"My predictions are never wrong."
―Tezuka on his fortune telling ability[src]

"When I made that prediction, the next Rider to go was actually you. But fate has changed."
―Tezuka revealing to Shinji that he was supposedly to die in his place according to his prediction.[src]

Miyuki Tezuka (手塚 海之, Tezuka Miyuki) is a fortune-teller who becomes Kamen Rider Raia (仮面ライダーライア, Kamen Raidā Raia) in an effort to stop the Rider Fight and change the fates of the Kamen Riders.

History[]

Kamen Rider Ryuki[]

He is a very accurate fortune-teller that believes in predestination. He fights to stop the Rider Fight and change their fates, similar to Shinji/Kamen Rider Ryuki, making him among the few honorable and noble Riders in the series. Though he was given the left Survive card, Tezuka gave it to Kamen Rider Knight, even though that could have made him stronger. Tezuka was not the original deck holder that was chosen to become a Rider. The real chosen one was Yuichi Saito, an excellent pianist and dear friend to Tezuka, who had lost his ability to play when a mugger (later revealed to be Takeshi Asakura) broke his hands and ruined his ability to play. Kanzaki later appeared before Yuichi to offer the restoration of his hands if he becomes a Rider, but Yuichi refused to sacrifice anyone's life and was eaten by the monster GuldThunder. Taking Yuichi's Card Deck, Tezuka later contracted Evildiver and became a Rider to honor his friend's decision by ending the Rider War.

While at a square performing Coin Fortune Telling, Tezuka notices Ren and reads his future before revealing himself as a Rider. Though he overpowered Knight but not intent on dealing the deathblow, Raia is shocked with Knight's suicidal counterattack. But after the fight, Tezuka tells Ren that he cannot win the Rider War because of the doubt in his heart. After seeing a vision of Knight being defeated by Kamen Rider Gai, Tezuka prods at Ren to know the truth behind him when he meets Shinji, who also intends to stop the fighting among the Riders. Tezuka aids Ryuki and Knight in dealing with Gai before he (Gai) is killed off by Ouja.

Changing Destiny[]

"At last...I changed fate..."
―Tezuka before his death[src]
Raia Death

Raia's death at the hands of Ouja

Raia died during a fight against Ouja. When Ouja performed his Final Vent against Ryuki, Raia pushed him out of the way and took the attack instead. He died shortly afterwards due to his wounds. Being a very accurate fortune teller, he knew Ryuki was the one to be killed and let himself take the blow instead. Before he was about to die, Tezuka sensed something off with Yui but he never got the chance to tell Shinji before dying in his arms.

Timeline reset[]

After Shiro restored time to its proper course after Yui's death, Tezuka was given a second chance in life with no memory of being a Rider and was seen doing tarot card readings on the corner of the street. Tezuka briefly encounters Shinji, telling him that misfortune was coming his way. Immediately afterwards, Shinji's bike was kicked by an annoyed Asakura, much to Shinji's dismay. [A New Life]

Personality[]

In strong contrast to most other participants of the Rider War, Miyuki is a benevolent figure, fighting as a Kamen Rider solely to protect the innocent. Having lost his close friend Yuichi Saito from a Mirror Monster, Miyuki became determined to fight for justice, allying himself with Shinji Kido/Kamen Rider Ryuki.

Being an incredibly skilled fortune teller, Miyuki has astute reasoning, bordering onto supernatural. Though confident in his predictions, Miyuki strongly believes the future to be in constant flux, encouraging others to overcome any misfortunes he predicted.

Though normally a calm individual, Miyuki's grief from Yuichi's death can cause him to become hot-headed and violent, acting recklessly when facing GuldThunder in battle. Upon GuldThunder's defeat though, Miyuki quickly regained his normal persona, explaining to Shinji the reason for his aggressive behavior.

Not wishing for any of his rival participants to die, Miyuki does not actively compete against them, to the point of giving the Survive Shippu card to Ren Akiyama/Kamen Rider Knight as a means of self-protection. Even when faced with certain death, Miyuki unregrettingly sacrificed himself to save Shinji's life, asking his friend to stop the Rider War in his stead.

Notes[]

  • Aside from Ryuki, Raia is the only one who has been a hero in both Ryuki's series and movies. (Knight and Zolda were once anti-heroes while Femme was a villain in 13 Riders.)
  • Strangely, when sacrificing himself to save Shinji, Miyuki noted this as his first incorrect prediction, despite his earlier prediction of Ren's death also being prevented by Shinji's hands[6].
