Kamen Rider Leangle

nihongo|Kamen Rider Leangle|仮面ライダーレンゲル|Kamen Raidā Rengeru is the fourth and final Rider to appear in the "Kamen Rider Blade" TV series, the strongest rider in Ace Form and the third youngest Kamen Rider in the whole franchise at age 17. He is played by nihongo|Takahiro Hōjō|北条 隆博|Hōjō Takahiro.

Fictional character biography

Kamen Rider Leangle is nihongo|Mutsuki Kamijō|上城 睦月|Kamijō Mutsuki, a troubled teenage highschool boy who was selected to become Leangle by the evil will of the Spider Undead ("Category Ace of Clubs"). Although initially afraid of the dark when fighting the Mole Undead, Mutsuki overcame his fear when he saw the smiles on the peoples' faces he rescued.

Mutsuki's high-class Undead seem to be the kindest of all the high-class Royals. His Category King is a pacifist, his Category Queen has strong sense of honor and loyalty, and his Category Jack is really laid back, and sometimes lazy, only fighting to defend himself. All of them tend not to fight, unless it was necessary. And with the help of his Category King and Queen, only then he is able to suppress the power of the Spider Undead and properly seal him. Mutsuki's girlfriend Nozomi provided a significant amount of help as well; though she couldn't assist with fully suppressing the Spider Undead's power, her love for Mutsuki enabled him to at least partially resist the mind control over the course of the series.

Unlike Blade and Garren, he gets no Jack form, but unseals him to aid him in battle against the Keroberos Undead.

Transformations

The Leangle system was developed through tricks and manipulation by Isaka, the Peacock Undead, who needed the sealed Spider Undead to complete it. However, as later revealed, the Undead was not sealed properly and thus manipulated his users for his own agenda. For Mutsuki to change into Leangle, he has to insert the sealed "Category Ace of Clubs" (Change Spider) card into his Leangle Buckle and position his buckle in front of his waist. The belt would then expand automatically around his waist. Mutsuki makes a motion with his right hand across his face and says nihongo|"Henshin!"|変身 and opens a portion of his buckle. The buckle would announce "Open Up!" at this point. This would also cause a violet projection with a spider image to come out before him. Unlike Blade and Garren's method of transformation (running into their projections), Mutsuki's projection comes to him. This will complete the transformation into Leangle.

Rider System-03 harnesses the DNA of the Spider Undead sealed within the ♣A: "Change Spider" Rouse Card and fuses that Mutsuki via the Leangle Buckle Rider System, transforming him into "Kamen Rider Leangle". This Rider form has no distinguishing capabilities or attributes apart from any other Rider except its lancer-oriented design.

Evolution Tarantula Form

This form manifestation was the result of the collaborating consciousness of Hikaru Jō/Tiger Undead and the pacifist Noboru Shima/Tarantula Undead usurping control from the Spider Undead. 'Dark Mutsuki', attempting to initiate King Form with Garren's Rouse Absorber, inadvertently brought the combined presence of the Tiger & Tarantula Undead, Jō and Shima, to forefront and, with their combined wills, exorcised the Spider Undead from Mutsuki. In the ensuing battle without the Spider Undead, Mutsuki morphed between his human form and Shima's Undead form. With this form, along with Kenzaki's King Rouzer, enabled Shima-Mutsuki to defeat the Spider Undead and give it a 'Proper Seal'.
