Negative Otoya Kurenai is an alternative version of Otoya Kurenai in Nega's World and a major antagonist from Kamen Rider Decade. His Rider form is Kamen Rider Dark Kiva. In the original version, he is the father of Wataru Kurenai. However, unlike the original version, who is a kind human, Negative Otoya is implied to be a wicked Fangire, being also an equavalance to the 1986 King.
He is portrayed by Kouhei Takeda, who also portrayed the original Otoya Kurenai in Kamen Rider Kiva and Kazumi Sawatari in Kamen Rider Build.
Biography[]
Being the King in Kiva's A.R. World, Negative Otoya is an evil tyrant who plunged his own world into oppression under the power of his Dark Riders (Orga, Ryuga, Dark Kabuto and Alternative). He also shows racism towards ordinary humans and believes Riders are more superior than humanity.
He wanted Tsukasa Kadoya to stay in the Nega World in order to make him his own successor. To achieve this, Otoya tried to corrupt Tsukasa into abandoning his journey and accepting the nature of his hateful world by giving him the K-Touch, but instead Tsukasa kills the other Dark Riders and defied Otoya's corruption.
Otoya went into hiding while Tsukasa was fighting the other Dark Riders. At the end of the story arc, Otoya remains as the last Dark Rider in Nega World. His further fate is unknown.
Powers and Abilities[]
Immortality - Otoya possesses immortality: an endless lifespan, as they can never die, never age, never get sick, are completely self-sustaining, free from all bodily necessities, and can shrug off virtually any kind of physical damage. Users are often called "Immortals". Some users are the defensive type, simply preventing all damages, to appear physically invulnerable, while others are the regenerative type, surviving and quickly recovering from anything you throw at them while at the same time they are capable of resurrecting themselves instantly after death or even the combination of the two.
Regenerative Healing Factor - Otoya possess a regenerative healing factor, meaning that they can rapidly heal and get restored to their optimal and full health/state at an extremely fast rate. Unlike Healing, regeneration/healing factor is a process that happens unconsciously without the need for activation, resulting in a constant state of optimal health. Regeneration is a process that occurs in all biological entities, but a regenerative healing factor is much more efficient, seamless, and powerful. So much so that users can recreate lost or damaged tissues, organs, and limbs, sometimes slowing, or even stopping aging, something natural regeneration can never accomplish (or does so extremely slowly). The rate and amount of healing vary widely (see Levels of Regeneration); some can regrow missing limbs, others must put the limb back in place for rapid regeneration. The user is generally in very good physical shape, as their bodies are constantly reverting to a healthy state, granting them nigh-inexhaustible stamina and vitality.
Trivia[]
- Coincidentally, the number of times he and his original counterpart transformed are the same: three.
- While the original Otoya was Wataru's father, Otoya does not exist in the World of Kiva because that world's Wataru had a human mother and Fangire father as opposed to a human father and Fangire mother.
