** That goes double (not [[KamenRiderDouble that Double]]) for ''ShinKamenRiderPrologue''. It is ''very much'' an R-rated affair, ''made'' of wall-to-wall FamilyUnfriendlyViolence, FamilyUnfriendlyDeath, and NightmareFuel.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome - Every series had one. ''Every series''.
** Kamen Rider: Any time the Double Riders have to throw down.
** V3: Shiro Kazami eventually starts doing his Henshin on his bike. While going ''downhill'', taking a ''curve''. Best part? Actor Hiroshi Miyauchi crashed the bike while filming the second episode.
** Kagami reveals his CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass nature when trying to save a little boy from the Worm.
** ''Decade'' has a crossover with ''SamuraiSentaiShinkenger''. Yes, Kamen Riders and Super Sentai...and they're samurai!
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTembHS14oA "So there's this giant enemy crab..."]]
**** This could qualify as SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.
***** ''Could''? Try does.



* NightmareFuel - Depends on the series and the monsters contained within. However, it generally applies to Shin, ZO and J for their designs. Also, all Showa riders are no longer human with the exception of Amazon.
** For a series aimed for kids, KamenRiderBlack has pretty scary monster designs. Also, Kotaro's first transformation clearly shows his 'bug-man' stage.
** [[KamenRiderFaiz Orphenochs,]] [[KamenRiderHibiki Makamou,]] and [[KamenRiderDouble Dopants]] have particularly nasty transformations and forms.
** A major plot point in ''Den-O'' was that, if you were removed from the timeline, and nobody remembered you, '''you no longer existed!'''

* {{Macekre}} - ''"Saban's Masked Rider"''. To capitalize on the success of ''PowerRangers'', Saban licensed the already LighterAndSofter ''KamenRiderBlackRX'', dialed the LighterAndSofter elements UpToEleven, and turned it into ''"Saban's Masked Rider"'': a gay old [[AnAesop Aesop-tastic]] romp of a sit-com starring a [[HumanAliens superhero alien]] [[HumansThroughAlienEyes learning about Earth culture]] with his adoptive American Family. Later the editing got so shoddy that at times you could clearly see the original Japanese actors, or the fact that the footage they were splicing in was from a completely different series starring a completely different hero. (Dex is Black RX one scene, J the next! No, they ''don't'' look alike. At all.) To say that Ishinomori was disgusted would be putting it too lightly. Not to mention that the events of the series have been {{Retcon}}ned to be a ShowWithinAShow in ''Power Rangers''.

** What about the organization that started it all? [[WeAreEverywhere Shocker is everywhere]]. If you are in their sights, whether it be a random target or worse, if you're a witness, they will find you. Your home is no longer safe, your friends might be monsters in disguise or already dead, your drinks might even be poisoned--No matter what you do, they will always be five steps ahead. Sure, Kamen Rider 1 or 2 can save the day, but lord forbid you're the first victim of the episode. You know, the one nobody ever saves...

* ParanoiaFuel - ''Ryuki''. Just think about it. Every mirror - hell - every single reflective body you walk past could be a [[PortalNetwork portal]] from which a monster whose only desire is to eat you could emerge from. And don't think it's just that odd piece of glass in the streets, or that puddle of water you need to worry about either. ''Every'' mirror is fair game, even the ones in your home. Really, the only guarantee of survival in the Ryuki world possible if you were just a 'normal' is to lock yourself in at home and cover up every piece of glass.
** ...Or if you somehow found a discarded deck like Shinji did.
** Let's keep going. The monsters are essentially [[ImplacableMan relentless,]] and will never stop hunting you once you are chosen as a target. Lousy luck if you're in the dark about, but if [[OhCrap you are aware of their existence.....]] This applies to Dragon Knight as well, with the trade off of mindless monsters that will eat you at the first opportunity for an organized force that is just waiting for it's shot at conquering the whole damn world, and if not for the Riders, would have succeeded.
** We should also count the series where the monsters can take human form. like the worms of KamenRiderKabuto. They kill the original, and take that person's place. An impersonation so good, that they can fool anyone, [[TomatoInTheMirror including THEMSELVES]]! This means that anyone you know, Father, Mother, Best friend, ANYONE could be a worm in disguise. Lovely thought.

''Kamen Rider Decade'' is showing a good track record with female Riders, and Natsumi gets a suit and survives (albeit in the finale movie only.)
