History Characters / KamenRiderBladeProtagonists

* BlueIsHeroic: Notably Blade is the first Kamen Rider protagonist with a blue color on his suit.

** He has no issues relaunching the DeadlyGame ''[[Series/KamenRiderExAid Kamen Rider Chronicle]]'' in ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'' to lure out and kill [[BoxedCrook Project Outsiders]], even though Masamune and Kuroto Dan had previously exploited it and its data to wreak havoc on the world. When Nico Saiba objects, Tachibana threatens to execute her on the spot. [[spoiler:This gets Zein's admiration, who decides to up the ante by seizing control of the plan and using it to wage war on the human race, viewing ''everyone'' as equally disposable]].

Voted #3 Kamen Rider in the ''Kamen Rider Blade'' franchise, #30 Kamen Rider in the Heisei era, and #36 Kamen Rider overall in NHK's All Kamen Rider Popularity Vote.

* AlienBlood: Green in his case, the main visual clue he is [[spoiler:an Undead]].
* AmbiguouslyHuman: He is initially introduced as an unassuming tenant of Kuriharas, but it's soon revealed he has green blood and fights as Chalice. Not only he is an Undead, he is [[TheDreaded Black]] [[EldritchAbomination Joker.]]]

* {{BFG}}: His SIC-only [[http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs37/f/2008/288/3/f/Garren_King_Form_by_AjDrawer.jpg King]] form wields one, dubbed the Heavy Rousing Gun King Rouzer.
* CantCatchUp: Garren's spin-off exclusive King Form only fuses with the Giraffa Undead, making it worse than Blade's King Form by definition sans a slight increase to speed. It does however serve as a blessing in disguise since [[spoiler:the low compatibility Tachibana has with the other Undeads makes it unlikely he will mutate into a third Joker]], and the form itself readily compensates by evolving the Garren Rouzer further into a massive rifle that can still accept the remaining Rouse Cards.

[[folder:Hajime Aikawa/Kamen Rider Chalice]]
!!Hajime Aikawa/Kamen Rider '''Chalice'''

A mysterious photographer living with the Kurihara family, with the ability to become a Kamen Rider. [[spoiler:In reality, the alter ego of the Black Joker Undead, whose victory in the Battle Fight would cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. He uses the Category Ace of Hearts ''Change Mantis'' to assume the form of Kamen Rider Chalice, and the Category Two of Hearts ''Spirit Human'' to assume a human form. The combination of the Mantis Undead's fighting spirit and the Human Undead's compassion helped to control his natural impulses as the Joker. After witnessing a man's death at the hands of Kanai/Giraffa Undead, he vows to protect the man's family adopting the persona of Hajime Aikawa. After King/Caucasus Undead stole most of his cards, including the Category Ace of Hearts ''Change Mantis'', he begins to regress into his Joker form, with Leangle unsealing his cards in an attempt to control him. The Joker continues to rampage, however, until he acquires the Evolution Paradoxa card, allowing him to access Wild Form.]]\\

[[spoiler:By series end, with all other Undead sealed, he regresses to his true nature as the Black Joker, dooming life on Earth. Eventually Kenzaki takes it upon himself to defeat Hajime, not by sealing him (though this provides the plot of the Missing Ace film), but by becoming a Joker himself, allowing Hajime to resume living as a human with the Kuriharas.]]\\

* AbominationAccusationAttack: He is accused of murder by family friend of Kuriharas and when she digs in to confirm her suspicion, she finds out he might not even be human. That and her seeing him transform in Chalice leads up to the accusation of being a monster out to destroy the world. It's all explained in the end, [[spoiler:but she was right in the second point. He is a monster out to destroy the world. [[TragicHero He doesn't want to]], [[TragicVillain but it's not in his control.]]]]

* AmbiguouslyHuman: He is initially introduced as an unassuming tenant of Kuriharas, but it's soon revealed he has green blood and fights as Chalice. [[spoiler:Not only he is an Undead, he is [[TheDreaded Black]] [[EldritchAbomination Joker.]]]]

* AntiAntiChrist: [[spoiler:His victory in the Battle Royale will lead to the destruction of all life on Earth, whether he wants to or not.]]
* AndIMustScream: He has only little control of over his actions when [[spoiler:dominated by his Undead Instincts or forced to revert into Joker]]. He managed to improve his chances a little over the time with HeroicWillpower and PowerOfFriendship.
* BecomingTheMask: Hajime[[spoiler:, who assumed the appearance of the Human Undead,]] was initially only IntriguedByHumanity, but found himself enjoying his new life with the Kuriharas.
* DeathGlare: The peak of his PerpetualFrowner attitude he reserves for people who get too close. [[spoiler:He gets some truly [[NightmareFace scary expression]] when his instincts react to the Undead active in the area or worse, when that Undead specifically calls out to him.]]
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:When the world's destruction starts]] in the story's finale, he just waits for someone (namely Kenzaki) to seal him [[spoiler:to save the world he couldn't protect]].
* DespairEventHorizon: He crossed it after [[spoiler:being forced to revert into Joker Undead and start world's destruction]]. It doesn't matter how much he fought to keep it from happening. When Kenzaki and Mutsuki find him, he would let them [[spoiler:seal him]] if he had [[AndIMustScream any say]] in that. He wanted to protect Haruka and Amane at first, but then he gave up even on that to spare himself the pain and just waited for the [[spoiler:world to burn or for someone to come and seal him]].

* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:Undead flee from him in Joker form.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:When he is forced to turn back in Joker and be the vector of the world's destruction, he tries to kill himself to stop everything. It doesn't work because Undead are immortal. Kenzaki and Kotaro find him a while later, sobbing.]]
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:Being the Joker Undead, he is massively more powerful than any of the other Undeads, and his victory in the Battle Fight guarantees the end of the world. Design-wise he also one of the more unnerving appearances, with a moveable jaw and ghastly white skin coloration.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:While the other Undead and Hiroshi Tennoji set up the events of the plot, it is the Joker's existence that threatens life on Earth.]]

* ICannotSelfTerminate: He tried to commit suicide in the story's finale, but failed because [[spoiler:Undead are immortal]]. [[spoiler:He can't seal himself either because the Stone of Sealing would stop him.]]
* IdenticalStranger: [[spoiler:In his human disguise]], Hajime shares the same face with a civilian named Ryo Mikami.

** Hajime means ''beginning'', an ironic name for someone supposed to cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. But it also meaningful since he [[spoiler:, as the Joker,]] marks the ''beginning'' of a Battle Fight and the ''first'' step to TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
* {{Motif}}: Mantis, Suit of Hearts, [[spoiler:and the cockroach, when being the Joker]].

* SealedEvilInACan: His [[EldritchAbomination form]] of [[spoiler:the Black Joker]] is kept sealed by the spirits of Human and Mantis Undead.
* TokenHeroicOrc: [[spoiler:Is the Joker Undead, and fights on the side of good for the majority of the series.]] Notably, within the entire franchise itself, he is the first Kamen Rider to neither be a human [[spoiler:or a human modified/transformed into a superpowered-being.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:To say that Hajime's true identity is important is putting it mildly.]]

* WildCard: Literally and figuratively. Aside from nobody knowing his motives at the beginning of the series and switching on and off between being a normal hero and an AntiHero, [[spoiler:he's the Joker Undead (which is the card usually called the wild card)]] and his final form is even called ''Wild Form''.

* SuperMode: Wild Form.

* CantCatchUp: Garren's SIC-only King Form only fuses with the Giraffa Undead, making it worse than Blade's King Form by definition sans a slight increase to speed. It does however serve as a blessing in disguise since [[spoiler:the low compatibility Tachibana has with the other Undeads makes it unlikely he will mutate into a third Joker]], and the form itself readily compensates by evolving the Garren Rouzer further into a massive rifle that can still accept the remaining Rouse Cards.

* GlassCannon: Jack Form, which also counts as his SuperMode. His SIC-only King Form also isn't as thick as Blade's King Form, but is slightly faster, and his version of the King Rouzer enables him to perform devastating ranged attacks from afar.

* HurtingHero: He blames himself for not being able to save his parents and is motivated to protect anyone he can. It's also hard for him to comprehend that someone actually actually cares about him too as evident by his confusion when meeting Kotaro and Shiori's concern about him.

* FlowerMotifs: The orchid for Category Queen ''Absorb Orci

* AndIMustScream: He has only little control of over his actions when [[spoiler:dominated by his Undead Instincts or forced to revert into Joker]]. He managed to improve his chances a little over the time with HeroicWillPower and PowerOfFriendship.

* BladeOnAStick: Leangle Rouzer.

* DualWielding: King Form’s Straight Flush has him preform a finisher with both the King and Blay Rouzers. And there are a few times where he did this to gain advantage when fighting very strong Undeads.

* DualWielding: King Form’s Straight Flush has him preform a finisher with both the King and Blay Rouzers.

* LastNameBasis: He is always adressed as Kenzaki. Only his family called him Kazuma.

* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:Post-show appearances have him being a much colder individual who is more willing to kill. Funnily enough, justified by WordOfGod for Series/KamenRiderDecade attributing it to the Joker’s influence on his psyche]].

* AbominationAccusationAttack: He is accused of murder by family friend of Kuriharas and when she digs in to confirm her suspicion, she finds out he might not even be human. That and her seeing him transform in Chalice leads up to the accusation of being a monster out to destroy the world. It's all explained in the end, [[spoiler:but she was right in the second point. He is a monster out to destroy the world. He doesn't want to, but it's not in his control.]]

* DeathGlare: The peak of his PerpetualFrowner attitude he reserves for people who get too close. [[spoiler:He gets some truly [[NightmareFace scary expression]] when his insticts react to the Undead active in the area or worse, when that Undead specifically calls out to him.]]

* IneffectualLoner: He tries to be cold and antisocial, but the combined influences of the Spirit Card, Amane's attachment and Kenzaki's attempts to reach out to him all make his cold facade crumble.

** Hajime means ''beginning'', an ironic name for someone supposed to cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. But it also meaningful since he [[spoiler:, as the Joker,]] marks the ''beginning'' of a Battle Fight.

* SayMyName: Many times he says Kenzaki's name are meaningful in some way. He mostly does it only if it's meaningful, sad or soemthing along those lines.

%%zce* WhenHeSmiles: His human side definitely shines through at that moment.

* HealingFactor: Category Nine ''Recovery Camel''

* {{Foil}}: Being the series' Second Rider, he serves as one to Kenzaki, both their motifs are based on a beetle sub-species, with Garren being based on a Stag Beetle to match Blade's Rhinoceros Beetle motif, along with their color of their rider forms are contrasts to each other. Not to mention unlike the AllLovingHero Kenzaki, Tachibana is not hesitant to seal the Undeads if it needs neccesarily.

* MentorArchetype: He does his best to make Mutsuki a proper Kamen Rider and help him overcome the Spider Undead's control, but to mixed reasults that are not improved by Mutsuki himself.

* WeaponOfChoice: Wild Slasher, a bow/blade combo.

* {{Jerkass}} -> JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He starts as a cynical loner hostile to everyone but his human family, but gradually changes into someone, who considers PowerOfFriendship and emotions to be humanity's strength and tries to reach them himself. Granted, mellowing out doesn't stop him from keeping a cold edge to his attitude, a frown as his default expression and a reserved approach to anyone that is not Haruka, Amane or Kenzaki.

* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: His human side definitely shines through at that moment.

[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kr_leangle.png]]

* RefusedByTheCall: Noone of the Category Ace Undead would fuse with him, so he can't be a Kamen Rider. He is not a scientist. No matter how desperately he would want to be helpful, stronger and relevant to the struggle between humans and Undead.

* DisappearedDad: Her father was fatally wounded by an Undead and asked Hajime to take care of his family.

Kenzaki was a man who was orphaned at 11 by a fire. Years later, the organization BOARD scouted him out, making him a candidate for Rider System-02, Blade. He displayed unusually high fusion coefficiency with the Undead involved in the Rider system, and eventually became the partner of Rider System-01's user, Sakuya Tachibana.

As the Battle Fight continues, Blade acquires the Rouse Absorber developed by Kei Karasuma, using it at first to assume Jack Form with the Category Jack of Spades ''Fusion Eagle'', and then [[spoiler:King Form, with the power of ''all 13 Category Spades Undead'' instead of merely the Category King of Spades ''Evolution Caucasus''. This increased King Form's power at the cost of eventually turning Kenzaki himself into a Joker Undead. He uses this in the finale to allow Hajime/the Black Joker to continue living as a human, yet with him as the Navy Joker and to stay away from Hajime.]]

Sakuya Tachibana was the second person chosen by BOARD to use the Rider System-01, Garren, after the first user Go Kiryu was determined to be too incompatible. Tachibana fears that continuous use of the system would erode his DNA, which is why he attacked Kei Karasuma, seemingly releasing Undead and betraying BOARD.

Later, he manages to be manipulated by Isaka/Peacock Undead for the latter's sinister plans, until it is revealed that Isaka killed his girlfriend Sayoko Fukasawa. With this he defeats the Undead and in repentance takes Mutsuki/Leangle under his wing. In the FinalBattle, he fights his Category King Kanai[=/=]Giraffa Undead, until it ends with Garren nowhere to be seen and the Giraffa Undead sealed. But returns in the finale.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[SuperMode King Form]] [[spoiler: slowly turns Kenzaki into a Joker the more he uses it. He uses this to his "advantage" by overusing it in the finale to save Hajime. Since two Jokers exist, the Battle Fight can continue indefinitely.]]

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite being the series' Third Rider, Hajime's relationship with Kenzaki is the most important relationship the latter has in the series. He receives second billing in the main credits, is the only Rider in the series to receive a Final Form (Wild Chalice) other than Kenzaki, and much like Series/KamenRiderKabuto years later, his actor is the singer for the series' Final Form Battle Theme (take it a try). As an added parallel, both Blade's and Chalice's elements complement each other, representing the pair of Japanese gods, [[ShockAndAwe Raijin]] and [[BlowYouAway Fujin]].

* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler: Sayoko. He feels guilty for not being able to stop Isaka from killing her. This leads to him taking Mutsuki in as an atonement.]]

* CantCatchUp: Garren's SIC-only King Form only fuses with the Giraffa Undead, making it worse than Blade's King Form by definition sans a slight increase to speed. It does however serve as a blessing in disguise since [[spoiler: the low compatibility Tachibana has with the other Undeads makes it unlikely he will mutate into a third Joker]], and the form itself readily compensates by evolving the Garren Rouzer further into a massive rifle that can still accept the remaining Rouse Cards.

!!!Portrayed by: Yumi Egawa

!!!Portrayed by: Terunosuke Takezai

* NervesOfSteel: Actually has much more courage than he would ever think. He put himself between two fighting riders to stop them and would rather let an Undead strangle him than have Kenzaki surrender his belt.
* NonActionGuy: He does everything he can to help the Kamen Riders but he is not fighter, or scientist, so his scope is somewhat limited. He can deliver a good pep talk or be extra hands or legs for someone (usually Hirose).

* TeamChef: For the household and the people who pass through like Tachibana. His cooking is pretty good, but can have lapses in quality if he feels too bad about something. [[spoiler: Like having his heart broken by an Undead.]]

Mutsuki is a troubled highschool boy chosen by the evil Spider Undead to become Leangle. Unlike the other two BOARD-based Rider Systems, Leangle has no access to Jack Form, yet can unseal Undead to aid in battle. While his Ace Undead is evil, his Royal Club Undead seem to be kind: Category Jack/Elephant Undead does not wish to fight much ([[CombatPragmatist until he finds out the limits of his enemies' power]]), Category Queen/Tiger Undead has a strong sense of justice, and the pacifist Category King/Tarantula Undead aids the Riders in his human persona Noboru Shima.

* TeamMom: Her usual attitude towards Kotaro and Kenzaki. A bossy, angry mom, but cares about them more than she shows.
