Introduction
Let's get straight to the point, this thread aim to upgrade Kamen Rider to solid 2-A and that's it.Terminology
Before continuing, here is some terminology of Kamen Rider:- A.R. Worlds (shorts for Alternate Reality Worlds): The concept of multiverse in Kamen Rider where an alternate reality based on Kamen Rider/Super Sentai are presented.
- Destroyer of Worlds: Title given to Kamen Rider Decade as the one who will destroy all universes.
Connection to Super Sentai
So back in 2009, Kamen Rider Decade was the first series to introduced us to the concept of A.R Worlds, in the All Riders vs Dai-Shocker movie, Tsukasa claim that these worlds supposedly expanding endlessly. The official dictionary of Decade also claim that there is countless worlds as well.無数の世界で戦う戦士たちの総称。
どの世界にも必ず仮面ライダーが存在する。
A general term for warriors who fight in countless worlds.
There is always a Kamen Rider in every world.
どの世界にも必ず仮面ライダーが存在する。
A general term for warriors who fight in countless worlds.
There is always a Kamen Rider in every world.
Now there is an unique A.R World called World of Shinkenger, which based on the Super Sentai team, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. This heavily implied that Kamen Rider and Super Sentai does in fact shared the same setting ever since 2000s. It later got confirmed in 2012, during Super Hero Taisen movie where a direct crossover between Kamen Rider and Super Sentai happened, it eventually become a normal things when dozen of crossover movies featuring same motif coming out every years.
So why is the connection between two franchises relevant here? Well, in the lastest entry of Super Sentai, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, we got an direct statement from Toei official page:
並行世界が無限にある世界。
そんな無数の世界が、突如悪の組織「トジテンド」の魔の手に堕ちてしまう。
A world with an infinite number of parallel worlds.
These countless worlds suddenly fall into the clutches of the evil organization "Tojitendo".
そんな無数の世界が、突如悪の組織「トジテンド」の魔の手に堕ちてしまう。
A world with an infinite number of parallel worlds.
These countless worlds suddenly fall into the clutches of the evil organization "Tojitendo".
Taking a deeper look into the context, the word 無限(Mugen) literally mean infinite here. Therefore, this is an solid 2-A statement for both Kamen Rider and Super Sentai.
Scaling Chain
Now that we known 2-A is a thing in Kamen Rider now, who would scales to this? Well, the first come to mind is Kamen Rider Decade with several statements that he will destroy all worlds, there is no reason for him to not be straight 2-A from this. The other person who can perform similer feat is Ohma Zi-O who can casually destroy space-time, and merged all realities into one while being weakened.Every person who scales to Decade will be upgrade to 2-A as well if this get accepted.
