I went with Birth and Ixa.

Birth is a real powerhouse of a Rider. He's got a huge arsenal and, assuming he has the Cell Medals to power it, he can unleash a whole lot of it at once. Hell, he can even whip up a giant scorpion mech with enough medals. And with Brotou in the suit we have a highly skilled and capable user who can bring out the gear's full potential.

I was going to go with delta for second, seeing as how it was always touted as the most powerful of the three Rider Gear in Faiz (it's only real downside being the limited amount of accessories compared to Kaixa and Faiz). Then I read that it was Mihara in the suit. Yeah... he's screwed. Mihara was a terrible user and is probably best remembered... actually, no. Nobody remembers Mihara. :p

So with Delta out I'm going with Ixa for second. He's got some good weapons, he's got Rising form, and he will fly into a berserker rage if you wave around some buttons. :lol

TheBee... well, thanks for showing up. You look nice, but you're easily the weakest Rider on Kabuto.

Going by series finales, Birth and IXA. Both Gotou and Nago had a ton of determination when it actually came to being a rider. Even then, Date and Otoya would be just fine at handling the others.
I'm not too sure about Delta, but what I've seen of Rider Gear weaponry isn't so impressive.
And I originally laughed my guts out thinking Yaguruma or Kageyama would be fighting, but Masato is actually somewhat formidable. Still, I can't imagine him not pouting and throwing off the armor to become a Worm about five seconds into the fight.

I'm giving it to Ixa. Birth's tools are just that. Tools. That, and his reliance on Cell medals (Note: Satonaka wasn't mentioned, so he has no cover to get more, and it's Gotou, so he doesn't have the barrel of Cell medals, just the backpack) in addition to not fighting Greed or Yummies meaning he probably won't have as many Cell medals as he may need.

I just think Ixa can take down Birth.

EDIT: Derp. I just realized it's top 2. Guess Ixa and Birth get my vote.

Drake? At lest TheBee looked awesome and Kagami got a little action in the suit. Drake was painfully bad.

My vote goes to IXA. I feel IXA has captured the spirit of this battle title more than TheBee and Birth(never seen Faiz so I can't comment on Delta) :lol.

My vote goes to IXA, I liked the half the users, and I just think it is possibly one of the most powerful on this list, although Nago could maybe go head to head with Gotou.

I can't vote for TheBee. Not after the episode Kageyama was a creepy child-stalker. I don't care if Masato is in the suit, I have been scarred.

Birth is cool, but he really doesn't stand out. He may have adaptability, but he has to have Cell Medals.

Mihara... well, he has a gun. And one of the largest and most ludicrous bikes in Kamen Rider history ever.

IXA. IXA, IXA, IXA. If there was one more column on the periodic table, you'd be forever engraved on periodic tables everywhere that utilized Roman Numerals. Anyways, he's 753. Of course he has to be Number 1 (...what?)

birth all the way!

Birth is freaking awesome. Since I know nothing about the other 3, I picked Delta as my second choice because I really like the design.

Hey KamenRiderOOO, you might want to redo this poll. You set it so that people can vote for more than one.

I know, I said pick your top 2.

The problem with TheBee is he never really felt like his own Rider. All the users, except Masato, later got their own Zecters, and Masato used it for what? One fight, maybe? My favorite TheBee user was Yaguruma, but I liked both him and Kageyama better after they got the Kickhopper and Punchhopper Zecters. KaGAmi didn't really change much after getting the Gatack Zecter from how he was when he had the TheBee Zecter, but he also only had for about two episodes. Although I did always see Kageyama as the main user, even though Masato was the TheBee without another Zecter. Point is, I don't think he compares to guys like IXA and Birth who have definite main users, rather than just kinda getting passed around without a definite user. (Haven't seen Faiz beyond the first or second episode, so can't say anything on Delta at the moment.)

Personally I choose IXA and Birth. Mainly because through the seasons of their respective series, it was more prominent. I would go with IXA over Birth. IXA for the history and plot into the device, Birth for its versatility.

Yes and I agree that TheBee was like a trooper usage weapon instead of a personal rider gear/system.

Delta.. was just really underwhelming in the series.

I haven't seen Faiz so I can't really comment on Delta so I left him out of the equation in my vote (yes I know there's a description of his powers in the first post but I didn't see that until I cast my vote :lol) I'm going with The Bee for Clock Up and Ixa as it's a more powerful system than Birth in my opinion. Birth was created mainly to fight yummies and gather their cell medals. Ixa was designed primarily for combat and can even take on the Checkmate Four as Rising while Birth has trouble handling the Greeed.

Proceeding onto the tournament are IXA and Birth!

Kamen Rider Similarities Battle Round 23: Year of The Dragon
 

And this battle takes a look at 3 riders with Dragon Motifs!

Kamen Rider Agito (2001)

VS

Kamen Rider Ryuki (2002)

VS

Kamen Rider Ryuga (Kamen Rider Ryuki, 2002)

Our competitors' stats!
Agito-

• The Alter Ring is a mysterious belt bestowed upon Shōichi by the Over Lord of Light. It holds the "Seed of Agito" and is the source of his power. As he grows in strength, he would unlock its full powers.
• Basic form is Ground Form, with 5 other forms
• Ground Form is the first of Agito's numerous forms. This form harnesses the power of the earth, turning Tsugami's entire body into a lethal weapon, with bone-crushing blows and crippling locks. Of all the forms, the golden Ground Form is the most balanced, with power, speed and strength working in harmony to make the most of its capabilities.
  At its peak, the crest horns upon his head opens, pushing all of Agito's capabilities to their fullest, emanating beneath his feet, into his legs to execute his Rider Kick, a jump kick of incredible raw power and force; with a force of 30-tons, or with the Machine Tornador, the Rider Brake jumping off the Machine Tornador at full speed, and Dragon Breath, which involves ramming the side of the Machine Tornador into the enemy. Ground Form has also been shown to be able to use a Rider Punch.
• Storm Form is the second form of Agito, triggered when Shōichi activated the left switch on the Alter Ring, 'opening' the "Blue Dragon's Eye." The blue "Storm Form" harnesses the power of wind through the left arm, and imparts the form with supernatural agility and reflexes. The most nimble of forms, Storm Agito maneuvers with such swiftness and cunning that its movements parallel foresight.
  This form also carries a signature Storm Halberd- a folding, twin-bladed pole arm that serves as Agito‘s primary means of attack while in Storm Form. But, however superior in overall speed and agility, the Storm Form is by far the weakest in comparison to the other forms, in terms of power and strength. His final attack is Halberd Spin, whipping up a powerful gale by twirling the open Storm Halberd at rapid speeds, blowing away everything in the general vicinity, and gaining swing-momentum for a finishing strike, and with the Machine Tornador, the Halberd Brake.
• Flame Form is the third of Agito's forms to be revealed, triggered by activating the right switch on the Alter Ring, 'opening' the "Red Dragon's Eye." The searing power of flame flows through the right arm and blesses the red body of the Flame Form with incredible strength. Aside from its apparent superiority in the areas of power and defense, the Flame Form possesses phenomenal heightened senses; his senses have increased to point where an enemy's presence - whether distant, hidden, and/or invisible to the naked eye - can be detected with frightening precision.
  This form also has exclusive access to the Flame Saber, using it in his Saber Slash attack which anything he slices with the blade is reduced to ashes, or the stronger Double Saber Slash with an additional Flame Saber to deliver a double saber-stroke attack. With the Machine Tornador, Flame Form is able to use Saber Brake.
• In the brief instance when he was able to recover his memory, Shōichi revealed the power to invoke a new level of transformation possessing extraordinary properties of Ground, Storm, and Flame forms: the Trinity Form. This form's capabilities, a combination of all three, harness the strongest qualities of Agito's powers and execute the forms' finishing attacks. In this form, Agito can wield both Storm Form's Storm Halberd and Flame Form's Flame Saber.
• Burning Form, known as "the power awakening to infinite possibilities," is born when Shōichi learned to channel his fighting spirit into power. The transition was rough on Shōichi's body, as he was virtually incapacitated during the emergence of this new power. But as they manifest, the nature of the power became clear; and it is one not easily controlled. The Burning Form amplifies and translates Agito's fury into power; thus the greater his rage, the more powerful the Burning Form became, as seen in his Burning Rider Punch attack. His signature weapon, the Shining Caliber, is a dual-bladed weapon capable of two modes: Single Mode, as a dual-blade sword and Twin Mode, as paired blades. Burning Form uses the "Single Mode" exclusively for his "Burning Bomber," cutting down the enemy with lethal blazing strokes.
• Most Powerful Form- Shining Form
• Shining Form, also known as the "evolution of infinite possibilities," was awakened by the light of the sun. It was an evolution unlike anything ever anticipated by the Overlord, born when Shōichi molts after having mastered his power in Burning Form. Although the power of his fists remain unchanged, all other attributes being pushed to their peak, making Shining Form Agito's greatest form. In Shining Form, Agito wields the Shining Caliber in Twin Mode as paired blades for his high-speed "Shining Clash" attack. His final attack is Shining Rider Kick, concentrating the Agito Power before him to accelerate to supersonic speeds as he attacks with his strongest flying kick, piercing his enemy with extreme force. In Movie War 2010, it was shown that Agito Shining can also perform the Shining Rider Punch.
• Weaknesses- Unfortunately, when Shōichi once again loses his memory, the power of the Trinity Form was sealed away. Out of all of Agito's forms, Burning Form is the slowest of them all.

Ryuki:

• Can travel through the mirror world
• Can summon Dragredder, his contract monster
• Wields the Strike, Guard, Strange, Shoot and Sword Vent cards
• Most Powerful Form- Ryuki Survive
• Survive is Ryuki's ultimate form, assumed by using the power of Survive Rekka. In this form, Ryuki's Rider Visor transforms into a gun-like weapon called the Drag Visor-Zwei , which can assume Drag Blade mode with the sword opening from the visor like a pocket knife with a blade measuring 1.2m in length. Dragredder become Dragranzer when this happens, capable of becoming a Motorcycle.
• Weakness- Without his Contract Card, he'll revert to Blank form, a weak form.

Ryuga:

• Can travel through the mirror world
• Can summon Dragblacker, his contract monster
• Wields the Strike, Guard and Sword Vent cards
• Weakness- Can be incapacitated if his Advent Deck is taken, can only exist in the real world for a short while before his body starts to disintegrate.

This battle closes Tuesday!

Hint to next battle: Brothers of the King

I still don't see how Agito's any more dragon than Kuuga is.
But yeah, I'd have to go with Agito.

Kuuga is a stag beetle. Agito is the dragon.

Anyway, it seems like you gave us the cliffnotes version of Ryuki and Ryuga's powers compared the the novel that is Agito's (Especially Ryuga's, whose powers essentially say: "He's there too.")

I know motif and matching theme plays a huge role in these, but unlike some others, the ONLY way Ryuki and Ryuga stand a chance is by popular vote rather than legitimate strength.

I know, I'm just saying that there's not a lot of aspects of Agito's design that hint at him having a dragon motif anymore than Kuuga has. There are those little extra horn thingies for when he does his rider kick and goes Burning/Shining, but that's about it, and even then, those aren't even constants in his design.
And I guess the Machine Tornader looks kinda like a dragon in Slider Mode.

i think ryuki would. agitos all melee, ryuki has sword vent, guard vent and then he has his strike vent which is a biggun pretty much, not to mention.... giant. dragon

Agito has weapons, though. The Flame Saber, the Storm Halbred, and the Shining Caliber. With the Machine Tornador's slider mode to get him close, I don't think Ryuki's mid-range advantage is all that great. And once up close, Agito is just a better fighter. Maybe less versatile than Ryuki or Ryuga, but he's stronger and he's much more skilled. And then if Shining Form comes out the other two are just fucked.

like i said, all melee. and dont count survive out. and dragredder would take out tornador

Shining Form literally Rider Kicked God. Ryuki Survive couldn't even match up to Odin.

rider kicked god..... well i know wat im watching next

My thoughts exactly. Survive couldn't match Odin at all. No one could but certainly not Ryuki. I'd have to give this battle to Agito. He's far more powerful and versatile. Ryuga isn't even a footnote here. His sorry ass would probably fade out of existence once Agito kicked him.

Agito is a dragon motif? His emblem kind of looks like a dragon face I guess, but I just don't see it.

Regardless, Agito would beat these two without a lot of trouble.

I voted for Ryuga. Personally, I have not seen Agito and can't see any dragon motif in the design(There wasn't a battle better suited for Agito?), so he's a non-factor in my decision. So comes down to Shinji vs. Shinji as a ruthless killing machine. Ryuga wins that fight IMO.

Ryuki already defeated Ryuga, so that leaves only Agito.

Ryuki does have strength in numbers (but not by much, mind you). Agito also has a lot of power. The only time I've seen Agito in action was in Kamen Rider Decade. Same thing with Ryuki.

But Ryuki has a dragon. And is on a red team (Dragredder and him). He has the statistical advantage. He wins.

Agito is also a huge Mary Sue. So Ryuki.

Agito I will give you...but Ryuki is NO way a Mary Sue...he is blatantly inept, lucks his way through most battles, and most of his luck is called Knight lol.

Which is why my vote goes for Ryuki. Agito is way too overpowered which was a common theme in Kuuga and Agito (Duh). Ryuki feels a heck of a lot more natural as a character because:

1. He's not a fighter and it shows in the suit acting and action
2. A bit of a naive Pacifist. Gets beaten up a lot.
3. Unwavering resolve in his mission. Big props.

Plus Ryuki has those unique Mirror World abilities. And in the Mirror World, there is no God but Kanzaki.

Since when did overpowered = Mary Sue?

Since Overpowered=Mary Sue= Rider Kicks God.

God (okay, technically the Overlord of Darkness) was the final adversary on the show. He'd been there since early on in the series and was well established as the show's villain. Of course Agito was going to Rider Kick him in the end. I just use it as shorthand for how awesome Shouichi is.

Actually, if you want proof that Agito would win this, look no further than the Ryuki Hyper Battle Video. Ryuki goes up against an evil Burning Agito and gets his butt kicked until the real Agito shows up to help him.

DREEAAMM SEQUENCE.

And an extremely Shinji-esque one too. So no dice.

I am amazed that Ryuki is ahead on votes right now, and that Ryuga actually has any votes at all :lol

You have no context on this. The short non-spoiler answer: The Overlord of Darkness is far less invincible than calling him "god" makes him sound. This is what the Hulk would call a "Puny God."

Spoiler answer (contains major spoilers of Agito):
Agito is the power of evolution granted to Humanity (not just the title charater) by the Overlord of Light so that Humanity can one day surpass the Overlord of Darkness (The being that created humans aka "god"). Shouichi (our title Rider) is only the first Agito to evolve to the point that he can damage the Overlord. There are other Agito(s?) in this show and even more potential Agito. An Agito would have surpassed the Overlord eventually, Shouichi is just the first.

On top of that, in one episode, a (at the time) super powerless human was able to damage the Overlord. How this happened was that the G3-X (The only non-Agito Rider in the show) was able to break the Overlord's barrier with his gatling gun. This means that science can damage the Overlord as well. This means the power of Agito isn't even that necessary.

There's more. in the Overlord's final plot, he is rearranging the stars (there's a Fourze joke in there somewhere) to kill humanity. This takes a lot of energy and concentration, requiring him to have guards. Guards defeated in a group effort giving Agito the opening to Rider Kick a weaken Overlord...and the kick doesn't kill the Overlord. In fact the Overlord could've won, he just changed his mind after the final battle (which takes a lot longer to explain).

PS Even if Agito was a "Mary Sue" he'd still kick Ryuki's ass.

PS The Decade versions of both Ryuki and Agito are nothing like the real things. However, the idea of Kamen Rider Lawyer Knights still entains me. :lol

EDIT:
Yeah, I have to agree with that. Dream Sequences are non-canon. However, there is a good point here. Agito's Burning Form is fire based (he's even on fire when to changes to Burning Form). Most of Ryuki's contact beast's attacks are fire based. Burning Form would cancel if not absorb all of that. Agito also can use Wind and Earth elements and harness sunlight energy for Shining Form. Agito has plenty of options to fight Ryuki with.



Btw, in the first post, Agito's weaknesses is missing an item. Agito can not use Shining Form without sunlight. Burning is the highest form Agito can use at night.

A weakness? Really. :rolleyes

Please do tell, how is that not a weakness?

That's because I think in a straight up fight between Ryuki and Ryuga, Ryuga would win.
