it the second things started going south.

Man, it just struck me. Blue, grill-faced secondary riders that stick cards into their weapons to attack people and summon allies? Hell, I think they'd just be friends until Kaito dashes off with Ren's motorcycle.

I don't think Ren even knows how to spell "Friend" :P

I know, I know. But maybe the visibility through Knight's helmet would be bad enough for Ren to think he's looking in a mirror rather than Diend, thus making him think he's not in the Mirror World yet, thus causing him to leap forward into what he thinks is a mirror, thus catching Kaito off guard by landing in his arms, thus accidently receiving Kaito's soft embrace, thus one thing leading to another...

Yeah, I got nothing.

thats more like the start of a really creepy fanfic....

Power wise, the two seem fairly even. I guess it would come down to how muc the other wants to win.

Sorry, DiEnd. I think I'll have to go with Batman.

No matter what trick he has up his sneaky sleeve DiEnd's going to lose this match painfully. Knight's a damn good fighter and has taken on harder foes than crafty DiEnd. Plus while his summoned Riders are good, they're not as good as the originals. Dark Wing can deal with them no problem. Throw in Knight Survive and it's lights out for our friend DiEnd.

We're hereby avoiding any mention of sea cucumbers.

I really want to vote DiEnd, but I think Knight wins this one. I haven't watched Ryuki yet, but when I do, I think I would vote Knight over DiEnd anyways.

The only time I saw Batm- er, I mean Knight in action was in DiEnd's series, ironically enough. DiEnd wasn't even in that episode either, but I think that's kind of trivial.

He finally accepted Shinji as his friend. Then Shinji died.

What series? :rolleyes

im gonna say this. knights trick vent isnt a worry all he can so is get 2 copies of himself. diend has illusion, he gets 5 copies of himself.

Where did you get that from? I just saw Ep. 35, and he and Ryuki Survive both had at least 3 copies of themselves. And if I recall, he had 4 copies of himself in Ep. 2.

Trick vent has given him up to 8 copies before, hasn't it?

Spoilers :lol

Let's watch Wednesdays only has 5 episodes left.

I forgot that DiEnd had Illusion in his deck, I thought that was just a Decade thing. I'm still going with Knight, though. Like I said, he's willing to fight to the end, but DiEnd isn't.

Knight wins! Now onto the battle for 3rd place!

Let the 3rd place battle begin! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FACTS ABOUT THE RIDERS, AND TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION. PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS JUST A POPULARITY CONTEST.

This battle closes Sunday!

Skull. DiEnd can't stand against anyone in a straight fight, and I'm pretty sure that hat makes Skull's badassery rise by +10.

Well of course, why do you think Indiana Jones always goes back for his hat? :p

Considering two of my favorites fight next round (that will be a tough one), I'm just gonna go with my favorite here. Skull.

Battle goes down like this: DiEnd tries to summon a fake Skull and the fake Skull has so much of the real Skull's badass in him that the fake one joins forces with the real Skull and they smash DiEnd's strange looking helmet in :p
