5----
6[[folder: In General]]
7!Tropes relating to all four:
8* AnimalMotifs
9** Kamen Rider Showa: A cicada. Possable shout out to ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''.
10** Kamen Rider Liger: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Take a guess]].
11** Kamen Rider Necros: An Anubis. Or more accurately, a jackal.
12** Kamen Rider Mega: A firefly.[[note]]His motifs become a lion, a pegasus and a Chinese dragon when he enters Inferno Leo, Diamond Pegasus, and Storm Dragon forms receptively.[[/note]]
13* BadPowersGoodPeople: Shinichi and Leon. The former [[spoiler:was made to be the Ultimate PersonOfMassDestruction]], and the latter has abilities that revolve around death, not to mention that he also has the powers of every Dark Kamen Rider to exist. In spite of this, both are very nice boys and many girls keep falling for them.
14* BerserkButton: All four main Riders share the same button, and it's labeled "HARM THOSE WHO THEY CARE ABOUT".
15* {{Chick Magnet}}s
16* DisposableWoman: Shinichi, Yuji '''and''' Leon '''all''' have a dead girlfriend in their background to give them quick angst.
17* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Leon considers himself as a monster, considering that all of his past friends had died and he may have been factor. Yuji hadn't been with another girl, [[BrotherSisterIncest other than his sister]], since the death of his first girlfriend. And Netto was previously angry at Daichi for blaming Shinichi for the actions of Gebok, which somehow reminded him of some "close-mind bigots" who scarred his then-innocent mind.]]

21[[folder: Kamen Rider Showa]]
22!!Shinichi Sanban Banabara/Kamen Rider Showa/[[spoiler:BLACK 13]] (XIII/#13)
23----
24* AesopAmnesia: The payoff for two or three arcs is realizing he doesn't have to do everything by himself and it's okay to let his friends help him. Soon he's back to needing to learn it again.
25* AllYourPowersCombined: Legacy Mode, which combines the powers of all 13 Riders. [[spoiler:Fourteen now that Kamen Rider Shin is included]].
26* TheAtoner: Wants to make up for the killings he committed under Gebok's mind control, shouldering all the responsibility himself. However...
27* BadassNormal: Shinichi is capable of fending off Sonix, Zero, and Armadillo without his armor. He does this again with the rival monsters he scorned when he returns to Youkai Academy.
28* TheBerserker: BLACK 13, [[spoiler:or at least the Anti-Rider program chip used to make him act that way before Kurumu fried it]]. Shinichi becomes like a relentless beast whose only purpose is to destroy other Riders. Shinichi also ends up like this when pushed too far by an imminent threat to either himself or those he cares about.
29* BlackEyesOfEvil: Not exactly evil per se, but Shinichi's eyes do occasionally turn black when he's starting to get seriously angry.
30%%* BlowYouAway: As Ichigo, Nigo, V3, and Skyrider.
31%%* CreepyGood: When he's angry.
32* TheCasanova: A mild example. Whenever he complements a lady, he does so with honesty.
33* ChivalrousPervert: Shinichi respects the females he's with even if he does appreciate the view.
34* CrossDresser: When he was a little kid. His mom thought he looked adorable in dresses so she dressed him up in frilly dresses. He was embarrassed to see this included in the DVD.
35* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: His indigo hair and eyes.
36%%* DarkIsEvil: BLACK 13.
37%%* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:Until you learn his HiddenDepths...]]
38%%* DoNotCallMePaul:
39* {{Doppelganger}}: After the fiasco with the mermaids, Shinichi is assumed to be one.
40* DreamSequence: During the First Term arc, Shinichi unlocked a new Rider each chapter by having a daydream (usually in the middle of battle) where he meets the Rider whose power he was going to unlock.
41* ElementalPowers: Shinichi gains an elemental power depending on what Rider he changes to:
42* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Shinichi acquires the Mana Stone, a gem that has the essence of a Supreme Manakyte, during his battle with Hokuto, briefly transforming into a human/Manakyte hybrid.]]
43* EnergyWeapon: [[spoiler:Linking with the Cicadroid allows him to use [[PaletteSwap green versions]] of BLACK 13's energy weapons.]]
44* ExpressiveHair: Shinichi's HairAntennae can twitch around whenever his DangerSense kicks in. They can also move on their own whenever he feels embarrassed or flustered.
45* EyeBeams: BLACK 13 can fire lasers from his eyes.
46* FacePalm:
47** Shinichi does this after Yukari announces her intentions towards Shinichi and Moka to his fellow NUMBERS.
48** He later does it again chapter 50 after learning that [[Videogame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]], Yokai Academy's guidance counselor, has the hots for Yuji.
49* FinishingMove: Like his [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Heisei Counterpart]], Shinichi can use any of the finishing moves of the riders he transforms to.
50** ''w/ Vulcan Shooter'': "''Rider Shooting''" [[note]]Showa fires swarming beams of energy burst from his weapon.[[/note]]
51** ''Showa Higurashi Mode'': "''Rider Burst Kick''" [[note]]Showa Higurashi Mode flies into the air before propelling himself downward with his wings emitting energy, giving more power to his drop kick.[[/note]]
52** ''BLACK 13'': A powerful Rider Kick equal to the Rider Burst Kick.
53** '''Legacy Charge''', activated by [[GoldenSuperMode Showa Legacy]] attaching the [[TransformationTrinket Legacy Driver]] to the Legacy Saber, or by twisting up the Legacy Driver on his Spark Core:
54*** ''Legacy'' 1: "''Rider Legacy Burst''" [[note]]Showa Legacy Mode draws in 13 Showa Riders' Symbols into Gun Mode and fires 13 simultaneous shots. The shots reform into the 13 riders which attack the target as they pass by before Showa Legacy finishes with a Rider Slash with the Legacy Saber Sword Mode.[[/note]]
55*** ''Legacy'' 2: "''Rider Legacy Slash''" [[note]]Showa Legacy Mode charges up his Legacy Saber in Sword Mode and swings, sending the spirits of the Showa Era Riders at the target. They then slash with copies of the Legacy Saber before Showa finishes it off with his own attack. A variation of this finisher draws in 14 golden rings imprinted with the Rider Symbols into the Legacy Saber Sword Mode and Showa performs a Rider Slash at the target.[[/note]]
56*** ''Legacy]]'' 3: "''Rider Legacy Kick''" [[note]]Showa Legacy Mode generates 14 golden rings with each possessing one of the 13 Showa Riders' symbols and his own between him and his target and he descends through them, gaining more speed and power as he performs a drop kick at the target.[[/note]]
57* FunWithAcronyms: BLACK 13 stands for '''B'''lack '''L'''egion '''A''''ssault '''C'''haos '''K'''iller '''13'''.
58%%* GoldenSuperMode:
59%%** Legacy Mode.
60%%** In the finale, [[spoiler:[[InfinityPlusOneSword Higurashi Legacy Mode]]].]]
61* GoodScarsEvilScars: Shinichi has a very distinctive scar over his left eyebrow. It looks like the Roman numeral for 13; XIII.
62* HeroicBSOD: Shinichi falls into a coma [[spoiler:after seeing the face of his first love, Lina, a psychic girl who he was tricked into killing, now revived as a cyborg and the Jager Unit commander. His mind couldn't bare the information.]]
63* HeroicSafeMode: Under intense stress from what he senses as an imminent threat to his life or to that of someone he cares for, Shinichi lapses into a kind of fugue state where his fighting instincts completely dominate his body and mind and he becomes a much more brutally efficient combatant, as there is nothing else on his mind except for vanquishing the immediate threat.
64%%* IAmWho: Shinichi goes through this for the first several arcs.
65* IdentityAmnesia: Shinichi is unable to remember anything about himself except for his name. [[spoiler:It later turns out it was Topper's handiwork.]]
66* InstantExpert: Whenever Showa unlocks a new Rider, he instantly knows how to use their powers without any practice. He knows all their techniques, skills and abilities.
67* InTheNameOfTheMoon:
68** When Showa first turned into Legacy Mode he said, "Piercing the Darkness! The Heir of the 13 Kamen Riders of Legend! Kamen Rider Showa… Legacy Mode!"
69** [[spoiler:When he reassumes it (albeit upgraded) in the season one finale, he says, "Piercing the Darkness and Cutting Through the Skies! The Heir of the Kamen Riders of Legend! Kamen Rider Showa…Higurashi Legacy Mode...! ON STAGE!"]]
70* KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler:Well, not exactly "love", but #13 did think fondly of his fellow NUMBERS. When he realized what he was made to do, he went ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge insane]].'']] [[spoiler:Taken to an even higher level after being tricked into killing Lina. [[UnstoppableRage And then he began killing everything else]].]]
71* LaserBlade:
72** The Laser Saber, which can also become a Laser Staff, [[DoubleWeapon when another blade comes out the other end of the handle.]] [[spoiler:Also, allowing the Cicadroid to connect on his back allows him to use a [[PaletteSwap green version]] of [[SuperpoweredEvilSide BLACK 13]]'s energy blades, even down to their whip function.]]
73** BLACK 13 can create Energy Blades from his arms and legs, which can extend into whips.
74* LaserGuidedTykebomb: [[spoiler:Apparently, Shinichi was designed from the very beginning to destroy all orignal Kamen Riders.]]
75* LegacyHero: Shinichi has inherited the powers of the Legendary (Showa Era) Kamen Riders.
76* LethalChef: BLACK 13. He doesn't care about flavor; only nutrients matter. His cooking could taste like sewer water for all he cares as long as it was healthy.
77* LikeBrotherAndSister: Is this to [[Manga/PrincessResurrection Hime, Reiri]], [[Literature/HighSchoolDXD Rias, and Akeno]].
78* MegaManning: As Showa, Shinichi as the ability to transform into any one of the Showa Era Riders (minus [[Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue Kamen Rider Shin]], [[spoiler:though it's later subverted when he attained him in chapter 67. Even Shinichi doesn't know how he acquired him.]]). Showa also has an ability called "Form Ride" that allows him to let anyone use the body and powers of any Showa Era Rider of his choosing (a la Final Form Ride from ''Decade''). The first time he used it was on Inner Moka, and she became Kamen Rider Ichigo. For Mizore, she became Denpa Ningen Tackle.
79%%* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Gives one to the fanboys.
80* PaletteSwap: [[spoiler:The Cicadroid can grant Showa green versions of BLACK 13's energy weapons.]]
81* PhlebotinumRebel: Becomes one after [[spoiler:Gebok forced him to kill his own comrades and his first lover.]]
82%%* PlayingWithFire: As Super-1 using the Hot/Cold Hands.
83%%* ThePowerOfTheSun: As BLACK and BLACK RX.
84%%* RedEyesTakeWarning: Another indication that he's getting angry. Its also a warning for his eye beams.
85* {{Revenge}}: Shinichi wants to get back at GIN-SHOCKER for what they did to him and the other NUMBERS. His friends, Yuji and Inner Moka especially, are willing to back him up.
86%%* ShellShockedVeteran
87%%* ShockAndAwe: As V3 and Stronger.
88%%* SplitPersonality: [[spoiler:BLACK 13/Kuro Juusan]]
89* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler:When in the presence of another Kamen Rider, Shinichi's "Anti-Rider" protocols activate, transforming him into a black-armored berserker mode called BLACK 13, which will stop at nothing to kill the other Rider and will even tear apart anything or anyone perceived to be in his way. But Kurmuru's Charm ablilty seemed to disable that programing. Well, not anymore.]]
90* SuperEmpowering: As a side effect of his MegaManning ability with the Showa-era Kamen Riders, Shinichi can temporarily transfer the powers of one Showa Rider into another person, creating a "Form Ride" that transforms said person into a replica of the Rider in question. As he's so far only done it with the members of his harem, this has created plenty of [[RuleSixtyThree Gender-Flipped Kamen Riders]] to fight alongside Showa.
91* SwissArmyWeapon: The Legacy Saber possess a [[TheGunslinger Gun Mode]] and a [[CoolSword Sword Mode]].
92* TakingYouWithMe: Shinichi tries doing this to Phantom/[[spoiler:Lina]] in one chapter, but is unsuccessful.
93* ThatManIsDead: Shinichi claims this as the reason why he won't use his birth name (Shinji), as GIN-SHOCKER already robbed him of his humanity (and by extension, his life as a human being). Though he lets this slide with his mother and his childhood friends.
94%%* ThirteenIsUnlucky: ''Big time''.
95%%* TimeMaster: Implied to be Showa's power.
96* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Milk and honey, shared with his mother.
97* WholesomeCrossdresser: In Shinichi's defense, people can barely tell the difference between boys and girls at very young ages.
98* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Shinichi is revealed to have a fear of dolls (mostly due to their eyes), which stemmed from him going to a doll museum with his mother, Hime, and Reiri in his childhood. In fact, he was even scared when Hime dressed as a Victorian-era doll in one chapter.
99--> "Those dolls were EVIL! Their eyes were just staring at me and I swear that a few one of them moved!"
100%%* YouAreNumberSix

106
107----
108* TheAce: Played straight.
109* [[spoiler:AdaptiveArmor: As of Tail 8 of ''Tails of the Liger'', the Liger System turns out to be one, as it activated Torrent Form as soon as it recognized Yuji was in the ocean.]]
110* AnimeHair: He gets this from his father.
111* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Is the oldest and most authoritative for most of the series even before becoming head of Vongola, and has the most personal power and destructive potential of any of the heroes.

113* BlackEyesOfEvil: [[spoiler:Gains this whenever his alter ego, Abyss, takes over.]]
114* CantHoldHisLiquor: Fortunately, he becomes a DrunkenMaster.
115* CulturedBadass: The story certainly tries to paint him this way with how everyone respects him for his thoughtful opinions and deep insights, plus skills like playing multiple instruments and a strategy game with lots of intricate little rules. At times, like when his date asked him to order for her at a restaurant because of his refined tastes he got her a BLT, or his penchant for cussing a blue streak at the drop of a hat, it's hard to tell if they were going for humorous aversions, though.
116* DragonsAreDivine: Fully-evolved manakytes are on a tier comparable to divine beings.
117* DrunkenMaster: Becomes this when [[InVinoVeritas under the influence of alcohol]], first shown in ''Tails of the Liger'' near the climax of his date with Hana. Luckily Shinichi can sober him up by striking his pressure points, as shown during their duel in the Sports Fest tournament.
118* FinishingMove: '''Full Charge''', activated by Kamen Rider Liger pressing a button on his belt:
119** ''Zero Form'' and ''Jager Form'': "''Strike Laser Claw''" [[note]]Liger Zero or Liger Jager runs toward his target and slashes his opponent with an energized claw.[[/note]]
120** ''Schneider Form'': "''Buster Slash''" [[note]]All of Liger Schneider's blades extend outward and he charges at the opponent, slicing through them as he passes by.[[/note]]
121** ''Panzer Form 1'': "''Hyper Cannon''" [[note]]The Twin-Barreled Laser Cannon on his right arm charges up and fires a blast of red energy with a slight recoil.[[/note]]
122** ''Panzer Form 2'': "''Burning Big Bang''" [[note]]Liger Panzer opens up all of his missile silos fires all of his missiles at the same time.[[/note]]
123** ''Torrent Form'': "''Poseidon Force''" [[note]]Liger Torrent fires a powerful burst of ocean blue energy from his Callidus at the target.[[/note]]

126* InSeriesNickname: Called "Spiky-kun" by Michiru [[spoiler:and "Aniki" by Shinichi upon learning their relation]].
127* MrFixit: Yuji owns his own bike shop, "The Dragon's Den", where he fixes automobiles and builds custom bikes.
128* PlayingWithFire: His Manakyte element, passed down from his mother.
129* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler:What Abyss does to the four NUMBERS that attacked him and Misato/Seras. To quote, King has his body burned by {{Hellfire}} and his Spark Core destroyed and Petrifier was devoured in one gulp by Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon. Specially noted to Bomber and Parasyte, whose limbs are torn apart by the Red-Eyes Black Hydra and heads eaten by said creature. They will NOT be missed.]]
130* RedOniBlueOni: Red to Yuki's Blue.
131* [[MechaExpansionPack Rider Expansion Pack]]: Suzaku, a phoenix-like mecha, can combine with Liger Zero to form Liger Zero Phoenix Mode.
132* [[spoiler:RedRightHand: Gains an armored demonic arm in season 2 after having his real arm chopped off by Montesinos and Phobist.]]
133* SexySaxMan: Played the saxophone piece of the song "Brick Ballades" from ''Anime/TheBigO''.
134* SingingInTheShower: Does this when bathing alone, which probably isn't that often after joining the story.
135* SirSwearsALot: Who else but Yuji? Lampshaded and discussed by Shiroha and Kurumu in season 2, chapter 2.
136* TrainingFromHell: Implied in one chapter.
137-->"You should try getting shot at by your own father, slashed at by one of your uncles, and being blown up by one of your other uncles' rocket launcher as training. That'll really make you piss your pants for a while."
138* [[spoiler:UnexpectedSuccessor: A motorbike mechanic like him would be the last person people would expect to become a mafia boss. Then again so was [[Manga/Reborn2004 Tsuna]].]]
139* WeaponTropes:
140** WolverineClaws: Liger's main weapon in Zero Form and Jäger Form.

152!!Netto Kusanagi/Kamen Rider Mega

166* PreMortemOneLiner: "Time for immediate de-resoultion!"
167* {{Technopath}}: Netto has the abliity to manipulate any type of machine. Understandably [[ForgottenPhlebotinum forgotten]] rather quickly considering what a StoryBreakerPower that should what with how most of the villains are cyborgs.
168* TronLines: Appears on Netto's eyes when ever he uses his technopathic powers.
169** And Kamen Rider Mega sports these on his chest armor.
170* {{Uke}}: To his girls' {{Seme}}. It even gets lampshaded in chapter 62.
171* WeaponTropes:
172** KatanasAreJustBetter: The Photon Debugger, a silver katana with a gold hilt, with [[TronLines circuity patterns]] that [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience changes color depending on his current form]] running through the blade.

177[[folder: Kamen Rider Necros]]
178!!Leon Smith/Kamen Rider Necros
179
180----
181* {{BFS}}: The Ankh Sword, which is basically [[ShapedLikeItself a giant]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Ankh]].
182* CannotTellAJoke: Invoked after listening to Yuji's plan in season 2.
183-->'''Leon:''' "Alright, now we have to save them...so I can kick Yuji's ass for underestimating me."
184-->'''Daichi:''' "If I were you, I'd take it as a compliment. Blowing shit up is all he ever sees you do."
185-->'''Leon:''' "I was joking."
186-->'''Hana:''' [[LampshadeHanging "You suck at comedy."]]
187* CreepyGood: WordOfGod says that he's the most intimidating protagonist.
188* DarkIsNotEvil: Leon's Rider System is based on death and who has the ability to mimic the forms and abilities of various "Dark Kamen Riders," but he is most pointedly one of the good guys.
189* DeadpanSnarker: See {{Troll}} below.
190* [[spoiler:DeathSeeker]]
191* GogglesDoNothing: Like a lot of adventurous boys in anime shows he constantly wears goggles on his forehead. The one time he actually puts them on is a time when he spars with Shinichi, but he actually goes out of his way to warn Shinichi that nothing better happen to the goggles because they were a gift and he might forget he's a gentleman if they're broken (as opposed to wearing a pair he doesn't mind ruining).

197* SinisterScythe: His Zanpakuto, Kage no Shi, takes the form of one upon calling the BadassCreed.

199* StealthHiBye: Leon does this often.
200* {{Troll}}: He can be a real smartass when he wants to.
201* WouldHitAGirl: It's the code of the Smith men to [[WouldntHitAGirl never fight a woman]] unless it was utterly impossible. Unfortunately, Kenpachi is able to uninstall this out of him as it didn't matter to Squad 11 if the opponent was male or female. A fight is a fight and that was it so it is best to enjoy it to the fullest.
