* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: [[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Gai Amatsu]], the previous series' resident HateSink and [[BigBadEnsemble co-Big Bad]], was the head of a company who dealt with technology and attempted to use the Ark's technology to dominate the world (or so it seemed, since his actual plan was to become the President of Hiden Intelligence). In contrast, Isaac is the leader of an order dedicated to handling more magical matters. Both men use those under them as tools to manipulate however they see fit, though whereas Gai got them to comply via microchips and said group broke free through sheer willpower, Isaac is playing everyone -- hero and villain alike -- like fiddles; it isn't until it becomes clear to the Swordsmen under him that the organization truly has become corrupt that they side with Touma. Gai was also StupidEvil and frequently [[KickTheDog kicked the dog]] even when it wasn't necessary while Isaac, despite being AxCrazy, is a competent manipulator who refrains from such behaviors if they don't further his goals. Their motivations are also diametrically different in that Gai masqueraded as a VisionaryVillain to cover up his simple {{greed}}, while Isaac is a CardCarryingVillain who gleefully admits to doing things [[ForTheEvulz just to alleviate his boredom]]. The greatest contrast between the two during the endgame of their respective shows is that Gai managed to pull a HeelFaceTurn and joined the heroes' side while [[KarmaHoudini he got away of all the unforgivable crimes he did in the first place]], whereas Isaac [[RedemptionRejection refused to repent from his villainy]] even upon his death.

* {{Expy}}: He's [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Kuroto Dan]] but played completely seriously and without any comedic moments. He's one half of a BigBadDuumvirate who starts off as the benefactor of the heroes' side before being revealed as the mastermind who kicked the events of the series off, is incredibly [[LargeHam hammy]] and AxCrazy, and is driven by a desire [[AGodAmI to become a god]].

* SeekingUltimateStrength: Ren Akamichi is the immature upstart among the seasoned warriors that make up the Sword Of Logos. Compared to his fellow Riders (who want to protect people), Ren is a BloodKnight only focused on gaining power; being unconcerned with civilians caught in the crossfire of his clashes and his single-minded pettiness towards Touma during the latter's FrameUp preventing him from being savvy to [[spoiler: Issac and Reika's manipulation]]. He spends all of the show's second act picking fights while being egged on by the pseudo-Megid Desast, who enables his BloodKnight tendencies. This causes him no end of grief and loss as everyone else's priorities go beyond power grabs while he socially stagnates; [[spoiler: Kento (the man Ren looked up to like a big brother) even sealing his Seiken during his own single-minded crusade to prevent a BadFuture]]. He ''does'' eventually get better.

Characte reaction and too fantastical.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A [[spoiler:single fleeting truce during a heated battle with Solomon]] isn't enough for Ryoga to actually put his faith in Touma's team; [[spoiler:turning back on them the Chapter after]] and rejecting any attempts to communicate.



* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Using time manipulation to move behind your opponent and attack them from behind them is a very effective move...until your opponents realize it and it becomes predictable.

Just For Pun is a disambiguation


* GreenEyedMonster: A mild version. He sparks a rivalry with Touma because of his deep admiration for Kento. Also [[JustForPun funny]], given his color.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: ''Saber'' may be LighterAndSofter, but Isaac is definitely one of the most vile antagonists in the franchise, being a sadist who desires to make humanity suffer [[ForTheEvulz as a way of amusing himself]].
