In this article, we would like to explore Kamen Rider Ouja in more detail. Check out the full discussion below!
His Personality
Takeshi Asakura is a very chaotic and dangerous man. He has a temperamental nature, is prone to violence, and enjoys fighting. He also lacks empathy for others.
Unlike other Riders who have desires to fulfill, Asakura views battles between Riders as entertainment. He doesn't hesitate to destroy other Riders on the battlefield.
He Has Criminal Record
Asakura has displayed a problematic personality since childhood. In the past, he set fire to his house, killing both of his parents. He also destroyed the career of a young pianist named Yuichi Saito, who was good friends with Tezuka.
Due to the incident, Asakura was imprisoned. Kitaoka was appointed as his lawyer, but Kitaoka refused to help Asakura because he disliked Asakura's arrogance.
While he was frustrated, Asakura was approached by Shiro Kanzaki and offered to become a Rider. Without hesitation, he accepted the offer. He successfully escaped from prison and became a fugitive.
He Has Contract with Three Mirror Monsters
Kamen Rider Ouja initially only had one contract monster, Venosnaker, which resembled a cobra. After defeating Kamen Riders Gai and Raia, he formed contracts with both Riders' contract monsters, Metalgelas and Evildiver.
Kamen Rider Ouja was also able to use Gai and Raia's weapons. Interestingly, he could combine Venosnaker, Metalgelas, and Evildiver into a new monster called Genocider.
His Fighting Style
Kamen Rider Ouja is a Rider type who excels in close-range combat. He has an aggressive and brutal fighting style. He also frequently uses a Sword Vent shaped like a cobra's fangs.
Kamen Rider Ouja doesn't hesitate to resort to dirty tricks, such as using other Riders as shields or attacking helpless enemies. He finds great satisfaction in destroying other Riders.
He is Obsessed with Destroying Ryuki and Zolda
Of all the Riders, Kamen Rider Ouja holds a personal grudge against Ryuki and Zolda. He initially considered Ryuki a foolish Rider. However, he began to view him as a rival after realizing Ryuki's dangerous power.
Meanwhile, Ouja harbors a deep hatred for Zolda after discovering his true identity as Kitaoka. He wants to eliminate Zolda so he can avenge Kitaoka, who once refused to become his lawyer.
He Can Access Survive Form
After a long absence, Takeshi Asakura reappears and fights as Kamen Rider Ouja in Kamen Rider Outsiders. Interestingly, he gains Survive Form like Ryuki and Knight.
Ouja's armor also turns golden purple. Additionally, Kamen Rider Ouja's fighting abilities have significantly improved. He was even able to defeat Kamen Rider Odin with his new Final Vent.
