Of course, just like SS4, Rising Ultimate is non-canon bullshit. The world makes so much sense today. :D

Much like Super Saiyan 4 I've always thought Rising Ultimate was ridiculously awesome.

ill half agree with den-o. Rising ultimate is non-canon but cool

Exactly. :thumb:

And I don't factor Rising Ultimate into this anywhere because the real Kuuga doesn't have a Rising Ultimate form, that one is exclusive to the Decade Kuuga (where it makes no damn sense because he doesn't have any other Rising forms).

Rider Of The Year Tournament- Quarter Finals 3
 

Our current standings-

Kamen Rider Den-O

VS

...
...
...
...

Wait, where's his opponent?

HELLO?!?!?!?! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!

Kamen Rider Decade

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.

Decade:

• Can turn into any previous Main Rider before him and utilize their powers
• Decade's primary weapon is the Ride Booker which has three modes: the default Book Mode, which is placed on the left side of his belt and holds the Rider Cards that Decade uses in his arsenal, Gun Mode which can be used to execute the Dimension Blast finisher and Sword Mode which can be used to execute the Dimension Slash finisher.
• Of his own Attack Ride Cards, he wields the- Invisble Card allowing him to become invisible, the Illusion Card which allows him to create clones; the Blast Card which gives his Ride Booker rapid fire capabilities, and the Slash Card which increases the Ride Booker's slashing ability.
• Can destroy Undead and enter the Mirror World without an Advent deck
• The Machine Decader is Decade's personal Honda DN-01. Like Decade himself, the Decader can assume the form of the respective Rider's Machines. It exhibits this ability when Decade (as Faiz) transforms the Decader into the Autovajin and Side Basshar (as Decade's Violent Emotion).
• Complete Form is the true form of Decade that is able to manipulate the power of other Riders' final forms, accessed through the K-Touch once he regains the powers of all of the Heisei Kamen Riders. Referred to as the "King of the Rider Worlds", he wears the Decade Complete KamenRide Card on his helmet, embedded in the Decade Crown, and the others' KamenRide Cards on his chest. When Complete Form features the most powerful forms of the Heisei Kamen Riders on the cards this version of Complete Form is called Strongest Complete Form.
• Violent Emotion- This form is described as Decade's final transformation into the destroyer of worlds, with Decade's body in a lighter shade of magenta, the eyes assuming a more sinister appearance, and the normally yellow Signal Pointer (the light on Decade's helmet) is violet. While this form appears similar to Decade's normal form, it is drastically stronger, both possessing greater combat capability (enough to go toe-to-toe with Kuuga Ultimate Form and destroy countless other riders) and able to use Attack Ride cards such as Clock Up without having to transform into the associated Rider first.

This Battle Closes Tomorrow!

Damn it. I don't even know which way to go with this one.

You want to go with the Sentai team :p

I almost have to vote Den-O on principal but there's no denying Decades' power. But Den-O is considerably powerful as well. I'd say Den-O has the advantage thanks to variation, but Decade has just as much variation. This would be a crazy close battle if it could happen. Too close to call.

All they have to do is time travel (Something Den-O does often, unlike Kiva) to episode 1 of Decade. Easy win there. :p

Hmm...gonna have to think about this. Momo got his ass kicked by Diend which makes me think he wouldn't fare well Decade but I don't know how a fight factoring in the other Imagin would go. Both riders have a lot of versatility.

I have been waiting for this fight. Decade Wins. Let me explain to you why. For every weapon Den-O has Decade has a more powerful answer. Kiva, Kuuga, Ryuki, Kabuto, and even Den-O himself. Den-O is strong. But what is he going to do against Clock-Up, Ultimate Kuuga, Advent Cards, and everything else Decade can pull off? I'm sorry. Den would put up an excellent fight. But Decade wins this.

And the time-travel arguement makes no sense. What stops Decade from becoming Den-O, taking the Liner, and going back to stop Momo from ever meeting Ry? Exactly. Nothing.

The fact that he doesn't have a Rider Pass? Anyway, I'm voting for Den-O, because those who show up late to a fight don't deserve victory

This is a close one, but I think I'm going to have to go with Decade. Den-O's versatility isn't a big advantage here since Decade can do most of the same things. Decade may not necessarily be much stronger than Den-O, but he does have the larger bag of tricks here. Plus there's also the fact that Tsukasa has a proven track record of being able to annoy Momotaros. I can easily see Momo getting so pissed off that he starts getting sloppy, giving Decade more openings to take advantage of.

No, Decade doesn't get Ultimate Kuuga.

Den-O takes this, by the way.
Why?
Because fuck it. I can give a 10 page essay on why Decade would lose and no one would believe it.

Shockingly, I might. Until you start bashing on Gokaiger again at least. :lol

If Decade loses here I'll zip my mouth about Gokaiger.

But seriously, if anyone wants to pull Decade shenanigans, need I remind you that the Imagin are freaking powerhouses themselves. Momotaros can shrugs off hits like there's no tomorrow, Kintaros can run through entire buildings without slowing, Urataros's rod can freeze opponents in place, Ryuutaros is a rather good shot for all his constant dancing and gunslinging, Sieg can move at superhuman speeds and can shrink people down to an inch.

This fight is NOT just a "Who brought the bigger sword" contest. Momo/Sword fights wildly, using fast strikes for lots of blows. Kin/Axe doesn't fight using just, strong, slow hits. It fights to overwhelm opponents. A wide stance to keep his ground and heavy hits to push opponents back. Ura/Rod makes use of his longer reach and hook and line to keep enemies at bay, with wide arcing swings to have the opponent constantly dodging rather than fighting. Ryuu/Gun is gun spam incarnate. Fast on his feet, fast on the trigger. Sieg/Wing is basically Den-O: Kabuto form. Calm, letting the enemy come to him and to counter their hits, or making use of his increased speed to bring the fight to a confused foe.

"Decade has Clock Up", but Decade's clock up doesn't slow down time like canon Clock Up, but merely increases his own speed, meaning Den-O's perception of him stays the same, the only advent Card Decade has access to that might mean a damn thing is Dragredder, and Den-O has an assault train to handle that, and Den-O can successfully counter anything Decade pulls out.

As for the "Taking the Den-Liner" thing, there's a reason why the Pass exists in the first place.

My hero :) Just dont say anything else bad about Gokaiger and we'll be buds forever!

Wow it's 50/50 now

I couldn't make my mind up who to vote for, I want Den-O to win and since everyone I ever vote for loses so I thought why not vote for decade.

Just to be a devil's advocate...

Couldn't Decade just use the Den-O Final Form Ride card and turn Den-O into Momo regardless of who he's fighting and whoop his un-transformed butt?

:D

But really I'm still conflicted on this one. The versatility of Den-O is starting to win me over, but Decade was such a mary sue I have no idea what could really beat him.

Oh yeah...this is one of those battles that Decade could FFR his opponents :lol

I went with Den O. Not only does he have the variety of fightings styles...but he is possessed by MASTERS of said styles.

Even if Den-O loses this battle, I believe you've won this thread.

Except it doesn't matter, since his FFR isn't a weapon to immobilize Den-O and Momotaros can freely transform into Den-O.

Why thank you :)

Doesn't Decade have Den-O powers? In that case, Decade would clearly be stronger... no contest.

Does a child holding two swords outclass a swordsman holding one?

You tell me. I don't normally let small children play with sharp swords. Just saying.

Decade isn't some novice with the powers. He knows how to use each Rider, including Den.

Actually, Decade had a pretty poor time with the Den-O powers if I remember rightly :lol

Against what I thought would be my original judgement I'm backing the train king. Matrix gives a compelling argument.

You're right, plus he can only FFR Momotaros. What's to say the other Taros don't just step in when that happens

Clock Up never slowed down time- it only increases the speed of the user to a level where time seemed to have slowed. Furthermore, Decade does have access to Ultimate Kuuga if he utilizes Complete Form. Now, I like Den-O. I really do. But he is going to get creamed, DenLiner or no DenLiner.

That depends entirely on how willing the swordsman is to stab a child. :p

No. It's the difference between Date knowing how the Birth suit works and Gotou reading the fucking manual to it.

I know how to pull the trigger to a gun, therefore I'm a master gun shooter.
That's the leap in logic you're applying.

I'm only basing this on the directing. This being a visual media, it's easy to make this kind of mistake.
Kabuto always made it a point to show that the world around them slowed to a crawl, while Decade only explicitly showed Clock Up to solely affect the individual.
In the media of "Show, don't tell" it's a common mistake.

Wonderful~

I think this might be the first time for these Rider Polls when Switchblade's opinion doesn't win. :lol

a) I don't really have a horse in this race and don't really care either way.
2) You obviously weren't watching my votes back in the qualifying rounds. :lol

I'm not at all sure how things got this way. I thought people would for sure assign Den-O the same "doofy brawler" status that they're so quick to throw at Fourze, and Decade would win by a considerable margin because he's the Gokaiger of Kamen Rider, but I guess not. I'm going for Den-O either way, simply because he has a lot more fighting experience and tends to focus more on attacking than being stylish or edgy, unlike Tsukasa.

Wow, a tie lol. Someone break it!

But I'm so conflicted! Dx

Buahahaha!! Climax!

I really do think it just all comes down to who can answer more of their opponent's threat. It's just like playing magic, if you have a deck with more answers than a very limited opponent then you have an instant advantage. Sure it also comes down to the user, but I think on a fighter level they are pretty evenly matched. However I think we can agree that decade has the better and more versatile deck. Meaning the cards should be stacked in his favor.

Matrixbeast always has good posts in these battles.

Quoted for truth

But here's the thing, this is a battle between riders. Sure Den-O has the back up, but the point of the battle is no outside help I feel. If it included outside help, Diend just summons J and we get Decade's final kamen ride and become a giant.
