Icon-decadeThis article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Decade.

For the original Kamen Rider Kabuto, see Soji Tendo.

Sohji (ソウジ, Sōji) is a resident of the World of Kabuto in Kamen Rider Decade. An alternative incarnation of Soji Tendo/Kamen Rider Kabuto, he was formerly an agent of ZECT, being given the Kabuto Zecter. At some point though, Sohji was framed for a crime by the Phylloxera Worm, becoming a wanted criminal as Kabuto. Simultaneously, Sohji's Clock Up function was damaged, trapping him in Clock Up mode.

Undeterred by this, Sohji continued his crusade as a Kamen Rider, protecting his sister, grandmother, and all other innocents from the Worm menace. Encountering Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade, Sohji helped him fight against the Phylloxera Worm, stopping the latter's evil plans.

Later, from the mergence of the Rider worlds, Sohji and the rest of the World of Kabuto was destroyed, being wiped from existence. However, Tsukasa's sacrifice would undo this, restoring Sohji back to life. His Rider system repaired, Sohji assisted Tsukasa in fighting Dai-Shocker's forces, transforming into Kabuto Hyper Form in the process.

History[]

Kamen Rider Decade[]

World of Kabuto[]

He is a young man who had been given the Kabuto Zecter by the ZECT corporation to be one of its agents in destroying the Worm menace that befell his world. Prior to the start of the Kabuto World arc, Sohji encountered the Phylloxera Worm, the latter mimicking Sohji's form. Attacking the disguised Worm, Sohji gouged out its right eye, with his sister Mayu as the sole witness. Somehow, Sohji's Clock Up system as Kabuto malfunctioned afterwards, trapping Sohji in warp speed. This incident led to Sohji's Worm mimic becoming Soh Otogiri, the user of the TheBee Zecter, and Mayu to hold a grudge against Kabuto, believing that he murdered her brother Sohji.

Worse, Soh manipulated ZECT into deeming Sohji as an agent gone rogue, causing the other ZECT riders to pursue him. In spite of all this, Sohji coninued to fight against the Worms alone, while also protecting his sister from danger whenever needed.

In Tsukasa Kadoya's arrival to the World of Kabuto, he and Natsumi first witnessed Sohji when the latter was saving Mayu, surprised by Sohji's immense speed as Kabuto. Later, when using Faiz's powers, Tsukasa briefly encounters Sohji once more, during which Sohji protected Mayu and defeated TheBee. Mayu only catches a glimpse of Kabuto, before turning her attention on Soh. Meanwhile, at awe over Kabuto's powers, Daiki voices his desire to steal it,

Afterwards, using Mayu as bait, Daiki draws out Sohji, fighting him with a copy of Psyga and Ixa as back-up. Despite their ability to counter Kabuto's speed, Sohji overwhelms all three in battle, retreating once victorious. Angered by his humiliating defeat, Daiki declares that he will gain Clock Up mode by any means neccesary.

Later, the group under Otogiri commissions the development of a Clock Down System before tricking Mayu into being a prisoner. Eventually, the truth behind Kabuto is revealed as the Clock Down System takes effect when he attempts to save Mayu, who has been revealed to be the Native Sisyra Worm, from Otogiri. Suddenly, Tsukasa arrives to aid Sohji and Mayu, giving the two a brief moment to speak with one another. In their reunion, Mayu asks Sohji why he was unconcerned with her identity as a Worm, being despairful of the revelation. In a loving manner, Sohji reaffirms their bond as siblings, citing it as the sole truth that matters. With Mayu able to move past her grief, Soji tells her retreat, transforming with Tsukasa in their Rider forms. Though at a disadvantage, both Kamen Riders prove skillful enough to counter Clock Up, forcing the Phylloxera Worm to fly away from them. Tsukasa then activates Kabuto's Final Form Ride, chasing after their foe to destroy it and the tower which broadcasted the Clock Down waves. Sohji slowly disappears back into traveling at the speed of light as Mayu sees him for one last time. [Warning: Kabuto Running Amok] [The Grandma Way of Taste]

Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010[]

Kabuto and Super-1 (The Last Story)

Kabuto with Super-1, who tells Skyrider to be careful in his search for Decade

Kamen Rider Kabuto appears in the initial scene of Decade's story in Movie War 2010, with differing interpretations as to whom he is[1][2]. He searches for Decade alongside Skyrider and Kamen Rider Super-1, with Skyrider immediately being defeated by a surprise attack. Kabuto and Decade use Clock Up, but Decade combines that ability with invisibility, taking him out with another surprise attack. Kabuto's horn breaks and the only thing left behind is the horn and Kabuto`s Kamen Ride card, the latter picked up by Decade to complete his mission.

Later, with Tsukasa's sacrifice, the Nine A.R. worlds are resurrected, alongside their inhabitants. Sohji is shown to have been revived as well, no longer stuck in Rider form. Grateful towards Tsukasa, Sohji assists Natsumi and the others in reviving him, their memories bringing him back to existence.

With the threat of Super Shocker still looming, Sohji as Kabuto arrives alongside the other Riders to fight alongside Tsukasa, his Clock Up system shown repaired. Throughout the battle, Sohji assumes Kabuto Hyper form with the help of Decade's K-Touch and later into his Zector Kabuto form with the All Rider Final Form Ride Card to fight the Super Crisis Fortress.

Personality[]

Compared to his original counterpart Soji Tendo, Sohji is more friendly and humble in general, showing little signs of arrogance towards others. Despite being forced to live alone at near lightspeed for several untold years, Sohji remained adamant in protecting his sister and humanity, showcasing his incredible willpower. Like Soji, Sohji has no qualms accepting his sister as a Worm, something which he assures in their conversation.

Abilities[]

Like his original counterpart, Sohji is an immensely formidable fighter, easily defeating Soh as TheBee in seconds. Even when ambushed by Daiki Kaito/Kamen Rider Diend, Sohji overwhelmed him and a copy of Ixa and Psyga simultaneously, overcoming their ability to track Riders in Clock Up mode. Evidently, when using his Maximum Hyper Cyclone attack against Doras, Sohji only used one hand to execute the attack, as opposed to Tendo who uses both hands to withstand the backlash.

Forms[]

Just like the original Kabuto, Sohji's arsenal revolves around the use of the Kabuto Zecter to transform into Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Masked Form
KRKa-Kabutomasked

Masked Form

"Henshin!"
―Transformation announcement[src]
  • Height: 190 cm[3]
  • Weight: 132 kg[3]
  • Punching Power: 8 t[3]
  • Kicking Power: 10 t[3]
  • Maximum Jump Height: 20 m[3]
  • Maximum Running Speed: 100 m/8.9 s[3]

Sohji only used Kabuto's Masked Form (マスクドフォーム, Masukudo Fōmu) when he transformed with Tsukasa Kadoya to fight Phylloxera Worm. Once affixed to the Henshin Belt, Sohji assumes his armored Masked Form, but this armor can be taken off to become the sleeker Rider Form. Unlike in the series, the Zecter didn't announce the usual CHANGE BEETLE when Kabuto casts off, although it still retained the CAST OFF exclamation.


Rider Form
KRKa-Kabutorider

Rider Form

"Cast Off!"
―Transformation announcement[src]
  • Height: 195 cm[3]
  • Weight: 95 kg[3]
  • Punching Power: 3 t[3]
  • Kicking Power: 7 t[3]
    • Rider Kick Finisher: 19 t[3]
  • Maximum Jump Height: 37 m[3]
  • Maximum Running Speed: 100 m/5.8 s[3]

In most of his appearances in Kamen Rider Decade, Sohji used Kabuto's Rider Form (ライダーフォーム, Raidā Fōmu). In Rider Form, Kabuto has access to the Clock Up System, which allows the user to travel at near light speeds to match the Worm's speedy metabolism. To destroy Worms, Kabuto has the Kabuto Kunaigun, a versatile weapon that can be used as a gun, an axe, or a kunai, all of which allow him to perform the Rider Beat, or his roundhouse Rider Kick.


Hyper Form
KRKa-Kabutohyper

Hyper Form

"Hyper Cast Off! Change Hyper Beetle!"
―Transformation announcement[src]
  • Height: 198 cm[4]
  • Weight: 102 kg[4]
  • Punching Power: 10 t[4]
  • Kicking Power: 15 t[4]
    • Rider Kick Finisher Power: 30 t[4]
  • Maximum Jump Height: 50 m[4]
  • Maximum Running Speed: 100 m/4.2 s[4]

Sohji only used Hyper Form (ハイパーフォーム, Haipā Fōmu), an even stronger version of Rider Form, with help from Kamen Rider Decade's K-Touch in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010. He was armed with Perfect Zecter.

This form is exclusive to W & Decade: Movie War 2010.


KRDCD-Zecter Kabuto

Zecter Kabuto

"Final Form Ride: K-K-Kabuto!"
―Transformation announcement[src]

Kamen Rider Decade's Final FormRide allows Kabuto to change into Zecter Kabuto (ゼクターカブト, Zekutā Kabuto), a giant version of the Kabuto Zecter that flies and can be ridden by Decade. It is able to burrow underground.[5]

Behind the scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Sohji is portrayed by Daijiro Kawaoka (川岡 大次郎, Kawaoka Daijirō). As Kamen Rider Kabuto, his suit actor is Jun Watanabe (渡辺 淳, Watanabe Jun).

Notes[]

  • Although Sohji's name is similar to Soji Tendou, his name is written differently with Sohji written in katakana and Soji written in kanji.
  • Sohji's surname was never revealed by Toei. Toei only credits him as 'Sohji'.
  • It is unknown exactly when Sohji's Clock Up system was repaired, but it can be inferred that Tsukasa's sacrifice in ''Movie War 2010'' had played a part, since reality itself changed from the event.
