List of Kamen Rider Decade characters in the Nine Worlds

The characters of Kamen Rider Decade exist amongst various iterations of reality within the series referred to as an A.R. World (Another Rider's/Alternate Reality). The Nine Worlds (9つの世界, Kokonotsu no Sekai) are the A.R. Worlds that are based on the previous entries of the Kamen Rider Series that have aired during the Heisei period of Japanese history. Each differs in some way from the series on which it was based.

World of Kuuga

The World of Kuuga (クウガの世界, Kūga no Sekai) is the version of reality where Kamen Rider Kuuga takes place. It was the world where Yusuke Onodera originated from before he joined Tsukasa in his journey. The backdrop used to arrive in this world shows a city with police cars and Mount Hitoki (灯溶山, Hitoki-yama) in the background. Within this A.R. World, Tsukasa assumes the guise of a police officer with the talent of understanding and speaking the Gurongi language.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

Ai Yashiro

Ai Yashiro (八代 藍, Yashiro Ai), referred to as "Big Sis" (あねさん, Ane-san) by Yusuke, is a detective and the leading operative of the police force formed to fight the Gurongi. She mistakes Decade for "Unidentified Life Form #10" (未確認生命体十号, Mikakunin Seimeitai Jūgō) after Decade destroys Baberu.^[3][4] While investigating the lair of the Gurongi to take out the resting Gamio, she and her group are overwhelmed by the miasma caused by the Gurongi leader's revival. However, Yusuke is unable to save her in time because the poison she breathed in later killed her. Prior to her death, she makes Yusuke promise that he will fight in order to protect everyone's smiles.^[5][6]

N·Gamio·Zeda

He refers to himself as otherworldly because he should have never been revived, a fact that even he seems to believe, wondering why he was awakened. He is sealed and the Gurongi are attempting to unseal him with a Gegibasu Gegeru (ゲギバスゲゲル, Sacred Game), targeting five police women without spilling blood to revive him. Though they obtain four kills, Tsukasa uses Ai as bait to lure the Gurongi out and gives her a nose bleed to ruin the Gegeru.^[3][4] The effects of the distortion revive Gamio anyway, and he uses his power to convert every human corpse within his Miasmic aura into a Gurongi. Although his ultimate goal is to have his sired Gurongi destroy each other, Gamio is destroyed by Kuuga and Decade performing a combo attack.^[5][6]

Todoroki (トドロキ) is Zanki's head apprentice who has the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Todoroki (仮面ライダー轟鬼, Kamen Raidā Todoroki). Though a member of Zanki's school, he has feelings for Akira,^[44][45] and sides with her and Asumu when discussing how important allying the three schools is to the future of Ongekidō. Zanki is not pleased by such an idea, but with the help of Tsukasa and Akira, he manages to convince his master, and he is allowed to move from an apprentice role to teaching.^[46][47] Todoroki later appears in the World of the Rider War after his reality is absorbed into it, killed off while attacked by Fangires under Saga.^[14][15] But once Decade is killed, Todoroki and Akira are restored along with their world.

This version of Todoroki is portrayed by Shingo Kawaguchi (川口 真五, Kawaguchi Shingo), who previously portrayed a similarly named character from Kamen Rider Hibiki.

Hibiki

Hibiki (ヒビキ) is the master of the taiko-based Ongekidō Hibiki Style. Because he lost his righteous heart through his desire to become stronger, Hibiki is consumed by his Oni power and starts his metamorphosis into the legendary half-Oni half-Makamou, Gyuki (牛鬼, Gyūki, Ox Demon). As a result, Hibiki adopts a lazy and rude attitude to most people, wears modern clothing, and even attempts to drive Asumu away in an attempt to retire from being an Oni. It is only when Kuuga is about to get killed by a Tengu Makamou that Hibiki decides to assume his Oni form and transforms into Gyuki as a result, wounding Ibuki and Zanki before being driven away by their pupils.^[44][45] Knowing that he will no longer be able to assume his human or Oni form again should he transform into Gyuki, he gives up his Transformation Tuning Fork Onkaku to Daiki Kaito to give to Asumu, who becomes the new Hibiki and must slay his former master as his final request.^[46][47]

Hibiki is portrayed by David Ito (デビット伊東, Debitto Itō), while his Gyuki form is voiced by Keikō Sakai (酒井 敬幸, Sakai Keikō).

Makamou

Main article: Makamou

The Makamou (魔化魍, Makamō) are an assortment of monstrous creatures that usually dwell in the rural areas of Japan and consume any human beings as food. There are two main variations of this group: the bestial Giant Type and the humanoid Summer Type.^{[44][45][46][47]} In the first episode, Makamou such as the Bakegani and Ooari attack Natsumi while others like the Ubume were involved in the all-out battle among the monster groups that destroys the world.^[1][2]

• Kappa (カッパ): A Summer Type snapping turtle/frog-like Makamou, it was first one that Tsukasa and company encounter before Asumu arrives to fight it. In the end, the Kappa is destroyed by Decade using Kabuto's Rider Kick.
• Bakeneko (バケネコ): A trio of Summer Type humanoid cat Makamou. While the first two are destroyed by Zanki and Ibuki, the last one evades them before being destroyed by Decade's Dimension Kick.
• Ooari (オオアリ, Ōari): A Giant Type ant Makamou.
• Tengu (テング): A Summer Type ape/parrot Makamou that attacked Hibiki and Asumu, overpowering Kuuga until Hibiki assumes his Oni form and destroys the Makamou.
• Ubume (ウブメ): A Giant Type oarfish Makamou with white bird wings.
• Bakegani (バケガニ): A Giant Type swimming crab Makamou, larger than the average type with more pincers. It is released by Takeshi Asakura/Kamen Rider Ouja and appears with Narutaki riding on it once Gyuki is destroyed. The Bakegani is destroyed through the combined efforts of Hibiki, Decade, Diend, Amaki, Todoroki, Ibuki, and Zanki.
