History Characters / KamenRiderDecade

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Pretends to be a jerk to Kazuma in order to teach him some humility.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Pretends to be a jerk to Kazuma in order to teach him some humility.

** ''Kamen Rider Taisen'' averts this - while the movie mostly focuses on Takeshi Hongok/Kamen Rider Ichigo and Kouta Kazuraba/Series/KamenRiderGaim, Decade plays a major role in the movie, fighting alongside Kouta (both against the Showa Riders and against Badan).

* TheAce: He's good at everything - except ''taking pictures''.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: There is ''nothing'' he doesn't excel at, but his way doing expressing this tends to come across as... eccentric.

A mediocre photographer with no memory of his past.\\

Voted #1 Kamen Rider in the ''Kamen Rider Decade'' franchise, #6 Kamen Rider in the Heisei era, and #6 Kamen Rider overall in NHK's All Kamen Rider Popularity Vote.

The second original Rider for the series, a dimension-hopping thief who looks out for no-one but himself (at first, anyway). [[spoiler:He comes from a world ruled by monsters who brainwashed the population, including his own brother.]]\\

Voted #2 Kamen Rider in the ''Kamen Rider Decade'' franchise, #47 Kamen Rider in the Heisei era, and #61 Kamen Rider overall in NHK's All Kamen Rider Popularity Vote.

* AdaptationalKindness: [[JerkassWithAHeartOfGold Not that the original Kabuto isn't without moments of kindness]], but he was definitely an ArrogantKungFuGuy and pretty InnocentlyInsensitive at times. In contrast, Sohji has a much more mellow disposition.

* TheAce: Like his main counterpart, he is already a valiant and skilled warrior.

* AdaptationalDumbass: He is basically Godai if he's more childish than his original counterpart.

!!Eijiro Hikari[[spoiler:/Doctor Shinigami]]

* InformedAbility: His abilities as Kuuga are nowhere near as impressive as the original. It's so bad that even in [[Ultimate Form and its upgraded forms, Yusuke frequently suffers from the WorfEffect]]

!!!'''Shin Portrayed by: Takao Sugiura

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Often acts like this to others. Most seen in Blade's world, where he acts like an arrogant ladder-climber in order to unravel the Undead conspiracy and get the Blade cards revealed.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:By Movie War 2010, Sohji has been freed from his nightmarish imprisonment from Clock Up mode. He is even shown detransformed at one point.]]
* HeroicWillpower: [[AndIMustScream Despite being stuck as Kabuto in Clock Up mode for countless years]], he continues to remain a sane individual, thus protecting the innocent from Worms and Dai-Shocker.
* PowerIncontinence: His Clock Up has malfunctioned, trapping him in another. [[spoiler:Luckily, it's fixed by Movie War 2010.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[Spoiler:By Movie War 2010, Sohji has been freed from his nightmarish imprisonment from Clock Up mode. He is even shown detransformed at one point.]]

* PowerIncontinence: His Clock Up has malfunctioned, trapping him in another. [[Spoiler:Luckily, it's fixed by Movie War 2010.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[Spoiler: By Movie War 2010, Sohji has been freed from his nightmarish imprisonment from Clock Up mode. He is even shown detransformed at one point.]]

* PowerIncontinence: His Clock Up has malfunctioned, trapping him in another. [[Spoiler: Luckily, it's fixed by Movie War 2010.]]

* BreakoutCharacter: Despite ''Decade'' itself being one of the less popular series, Tsukasa himself would establish himself as one of the most popular and iconic characters in the franchise, being the Rider to have made the most appearances across spin-off material, and often serving as the protagonist in crossovers. So popular is he that ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'' not only brought him back, but made him a full-on main character directly involved in the main conflict.

** In the worlds of [[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]] and [[Series/KamenRiderBlack Black]], Joe the Haze.
** In the world of [[Series/KamenRiderOOO OOO]], he's Ankh.
** In the world of [[Series/KamenRiderStronger Stronger]], he's a ReplacementGoldfish for Shigeru Jo after the more jerkish incarnation of him goes off the deep end and [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn starts to lead the alternate Delza Army]]]].
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Often acts like this to other Riders in order to save their worlds. Most seen in Blade's world, where he acts like an arrogant ladder-climber in order to unravel the Undead conspiracy and get the Blade cards revealed.

** In Super Hero Taisen, we get hints that Decade can turn into any and all Riders when we see him after he's turned into ''Ichigo'', and seems to be able to do the voices of whoever he's turned into as well as using their powers and abilities.

* GoodCounterpart: Ultimately is established to be one for [[Series/KamenRiderZiO Ora, the Time Jacker]], doing her best to keep Tsukasa in check, not overdo it or cross any lines he'll later regret. She does so successfully, precisely because she cares unlike Ora.

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Doesn't get much higher a level-up than becoming the Rider that ''kills'', however temporarily, [[StoryBreakerPower Decade]]. Breaking the streak of female Rider deaths also helps]]. The ''World of OOO'' novel takes it a step further when she [[spoiler:gains a ''second, completely unrelated'' Rider identity in the form of Gaim [[ChekhovsGag Natsumikan]] Arms, and uses that to fight with the reunited Decade team in the novel's climax along with the alternate [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Eiji Hino]] and his [[ComboPlatterPowers Legend Tatoba combo]]]].

* StoryBreakerPower: [[spoiler:Super Rising Ultimate]] is one of the strongest Rider forms in the entire franchise, period, which is compensated for by the fact that Yusuke probably won't be meeting the [[Series/KamenRiderStronger Riders]] [[Series/KamenRiderOOO required]] to help engage it ever again after first unlocking it.
* TookALevelInBadass: For starters, [[spoiler:he achieves a form the original Kuuga never did, and essentially becomes the leader of the Riders against Tsukasa in ''Movie Wars.'' Not only that, he was the last one against Tsukasa, and fared a lot better than the other riders did]]. ''S.I.C. Hero Saga'' [[SerialEscalation takes it even farther]] by demonstrating that [[spoiler:when properly supercharged with lightning powers, Rising Ultimate can be upgraded into one of the strongest Rider forms in the franchise, Super Rising Ultimate]].

* {{Jerkass}}: His self centered greed means that he [[LackOfEmpathy completely doesn't take the feelings of people he hurts with his thefts into account]] and has to be flat out blackmailed into returning stolen property.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Much like Tsukasa however, he has his moments. ''Cho Den-O Trilogy: Episode Yellow'' in particular has Daiki hijack the [[Series/KamenRiderDenO DenLiner]] so he can re-do a botched theft, not for selfish reasons, but because he accidentally destroyed another man's treasure (letters that his mother left behind before she died) in the process and felt remorseful.

!!Souji

* TheAce: Unlike the other A.R. Riders, Souji doesn't have much character flaws compared to his original counterpart (with him actually getting past it, as said below), all while having the skills of the original Tendo.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Goes out of his way to protect his sister Mayu, even when he's stuck in Clock Up.
* CharacterDevelopment: Grandma says that Souji used to be a {{Jerkass}} (like his original counterpart) but she raised him better.
* PowerIncontinence: His Clock Up malfunctions, meaning he cannot easily control it.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: The original Daisuke started the series as a primitive tribe man that barely knew any words, meanwhile this Amazon has a better comprehension of human language. Justified given this Amazon has went to places like Europe and America already.

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The original Masahiko wasn't as emotionally struck by the death of his father like in here, becoming loyal to Dai-Shocker as a coping mechanism.

* SuperMode: Gains the ability to become "Supr Apollo Geist" after he marries the Fangire Queen.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The original Shadow Moon was a TragicVillain who was forced to become evil by Gorgom. His AlternateSelf acts entirely out of his own free will, and he does far worse things than his original counterpart, including attempted omnicide.
* BattleButler: Has the power to transform into Shadow Moon and proves to be a formidable figher against Decade and Kuuga Rising Ultimate, though [[spoiler:he winds up getting his ass kicked by Series/KamenRiderDouble soon after.]]

* HiddenDepths: If the [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Gaim]]/[[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger ToQGer]] crossover is anything to go by, it would seem he's more than willing to assist Riders who (presumably) aren't associated with Decade. On top of that, he's apparently a regular on the [[Series/ResshaSentaiToQger Rainbow Line]]. [[Film/HeiseiRiderVsShowaRiderKamenRiderWarsFeaturingSuperSentai Kamen Rider Taisen]] also further suggests he seems to respect Riders in general, [[PokeThePoodle only saying his catchphrase to Decade so he can ask him why Kamen Riders are so awesome]].

* MookMaker: Summons copies of Kamen Riders (Good evil, and otherwise) to aid him in battle using his own deck of Rider Cards.

* SuperMode: Diend gets his very own Complete Form during the events of ''Cho Den-O Trilogy: Episode Yellow''. As a movie-exclusive form, it summons an entire team of movie-exclusive Riders[[note]]''Kuuga'' and ''Den-O'' are the only Heisei series not represented; the former having never received a summer movie, and the latter due to the events of said movie locking said rider (Gaoh) out of the timestream (in-universe)[=/=]the suit being recycled for Yuuki's suit (real life)[[/note]] and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill lets him use all their finishers at once.]]

* WeaponSpecialization: Diend's signature weapon is the Diendriver, a [[CoolGuns Cool Gun]] that also functions as his TransformationTrinket.

* TheBusCameBack: While Tsukasa and Kaito have returned many times throughout the franchise, Yusuke took [[JustForPun over a decade]] to return from his last appearnce in ''Movie War 2010'' to ''Rider Time Decade vs Zi-O.''

* DistressedDamsel: A good chunk of Decade's plots can be summed up as "Natsumi got Kidnapped[=/=]is in trouble again."

* {{Catchphrase}}: Has a few of them to boot.

[[caption-width-right:210:[[{{Catchphrase}} Onore Dikeido!]][[note]]Translation: Curse you, Decade![[/note]]]]

* TheInfiltration: A villainous example. Narutaki does this in ''Decade: Last Story''; [[spoiler:posing as Colonel Zol in order to further Eijiro's brainwashing as Doctor Shinigami.]] Seems to reveal him as the real thing at first, until he [[BaitAndSwitch reverts back to his normal form after the penultimate battle.]] This implies that [[spoiler:the real Zol was either absent or has been long dead.]]
** Decade himself [[LampshadeHanging lampshades Narutaki's actions prior to the aforementioned battle.]]
---> '''Tsukasa''': Narutaki! Do you want to see Decade defeated so badly that you even became a Shocker?
* {{Catchphrase}}: '''"Curse you, Decade!"''' [[note]]'''"[[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns Onore Dikeido!]]"'''[[/note]]

Takatora's younger brother. Is largely unchanged from his prime counterpart, so refer to Characters.KamenRiderGaimBeatRiders for more information. That being said...

!!Joe the Haze

* FaceHeelRevolvingDoor: His alignment to himself doesn't really change, but Narutaki waffles quite a bit on his treatment of Tsukasa. Sometimes he's venomous enough to the Passing Through Kamen Rider to actively encourage him to die to protect the worlds and other times he acts more like a friendly SitcomArchNemesis.
