Kamen Rider Glaive

Kamen Rider Glaive (仮面ライダーグレイブ, Kamen Raidā Gureibu^?) is a fictional character from the Japanese film Kamen Rider Blade:Missing Ace, an adaptation of the television series Kamen Rider Blade. His real name is Junichi Shimura, but his real identity is the Albino Joker Undead; Hajime Aikawa's rival. When the previous battle fight ended with Kenzaki sealing Hajime, he rose out of the shadows. His first step in his plan was to release all of the undeads again. He did this after attacking Karasuma who had the rouse cards in his possession. Time passes, and he eventually joins BOARD, which is now operated by Sakuya Tachibana. He takes up the role of Kamen Rider Glaive, being the new Blade. He is armed with the Glaive Rouzer, a modified version of the Blay Rouzer. He then recruits two subordinates to help him. He recruits Shin Magaki and Miwa Natsumi after saving them from Isaka the Peacock Undead. When all the Undeads are sealed, he kills his own subordinates and disguises himself as them to fool the other riders, but Shiori figures out Shimura's plan and he's exposed. His plan is to revive Jyushin 14 using the Vanity Card, his main target is Amane Kurihara because it's revealed that her father was responsible for releasing the undeads the previous time and because he's a Joker Undead, he summons his Albino Roach Army to attack the riders. During the fight, Kenzaki tells Mutsuki to unseal Hajime, which he does. With Hajime released, he goes out and protects Amane and takes her to safety. Unfortunately, Shimura catches up with them and Hajime turns into Black Joker to fight Shimura; unfortunately, still exhausted after being unsealed, Shimura defeats him. He then uses the Evolution King cards to create the Vanity Card and seal Amane. He then goes on to revive Jyushin 14 by inserting it into an ancient tablet; however, ends up fusing with the rouze beast. He then appears to the riders in his new form and attempts to kill them. Hajime has a plan to free Amane and stop Shimura. He trades places with Amane and tells Kenzaki to destroy the tablet. Kenzaki hesitates knowing he'll kill Hajime, but Hajime convinces him and destroys it. This results in Shimura being weakened. Kenzaki then changes into King Form and uses his Royal Straight Flush attack to split Shimura in two, thus killing him and Jyushin 14.

[edit] Glaive Deck

Change Keroberos (Gold): Henshin Card; unlike the other Change cards, it is artificial.
Mighty Gravity: His attack card; initiates Gravity Slash, which is the equivalent of Blade's Category 2, Slash Lizard; but has the power of Blade's Lightning Slash.
Vanity: A card created from the 4 Evolution King cards and is used to revive Jyushin 14, but needs a sacrifice to revive him. Anyone sealed with this card is the sacrifice.

[edit] Trivia

In playing card decks, there are always 2 Jokers in the decks, this is why Hajime and Shimura are referred as Double Joker. Unfortunately, the Albino Joker is a movie character only.
The Gold Keroberos Change card is used in the TV series. It's the card Tennouji uses to henshin into Keroberos II.
Yuki Kuroda, the actor who played Junichi Shimura/Kamen Rider Glaive/Albino Joker Undead, also had a cameo role in episode 48 of the Kamen Rider Blade TV series as a police officer; the characters he played in the movie and TV series are completely different from each other.
In many magazines, there are shots of the Albino Joker wielding a red scythe; however, this weapon was never seen in the movie.^[1]
