Biography

Original

Long ago, the Grongi Tribe terrorized the Linto until a warrior named Kuuga appeared and defeated the Grongi, sealing their leader within a cave. In the present day, a multi-talented man named Yuusuke Godai finds himself linked to the mysterious stoned belt that was found within the excavated cave as the Grongi are resurrected and resume their murderous game on the descendants of the Linto, humanity itself. It is up to Yuusuke, along with the assembled Science Police, to use the various powers of Kuuga in order to halt the Grongi Tribe's serial killing spree and ensure the happiness of others. However, as the endgame draws near and Yuusuke's allies unearth more data on Kuuga's capabilities, Yuusuke learns that there is a horrible revelation behind Kuuga and the Grongis' leader.

A.R. World

Thought this version of Kuuga is different, Yusuke Onodera has a similar story as the original universe's Kuuga, Yusuke Godai however, Odonera has a very self-confident and gullible childlike personality, a stark contrast to Godai. Yusuke supports the police in fighting the Gurongi and has feelings for Detective Ai Yashiro, as he fights to see her smile. When Yusuke first discovered the Arcle Belt, he is the first to be warned of Decade's existence as the "devil" by Narutaki. Yusuke rarely engages in battle while journeying with Tsukasa, after his sister's death. He does, however, act as an inspirational figure to the other Riders, as can be seen with his aiding of Wataru, as well as his actions in the other Riders' worlds. However during the Rider War, though his world is destroyed, Yusuke still exists due to his travelling of the Nine Worlds. After he was turned into the KamenRide Card by Decade in The Last Story, he and his world are restored. Fortunately, he allowed Decade to be revived and defeated the newly formed Super Shocker once and for all.

Strenghts/Pros and Weaknesses/Cons

Strenghts/Pros

• All
  • Has a ■ charge attacks to awaken a powerful forms once it hits the enemies in correct timing
  • Mighty and Ultimate Forms' ▲+● ((Rising/Amazing) Mighty and (Rising) Ultimate Kick) has most of the advantages besides against juggled enemies during combos, also when pressing again after dash release to dodge from enemies' swipe attacks like from the Rat Fangires' swipe kick
  • Dragon Forms' Effectiveness:
    • ▲ (a dash ending with a rising staff attack) is good for Air Combo followups
  • Pegasus Forms are good for long range, as well as having a great advantage to use ■ charge attacks to awaken a powerful forms after many hits quickly when the enemies aren't guarding, and has a dodging to back on 3rd and 4th strings
    • When it comes to this awakening form charge attack term on ■ related attacks, the A.R. Kuuga is very easy to pick
  • Titan Forms:
    • Has an auto-guard while walking
    • ▲ (Parry Counter Stab) is good to parry the surrounding
    • ●: (Two horizontal slashes followed by thrusting the sword into the ground to create a shockwave) is albeit faster than ■-Strings
    • ▲+● ((Double Rising) Calamity Titan) has an Armored
  • Regular Ultimate Forms:
    • ▲ advantages since BW2:
      • a rising uppercut then an overhead punch its after an X-mark flame punch is good for aerial followups. With this move is now followup, rather than auto hit as of BWG, meaning Regular Ultimate Form becomes much safer for Rider Cancelling in a certain frame before the jumping followups
    • ● (a three times flame explosions) is good for mid-range (since BW2)
    • Originally in BW2, Regular Ultimate Forms automatically continues an X-mark flame punch to rising uppercut to an overhead punch, and must use Rider Cancel to skip the uppercut part. Until in Genesis becomes two button press since the appearance of Rising Ultimate Forms (currently Red Eyed version and it's for A.R. counterpart only)
• Original
  • ■ charge attacks will automatically transformed into Rising upgrade forms
    • As for Mighty Form can now charge attack transformation upgrade from Rising Mighty to Amazing Mighty Form (since BW2)
  • Super Move transformation to Red Eyed Ultimate Form is far more powerful
• A.R. World
  • Considered that he has no Rising Upgrade Main Forms and Amazing Mighty Form in his series (Decade), Black Eyed Ultimate Form take its place, but as a normal form only for limited time once its awakened (as seen on the black mist in front of the equipment screen of his belt), yet still have a Final Form State's capacity, such as cannot be juggled and knocked by enemies, even has remained as a limited form
  • Black Eyed Ultimate Form's attacks are far more powerful than Red Eyed Ultimate Form
  • Rising Ultimate Forms (count Black Eyed version if included in post-BWG):
    • The second followups of ▲ (a flaming wave dash) is albeit faster and safer than regular Ultimate Forms' ▲ (a rising uppercut then an overhead punch)
    • ● (Spiral Flame Pillar) is good for long range

Weaknesses/Cons

• All
  • Performing ■ charge attacks on all strings during juggles will let enemies fully recovered on certain strings, particularly on slow form attacker like Mighty, Titan and Ultimate Forms
  • Mighty Forms and regular Ultimate Forms' ▲ (rising uppercut then an overhead punch (after an X-mark flame punch for regular Ultimate Forms since BW2)) are vulnerable and can be juggled
    • This same goes as ▲+● ((Rising/Amazing) Mighty and (Rising) Ultimate Kicks) on jumping after dash
  • Dragon Forms' ● (a jump ending with a staff slam to the ground) and ▲+● ((Rising) Splash Dragon) are vulnerable on the likes of jumping movements
  • Pegasus Forms' ■-Strings, safe for the last part is weak to knock the enemies
  • Titan Forms' ■-Strings is albeit slower than ● (Two horizontal slashes followed by thrusting the sword into the ground to create a shockwave)
  • Despite being different characters, both counterparts cannot Tag each other for some reasons on two Decade final episodes, such as on the appearance of both counterparts of Blades, and the same standard main form suits
• Original
  • Does not include Red Eyed Rising Ultimate Form as his Ultimate Final Form due to his guest appearance utilizing this form first time outside his series airing
• A.R. World
  • Less Attack point than the original counterpart
  • Black Eyed Ultimate Form cannot guard
  • Does not include Black Eyed Rising Ultimate Form as his Strongest Final Form, which has a flamethrower beam super move from the All Riders vs. Dai Shocker Movie, instead only have the Red Eyed Rising Ultimate Form, which has a same move on his super (Rising Ultimate Kick (Dash)) meaning the Red Eyed version of this form is not as an Ultimate Final Form in the first place. Needs to be included in the possible sequel.
