Kamen Rider Odin Advent Cards
Kamen Rider Odin first appearance and Advent Deck Odin is the puppet of Kanzaki, a mindless entity that is entirely without free will. He is the self-proclaimed 13th Rider and is designed to fight the one who defeats the other 11. Kanzaki intended Odin to be his safeguard, ensuring he would claim the wish once the other Riders were dealt with. Odin is clearly the most powerful Rider, possessing powerful attacks without the need for Advent Cards. Indeed, he is capable of defeating Survive Form Riders with relative ease (although he does sometimes get caught out!). His most interesting card is Time Vent. It allows the user to reset time back to a point of their chosing, which can be exceeding useful. What is interesting about this card is that it is a Contract dependent card (these cards have a Rider symbol in the top left corner) yet can be used successfully by any Rider (as seen in the Kamen Rider Decade clip I’ve included). Odin also owns a Survive Card (my Survive Form vids will be coming soon!) with a very different design to those of Knight and Ryuki. It seems like those cards form the wings of a phoenix, with Odin’s forming the body. Magazine scans released around the time of airing showed that Odin’s Visor could open up to reveal three card slots, with the two outer ones holding the wing-based Survive cards and the Odin Survive card held in the centre. I wonder what Toei had in mind for this third card… 0:00 “Henshin” 0:29 Sword Vent 0:49 Guard Vent 1:07 Steal …
