Hi, I've realised that there's been a disagreement as to who is the secondary Rider in Kamen Rider Blade, and the page has subsequently been locked. I've contacted Iml908 and Digi about this since they were the last two editors to the page, and because I believe that Chalice/Hajime is more appropriate for the role of Secondary Kamen Rider. Digi hasn't responded to me yet but Iml908 has told me that I should present to you my arguments. I've copied and pasted the evidence I've provided to Iml908, so don't be surprised if it seems I'm referring to him rather than you.
Obviously, there's a clash of interests in regards to who is Blade's Secondary Rider, so I'm going to give you my arguments as to why Chalice is the correct option since a discussion will be more useful than an edit war.
Firstly, Garren appearing as the second Rider does not secure him a place as the Secondary Rider because by that logic, TheBee should be considered the Secondary Rider of Kabuto while Gatack is clearly more important than TheBee.
Following on that point, the Secondary Riders are not determined by being the first Rider aside from the protagonist Rider to appear on the show, but by their rank of importance. Chalice is significantly more important than Garren. This is evidenced by how the only two Riders to appear in their Rider forms (as opposed to being only in human form) in the final episode are Blade and Chalice, and that Chalice does serve the role of the Final Boss.
On a more concrete note, the final cast credits for the series, as well as the cast credits on the main website list Hajime/Chalice's name second, while listing Tachibana/Garren's name third. Considering that the cast credits are listed by rank of importance rather than appearance, this is significant evidence that the makers of the show themselves consider Chalice the Secondary Rider of the series.
Also, your arugment that Garren has clashed with Blade more than Chalice is inaccurate. In terms of direct physical confrontations in their Rider forms, both have clashed with Blade an equal amount of times in the following episodes:
Chalice:
Episode 2
Episode 4
Episode 8
Episode 16
Episode 48
Episode 49
Garren:
Episode 5
Episode 10
Episode 12
Episode 32
Episode 33
Episode 38
This list does not include the episodes in which Hajime has clashed with Blade as Joker in which case, Hajime has more conflict with Kenzaki than Tachibana.
Hello, Mr. Joker. Yesterday, you asked me, where I get the information of Wizard's episodes. Every Sunday, I go to Wizard Toei TV official websites. I ususally use Google Translate to know the episodes title. However, well it doesn't very precise. So that's all what I can say.
Japanese is highly diverse and complex, sometimes translators have trouble just trying to figure out people's names, especially the kind in languages native to the land. Google and Bing translate are best used for languages like Spanish, Italian, any Latin based language into English. Not to mention the translators sometimes didn't do a very good job, for example when I found the name Hayate, the traslation from Japanese, usually the translator makes it "Hayate the Combat Bulter". You're better off learning Japanese yourself than using a translator like Google or Bing.
Say Joker-Man, do you know of any other worm based kaijin other than just that one you categorized? It seems kind of silly having a category with just 1 kaijin.
I'm with these guys Amir, no sense changing the name. TV Asahi's site once called the Engine Blade 'Engine Brade' and for a while called Ankh 'Unkh' the White Wizard's only called Mahoutsukai Shiroi on TV and the site cuz no one knows his actual name. He's called Mahoutsukai Shiroi in Japan, but this is case to use the translated name White Wizard until there's a revealed name or title when things unravel.
