Amazing Mighty Form: Lightning Bruiser, with an overall stat boost from Rising Mighty Form.All four of the basic forms later get a Mid-Season Upgrade as Rising forms that boost their stats note Rising Mighty just gets an overall stat boost, Rising Dragon has increased speed and the Rising Dragon Rod now has blades on both ends, Rising Pegasus has better Super-Senses and the Rising Pegasus Bowgun can shoot repeatedly, and Rising Titan has increased strength and bigger swords that he can use two at once but they're more of a Limit Break that only lasts for 30 seconds, and the power can cause serious collateral damage to civilians.Despite its high defense, the armor still leaves some areas exposed so the enemy can exploit Attack Its Weak Point. Titan Form: Mighty Glacier, with high strength to wield the Titan Sword and strong protection from Armor of Invincibility, but the sword and armor are so heavy that it's the slowest form.It's armed with a Pegasus Bowgun which shoots out a powerful air blast but has to be reloaded after every shot. Pegasus Form: Has Super-Senses capable of perceiving ultraviolet light and ultrasonic sound, but even with focus training Kuuga can only use this form for 2 minutes before suffering from Sensory Overload.Dragon Form: Fast and can jump very high but has the least protective armor, and is so weak that he needs the form's Dragon Staff to injure an enemy.Usually regarded as useless but proven to be capable of fighting, just not being good at it. note The first time because he lacks the resolve of a warrior and later when he's still weakened from a near-death state, we also see him revert to this form briefly after his Sensory Overload from Pegasus Form. Growing Form: The weakest form, only used when he doesn't get access to other forms.

Kamen Rider Kuuga acts as the Franchise Codifier, setting the pattern for future series:.It forces him to switch back to humanoid form, clearly injured. note During a fight against Shadow Moon, Shadow Moon heats up the ground around Black RX in gel form instead of attacking him directly. But his Bio Blade is weak, the armor is thin, and it's hinted that he's weak against heat while in gel state. Bio Rider: A combination of Fragile Speedster and Stone Wall, with nimble movement and ability to transform into gel which makes him almost invincible.

Robo Rider: The Mighty Glacier with high defense and armed with a powerful Vortech Shooter, but his robotic movement is sluggish.note Technically a Lightning Bruiser as the evolved form of Kamen Rider BLACK, but in the context of BLACK RX it sits between the Bio and Robo Rider forms. BLACK RX: The default form and a Jack of All Stats.While the trope is associated with the modern eras of the franchise, it actually first appeared in the original Showa era's Kamen Rider BLACK RX.It was first started with Black RX, codified by Kuuga, and the rest is history.

Multiform Balance is a tradition for modern Kamen Rider series.
