This is probably as straightforward as you're going to get from Kaitou!

I'm not sure I'd say it was the "proper" way, just that it makes more sense in this story to filter the various imperiled worlds through one Rider. Blade's fears and desperation stand in for an entire world's desire to survive at all costs. It's more economical, storytelling-wise.
