Icon-bladeThis article is about a race of monsters in Kamen Rider Blade.

The Undead (アンデッド, Andeddo) are a race of monsters in Kamen Rider Blade. Immortal creations that are originators of all creatures that inhabit Earth, they are named "undead" because of their immortality.

Overview[]

Excluding the artificially generated individuals in modern times, there are a total of 54 Undead that were created by the Monolith. In the Battle Fight 10,000 years ago, they were sealed within Rouse Cards, but more than two years before the start of Kamen Rider Blade, they were revived in modern times.

As they must be preserved for the next battle, the Undead have an infinite lifespan, being entirely immune to death via conventional means.

If an Undead takes excessive damage is taken, their Undead Buckle (アンデッドバックル, Andeddo Bakkuru) on their waist will open, displaying their Suit and Category. They can then be sealed with a Blank Rouse Card. Blade Riders usually throw the Rouse Card to seal the Undead, with said card automatically returning to the thrower's hand afterwards.

History[]

The Undead were created by the Master as a response to the "will" of life[1], being participants in a free-for-all battle royale known as the Battle Fight, with the winner granted a wish to alter the world as they please.

Excluding the Albino Joker, each Undead participated in the battle, with any that are defeated being immediately sealed away. The ultimate winner was the Human Undead, allowing humanity to reign supreme among all lifeforms ever since. In the present, human archaeologists discover the sealed Undead and a maddened Hirose set them free by mistake. However, the new Battle Fight was a front for a sinister plot by BOARD's chairman Hiroshi Tennoji. Among the Undeads, there are several specialized groups: the Category Aces, the Royal Club, and the two Jokers.

A.R. Worlds[]

World of Blade[]

The Undead also exist in the A.R. World of Blade. Similar to the originals, they are a race of monsters that are accidentally released from their seals and go on a rampage. [Welcome to the Blade Restaurant] [Blade Blade] Several Undead also appear in the first episode when Natsumi is trapped within the changing dimensions. They include the Lizard, Pecker, Squid, and Caucasus Undead.

World of Diend[]

In the World of Diend, humanity is ruled by the Jashin-14 which, rather than being controlled by Undead, appears as a sentient villain in this world while having Darkroachi and brainwashed humans under his control. Another Undead exclusive to this world is Bossroach.

Later history[]

Dai-Shocker[]

As one of the races of the Nine Worlds, the Undead are part of the Dai-Shocker alliance, a coalition of all villain organizations fought by the Kamen Riders, who have ambitions to conquer the multiverse.

The Elephant and Giraffa Undead, as well as Darkroachi, were part of the Dai-Shocker army that was fought and wiped out by a gathering of 25 Kamen Riders in the World of Decade after Dai-Shocker started their invasion of the worlds. [Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]

The Undead Titan was a member of the Dai-Shocker remnant, Super Shocker, that appeared in the World of the Rider War. It was later defeated by Faiz's surprise attack. [Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010]

Shocker Greeed[]

The Undead, represented by Kerberos, were among the various evil organizations and monster races which were allied with Shocker in an alternate timeline where they conquered the world thanks to the Shocker Greeed. The Eagle, Serpent, Tiger, and Giraffa Undead were among Shocker's army of monsters. When all the Kamen Riders came back in 2011, Blade returned and defeated most of the Undead (with the Tiger Undead seemingly defeated by Amazon) allied with Shocker.

Shocker-Zangyack Alliance[]

Undeads Shell and Tortoise under the Joker were part of the revived Dai-Shocker assembled by Decade to wipe out the Super Sentai, ensuring the survival of the Kamen Riders. After Dai-Shocker's alliance with Dai-Zangyack was revealed, both organizations were wiped out by a gathering of Kamen Riders and Super Sentai. [Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen]

Space Shocker[]

An unsealed Tortoise Undead was a member of Space Shocker, an evil amalgamation organization similar to Dai-Shocker, which aimed to conquer the universe. It was actually a front for the revival of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. [Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z]

World within the Magic Stone[]

The souls of defeated Undead, among the other monster races fought by the Kamen Riders, surfaced in the world within the Magic Stone which was ruled by the evil wizard Amadum with the Paradoxa Undead and the Tortoise Undead being part of said army of monsters. Amadum's army of monsters were fought and destroyed by the 15 Heisei Riders when they were summoned to this world. [The Kamen Rider Rings] [Neverending Story]

Super Hero Taisen GP[]

In an alternate timeline created by Shocker's History Modifying Machine enacting an assassination of the Double Riders by Kamen Rider 3 in 1973, research on the Undead was conducted by the Shocker executive Leangle, who along with the other BOARD Riders Blade, Garren and Chalice, served as Shocker Riders to the evil organization which ruled the world in this timeline. [Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3]

Kamen Sentai GoRider[]

Kazuma reappears in the Game World and, as a result of being the only Undead in said world, is declared the winner and the world begins to fall apart as a result.

Kamen Rider Zi-O[]

The emergence of Another Blade has caused Kazuma Kenzaki and Hajime Aikawa to come out of hiding and resume in their Undead war as the two only survivors. Another Blade absorbs their Undead biology, reverting the two back into normal human beings.

List of Undeads[]

Category Ace[]

The Category Ace are the best natural fighters out of the Undead, with Chalice as the strongest followed by the Spider Undead. Their cards are an important part in the Rider system, each Rider donning armor modeled after the creatures that the Aces represent. All Aces appear in the series except the Stag Beetle Undead.

Unseen[]

Categories 2-10[]

These Undead are of Categories 2 to 10, and thus are either the most easier and most annoying of the Undead to fight against, with most of these unable to speak like humans. Only 22 of the 36 Undead made physical appearances in the series. While considered to be weaker in comparison to most other Undeads, it should be noted that the winner of the previous battle was the Human Undead.

Unseen[]

Royal Club Undead[]

The Royal Club Undead (上級アンデッド Jōkyū Andeddo) are those of Category Jack, Category Queen and Category King, special classes of advanced Undead who have a greater power and higher intelligence than their "lower" counterparts. Each can assume a human disguise, allowing them to better mask their presence in present society.

Similar to the Gurongi, shortly after their liberation, these Undeads quickly mastered the human language and culture, most proving a great threat in general.. The difference in appearance from the other Undead is that their Undead Buckle is golden and the Ouroboros Emblem (ウロボロスのエンブレム Uroborosu no Enburemu) is boned.

Aside from giving extra AP, these Undeads can provide extra forms for Kamen Rider Blade and his cohorts, provided that they are the same Suit as the respective Ace Undead being used. This is done via the Rouse Absorber, excluding Kamen Rider Chalice. Whereas the Jacks and Kings serve as "upgrade cards" for the Riders to assume Jack and King Form, the Queens function as stablizers to evoke the transformation.

All Royal Club Undead appeared in the show except the King of Hearts, the Paradoxa Undead, though he appears in the Kamen Rider Decade series, his identity being that of a man named Kamata who transforms into Kamen Rider Abyss.

Joker Undead[]

Unique among their brethren, the two Joker Undeads have a special role in the Battle Fight, with no descendants being born from their existence. Evidently, through several means, a human can turn into a Joker Undead, sharing the same powers as the Black Joker.

Synthetic Undead[]

Synthetic Undead (合成アンデッド, Gōsei Andeddo) is a monster created by artificially synthesizing multiple Undeads with the help of the Monolith.

It looks like the Undead's individual appearance before joining, half by half, and there are also two Undead Buckles, and they have their individual abilities comprehensively.

Other[]

Roaches[]

The Darkroachi are endlessly summoned from the Monolith if the Battle Fight is nearing its end and the Joker Undead is still unsealed. Their role is to eliminate all life on Earth once the Joker wins the Battle Fight. Although the Joker cannot stop the Darkroachi from killing, they show some allegiance to him.

The White Joker Undead is able to summon white variants of the Darkroachi called Albiroachi on his own regardless of the state of the Battle Fight, each somehow having a level of sentience and being capable of speech with Undeads.

Trial Series[]

The Trial Series are artificial monsters created by BOARD by combining human and Undead DNA with cybernetics. They cannot be sealed with Proper Blanks; in fact, Blanks are absorbed, allowing them to recover quickly. However, as the Trials are not immortal, they can be destroyed. The Trials were developed to interfere with the Undead Battle Fight. In early production sketches, they were referred as "Undeadloids."

Video Game appearances[]

Kamen Rider Blade video game[]

Behind the scenes[]

The Undead were designed by Yasushi Nirasawa, who later went on to create the 29 Horrors in GARO, the Worms in Kamen Rider Kabuto, and the Imagins in Kamen Rider Den-O. The Undead designs were later published in a book titled UNDEAD GREEN BLOOD. Several of the Undead have been made into collectable figurines, including the Caucasus and Tarantula Undeads, the Giraffa Undead and most recently the Peacock Undead.

Notes[]

  • Category 7 Undeads is the only group of lower-class Undead that all Undeads in each suit made physical appearances in the series.
  • Several Undead costumes, namely the Tortoise Undead, Caucasus Undead, Paradoxa Undead, and a modified Trial F, were used in a cameo in the OOO portion of Movie War Mega Max, where they were used to depict the obscured future monsters which attacked humanity in the future where Michal Minato comes from. However, it is unclear whether it is just a case of suit reuse or if they were meant to be the Undead unsealed again in the future.
  • Like the Makamou and the Another Riders, the Undeads are somehow susceptible to conventional means of damage in sequel appearances, being outright destroyed by the Kamen Riders on several occasions.
  • While never outright confirmed, it is heavily implied that the reason the antagonistic Undead killed humans was to spite the Human Undead over his victory, as otherwise it was counterintuitive to their sole goal of winning the Battle Fight.
  • Strangely, many Undeads clearly share the same descendants as one another (e.g., the Lion Undead, Jaguar Undead, and Tiger Undead), yet this is never touched upon in series.
    • It is likely that this is simply a a matter of character designs, with genealogy being ignored in favor of it.
