Characters appearing in Kamen Rider Movie War Core
Nobunaga
Nobunaga
Portrayed by: Kengo Ohkuchi (live), Keikou Sakai (voice, Greeed), Eitoku (suit, Birth), Jun Watanabe (suit, Greeed)
- Alas, Poor Villain: After he heals a crippled Yoshino, his already decaying body gets worse. Maki then uses three black Core Medals to cause him to go berserk. In the end, he's put down by OOO Sagozou Combo, and dies by turning into coins.
- Animal Motifs: His core medals are based on Arthropods, and his Greeed form has a crab claw, shrimp mustache, and scorpion legs on his armor..
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Being a warlord full of desire to conquer all, he does not understand why Eiji is content with just his simple drifter lifestyle.
- Foil: He is portrayed as the opposite of Eiji. Nobunaga always looked at the big picture and wanted to own everything he could set his eyes on. Eiji looked more at the present and enjoyed the simple things, like the fact the sky is blue. This sparks some confusion for Nobunaga.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: Invoked. One gets the idea that Nobunaga already has a gameplan for rebuilding his empire in any situation.
- Historical Beauty Update: Ignoring the Greeed form, anyway.
- Historical Villain Upgrade: He's a lot more villainous than the original Nobunaga.
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: After absorbing three Black Core Medals, he begins to go out of control and begs Eiji to put him down.
- Instant Expert: Despite being from the 16th century, only one visit to the library gives Nobunaga super hacking skills. When an IT company he visits has a bug in their software that would take 2 hours to fix, Nobu simply fixes said bug in less than half a minute.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Notably averted, as the Greeed carrying a katana in a movie with someone named for Oda Nobunaga would have been a blatant clue. Which actually crosses into
Fridge Brilliance knowing that Nobunaga himself was a bit welcoming of Western culture. - MegaCorp: He wanted to set one up by buying every corporation he set his eyes on, and even planned on buy the Kougami Foundation. Too bad his body wouldn't last that long.
- One-Winged Angel: When absorbing the Black Core medals mutates him further into a Shogun-like form.
- Our Homunculi Are Different: He is the cell-medal based replica of the original Nobunaga. He also has the power to assume a Greeed-like form, complete with his own core medals, which is why he is on this list.
- Pet the Dog: After Yoshino is crippled, he manages to heal her - but it's Cast from Hit Points.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: While he's put down by Eiji, the three Black Core Medals overflow with his greed, fusing with the Memory Gaia Memory that absorbed the battle of Skull against the Spider and Bat Dopants to become Kamen Rider Core.
Yoshino Akechi
Yoshino Akechi
Portrayed by: Sayako
A descendant of Akechi Mitsuhide, the man who killed Nobunaga. Wishes to be a dancer.- Historical Hero Upgrade: Downplayed. She's as close to Mitsuhide as Nobunari is to Oda in Real Life.
Giru
Giru
Portrayed by: Kenji Hamada (voice)
The original Dinosaur Greeed who appeared in Movie War Core. His Yummies are the antithesis of those created by the other Greeed, intending to destroy all desire. Due to Movie War Core being a Non-Serial Movie, he never shows up in the series proper. At least, not as his own character...- Animal Motifs: Dinosaursnote
- Meaningful Name: His name comes from uragiru, meaning "to betray", as his medals and Yummies are the opposite of desire rather than representing it, thus betraying what the other Greeed embody.
- No Name Given: Sort of. His name is mentioned in The Movie, but he is credited as the Dinosaur Greeed.
- Omnicidal Maniac: According to Kougami, Giru is this by his very nature and the antithesis of creation itself Fitting it's Maki who ultimately becomes him.
- Power of the Void: Giru's Yummies are created through inanimate objects, rather than people, being true to his theme of nothingness.
- The Voice: When he shows up to create a Yummy in Movie War Core, we see the scene entirely from his perspective and don't get any hint as to what he looks like, hearing only his voice.
Kamen Rider Core
Kamen Rider Core
Portrayed by: Fumihiko Tachiki (voice)
- All Your Powers Combined: Formed from the knowledge of all previous Kamen Riders. Which, for some reason, results in him being on fire.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Joins Kamen Rider J as one of the largest known Kamen Riders.
- Eldritch Abomination: The result of combining the Memory Memory and the black Core Medals, along with a crystallized form of the earth's data in the earth's core.
- Energy Weapon: Has the ability to fire these.
- Floating Limbs: Some of his limbs aren't connected to his body.
- Playing with Fire: In addition to being absolutely massive, he's on fire.
- Scarf of Asskicking: Being formed from knowledge of past Kamen Riders, it's no surprise that he has one. His also happens to be on fire.
- Transforming Mecha: Not really a mecha, but he's able to convert part of his body into a giant flaming motorcycle.
Characters appearing in OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider
Shocker Greeed
Shocker Greeed
Portrayed by: Hideo Ishikawa (live), Jun Watanabe (suit)
- Animal Motifs: Is based off an eagle, as in the eagle shown on the Shocker symbol.
- Composite Character: In-universe example; a combination of monsters from the first series with a monster from the most recent.
- The Dragon: To the Great Leader of Shocker.
- For Want Of A Nail: He is the nail.
- Gas Mask Mooks: His face is a gas mask.
- The Worf Effect: Is shown to be powerful enough to defeat the Double Riders. Gets on the receiving end later when they have their rematch.
Great Leader of Shocker
The Great Leader of Shocker
Portrayed by: Gorō Naya (voice)
- Adaptational Badass: The original didn't put up much of the fight, this one takes all the Riders to finally put down.
- Big Bad: of the original Kamen Rider series and OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider.
- Cyclops: His true form only has one eye.
- Evil Overlord: After the defeat of the Kamen Riders, he rules over the earth with an iron first.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: His first form is defeated when OOO uses a combo that includes the Shocker Greeed's Core Medal.
- One-Winged Angel: Transforms into the Rock Great Leader after OOO defeats his normal form.
- Snake People: His head is pretty much a mass of snakes.
Characters in Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals
"The Shogun"
Tokugawa Yoshimune
Portrayed by: Ken Matsudaira
- Authority Equals Asskicking: As consistent with the portrayal of Yoshimune across Japanese fiction, both in print and multimedia.
- Badass Normal: Even at the meta level, as all those years swordfighting in a Jidaigeki Long Runner have remained with the actor.
- It Was a Gift: Variation. The Reptile Core Medals were given to him by a foreign emissary; he passes them on to Eiji just as he needs them.
- Katanas Are Just Better: He wields a katana to fight against Gara's mookds.
- Lantern Jaw of Justice: Sports a prominent, squared chin.
- No Name Given: In a way. He goes by his incognito name Tokuda Shinnosuke here - it's up to anyone who recognizes the actor, that pseudonym, the family symbol and if all fails, the theme from Abarenbo Shogun to figure out who he really is.
- Shaming the Mob: A rather subtle case, but he comes to Eiji's defense when the paranoid townsfolk of his time try to accuse him of not being human to justify running him out. Unlike some cases of this trope he does it calmly by pointing out that Eiji purposefully didn't avoid an attack just so that the villagers behind him, the villager calling for him to be run out included, wouldn't be hit.
- With My Hands Tied: Deliberately battles with his sword in Reverse Grip, a technique some may find familiar.
Gara
Gara
Portrayed by: Miki Sakai (live), Ryuzaburo Otomo (voice, kaijin), Yuugo Fujii (suit)
- Big Bad: Of the movie.
- Dragon Ascendant: Was one of the alchemists who served the original OOO and created the Greeed for him. After the death of his boss, he waited 800 years and became the Big Bad himself.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Justified. While the character is male, he is portrayed by a woman because he possessed one.
- Godhood Seeker: Seeks to obtain this where the first OOO failed.
- Gone Horribly Right: In using Eiji's desire to fill up the cell medals container.
- One-Winged Angel: Transforms into a powerful, Greeed-like monster by absorbing Cell Medals. After losing in that form, he does it again and transforms into a giant monster.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Was sealed away in his tomb until he was reawakened in modern day.
- The Worf Effect: Gives OOO a hard time, but Fourze has little trouble dealing with him. Unlike other examples, Fourze doesn't finish him off.
Bell
Bell
Portrayed by: Karin Ogino
- Advertised Extra: Appears in all the Net Movies. Her role in the film isn't as big as that might suggest.
- Kawaiiko: Perky and cheerful, which they use to their advantage to inspire people to make deals.
- Perky Female Minion: They're constantly cheerful, happily serving Gara.
- Rule of Three: Three identical ones, just because.
- Villainous Harlequin: They wear harlequine-esque outfits, and are servants of Gara, the Big Bad of the film.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We only see one of them get destroyed.
Characters appearing in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Megamax
Michal Minato/Kamen Rider Aqua
Michal Minato/Kamen Rider Aqua
Portrayed by: Atsushi Arai (live), Eitoku (suit)
A Kamen Rider from 40 years into the future, who transforms with the Aqua Driver.Tropes that apply to him in general
- 11th-Hour Ranger: The final act of Movie Wars MegaMax shows him coming back to present time to help the Riders against Foundation X's forces, and giving Eiji the Super Tatoba medals.
- Cool Boat: Owns a jet ski named the Aqua Miraider.
- Demonic Possession: He's the victim of one, courtesy of Poseidon.
- Hero of Another Story: He is a man who is destined to become a Kamen Rider to fight monsters 40 years in the future.
- Ironic Fear: Ironically, despite being a water-themed Rider, he's afraid of water. He manages to overcome it in the end.
Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Aqua
- 11th-Hour Ranger: Returns in the final act of Movie Wars Megamax to aid the heroes against Foundation X.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: As Aqua he doesn't have a weapon and fights with bare handed instead.
- Finishing Move: Oceanic Break and Aqua Vortex. Both are Rider Kicks.
- Retraux: His design deliberately invokes Kamen Rider 1 and, more broadly, the Showa Rider designs.
- Super Mode: Kamen Rider Poseidon was originally intended to be this for him, but the Core and Cell Medals sent into the future caused the Medals to become sentient.
- Statistically, Kamen Rider Aqua is actually much stronger and faster than Kamen Rider Poseidon, so the use of the latter is entirely due to Aqua's hydrophobia preventing him from approaching water, which is necessary for his transformation. Poseidon isn't a Super Mode to him so much as a mode that's easier to use.
- Took a Level in Badass: Was constantly getting his butt kicked in the future due to his fear. Eiji helps him overcome it and then he helps defeat Poseidon.
- In the latter half of the film, he defeats a copy of a full-power Kazari, proving that he really does deserve the mantle of Kamen Rider.
- Water-Triggered Change: Minato transforms into Kamen Rider Aqua by letting his belt absorb water from the nearest water source during his Transformation Sequence.
Kamen Rider Poseidon
Kamen Rider Poseidon
Portrayed by: Atsushi Arai (live), Kenji Hamada (voice), Jun Watanabe (suit)
Same! Kujira! Ookamiuo!note
A mysterious Kamen Rider from the future, using three Core Medals and the Poseidon Driver created by the remnants of the Kougami Foundation in the future. In reality, he is the collective consciousness of the Core and Cell Medals sent into the future upon Eiji and Ankh's defeat of Dr Maki and the Medal Vessel, which possesses Michal Minato and goes back in time. Overpowering the two Kamen Rider Births, Eiji can only look on until Ankh returns from the future and aids Eiji, allowing the latter to become OOO again.- Big Bad: Of the OOO section of Movie War Megamax.
- Blood Knight: A ruthless Greeed who lives for fighting.
- Catchphrase: Don't bother begging for mercy, it would be a waste of time.
- Enemy Without: After being forced out of Minato's body.
- Evil Counterpart: Of OOO, in that he uses three Core Medals to transform. Even more subtly, his color scheme is actually OOO's but color inverted.
- Superpowered Evil Side: Was intended to be Minato's Super Mode, but then he was possessed by the Cell and Core Medals sent into the future, causing his own Cores to become sentient and take over.
- In an inversion, Poseidon's statistics are actually significantly lower than Aqua's, so Poseidon's not really a Super Mode, but a mode that's initially more useful simply because it doesn't trigger his phobias.
Characters appearing in Kamen Rider OOO 10th: Core Medal of Resurrection
Goda (Massive Walking Spoiler)
Goda/Kamen Rider OOO (III)/Kamen Rider Goda
Portrayed by: Satoshi Hino (voice), Yoshihito Tanaka (suit)
Mukade! Hachi! Ari!note Goda! Goda! Go~da!
A mysterious artificial Greeed born from Eiji's desires.- All Your Powers Combined: Visually, Goda's suit is this for all of the Medals, except for the ones used by Ankh. note
- Ascended Extra: The Poisonous Creature Core Medals originally made a cameo in Movie War Megamax as one of the Newly-Created Core Medals, and a special form in Memory of Heroez. Here, they make their proper on-screen debut as the Goda Medals.
- Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Even though everyone around him distrusts him and is well aware he's likely to backstab them for his own benefit, they end up begrudgingly tolerating him because he's their best shot at keeping Eiji alive.
- Dead Person Impersonation: Since his intent is to "become" Eiji and carry out his wishes, he pretends to be him for the beginning of the movie until Ankh, Date, and Gotou figure him out. Even after he reveals his identity, he still puts on Eiji's perky and cheerful personality as if he actually were him, to everyone's chagrin.
- Enemy Within: He's an artificial Greeed made by the Kougami Foundation, based on data from Eiji's desires; when Eiji dies, he's able to take over Eiji's body, access all of his memories, and do a near-perfect impression of him.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Goda seems to initially see his actions as beneficial for everyone, since, in his mind, he's helping keep Eiji alive and carrying out his will for him. What he fails to realize is that Eiji also happened to be self-sacrificial to a fault, so the only thing he understands is that Eiji "wanted power" but not the reason why. Date and Gotou warn him that he can't truly "become Eiji" if he doesn't understand Eiji's self-sacrificial nature, and, sure enough, Goda ends up getting Drunk with Power until he becomes the True Final Boss of the movie. When Ankh finally meets the real Eiji's dying spirit, it turns out that his "final wish" is the complete opposite; he's fully at peace with dying to save others, and is willing to have the fight against Goda be his final battle. Goda is ultimately defeated unable to understand why his "ultimate power" would lose to the power of Eiji and Ankh's bonds.
- Evil Counterpart: Being born from Eiji and intending to carry out his will, he's basically an embodiment of Eiji with all of the desire for power but none of the intent to use it to help others.
- Fighting from the Inside: Once Kamen Rider Goda starts to attack Ankh, the real Eiji starts holding him back in order to protect him. Goda refuses to have any of this and quickly discards Eiji's body, along with any pretense of wanting to help Eiji live on.
- Foil: He serves as one to Ankh over the course of the movie. Both of them are Greeeds with direct ties to Eiji, and both claim to be acting for Eiji's sake. But in contrast to Ankh, one of the original Greeeds who once served under the Ancient King intending to claim his power for himself (and still claims to not care about humanity), Goda is an artificially created one made from Eiji's desires, who starts off with ostensibly noble goals of defeating the Ancient King and carrying on what he believes to be Eiji's wishes. Eventually, Goda goes Drunk with Power in claiming the Ancient King's power for himself, to the point of abandoning Eiji's body, while Ankh ends up connecting with Eiji and helps him carry on his real last wishes to fight together and protect everyone. Goda ultimately ends up dying in a similar fashion to the original Ancient King, while Ankh temporarily takes up the role of Kamen Rider OOO alongside Eiji to defeat him. In other words, Goda became the power-hungry monster Ankh intended on becoming at the beginning of the series, while Ankh was the one to carry out the true spirit of Goda's original purpose to grant Eiji's wishes.
- Hope Spot: He represents a walking one for Eiji's friends, since his usage of Eiji's body effectively keeps him barely alive, and Ankh especially clings to the idea that Eiji can eventually come back the same way Shingo recovered by Ankh being in his body. Unfortunately, Goda ends up betraying everyone in his pursuit of power, and Eiji himself turns out to be at peace with dying since it brought Ankh back. Ultimately, Ankh and Eiji defeat Goda as per the latter's final wishes, and Eiji pushes Ankh out of his own body, ending the artificial extension on his life and forcing everyone to accept his death.
- Meaningful Name: His name comes from goudatsu, or "hijacking".
- Motive Decay: Even if it was in a twisted manner, Goda's motives initially lined up with Eiji's; he wanted to defeat the Ancient King, and he seemed to genuinely think he was helping Eiji by carrying out his will and keeping his body on life support. But once he's tempted with the power of the Ancient King's Core Medals, he starts to revel in his newfound power to the point he eventually discards Eiji's body once he gets in the way. In particular, the reveal that Eiji fully intended to use his own death to revive Ankh means that Goda should have known this fact as well, but his lust for power results in him tossing Eiji's body aside and trying to kill Ankh for getting in the way.
- Out-of-Character Alert: Since he was born from Eiji's desires and has all of his memories, he can do a near spot-on impression of him down to his mannerisms, but Ankh, Date, and Gotou catch onto him not being the real Eiji when he starts acting uncharacteristically cruel and callous; in particular, Ankh notices something is very wrong when "Eiji" shrugs off the idea of a young girl's death, something the real Eiji would take very harshly.
- Past-Life Memories: As he was born from Eiji's desires, he has access to all of his memories, meaning he's fully aware of all of Eiji's past and relationships and uses them to pull off an uncannily accurate Dead Person Impersonation. It's because of this he argues he's suitable to "be" Eiji by taking his place after his death. However, it becomes increasingly clear that while he has knowledge of Eiji's memories, he doesn't have the experiences and sentiments associated with them; for instance, although he knows how to fight as OOO and has the fighting ability to match, he still treats it as something he'd always wanted to "try", and callously demands the TaJaDol medals from Ankh without regard for their significance.note Ultimately, his failure to understand Eiji's actual feelings and motives means he completely latches onto his "desire for power" without the added motive of wanting it to help others.
- Plot-Irrelevant Villain: His only real contribution to the film at first is effectively to bar Eiji from it for most of it. When he does turn around and becomes the final villain of the film, it's after the main threat (Ancient King OOO) had already been dealt with and only serves to provide a foe for Ankh to work with Eiji to defeat.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Once everyone figures out he's not actually Eiji, nobody trusts him; Ankh refuses to acknowledge him as Eiji, and Date is unsurprised when he ends up betraying them. Everyone works with him at first mainly because they need to team up against the Ancient King and because they're hoping to use him to keep Eiji's body alive, but they all show very obvious distate for him.
- True Final Boss: After he helps destroy the Ancient King, he takes advantage of the remaining Core and Cell Medals to transform into Kamen Rider Goda and become the final threat of the film, and by extension the OOO part of the Kamen Rider franchise.
- Walking Spoiler: It is hard to talk about him without reveal one major twist: That Eiji Hino died shielding a young girl and that he's possessing him.
