Battle Fight! Round 4: Tiger vs. Imperer

They were the last two Riders to appear in Kamen Rider Ryuki (unless you're going by the movie timeline, although that actually came out first... argh!) and coming in after Ouja (STRONGEST RIDER EVAR!!1!) and Odin (NO IM EVEN STRONGEREREST!!1!) I think they were two of the most interesting. Well okay, Tiger was. Imperer was alright, but he really didn't have much time to develop, did he? But he made a grand entrance, and an even grander exit (in a not-so-grand underplayed sort of way.)

One was an psychotic young man who hung around with some guys called the "Alternatives" and who, in a past life, had been an Ultraman! ...but only on a direct-to-video series notable for being the second attempt to bring the concept to life after the failed first effort in 1995. And the other was a doe-eyed parking attendant by day who dreamed of a better life, and some would say got it when he went on to appear in Water Boys. Oh, and if for some reason you haven't seen the show and don't know what I'm talking about, Spoiler Warning!



THE CONTENDERS:



Imperer Kamen Rider "Thousand-men one-man Army" Imperer


Tiger

Kamen Rider "Stabby McStabberson" Tiger



THE FI-URK!



I make stabby.

THE WINNER:

...well, not fair play, that's for sure.
