History Fanfic / CindersAndAshesTheChroniclesOfKamenRiderDante

*** Martial Panda, while obviously a nod to ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'', is also one to [[Series/KamenRiderBuild the Press Smash]]. Likewise, Formula Rex is based off the unused Best Match, [=F1Saurus=].

** '''Bargaining:''' He discusses with Alicetaria about how he would have fought with her and the other Creations, even saying how he would want God to revive Setsuna if he was able to. Briefly before the end of Cinder Road, Hoshi started to seek other people to take the Volcano Belt from him, including Shindou and Alicetaria. Even thanking Kikuchihara for confiscating the belt. Though, he gets out of it once [[spoiler:the belt is destroyed and Honoka's injury prompts him to fight Re:Shocker]].

* TakeThat: Matsubara, as he's telling Tachibana why having Meteora spam her newly obtained ressurection powers wouldn't work, he says that it's not ''Franchise/DragonBall''.

** Chapter 25, after going through not just a HeelFaceTurn arc for Yuichi but also a BigBadassBattleSequence in Shibuya, allows some of the cast to relax at a hot springs inn. [[SubvertedTrope However,]] the only thing preventing the ''reader'' from feeling at ease is [[spoiler:the DramaticIrony that one of the main villains is the one who set up said stay in the first place and that Yudai is revealed to not only be alive, but impersonating Souta]].

** While the anime briefly skimmed the plot of all the stories that were involved, Cinder Road expands and explains more details about those worlds, such as how Yuuya obtained Hangaku or how Vogelchavlier was really an isekai anime with Charon being the protagonist. This also extends to the Creators as well, who range from having additonal thoughts on their situation to having entire backstories.

** Magane's RealityWarper ability gets played up more in this story and showing how exactly she can be a threat [[ManipulativeBastard without ever lifting a finger to fight]]. The fact that she [[spoiler:uses [[GuardianEntity Hangaku]] in the story whereas in the original, she doesn't]], makes her more of a badass.

*** Docro sounds close to “dokuro” or skull in Japanese. Skulls often being a symbol of poison. It also has crow in the name.

%% Toranity's song is [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba Gurenge]], with the chorus lyrics pointing to how, despite having [[TheAtoner past mistakes that can't be erased]] and [[HurtingHero a future that can't be escaped]], Hoshi, for the sake of protecting others, must [[NextTierPowerUp become stronger]], something that Toranity accomplishes.

** Chapter 26 (which is coincedentally the [[ThirteenIsUnlucky 13th chapter]] of the Cinder Fall saga) has [[spoiler:Yudai give a CurbstompBattle to Hoshi as he turns Honoka and Marine into mindless Kaizo-Majin, makes a third one that kills Shindou, and breaks and nearly kills Hoshi were it not for Magane using her Infinite Deception to fuse Souta and Yudai together. Then there's Tachibana finding out that Shimashima is his father, who then cuts his ties with the group and fully cementing his discarding of the identity]].

** Hikayu has a case where she becomes a badass much earlier than in the show, as midway through the fanfic, she obtains the powers of Magical Slayer Mamika.

* AdaptationalWimp: {{Downplayed}} and {{Justified}}. While Altair was able to beat and almost kill Hoshi in one fight, Alicetaria surprised her InTheBack and Hoshi took this to his advantage, turning the tables on her and almost killing her himself. She could have also brought the fight to an end earlier had Hoshi not knocked the [[StoryBreakerPower Holopsicon]] from her hands.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: {{Downplayed}} and {{Justified}}. Hoshi meets up with Setsuna and Souta long before the incident that led to Setsuna’s suicide, but only remembers meeting up with Setsuna and needing a MindRape to remember Souta was there too. Souta, however, remembers Hoshi. It’s justified as it was the only in-person meeting Hoshi had with the duo.

* RedemptionDemotion: {{Downplayed}} and {{justified}}. The moment Yuichi joined the heroes, he began to feel the after effects of the PhlebotinumBreakdown, began to lessen his use of the [[HealingShiv Doc Blade]], and overall became more hesitant to fight. The justications come in with the facts that: it being a natural occurance thanks to how the Re:Shocker belts work, he found that repeated use of the Doc Blade would hasten the Great Destruction, and he realized just how much of an executioner he had become.

** Similarly, the plot to Chapter 25 is [[WholePlotReference similar to the plot]] from another Kamen Rider's episode: [[spoiler:[[Series/KamenRiderRevice Revice]], namely #8, where an evil version of one of the main characters impersonates them in a plot to kill the main Rider]].

** Chapters 17-22: [[SurvivorsGuilt Dan Izumi]].
