Description
In the A.R. World of Ryuki within Kamen Rider Decade, Kamen Rider Scissors appears as one of the participants in a deadly battle trial known as the Kamen Rider Trial. This version of Scissors is an alternate reality incarnation distinct from the original character Masashi Sudo who appeared in Kamen Rider Ryuki. Neither his real name nor his identity as a civilian is ever revealed within the Decade series, making him an enigmatic figure whose life before becoming a Rider remains entirely unknown. Visually, he is characterized by his crab motif, with an orange and silver armored suit that incorporates pincer-like elements and a distinct scissor-shaped visor on his left forearm called the Scissors Visor.
In terms of personality, Scissors is portrayed as a cunning and ruthless combatant who prioritizes victory above all else, even if it requires underhanded tactics. He demonstrates a willingness to feign weakness or surrender in order to catch opponents off guard, revealing a strategic and deceptive nature. His approach to the trial is purely pragmatic, showing no signs of honor or camaraderie towards his fellow Riders. Instead, he treats the competition as a simple elimination process where only results matter. This calculating demeanor makes him a memorable antagonist despite his brief appearance, as he embodies the concept of a Rider who fights not for justice or survival but for the sake of winning the trial itself.
The motivations of this version of Scissors are not deeply explored due to the limited screen time, but it can be inferred that his primary goal is to emerge as the last surviving Rider in the trial. He actively seeks to eliminate other participants to secure his position, demonstrating a clear ambition to be the victor. There is no discussion of any personal vendetta, tragic backstory, or noble cause driving his actions. His focus remains narrowly fixed on the immediate objective of defeating his rivals within the Mirror World, where these battles take place. If he has any deeper reasons for entering the trial or any wishes he would use his victory to fulfill, the narrative leaves these matters entirely unaddressed, presenting him as a straightforward opportunistic combatant.
Within the storyline of the Decade episode Battle Trial Ryuki World, Scissors plays the role of an early antagonist who successfully eliminates at least one other Rider before being defeated himself. He is first observed engaging in combat with Kamen Rider Verde within the Mirror World. During this encounter, Scissors finds himself at a disadvantage against Verde's Clear Vent ability. Demonstrating his cunning, he feigns surrender to make Verde lower his guard. Exploiting this false submission, Scissors then deploys his Advent Card to summon his Contract Monster, Volcancer. The creature attacks Verde and successfully removes him from the trial, showcasing Scissors willingness to use deception as a weapon. However, his own participation in the trial comes to an end when he is subsequently eliminated by Kamen Rider Knight using his Final Vent attack.
Key relationships for this character are limited to his antagonistic interactions with the other Riders participating in the trial. His most significant connection is with his Contract Monster, Volcancer, a large crab-like Mirror Monster that serves as his primary asset in battle. The relationship between Scissors and Volcancer appears to be purely transactional, based on the contract system of the Ryuki world rather than any bond of loyalty or mutual respect. He commands Volcancer to attack his enemies and uses the monster's abilities to gain advantages in combat. Beyond this functional partnership, Scissors has no meaningful relationships with other characters. He views Riders like Verde and Knight solely as obstacles to be removed, and there is no development of any alliances, rivalries, or personal connections that extend beyond the immediate context of the battle trial.
The character undergoes no significant development during his appearance, which is confined to a single episode. He enters the story as a deceptive and ambitious combatant, eliminates Verde through trickery, and is then eliminated by Knight without any revelation that might change the audience understanding of his character. There is no redemption arc, no tragic downfall, and no moment of introspection. His role is functional rather than transformative, serving to demonstrate the high stakes and unforgiving nature of the trial by showing that even a successful combatant can be quickly overthrown. The lack of a revealed identity or backstory further reinforces his status as a transient obstacle rather than a figure of narrative depth. This treatment reflects his position as one of the weaker Riders in terms of the numerical values of his Advent Cards, with his equipment generally considered less powerful than that of other participants, forcing him to rely on clever tactics rather than raw strength to succeed.
Notable abilities of Kamen Rider Scissors are derived from his contract with Volcancer and his Advent Card deck. He transforms using a V-Buckle and his Advent Deck, which also allows him to survive within the Mirror World for limited periods. His primary armament is the Scissors Visor, a shear-like device mounted on his left forearm that serves as both a weapon and a tool to activate his Advent Cards. Through the Strike Vent card, he can summon the Scissors Pincer, a claw-like weapon attached to his right arm that is modeled after Volcancer's pincer. For defense, his Guard Vent card produces the Shell Defense, a shield based on Volcancer's chest armor that provides significant protection against enemy attacks. His Contract Monster Volcancer can be summoned using the Advent card, a large crab-like creature capable of attacking opponents independently. Scissors Final Vent is an attack called Scissors Attack, in which he uses Volcancer's claws as a springboard to launch himself into a spinning aerial assault against his target. Despite having the numerically weakest cards among the Ryuki Riders featured in Decade, Scissors proves capable of eliminating at least one opponent through his deceptive tactics, demonstrating that his true strength lies more in his cunning than in raw power or card statistics.
