For the original, A. R. world version or his Bujin counterpart, see Kazuma Kenzaki, Kazuma Kendate and Kamen Rider Bujin Blade.

Kazuma Kenzaki (剣崎 一真, Kenzaki Kazuma) is a character who appears in the last two episodes of Kamen Rider Decade. His actual nature and origin have received conflicting explanations in written material. He has both been described as the original Kazuma Kenzaki, after living in solitude for years or more recently just as a young man coming from another parallel world called Kazuma Kenzaki which could mean he's a separate A.R. World version of the original.

History

Kazuma's appearance in Kamen Rider Decade

This Kazuma shows up in the World of the Rider War pointing out that their real enemy isn't Dai-Shocker, appearing just before his equivalent, Kazuma Kendate and the iteration of the World of Blade was destroyed by Apollo Geist's merging of the Rider Worlds. Because he has parted with his friends, Kenzaki has seemingly grown more ruthless to the point of trying to kill Decade without mercy (something Kenzaki probably wouldn't have done before becoming an Undead) or remorse. He also has become able to transform into King Form automatically, using only the Blay Buckle and A: Change Beetle Rouze Card. His transformation screen turns from blue to gold, further emphasizing that he is able to assume King Form automatically and the screen comes to him now similar to the "Open Up!" feature rather than Kenzaki running into it.^{[The Destroyer of Worlds]}

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Notes

• The existence of this A.R. World counterpart is an debatable matter even within the realm of official material, with the first official acknowledgement that he was the original coming from OOO/Den-O/All Riders Let's Go Kamen Riders 40 Years Chronicle in 2011, but later official material like the Kodansha Series MOOK Kamen Rider Heisei Rider Vol.10: Decade from 2015 indicating that he's actually an alternate universe counterpart.
