Showa X Vampire
"You know… ever since I met him… I've always wondered what his life was like before. Now I wish I never knew."
—Moka Akashiya
Kamen Rider Chrome, the one behind Love Hina Double Trouble, Kamen Rider OOO: The Metals of Ikki Tousen, Kamen Rider Days, the ZKD Trilogy and Rosario to Kiva, has done it once again. This time he has taken two very different tales an mixed them up together. And the result is this Rosario + Vampire Mega Crossover and unofficial Kamen Rider Spirits spin-off known as Showa X Vampire.
The year is 2284 A.D. On her first day to Yokai Academy, Friendly Neighborhood Vampire Moka Akashiya finds a mysterious boy named Shinichi Sanban (later Banabara), who is unable to remember anything about himself. As the day goes by, he learns from Kamen Rider Ichigo himself that he is a super cyborg known as a Kamen Rider. Shincihi and Moka soon go on adventures that span from the monster world, to the human world, and beyond to discover the secrets of his past, making new friends and enemies as they go.
The character, Shinichi Banabara, is basically the Showa Era counterpart to Kamen Rider Decade, and fittingly, he's called Kamen Rider Showa. On another note, this is really a reboot fanfic to another Mega Crossover Kamen Rider Showa. You can find it here, but beware of major spoilers unless you've already read it.
This being a Mega Crossover, the story features several plots and characters from other franchises, both supernatural and science fiction. The list goes as follows; Red vs. Blue, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Bleach, Zoids: New Century Zero, Franken Fran, Princess Resurrection, Karin, Mega Man X, Tenchi Muyo!, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Soul Eater, Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL, My-HiME... and there's still more to come.
This fic also has a spinoff called Showa & Vampire GAIDEN: Tails of the Liger.
- Accidental Innuendo: Shinichi seemed to have a problem with this in Yukari's chapter.
"I don't like to be attacked. Now, if you don't behave I might be forced to give you a spanking...(Beat) And I just realized how dirty that sounded once I said it out loud."
"You little...you used magic on me, didn't you? Alright, I am so gonna get a thick stick and pound your ass with it! (Beat) OK...Now people are so gonna think I'm a lolicon pervert."
"I'll always cover the back of a sweet, little girl. And yeah, I know how it sounded. Lay off."
- Happens again in Chapter 15, with Lampshade Hanging:
"Now I think this will be my one and only ride. I just love the feeling of something big and hard vibrating between my legs."(Beat) 'What's wrong with me?' Shinichi thought. Did he just not have a language filter?
- Another example is in Chapter 16 when he meets Ruby:
“Well, I’ll just have to take a big pole and shove it up your ass!” (Beat)“O…kay…That sounded a lot dirtier than I intended.”
- Adaptive Armor: As of Tail 8, The Liger System turns out to be one, as it activated Torrent Form as soon as it recognized Yuji was in the ocean.
- Abusive Dad: The Freudian Excuse of Goemon.
- Michiru's handler, Dr. Montesinos, is implied to have sexually abused her.
- Amnesiac Dissonance: Shinichi, after learning everything about his past.
- All Your Powers Combined: The Legacy Mode, which combines the powers of all 13 Riders.
- Angst? What Angst?: Even after being kidnapped at young ages, being tortured and turned into cyborgs, made to kill a lot of people, and even getting killed around a year prior to the start of the story, the renegade NUMBERS have no trouble adjusting to the new environments. Although the only ones who come closer to Wangst are Daichi and Hana.
Shinichi: "Life's too short to be emo."
- Animal Motifs: So far, the Kamen Riders seen here are based on some animals:
- Kamen Rider Showa' and Kamen Rider Phan'tom: A cicada. Possable shout out to Higurashi.
- Kamen Rider Liger: Take a guess.
- Kamen Rider Necros: An Anubis. Or more accurately, a jackal.
- Kamen Rider Mega: A firefly. [1]
- Kamen Rider Carmen: An orchid mantis.
- Kamen' Rider Arac'hnea: A tarantula.
- Kamen Rider Seras: A mosquito.
- Kamen' Rider Para'syte: A tick
- Kamen Rider Scanner: A leech.
- Kamen' Rider Brea'ker: A centipede
- Kamen Rider Bomber: A gold-ringed dragonfly.
- Kamen Rider King: A dobsonfly.
- Kamen Rider Slasher: A soilder termite.
- Kamen' Rider Ze'ro: A wasp.
- Kamen Rider Armadillo: A pillbug.
- Kamen' Rider Son'ix: A cricket.
- Kamen Rider Petrifier: A jewel beetle.
- Kamen' Rider Whirl'igig: A whirligig beetle.
- Kamen Rider Whiplash: A scorpion.
- Kamen Rider Inferna: A fire ant.
- Anime Hair: Yuji is the primary source of this.
- Anti-Anti-Christ: Shinichi Banabara
- Arc Number: 13
- Astonishingly Open-Minded Parent: Shiori in a nutshell. While Shiori does worry for Shinichi's mental state and physical well-being in light of his experiences as a Kamen Rider, she is not only perfectly all right with Shinichi having a sex life, she encourages it! Fodder for her erotica novels, mind you, but still... Well, she's either this or an astonishingly rare example of the Pervert Mom... although she is just as chivalrous about her perversion as Shinichi is about his. Like mother, like son, after all.
- This also applies to Yuji's parents, Yusei and Aki. Yusei learned of GIN-SHOCKER through Carl Washam and was brought up to speed when his son returned home. Also, Aki was able to figure out that three cyborg assassins and a Dark Magical Girl were her son's girlfriends, just by meeting them! She even accepted that Yuji had developed a harem with said girls, and is actually proud of him.
- Then there's Xianglian Xang, Qiao's birth mother and Netto's surrogate mother. As an empath, she was able to quickly tell that Netto was getting a harem of his own. And she supports it!
- Attack Animal: Essentially, this is what the NUMBERS were supposed to be. Taken literally with #13 (Shinichi) who had his memories, emotions and free will stripped from him by Dr. Gebok to make him the perfect weapon. Considering the powers and weapons the NUMBERS have been equipped with, which make them very lethal in their own individual ways, it makes a lot of sense they'd be classed as cyborg weapons at the same time they are considered soldiers of GIN-SHOCKER.
- Back from the Dead: The NUMBERS.
- Lina.
- Bad Powers, Good People: Shinichi and Leon. The former was made to be the Ultimate Person of Mass Destruction, and the latter has abilities that revolve around death, not to mention that he also has the powers of every Dark Kamen Rider to exist. In spite of this, both are very nice boys and many girls keep falling for them.
- Badass Adorable: Oh, ye who trifle with Hana or Yuji shall incur the wrath of Michiru, as she cares a great deal for them both.
- Badass Biker: All Kamen Riders have to have motorbikes and Shinichi is no different. He just gets his bike (Cyclone-X3) a little later from his debut appearance. Yuji is also one with his transforming D-Wheel "White Blaze".
- Badass Normal: Out of the NUMBERS revealed so far, Kamen Rider King is the only one who isn't heavily modified and his swords don't possess any powers, yet before the Cicadroid knocked him off was able to fight and defeat Kamen Rider Showa.
- And Shinichi himself was showed to capable of fending of Sonix, Zero, and Armadillo with out his armor. He does this again with the rival monsters he scorned when he returns to Youkai Academy.
- Badass Princess: Elle Jacqueline de la Fortescue, Princess of the Sky Dragon Clan. And we can't forget Hime of course.
- Bare Your Midriff: Riza Wildman
- Barrier Warrior: Sora Matsuoka possesses a mutant ability to create hexagonal-shaped barriers of energy. She used it to protect Necros from attack from Scorpio-Borg. Also, one of Kage no Shi's abilities is to create a impenetrable shadow barrier.
- Battle Theme Music: Whenever Shinichi unlocks a new Rider in the middle of a fight, that Rider's theme song plays. Theme music is also applied during every major battle. Listening to the songs whenever the specific scene is read enhances the experience.
- Beach Episode: "The Surging Torrent"
- Berserk Button: All four main riders share the same button, and it's labeled "HARM THOSE WHO THEY CARE ABOUT".
- The Berserker: BLACK 13, or at least the Anti Rider program chip used to make him act that way before Kurumu fried it. Shinichi becomes like a relentless beast whose only purpose is to destroy other Riders. Shinichi also ends up like this when pushed too far by an imminent threat to either himself or those he cares about.
- Betty and Veronica: Michiru and Hana, respectively.
- Another example, Reiri and Hime.
- Bi the Way: Yuki, though she prefers women more.
- Aki and Shiori are implied to be this way too, if their flirting towards one another says anything.
- Big Brother Mentor: Yuji is this to Shinichi and Netto.
- Big Damn Heroes: The Yokai Academy girls, the other Riders, and even Bast-Sora and Aphrodite arrive in the nick of time to save Yukari and provide Shinichi with very valuable backup, ending with a vicious curb-stomping of the GIN-SHOCKER NUMBERS.
- The Big Damn Kiss: "How's that for a down payment?"
- Bishounen: Netto is described to be this. Most likely takes after his mother.
- Black Eyes of Evil: Not exactly evil per se, but Shinichi's eyes do occasionally turn black when he's starting to get seriously angry.
- Yuji's eyes get like this whenever his alter ego, Abyss, takes over.
- Blondes Are Evil: Dr. Gebok
- Blood Knight: Riza loves to fight. It's in her nature.
- Bondage Is Bad: Kurumu has Ruby put in handcuffs and puts a ball gag on her. She also has a supply of vibrators to be used for 'interrogating' the prisoner.
- Bond One-Liner: Showa's "Game Over!"
- Also, Mega's "You are Deleted!"
- Birds of a Feather: Goemon and Ren seem to be this, as they quickly bonded over a common interest --- break-dancing.
- Catgirl: Bast, the Egyptian Goddess of Joy, obviously. Don't forget Nekonome-sensei and Blair.
- Calling Your Attacks: Obviously. This was a standard in the Showa Era when the Rider calls out any of their special techniques.
- The Casanova: Shinichi is a mild example. Whenever he complements a lady, he does so with honesty.
- Chekhov's Gun: While Kurumu's Charm is strong enough to enslave all boys in school at once, it's also apparently strong enough to fry mind control chips embedded in cybernetic brains.
- Chick Magnet: Shinichi, Leon, Yuji, and Netto.
- Children Forced to Kill: One of GIN-SHOCKERS major policies is absolutely no witnesses. The NUMBERS are often the ones being forced to take care of those loose ends, despite some of them not being happy to do it.
- Childhood Friends: Hime and Reiri. These two girls were Shinichi's kindergarten friends before he was kidnapped by Gebok so they haven't seen him for ten years. Hime even states that the last time they saw him was on the day before his sixth birthday, February 13th, when Shiori was planing a party. Upon hearing he has returned they go to see him and discover he's a cyborg and a Kamen Rider as a result.
- Childhood Friend Romance: Netto and Qiao.
- Shinichi's harem believe that Hime and Reiri might become this for Shinichi. Subverted as they don't have romantic feelings for him, but still care a great deal for him.
- Child Soldiers: The NUMBERS.
- Chinese Girl: Netto's girlfriend, Qaio Xang.
- Chivalrous Pervert: Shinichi respects the females he's with even if he does appreciate the view.
- Clothes Make the Superman: Showa changes forms into the other Riders, gaining their appearance and also their abilities. Applies to his friends when he uses the "Form Ride" on them as well. Necros can do the same thing as well.
- Combination Attack: An old time favorite.
- Liger Ze'ro Phoenix' w/Ruby: "Crimson Mystic Inferno" [2]
- Liger Zero w/Inferno Leo Mega: "Wrath of the Beast King" [3]
- Arac'hnea' w/Carmen and Seras: "Triple Rider Otome Attack" [4]
- Showa Legacy w/Inner Moka: "Double Legacy Cyclone" [5]
- Showa as BLACK w/ Necros as Shadow Moon: "Twin Kingstone Flash" [6]
- Cool Big Sis: Bast is this to Leon.
- Despite always treating him as the older one, Yuki is actually this for Yuji. No pun intended.
- Hime views herself as an older sister to Shinichi.
- Crossdresser: Shinichi, when he was a little kid. His mom thought he looked adorable in dresses so his mom dressed him up in frilly dresses. He was embarrassed to see this included in the DVD.
- Curb Stomp Battle: Necros vs King.
- Saizou thought by gathering those with a grudge against Shinichi would overwhelm him. He though wrong.
- Cute Little Fangs: Too many Cute Monster Girls to count
- Cute Mute: The "cute" part is debatable, but Chiaki can't talk due to the scientist who converted him into a cyborg taking away his speech organs. He instead communicates with signs that he pulls out of the air. Even the cast doesn't know how he does it.
- Uh Vocal Chords are membranes attached to the throat, that vibrate at different speeds to facilitate tone, volume and pitch.
- What's your point? They say it was taken away.
- Cyborg: Shinichi is one, like the Showa Era Kamen Riders before him. Netto Kusanagi is also a cyborg, as is the rest of the NUMBERS.
- Implied with Dr.Gebok.
- GIN-SHOCKER appears to be collecting some Youkai to turn into cyborgs now.
- Implied with Dr.Gebok.
- Dark and Troubled Past: It's implied that a lot of the main characters are cursed with this.
- Dark Is Evil: BLACK 13, as he was created to kill all other Kamen Riders.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Kamen Rider Necros, whose Rider System is based on death and who has the ability to mimic the forms and abilities of various "Dark Kamen Riders," but who is most pointedly one of the good guys.
- Death Seeker: Leon Smith.
- Deader Than Dead: As of Tail 4 of GAIDEN, King, Bomber, Petrifier, and Parasyte. Abyss showed them NO Mercy.
- Demonic Possession: Or rather, Godly Possession, as Bast, Egyptian Cat Goddess of Joy can possess Sora due to a pact she made with her.
- Dirty Coward: Jin, AKA Petrifier, "is considered a greedy thief among the NUMBERS, often looking out for the rewards he stands to gain. It is this behavior which does not make him well-liked or trusted. Given the chance, he'd sell his own mother."
- Dirty Old Man: Anubis. Yes, the Egyptian God of Death, Anubis.
- Did You Just Have Sex?: In Chapter 26, Yuki congratulates Netto for "finally becoming a man".
- Doppelganger: After the fiasco with the mermaids, Shinichi is assumed to be one.
- Doppelganger Spin: Storm Dragon Mega can move fast enough that he can create an "Accelerated Decoy" to take attacks while he attacks from somewhere else.
- Does Not Like Women: Daichi.
- Doomed Hometown: Hana's ninja village.
- Dream Sequence: Shinichi unlocks a new Rider each chapter by having a daydream (usually in the middle of battle) where he meets the Rider whose power he is going to unlock.
- Don't Sneak Up On Me Like That: Bianca does this a lot. Leon less so.
- Elemental Powers: The new youkai featured in the story can manipulate an elemental power.
- Blow You Away: Elle, a dragon, can control wind currents. Yusei's Manakyte powers allow him to control wind as well, gearing more towards speed rather than offense or defense.
- Casting a Shadow: Leon Smith's Zanpakuto grants him shadow abilities when it's released.
- An Ice Person: Yuki can generate and control ice, granted from her Manakyte heritage.
- Light the Way/The Power of the Sun: Qiao can manipulate blasts of solar energy.
- Making a Splash: Aphrodite, another Manakyte, can use hydrokinesis.
- Playing with Fire: Yuji and Aki's Manakyte Blood grants them control over fire.
- Poisonous Person: This is shown to be Mephisto's element, and Darkness being his Manakyte type.
- Also, Shinichi gains a elemental power depending on what rider he changes to:
- Blow You Away: As Ichigo, Nigo, V3, and Skyrider.
- Shock and Awe: As V3 and Stronger.
- Playing with Fire/An Ice Person: As Super-1 using the Hot/Cold Hands.
- The Power of the Sun: As BLACK and BLACK RX.
- Time Master: Implied to be Showa's power.
- Mega also has element abilities based on what form he changes into.
- An Ice Person: His Diamond Pegasus form grants him ice based attacks.
- Blow You Away: His Storm Dragon form grants him wind based attacks.
- Playing with Fire: His Inferno Leo form grants him fire based attacks.
- Shock and Awe: He can turn into lightning to avoid attacks and also attack without risking damage a-la Biorider.
- Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Showa becomes Super-1 to fend off Mizore using the Hot[7] /Cold Hands during her introductory chapter.
- EMP: Shown with Dr.Gebok, they can harm Shinichi, and at higher frequencies, possibly kill him. Also, the Stasis Cuffs can emit EMP to paralyses cyborgs. Justified, as Shinichi is a cyborg, so it can affect him.
- Electronic Eyes: A lot of the teen cyborgs have these, but Netto really shows them off whenever he uses his powers.
- Erotic Eating: Misato does this with a banana to tease Yuji.
- Everyone Get in Here: Just about all of Shinichi and Moka's friends in Youkai Academy show up to face Phantom/Lina on their behalf.
- Everything Is Online: Even in the Youkai World.
- Everything's Better with Motorcycles: Not just better, but it just has to be included. He's a Kamen Rider. He needs it.
- Evil Minions: GIN-SHOCKER Soldiers and Cyborg Mutants.
- Expressive Hair: Shinichi's Hair Antennae can twitch around whenever his Danger Sense kicks in. They can also move on their own whenever he feels embarrassed or flustered.
- Face Palm: Shinichi does this after Yukari announces her intentions towards Shinichi and Moka to his fellow NUMBERS.
- False Friend: Daichi sees Shinichi as this. He was unaware of his condition at the time, but did consider him as his only friend. Today, he doesn't even accept his apology, refuses to believe that he has changed, and even wonders why he has girls after him even after all he's done. Justified that a lot has happened in Daichi's life that caused him to be like that. But at least he's forgiven him now.
- Fantasy Kitchen Sink: This is what you get when you pair up a cyborg with a vampire.
- Finishing Move: Like his Heisei Counterpart, Showa can use any of the finishing moves of the riders he transforms to. Necros possibly can use the finishers of the Dark Riders he assumes as well.
- w/ Vulcan Shooter: "Rider Shooting" [8]
- Showa Higurashi Mode: "Rider Burst Kick" [9]
- BLACK 13: A powerful Rider Kick equal to the Rider Burst Kick.
- Legacy Charge, activated by Showa Legacy attaching the Legacy Driver to the Legacy Saber, or by twisting up the Legacy Driver on his Spark Core:
- Full Charge, activated by Kamen Rider Liger pressing a button on his belt:
- Final Break, activated by Kamen Rider Necros inserting a Rider Key into his weapon:
- Necros 1: "Necros Strike" [18]
- Necros 2: Kamen Rider Necros blurs as he slashes the target, leaving a golden trail as he moves.
- Final Download, activated by Kamen Rider Mega tapping the core on his belt.
- Kamen' Rider Arac'hnea is currently the only secondary Rider to have a finisher of her own:
- "Tarantula Blitz" [23]
- Five-Man Band:
- The Hero: Shinichi Banabara/Kamen Rider Showa
- The Lancer: Leon Smith/Kamen Rider Necros
- The Smart Guy: Netto Kusanagi/Kamen Rider Mega
- The Big Guy: Yuji Fudo/Kamen Rider Liger
- Action Girl: Nearly ALL the females on the heroes' side
- Foreshadowing: "You can't beat me when it comes to the air, BLACK 13! Dead or alive, you will return to GIN-SHOCKER!"
- "Seriously, he thinks I'm a secret agent? Next thing you know he's gonna say I was kidnapped at a young age and was brainwashed! …Why does that sound familiar?"
- When Sonix asks if Inner Moka is a Mutant, she retorts, "You're suggesting I'm human."
- When Yuji's girls have their fantasies about Yuji's being a mob boss, Hana imagines him having ninja bodyguards. It's later revealed that she comes from a long line of ninjas.
- For the Evulz: Regardless of what was done to them as children to transform them into the killing machines they are today, the remaining NUMBERS on GIN-SHOCKER's side are now doing it just for the thrill of bloodshed and the power they've been given.
- Flash Back: The Family Arc has flashbacks in it, focused on the NUMBERS during their pre-BLACK 13 days. It shows they were a pretty close-knitted and organized group, with the exception of King who is still a douchebag. Also, it's another Shout-Out to Red vs. Blue Season 9 since all the scenes were based on the Project Freelancer flashbacks.
- Flat What: Misato's reaction when Yukari loudly announces her intentions towards Shinichi and Moka. Yuki get's this reaction as well.
- Freudian Trio: Hana, calm, collected, and calculating (Superego); Misato, rambunctious and reckless party animal, always one of the first to start fights (Id); Michiru, the perky voice of reason, but easy to anger (Ego).
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire
- Funbag Airbag: Done with Ruby walking into Aki's cleavage.
- Fun with Acronyms: NUMBERS: Neo-Underworld Multi-Bionically Enhanced Revenge Squad. And BLACK 13: Black Legion Assault Chaos Killer 13.
- War Hunter Initiative Terminal Executioner 14, or WHITE 14 for short.
- Genre Busting: Action, comedy, romance, thriller, fantasy, gothic horror, sci fi, drama, slice of life, mystery, and ecchi, all rolled up in a single package.
- Gentle Giant: Chiaki in a nutshell.
- Golden Super Mode: Legacy Mode.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Shinichi has a very distinctive scar over his left eyebrow. It looks like the Roman numeral for 13; XIII. The other NUMBERS also have similar scars over other parts of their flesh depending on their rank.
- Goth: Hana is discribed as a gothic-looking girl with deathly-pale skin.
- Groin Attack: Kotsubo gets a well deserved one. Another reference to Red vs. Blue.
- Hair Antennae: Both Shinichi and Shiori sport these. They even serve as warning systems.
- Half-Identical Twins: Yuji and Yuki. Her cool temperament matches in contrast to his more fiery nature.
- Harmful to Minors: This is why Yukari was tricked into going out when the recording mentioned in Moral Event Horizon was shown; nobody wanted to scar another child for life.
- Having a Blast: From explosive nanites to making toy bombs, Para'syte' is this trope.
- Bomber isn't afraid to let go of the bombs in his chestplate.
- He Who Fights Monsters: How Leon views himself.
- Henshin Hero: Self-explanatory.
- Heroic BSOD: Shinichi falls into a coma after seeing the face of his first love, Lina, a psychic girl who he was tricked into killing, now revived as a cyborg and the Jager Unit commander. His mind couldn't bare the information.
- Heroic RROD: The Kage no Chidori left Leon incredibly weak following his fight with Mephisto. It didn't stop him from going into battle against King though.
- Heroic Safe Mode: Under intense stress from what he senses as an imminent threat to his life or to that of someone he cares for, Shinichi lapses into a kind of fugue state where his fighting instincts completely dominate his body and mind and he becomes a much more brutally efficient combatant, as there is nothing else on his mind except for vanquishing the immediate threat.
- Hidden Depths: Leon considers himself as a monster, considering that all of his past friends had died and he may have been factor. Yuji hadn't been with another girl, other than his sister, since the death of his first girlfriend. And Netto was previously angry at Daichi for blaming Shinichi for the actions of Gebok, which somehow reminded him of some "close-mind bigots" who scared his then innocent mind.
- Homeschooled Kids: Netto and Qiao where both home-schooled before meeting Shinichi. Though they aren't socially inept, perhaps due to interacting with Yuji and Yuki, both high school graduates, regularly.
- Home Movies: For most of his life, Shinichi has been tortured and manipulated by GIN-SHOCKER, especially by Gebok. But, there was a time before that when he was happy with his family. In Chapter 31 he found a DVD his mother snuck into his bag. Discovering that it was his family's home movies he decided to share these moments with his friends during a club meeting. It shows Shinichi's time before GIN-SHOCKER, a happier time.
- Hospital Hottie: Hana and Michiru always have nurse costumes ready for the right time.
- Hour of Power: The NUMBERS's Spark Burst, as first demonstrated by Petrifier, can increase a NUMBER's physical and special abilities ten-fold for a minute, then it forcibly deactivates the armor and prevents transforming for one hour.
- Leon, being a vizard, can create a hollow mask while increasing his abilities, but only for the maximum of seven minutes.
- Hot Dad: Yusei Fudo, now in his forties, but doesn't look a day over 20. he's now a scientist in his hometown and is the one who developed the Liger Belt. His voice makes the fangirls swoon. Now the girls know where Yuji gets his looks from.
- Dr. Carl Washam also counts, being the adopted father of Misato. Being well-built, intelligent and well-versed in fighting, Carl is a Papa Bear that has earned Shiori's attention.
- Hot Mom: Shinichi's birth mother, Shiori Banabara, is a novelist who writes adult romance novels. Basically, her books have very hot and juicy sex scenes which she is famous for. She also looks young for her age and is said to be very attractive.
- Yuji's birth mother, Aki Izayoi (now Fudo), is a capable doctor who lives happily with her husband.
- Qiao's mother, Xianglian Xang, who likes to flirt with younger men like Yuji and Shinichi.
- Huge Schoolgirl: Elle stands about four inches taller than most of the male characters. Of course, Qiao, Yuki, and Aphrodite could be considered this too.
- I Am Not Left-Handed: Inner Moka believed that disarming Sonix would prevent him from using his powers, then Sonix got up and opened up his chest plate. Being a vampire with super hearing, this had a huge effect on her.
- I Am a Monster: What Leon thinks of himself. Hana, due to her additional arms, also refers to herself as a freak but Yuji denies this.
- I Am Who?: Shinichi goes through this for the first several arcs.
- Identity Amnesia: Shinichi is unable to remember anything about himself except for his name.
- I'll Kill You!: Yuji does this, roaring out in outrage the name of Michiru's handler Montesinos and describes gruesome means of ending his life.
- Improbable Hairstyle: Yuji's hairstyle is inherited from his father, Yusei Fudo.
- I'm Taking Her Home with Me: Aphrodite does this with anything and anyone that strikes her fancy.
- In a Single Bound
- Incredibly Lame Pun: Tails of the Liger
- Instant Expert: Whenever he unlocks a new Rider, he instantly knows how to use their powers without any practice. He knows all their techniques, skills and abilities.
- In the Blood: Yuji and Yuki both have psychic powers and draconic lineage, courtesy of their mother and father, Aki Izayoi-Fudo and Yusei Fudo.
- In the Name of the Moon: When Showa first turned into Legacy Mode he said, "Piercing the Darkness! The Heir of the 13 Kamen Riders of Legend! Kamen Rider Showa… Legacy Mode!"
- Irony: Like in canon, Moka is ranked number 13 in the midterm results, which is the same number that Shinichi is apparently designated as. This didn't slip by her.
- Ironic Echo Cut: When Michru asks Kurumu if Shinichi is a lolicon...
Yukari: (pointing to a love hotel) "Let's go there."
Shinichi: "Yukari-chan!"
Yukari: "Just kidding."
- Iron Woobie: After seeing what Shinichi has suffered and yet bounced back from, albeit by repressing nearly all memory of it ever happening to him, it's plausible that he is this, as he's not The Stoic nor is he a Jerkass or an Omnicidal Maniac driven by his suffering to end the world... even if BLACK 13 has the potential to become the last one.
- It's All My Fault: The Freudian Trio (look above for more info) feels this way as Yuji is targeted by GIN-SHOCKER, due to the girls defecting for his sake.
- Just in Time: Yuji shows up to save Ruby from being 'interrogated' by Kurumu.
- Kick Them While They Are Down: After Shinichi falls in a coma after his encounter with Lina, Dr. Kyofu sends Weapon D after him while he's defenseless.
- Knight Templar Love Interest: Intersecting with the Knight Templar Parent and Knight Templar Big Brother and a more unisex version of Violently Protective Girlfriend, this love interest responds to any and all threats to their beloved's well-being with levels of violence even a Heroic Sociopath would appreciate or be horrified by. If the Knight Templar Love Interest is themselves a Heroic Sociopath... well, you know what to expect, but the point is that like the Knight Templar Parent and the Knight Templar Big Brother, hurting the person this lovesick badass holds most dear is a ticket to your own painful defeat, if not death. The worse ones won't even be so merciful as to kill you quickly or even let you expire at all.
- Killer Rabbit: Michiru. While she's cute and perky most of the time, remember that she's murdered hundreds of people in the past ten years of her life.
- Kill the Ones You Love: Well, not exactly "love", but #13 did think fondly of his fellow NUMBERS. When he realized what he was made to do, he went insane.
- Taken to an even higher level after being tricked into killing Lina. And then he began killing everything else.
- Also implied with Leon.
- Kiss of the Vampire: It just wouldn't be a Rosario + Vampire fic without this.
- Kitsune: Qiao is a five-tailed huli jing.
- Tamao is a kitsune cub. It's later revealed that she's the current incarnation of Tamamo no Mae, the strongest of all kitsune.
- Xianglian too. Netto stated that she is a full fledged nine-tails.
- Large Ham: "I AM…THE AMAZING AND STUPENDOUS, SUPREME GENIUS OF THIS WORLD… DR. GEBOK! MY GENIUS LIGHTS UP THE SKY!"
- Laser Guided Tykebomb: Apparently, Shinichi was designed from the very beginning to destroy all orignal Kamen Riders.
- Legacy Hero: Shinichi has inherited the powers of the Legendary (Showa Era) Kamen Riders.
- Lethal Chef: BLACK 13. He doesn't care about flavor. Only nutrients matter. His cooking could taste like sewer water for all he cares as long as it was healthy. That being said, at least Inner Moka tries to make her cooking edible.
- Lightning Bruiser: In a literal example, Kamen Rider Mega.
- Like Brother and Sister: Shinichi and Hime.
- Loads and Loads of Characters: This being a Mega Crossover, it's to be expected.
- Lolicon: In some ways, it seems Yukari is trying to manipulate Shinichi into becoming one, at least if her teasing about making him take her to a love hotel is anything to go by.
- Loophole Abuse: Daichi finds one in his hatred for Shinichi; it's #13 he's mad at, and Shinichi, despite looking like #13, is very much not the same as the emotionless weapon that killed him and the other NUMBERS without hesitation. So Daichi tries to give Shinichi a chance based on that logic.

Doesn't really help for Netto that Qiao would like "playmates" of their own too.
- No Kill Like Overkill: What Abyss does to the four NUMBERS that attacked him and Misato/Seras. To quote, King has his body burned by Hellfire and his Spark Core destroyed and Petrifier was devoured in one gulp by Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon.

Clearly, pretty shocking, even after ten years of not seeing each other. They saw someone who cried a lot when he was six crush the skull of a monster. Reiri even suggested to Hime that they make him into a Blood Warrior.

- The Stations of the Canon: This story takes some of the original parts of the manga, tears them up, and makes something new out of them. For example, during Kurumu's intro chapter, a Spider-Borg and Bat-Borg come to retrieve Shinichi, and the both girls attempt to escape them. In Gin's chapter, Shinichi was apparently three steps ahead of him when the werewolf attempted to make him look like a shameless pervert.

But Kurmuru's Charm ablilty seemed to disable that programing. Well, not anymore.
- When one of Yuji's loved ones is harmed, an alternate personaility named Abyss takes control, using the powers of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon to destroy those responsible before giving Yuji back the reins.
- Super Empowering: As a side effect of his Mega Manning ability with the Showa-era Kamen Riders, Shinichi can temporarily transfer the powers of one Showa Rider into another person, creating a "Form Ride" that transforms said person into a replica of the Rider in question. As he's so far only done it with the members of his harem, this has created plenty of Gender-Flipped Kamen Riders to fight alongside Showa.
- Super Speed: BLACK 13. He's so fast he's like a blur of motion. Leon Smith also has this, leading the girls to wonder if he is a werewolf. Then we have Lightning Saix who's really fast, but Ligar's Jagar form counteracts this. Zero, according to Inner Moka, can move at bullet speeds.

It explains Shinichi's resolve after he discovers much of his past in GIN-SHOCKER, and being completely aware of what they had done.
- Revenge: Shinichi wants to get back at GIN-SHOCKER for what they did to him and the other NUMBERS. His friends, Yuji and Inner Moka especially, are willing to back him up.
