Alternative (Kamen Rider)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Alternatives (オルタナティブ Orutanatibu?) are fictional characters in the tokusatsu production of the TV series Kamen Rider Ryuki. They mimicries of the 13 Kamen Riders. Two Alternative suits were known to have been produced - a prototype called Alternative and a production model called Alternative Zero (オルタナティブ・ゼロ Orutanatibu Zero?). Alternative and Alternative Zero's true identities were, respectively Hajime Nakamura and Hideyuki Kagawa. Nakamura was played by Jun'ichi Mizuno and Kagawa was played by Satoshi Jinbo. Along with Kamen Rider Tiger, the two were fighting to close the Mirror World and opposed Kanzaki's plan of a Rider war.
The two suits were identical except for a few minor differences. Alternative Zero was decorated with silver stripes labeled "Trial Prototype-00" on both sides of the body. Alternative Zero also had silver cables on its suit while Alternative had black cables. Because they are modeled after crickets, the Alternatives resemble the older Kamen Riders such as Kamen Rider V3 and Kamen Rider Super-1 in terms of appearance. Alternative Zero and Alternative were both killed the same way, Tiger betrayed them and destroyed their decks, causing them to dissolve in the Mirror World.

[edit] Advent Cards
Unlike the other Advent Cards, Alternative and Alternative Zero's cards are given the additional title, "Alchemy System" at the back. Also, there are green characters on the cards, which may give information to the Visor on what kind of card is swiped. Because their equipment was designed by themselves, the V-belts' and Vent Decks' appearances were different than the other Riders.
Slash Visor
The card reader of Alternative Zero/Alternative was mounted on his right forearm. The visor voice was different than that of the real Riders, the voice was female. Another difference was how the cards were used with the visor. The cards were swiped (similar to the rousers in Kamen Rider Blade), which burned up and disappeared when the card was vented.
