!Tropes
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: Because of the botched test of the first Lockseed, Kugai apparently became a higher being.]]
* BigBad: Kugai Kudo, of both ''Duke Gaiden'' and the TieInNovel for the series. [[spoiler: He's also the GreaterScopeVillain for ''Knuckle Gaiden'']].
* {{Cult}}: Kugai leads one called the Black Bodhi Tree. [[spoiler: Specifically, he brainwashes them with copies of his Zakuro Lockseed and turns them into suicide bombers.]]
* CallForward: Much like Tyrant's use of the Dragonfruits Energy Lockseed that had previously debuted in a [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderDriveAndGaimMovieWarFullThrottle crossover movie]] with [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Gaim's immediate successor]], Saver's use of the Blood Orange Lockseed chronologically occurs before Bujin Gaim's reign of terror in the [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderGaimAndWizardTheFatefulSengokuMovieBattle crossover movie]] with [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Gaim's immediate predecessor]].
** Aside from that, his use of the Genesis Core in place of an indicator faceplate to harness and combine the power of two Lockseeds at once chronologically predates Kōta's first use of the [[MidSeasonUpgrade Jimber Arms]] forms, and uses nearly identical mechanics.
* DualWielding: Saver uses both the Saver Arrow and Bujin Gaim's Daidaimaru.
* EvilCounterpart: Kugai is, to a degree, one to Kouta. Both wanted to save the world and became more than human, and both used an Orange Lockseed alongside another Lockseed at some point.
* FarEastAsianTerrorists: Kugai uses brainwashed innocent people as suicide bombers for his operations against Yggdrasil.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Saver's armor is notably uneven due to incorporating parts from two different armors, presumably.
* GodhoodSeeker: Kugai wants this, but [[spoiler:he needs Ryoma's help.]]
* TheManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:Kugai is likely one to Shura.]]
* MeaningfulName: Saver can also be romanized as Savior, both fit Kugai's vision of saving the world.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Kugai twice. First after the experiment that went wrong, and then Takatora thinks he has dealt with him some way into the Gaiden. Ryoma knows better and presumably finishes him off for good. T]].
* ObviouslyEvil: Despite his claims of being a saviour, there's something to be said about the fact that Kugai uses the Blood Orange Lockseed, which has a transformation call roughly translating to, "Path of evil[[note]]''Ja no michi''[[/note]], on stage!"
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Saver's armor is red and black primarily.
* SavingTheWorld: Kugai claims he wants to do this, presumably from [[spoiler: Helheim]].
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: The very end of ''Duke Gaiden'' has Kugai giving Shura a Banana Lockseed. In a weird twist of the trope, the sequel comes right away.]]
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Kugai has the ability to teleport.
* WeaponOfChoice
** EnergyBow and CoolSword: Saver wields the Saver Arrow (his own version of the Sonic Arrow) and Bujin Gaim's version of the Daidaimaru.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: [[spoiler: It seems like Takatora has killed Kugai at one point, but there are still ten minutes or so of the Gaiden left.]]
