Undead
Undead are the kaijin of the show. There are 52 Undead each competing in the Battle Fight, with the victor's species gaining dominance over the world. The winner of the previous Battle Fight ten thousand years ago was the Human Undead, resulting in the dominance of humanity.

Most of the "numbered" Undead are only capable of speaking their own language; however, those belonging to the so-called Royal Club can take on human disguise and speak human languages like Japanese. Their motivations are diverse and complex, from one fond of humanity (Tarantula Undead/Noboru Shima) to one with very sinister designs (Spider Undead).


 * Lethal Joke Character: Somehow, the extremely lowly Human Undead was the one that won the previous Battle Fight.
 * What makes this even more amazing is
 * Mythology Gag: Not only is there the Spider Undead, serving as a minor antagonist throughout the series, but the first Undead we see Garren and Blade fight is the Bat Undead. Both are references to the first Kamen Rider monsters.
 * Non-Lethal KO: Undead are sealed instead of being killed (though Kamen Rider Decade averted it).
 * The Obi-Wan: Noboru Shima.
 * The Smurfette Principle: Three out of four Undead are female, all of the Category Queen. Except for the Capricorn/Queen of Spades Undead, who is male.
 * The Starscream:
