History Awesome / KamenRiderRyuki

* When Knight sacrifices himself by jumping in the way of Verde's Final Vent, instead of lying down and dying, he immediately gets back up and Final Vents him right back. He is clearly injured the whole time, and dies soon after.]]

* Combined with TearJerker, Shinji's final stand against the Raydragoons. Wounded by a Raydragoon while protecting a little girl, Shinji still musters up the strength to fight. He and Ren manage to kill several of them before Shinji gets disarmed, and even then he kills some more with his Rider Kick. Once they go into [[SuperMode Survive Form]] and unleash their [[FinishingMove Final Vents]], they manage to [[OneManArmy destroy every single Raydragoon rampaging through the city streets]]. And epic last stand for a noble Rider.

* When a Rider goes up against [[AxCrazy Kamen Rider Ouja]], they can never put up a decent fight. Such is not the case with Tiger. He is disarmed of his WolverineClaws, but still fights with his [[AnAxeToGrind Axe]], being one of the few Riders to resort to using their Weapon Visor. He attacks Ouja with Destwilder, who counters with Metalgelas, and ''freezes'' Venosnaker just as Ouja prepares to use his special Final Vent. Tiger forces Ouja to resort to using the weakest Final Vent after having no Cards left to counter, and still lived to tell the tale... until his HeroicSacrifice.

!!Series

* When Knight and Ryuki first activate their [[SuperMode Survive cards]].
** Tezuka, the man who gave Ren the Survive Shippu card, [[HeroicSacrifice took a direct hit from Ouja's Final Vent]]. Buying time for Shinji and Tezuka to run away, Ren slowly draws the card as, true to its name [[BlowYouAway windy gales blow through the Mirror World]]. Ren loads the card, transforming his visor to the Dark-Visor Zwei, and takes out the Dark Blade as he changes into Survive Form, his flowing cape billowing in the wind. He then proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle completely decimate Ouja]], even using his sword as pseudo-PowerNullifier by ''shattering Ouja's Strike Vent before it materializes'', and probably would've finished him off for good were it not for the Mirror Monster getting in the way.
** Shinji was even better: Cornered by Ren in Survive Form, Shinji slowly draws his Survive Card and flips it. [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Revolution plays for the first time in the series]] as, elsewhere, Zolda and Ouja unleash their Final Vents. Back with Ren and Shinji, [[IncendiaryExponent surrounded by the flames of the Card]], , Shinji slowly puts his card into his new Drag-Visor Zwei. The music times PERFECTLY as Shinji transforms into Survive Form, then declares his resolution to fight Ren, not to kill him, [[MeaningfulName but to live for him]].
---> '''Shinji''': [[SurvivalMantra I will definitely not die!]] Once you take a life... [[TheseHandsHaveKilled You can never go back!]]
---> '''Ren''': [[ItGetsEasier That's exactly what I want]].
* The first time we saw Dragredder turn into Dragranzer, and then into ''the most awesome CoolBike ever.''
* Ryuki Vs. Ryuga. No flashy moves or the usual Toku camp. It was just Shinji against his copy who was a pale imitation of the real thing, in a brutal fistfight. It ends when Shinji, having been punched all the way back to the building, [[ThrowingDownTheGauntlet gives a wordless challenge]] by simply drawing the only card in the entire fight: The [[FinishingMove Final Vent]]. Ryuga responds to his challenge to settle once and for all who the real one is, ending with a [[DivingKick Rider Kick showdown]] that ends with Shinji slamming Ryuga to his death.

* The first time Ryuki fights Ouja in his Survive Form in episode 35. While Ouja had the upper hand throughout the fight, the table was flipped when Ryuki decided to use his Survive Form. Seriously, Ryuki Survive just cancels out Ouja's Metalgelas-based Final Vent with nothing but a LITTLE swat from Dragranzer's tail. Granted Ryuki is in [[SuperMode Survive Form]] but it makes you wonder how much Shinji has grown until this point. If not for his compassion, he could have ended Asakura right there and then, not unlike Ren's Survive Form debut before.

* Episode 40. A 7-way free from all, from Knight vs. Alternative Zero on a Final Vent clash, to Ouja vs Tiger, and ends with with Imperer's monsters joining the fight and Zolda, and Survive Mode Ryuki. Truly awesome.

* Combined with TearJerker, Shinji's final stand against the Mirror Monsters in episode 49. Wounded by a Mirror Monster while protecting a little girl, Shinji still musters up the strength to fight. He and Ren manage to kill several monsters before Shinji gets disarmed, and even then he kills some more with his Rider Kick. Once they go into [[SuperMode Survive Form]] and unleash their [[FinishingMove Final Vents]], they manage to [[OneManArmy destroy every single monster rampaging through the city streets]]. And epic last stand for a noble Rider.

* In the questionable canon ''13 Riders'' Special, when Knight sacrifices himself by jumping in the way of Verde's Final Vent, instead of lying down and dying, he immediately gets back up and Final Vents him right back. He is clearly injured the whole time, and dies soon after.]]

** If you consider the possibility both endings were other timelines created by Shiro's Time Vent. It means that in the former ending Shinji was able to survive the fight and possibly escape and in the latter ending he managed to steel his will and continue to fight. In the end causing the Rider War to prolong in both timelines and force Shiro to use Time Vent again since it was stated Shinji is the reason the war keeps resetting.

** Tezuka, the man who gave Ren the Survive Shippu card, [[HeroicSacrifice took a direct hit from Ouja's Final Vent]]. Buying time for Shinji and Tezuka to run away, Ren slowly draws the card as, true to its name [[BlowYouAway windy gales blow through the Mirror World]].

Granted Ouja wasn't going all out but it makes you wonder how much Shinji has grown until this point. If not for his compassion, he could have ended Asakura right there and then.

* "Punch where there's Golden Feathers": Shinji just [[YouCantFightFate relived the entirety of the Rider War, unable to do anything to change it]]. On the last day, he fills his entire room with post-it notes to well, Punch where there's Golden Feathers, all to make [[ScrewDestiny one big point]].

* In the non-canon ''13 Riders'' Special, [[spoiler:when Knight sacrifices himself by jumping in the way of Verde's Final Vent, instead of lying down and dying, he immediately gets back up and Final Vents him right back. He is clearly injured the whole time, and dies soon after.]]
** Which is then followed by [[spoiler: A now deck-less Shinji picking up the now user-less Knight deck, using it (going straight into survive in the process) and then either getting into a massive rider battle royale (which is basically ''everyone unloading their Final Vents onto him'', or destroying the source of Mirror World, escaping in the process, depending on which of the MultipleEndings you go by.]]

** And there's Odin's reaction. While the punch didn't hurt him, it did manage to shock him shock him since he never expected Shinji to know where he'd teleport. And there's the fact that he actually hit him since Odin's TeleportSpam meant he's hit a total of three times in the main series.

** Knight kills two monsters at the same time with his Final Vent. Seeing Darkwing evolve into Darkraider then transform into a CoolBike to ram into them was awesome.

* Ryuki Vs. Ryuga. Heck, the fight ended in one of the most epic Rider Kick vs. Rider Kicks ever!
