Meet Category Ace Spider Undead. Sweet dreams!

Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.

    open/close all folders 
    In general 
  • The Undead are frankly unnerving just to look at and their methods of killing people makes it even worse. And they mostly kill people either because they consider them vermin or because they're salty over Human Undead winning the last Battle Fight.
    • Spider Undead sucks its prey dry and leaves their skeletons behind and not to mention he's the page image!
    • The Jaguar Undead kills by biting in the throat.
  • Hajime can pass for human pretty well, but he's still creepy at times.
    • Overlooking a peaceful scene, he notes that seeing it makes him want to destroy it all. Jin (the man who took him in after he left Jacaranda) is understandably freaked out.
    • He is scary when overwhelmed by his Undead instincts. Heck, he can be scary most of the time, because he doesn't blink, doesn't form expressions most of the time aside from a scowl or Death Glare and generally gives off an inhuman vibe.
  • Isaka loves to play a Mad Scientist and the Kamen Riders are his favorite toys.
    • He has Kenzaki kidnapped and put through some (thankfully harmless) screening to find out what makes him tick. The next round is significantly less harmless as he has Kenzaki fight against an Undead in a bulding rigged with bombs.
    • He promises to cure Tachibana of his fear. It involves submerging his half-conscious self into a vat of green fluid and floating flesh.. bits. It's just eerie and gross.
      • It wasn't flesh, but seaweed. An aggression heightening, poisonous seaweed that made Tachibana Brainwashed and Crazy.
  • Kotaro tries to tell the Kuriharas the truth about Hajime, but he just can't bring himself to do it. His hesitation is justified. Imagine if you just got told that your polite tenant you're so fond of is an eldritch horror.
  • Due to the Spider Undead being improperly sealed, when both Mutsuki and Kiryu used the Leangle Buckle, small spiders are shown crawling up their legs.
     Episode 14: Ace Sealed! 
  • Sayoko's murder by Isaka. She was trying to save Tachibana and she was offed by a monster in one hit.
     Episode 18: Spirits That Manipulate Darkness 
  • How Kiryu saved a little girl from a man kidnapping her: After telling the girl to run, he then uses his shock belt to incite Electric Torture on the man to his death.
     Episode 19: One Who Conquers Darkness 
  • With his newfound powers, Kiryu then used the unsealed Undead to sic them on innocent civilians.
  • Spider!Leangle ordering the Boar, Locust, Deer, and Jaguar Undeads to maul Kiryu on his command, with the latter screaming after.
     Episode 21: Battles That Feel For Friends 
  • When Kenzaki tried to warn Kotaro to get out of the greenhouse, Miyuki then had the latter tied up in vines. Then Miyuki revealed her true colors to Kotaro accompanied by a Slasher Smile and menacing Evil Laugh before transforming into the Orchid Undead. Even Yazawa commented on how scary she was.
    Kotaro: Miyuki... what is the meaning of this?
    Miyuki: What could it be, I wonder? Why don't you use your head. (laughs)
    • Afterwards, there is also the Sadistic Choice presented to Kenzaki: Either he drops his belt or Kotaro gets strangled to death. Even after Kenzaki complied, Yazawa transformed into the Capricorn Undead and attacked him, meaning that had it not been for Hajime, Kotaro would have been killed.
     Episode 24: Mysterious Hunters 
  • Shinmei hunting down innocent individuals and turning them into werewolves that attack people, then having his Undead Hunters hunt said people down to death.
     Episode 25: A Traitor's Sprint 
  • Shinmei attempting to claw Kenzaki after he complimented him in the most feral manner before being ousted by Tachibana.
  • Even after Kotaro saved her, Miyuki attempted to inconspicuously choke him with a menacing music sting in the background.
     Episode 26: The Power Which Moves Me 
  • Shiori and Kotaro being spooked by tarantulas leaking out of Shima's bag, detailing the man's nature as the Tarantula Undead.
    Episode 32: The Destroyer's Secret 
  • Joker is the absolutely worst Undead. It's a beast that will destroy all life on Earth if left as the last Undead unsealed. It's incapable of anything else but fighting and won't stop before all Undead are sealed and it's only one left in the empty world.
    • The Joker used Spirit, the card of Human Undead, which has created a sentience split from the mindless beast. Hajime swore to never return to his original form because he would lose himself and Joker scares him like nothing else. When reminded of what happens when Joker wins the Battle Fight, he has a vision of himself stumbling through wrecked city littered with corpses and finding Haruka and Amane among them. It shocks him so much he is completely speechless and shaking for a moment.
  • Without the card of Mantis Undead, Hajime fights to maintain his form and mind, but it's a losing battle against his insticts and Joker breaking out.
    • At one point, he snarls at Amane and scares her so much she is still frozen with fear even when her mother comes to check on them a while later.
    • His snarling at Kenzaki is just as scary, but it only makes Kenzaki even more concerned.
  • The Trial D Undead chases after Kenzaki like a Terminator. It can't be sealed, can't be tracked and won't stop. Worse, Kenzaki is in pretty bad state already after being steamrolled by Caucasus Undead earlier. Even worse, he is running out of time he has to get Hajime's cards back before he loses control of himself.
    • Prof. Hirose has talked Tachibana into aiding Trial D in hunting down Kenzaki, something he does because he believes what he was told - that it's for Kenzaki's own good. Upset and nearly mad with worry, Kenzaki flips him on the ground and runs away.
  • Leangle tries to break Hajime's shaky control by just beating him barehanded as he can't really defend himself and can't transform without his cards. When that doesn't work, he continues by transforming and beating Hajime up again. And that breaks him.
    Episode 35: A Dangerous Transformation!? 
  • #35: Hajime is horrified when he feels Kenzaki access King form, because he knows what using it means. If his own struggle to maintain control had not stopped him, he would run the absolutely shortest path through any obstacles to stop Kenzaki. And he still tries anyway.
    • Royal Straight Flush leaves two singed footprints as the only remnant of Trial D and knocks Shiori out because she was standing too close. Also, the strain of using King Form knocks Kenzaki out pretty much immediately after the fights ends.
    Episode 36: Strongest Form 
  • Hajime manages to get the Mantis Undead card back from Leangle, but the creation of the King Form drives Joker into frenzy and the Fighting spirit is not enough to supress it anymore. Kenzaki unwittingly destroyed all of the efforts to approach Hajime and achieve some sort of peace between them.
    Episode 38: One Who Takes Hold Of Destiny 
  • Kenzaki is overhelmed by King form and behaves like Joker. It starts with him laughing madly and just savaging Leangle. By the time Hajime arrives, Kenzaki has already devolved into mindless beast that attacks anyone in sight and mauls Hajime and Tachibana too when they get in the way.
    Episode 42: Leangle Revived 
  • After the Titan Undead stung him, Mutsuki goes berserk with the Spider Undead slowly taking over him, attacking even the people who cared about him such as the other Riders and Nozomi.
    Episode 46: The Ruler's Seal 
  • The visual of Tennoji's head on Kerberos II's chest.
    Episode 47: Garren Eliminated 
  • Minutes after Tachibana and Kanai fell of a cliff into the waters, Hajime ended up losing control and reverting back into Joker, with a bunch of Darkroachi getting summoned and swarming about.
    Episode 48: Prologue To Destruction 
  • This and the next episode having the Darkroachi swarming and maiming people, and no matter the Riders' efforts, there is an abundant number of them, which all only stop when either Kenzaki becomes a Joker or Hajime is sealed.
