Kamen Rider Axe


Kamen Rider Axe is one of the 13 Kamen Riders that the story revolves around. His Earth counterpart is Danny Cho, a money-hungry thief who always puts his family first. He lived a harsh life with only his brother Albert to help support him and vice-versa. Following a recent motorcycle heist, he was approached by Xaviax who offered him and his brother a big paycheck in exchange for participating in "the biggest heist on Earth." Danny becomes Kamen Rider Axe, a Kamen Rider with a tiger Advent Deck.

Hunt is the original Ventaran Kamen Rider Axe. He was rescued by Master Eubulon from the Advent Void. He's a lone wolf type person who tends to fight on his own rather than with the other Riders. This serves as a strong contrast to his Earth counterpart, Danny Cho, who would often be with his brother Albert during jobs. He continues to fight as a Kamen Rider from remnants of Xaviax's army and helps to rebuild Ventara.


Fighting Style
Similar to Kamen Rider Incisor and Kamen Rider Thrust, Axe relies on brute force to win his battles, using his Dest Visor battle axe as his weapon. As an alternate weapon, his Strike Vent equips him with his Dest Claws; arm-claws which he can use to hack and slash away at an enemy. He also relies on his contract monster Destwilder to assist him in battle. Additionally he has the Freeze Vent card, which allows him to immobilise an opponents monster in battle.


Visor and Advent Deck

Axe slots his cards in his axe through the tiger like top called the Dest Visor. The axe can be used as a weapon if he's not using his Strike Vent.
  • Advent (AP: 5000): Summons Destwilder, a Mirror Monster that resembles an armored humanoid white tiger.
  • Strike Vent (AP: 3000): Equips Axe with 2 Dest Claw gauntlets, modeled after Destwilder's claws.
  • Freeze Vent (AP: 1000): Axe uses this card to freeze the opponent for a certain period of time. In the series, the Freeze Vent froze Kamen Rider Torque's Contract Monster to an advantage, preventing Torque from executing his Final Vent.
  • Final Vent (AP: 6000): Executes Crystal Break. Destwilder drags the target across the floor and lets Axe finish his prey with a Dest Claw-based stab in the torso.
