This version of Wataru Kurenai (紅 渡, Kurenai Wataru)[2] is a character who appears in the first and last episodes of Kamen Rider Decade. He is an observer who appears before Tsukasa Kadoya as a representative of the Kamen Riders and can transform into Kamen Rider Kiva (仮面ライダーキバ, Kamen Raidā Kiba).
History[]
Kamen Rider Decade[]
Rider War[]
Kiva in the camera of Tsukasa
Wataru appears before Tsukasa Kadoya explaining to him that a mysterious force is forcibly merging the parallel worlds of the Kamen Riders and causing their destruction. The Riders give Tsukasa the task of traveling the worlds and saving them as Kamen Rider Decade, while they prevent the destruction of Natsumi Hikari's world by freezing it in time.
The Destroyer of Worlds[]
At the end of Decade's journey, however, Wataru reappears and told Tsukasa that his true mission was to defeat the Nine Heisei Kamen Riders, not befriend them. Wataru transforms into Kiva once more in order to fight Decade and end the crisis.

Later when Natsumi kills Kamen Rider Decade, Daiki arrives as he and Natsumi are teleported to Wataru Kurenai, who reveals that Decade's roles as the destroyer and the connector have been fulfilled, restoring all of the A.R. Worlds, stating that their "stories" have been restored because by Decade fighting and destroying them, he created memories that allowed their stories to continue. Natsumi asks about Tsukasa, Wataru says that Decade has no story and no longer has an existence as he served his purpose.
Personality[]
In Kamen Rider Decade, Wataru is portrayed as a highly ruthless figure, a stark contrast to his original characterization. Showing no care what happened to the A.R. Riders or Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade, Wataru voiced his intent on bringing forth their deaths, stating it to be necessary for restoring the Rider worlds. Even after seeing Natsumi Hikari and Daiki Kaito distraught at losing Tsukasa, Wataru showed no sympathy whatsoever, opting to simply explain the situation to them in a cold and distant manner.
Forms[]
Kiva Form
- "Gabu!"
- ―Kivat's transformation announcement[src]
- Rider Height: 200 cm
- Rider Weight: 98 kg
- Ability Parameters[3]

- Kicking Power: 8 t.
- Darkness Moon Break: 30 t.
- Maximum Jump Height: 85 m.

Kiva Form (キバフォーム, Kiba Fōmu) is Kiva's default form, accessed through a bite from Kivat, whose status determines Kiva's ability in a battle. He is also able to see in the dark with his visor called the Omnilens (オムニレンズ, Omunirenzu). In this form, Kiva can use any of the Fuestles, with the Wake Up Fuestle to open up the Catena Chains on his left leg known as the Hell's Gate (ヘルズゲート, Heruzu Gēto) made of Lucifer Metal (ルシファーメタル, Rushifā Metaru) so Kiva can use his Darkness Moon Break (ダークネスムーンブレイク, Dākunesu Mūn Bureiku) attack. The kick has an impact of 30,000 kg., enough to leave a crater in the shape of a bat's wings (Kiva's insignia) on any surface upon contact; the glass body of a Fangire shatters almost instantly.
Kiva can also perform a stronger variation of the Darkness Moon Break when engulfed in Castle Doran's fire. When the Darkness Moon Break is performed, day turns into night and a crescent moon appears in the sky.
