"[[BloodKnight Being a Rider is fun.]]"

Asakura is not a hero. Nor is he an AntiHero. Nor is he [[BadassDecay misunderstood]]. He is a psychopath, plain and simple.

He is drawn to violence, feeling an unbearable tension that can only be eased through fighting. When confined in a jail cell, he becomes so frustrated that he begins banging his head on the wall until he draws blood. Yet he is not mindless; he is capable of intelligent manipulation and does not make stupid decisions. Kanzaki could not have picked a better Rider; an assessment that is immediately proven when Asakura kills Gai in his first battle as Ouja.

Kitaoka is initially assigned to defend Asakura in court, but the "super lawyer" takes a dislike to his client and smugly tells him that there's nothing he can do. This ignites a rivalry that lasts for the entire series.

Asakura racks up the highest body count of all the Riders, killing Gai, Raia, Imperer and Zolda. When the monsters of Gai and Raia come to exact revenge for the death of their masters, Asakura binds them to his will instead, making him the only Rider with three Contract Monsters and gaining access to all of Gai and Raia's powers. Furthermore, he can use Unite Vent to fuse them into one, creating Genocider, the second most powerful Monster in the series. The disadvantage is that he now has three monsters to feed, something that nearly leads to his death when he starves his monsters and they threaten to devour him.

At the climax of the Rider War, the Japanese police force are given orders to shoot Asakura on sight. But Asakura will not surrender, not until he has killed Kitaoka in battle. And so he faces Zolda in battle, and finally lands the killing blow he had been waiting so long for... only to find out that Gorou had taken Kitaoka's place as Zolda. Asakura could not comprehend it: why he had been robbed of something he had waited so long for and wanted so badly, and why Gorou had selflessly taken Kitaoka's place. Overcome with frustration and rage, he makes a suicide run at the police and is shot down like a dog.

* AxCrazy
* BadAss

* Complete Monster: It's quite hard to find any likable characteristics on him other than his sheer Badassery
* Finishing Move: Veno Crash - Venosnaker launches Ouja at the foe, as he does a scissors kick.

!'''[[KamenRiderRyuki Kamen Rider Ouja]]'''

As a [=SDU=] operator, Stone is trained in all aspects of close quarters battle ranging from unarmed combat to using small arms meant for [=CQB=] scenarios ranging from handguns to submachine guns. This training comes in handy for fighting in tight urban places like downtown Hong Kong although he was also trained to fight in rural areas as well. He is also a capable commander of leading small teams into the fray when needed. Stone speaks English and Cantonese, although he speaks the former more thanks to his mixed background.

Sūn Wùkōng is the name given to this character by his teacher, Patriarch Subhuti, which means "Awakened to Emptiness"; he's also known as the Monkey King. He is born on Flower Fruit Mountain from a stone egg that forms from an ancient rock created by the coupling of heaven and earth. After angering several gods and coming to the attention of the Jade Emperor, he is given a minor position in heaven as the Protector of Horses so they can keep an eye on him. When he realizes that he is not considered a full-fledged god, he becomes very angry. Upon returning to his mountain, he puts up a flag and declares himself the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven." He is placed in charge in guarding the peach gardens, where the peaches in the garden bear fruit every 3,000-years, eating its flesh will bestow immortality, so Wukong eats one and becomes more powerful and matchless. Later, he starts making trouble in Heaven and defeats an army of 100,000 celestial soldiers, led by the Four Heavenly Kings, Erlang Shen, and Nezha. Eventually, the Jade Emperor appeals to Buddha, who detains Wukong under a mountain called Five Elements Mountain. He is later set free when Xuanzang comes upon him during his pilgrimage and accepts him as a disciple. Due to his service in protecting Xuanzang from all threats, Wukong was elevated to Buddahood.

Stone Wong is an officer in the Royal Hong Kong Police Force and the troop commander of its elite anti-criminal/terrorist unit known as the Special Duties Unit. In charge of the unit and its responsibility to defend the British colony from violent crimes and terrorism, he does not care if recruits are able to get in or not but only that they can be in shape and do their job once they are accepted. Even when he's harsh, it's his way to let the men know that he cares for their safety and well-being. As Stone and the rest of the [=SDU=] train together, they are placed in charge of stopping a robbery gang that has plagued Hong Kong, killing a number of policemen as well. In the course of rounding up the gang in a [=RHKP=]-mandated operation to apprehend them, Stone was killed in the line of duty when the gang leader threatened to level his hideout with a Russian [=F1=] grenade and a lot of explosive barrels. While Stone chose to go along, he sacrificed his life by delaying the priming of the grenade before he told Ho Chi Wai, one of his subordinates to escape before the grenade went off. In the Final Option movie (and in the First and New Option movies), he is played by Chinese-American actor Michael Wong.

* Ptitlez03zlkdw: Wukong tried to do so when he was about to fight Sleipner, but he escaped before beatdown occurred.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Prior to being brought by the Variable, Stone had tried to balance his work with the [=SDU=] and time with his girlfriend. It sometimes had good and bad results.

* HyperspaceArsenal: Wukong had no problem getting his staff out to whack down the [=SHIELD=] attack choppers.

* AFatherToHisMen: Really cared for his men that [[spoilers:they mourned his death after being killed in a police operation.]]

His primary weapon is the "will-following golden-banded staff," which he can shrink down to the size of a needle and keep behind his ear, as well as expand it to gigantic proportions. The staff, originally a pillar supporting the undersea palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea, weighs 18,000 pounds, which he pulls out of its support and swings with ease. The Dragon King, unwilling to see a monkey making troubles in his favorite place, also gives him a suit of golden armor. These gifts, combined with his devouring of the peaches of immortality, three jars of immortality pills, and his time being tempered in Laozi's eight-trigram furnace (which gives him a steel-hard body and fiery golden eyes), makes Sun the strongest member by far of the pilgrimage. Wukong can also do a "cloud somersault," enabling him to travel vast distances in a single leap. The monkey, nimble and quick-witted, uses these skills to defeats all but the most powerful of demons on the journey. He possesses an immense amount of strength; he is able to lift his 13,500 jīn (8,100 kg or 17,881 lbs) staff with ease. He is also superbly fast, able to travel 108,000 li (54,000 kilometers or 33,554 mi) in one somersault. Sun knows 72 transformations, which allows him to transform into various animals and objects; he has trouble, however, transforming into other people, because he is unable to complete the transformation of his tail. Each of his hairs possesses magical properties, and is capable of transforming either into a clone of the Monkey King himself, or various weapons, animals, and other objects. He also knows spells that can command wind, part water, conjure protective circles against demons, and freeze humans, demons, and gods alike.

* BeyondTheImpossible: Well, a monkey who can fight you with the ability of using magic, travel great distances in a single bound and run really fast in addition to being immortal and capability of changing appearances? Oh yeah, he can do that stuff.

* FolkHero: His reputation is known to Stone, especially since he has some Chinese origins.

Sūn Wùkōng is the name given to this character by his teacher, Patriarch Subhuti, which means "Awakened to Emptiness" (in the Waley translation, Aware-of-Vacuity); he is called Monkey King. He is born on Flower Fruit Mountain from a stone egg that forms from an ancient rock created by the coupling of heaven and earth. He first distinguishes himself by bravely entering the Cave of Water Curtains on the mountain; for this feat, his monkey tribe gives him the title of "Handsome Monkey-King". After angering several gods and coming to the attention of the Jade Emperor, he is given a minor position in heaven as the Protector of Horses so they can keep an eye on him. When he realizes that he is not considered a full-fledged god, he becomes very angry. Upon returning to his mountain, he puts up a flag and declares himself the "Great Sage Equaling Heaven." Then the Jade emperor dispatches celestial soldiers to arrest Sun Wukong, but no one succeeds. The Jade emperor has no choice but to appoint him to be the patrolman of the heavenly peach garden. The peaches in the garden bear fruit every 3,000-years, eating its flesh will bestow immortality, so Wukong eats one and becomes more powerful and matchless. Later, he starts making trouble in Heaven and defeats an army of 100,000 celestial soldiers, led by the Four Heavenly Kings, Erlang Shen, and Nezha.

His primary weapon is the "will-following golden-banded staff," which he can shrink down to the size of a needle and keep behind his ear, as well as expand it to gigantic proportions (hence the "will-following" part of the name). The staff, originally a pillar supporting the undersea palace of the Dragon King of the East Sea, weighs 18,000 pounds, which he pulls out of its support and swings with ease. The Dragon King, unwilling to see a monkey making troubles in his favorite place, also gives him a suit of golden armor. These gifts, combined with his devouring of the peaches of immortality, three jars of immortality pills, and his time being tempered in Laozi's eight-trigram furnace (which gives him a steel-hard body and fiery golden eyes), makes Sun the strongest member by far of the pilgrimage. Besides these abilities, he can also pluck hairs from his body and blow on them to convert them into whatever he wishes (usually clones of himself to gain a numerical advantage in battle). Although he is a master of the 72 methods of transformation, such as birds, which would give him the ability to fly, he can also do a "cloud somersault," enabling him to travel vast distances in a single leap. The monkey, nimble and quick-witted, uses these skills to defeats all but the most powerful of demons on the journey.

A major comic book fan from a version of America where people aren't all that tall. One fateful day, he and his girlfriend Sylvia were forcibly brought to Movie Land, a parallel dimension that exists on the opposite side of the cinema screen. There, Joe gained the power to transform into a red-clad superhero, and used it to fight against the evil forces corrupting Movie Land & save his girlfriend. A young kid with the alias 'Captain Blue Jr.' may have been involved, but he's not included in all versions of the tale.

Since saving Movie Land, Joe has saved Movie Land again with help from his girlfriend, saved the real world when villains from Movie Land started to appear there, and has fought against both Tatsunoko and Marvel superheroes and villains.

Joe's a pretty easygoing guy, who loves the fact that he's recently been getting chances to fight alongside his favorite comic book, television, and video game heroes. But, despite his fanboyism, he still tries his hardest to use his powers to protect innocent dudes from harm.
