* AssholeVictim: Most Beastmen attack innocent civilians but Mole Beastman's victim was the least sympathetic. In addition to killing a bird in front of Amazon, he's on the run from the cops for four murders and even after Amazon saves him, he deliberately unbalances Amazon to make sure Mole gets him.

* PoorCommunicationKills: As noted in HeroWithBadPublicity, Amazon's inability to communicate get's him into trouble early on. In episode 5, he's accosted by police, who are grateful that he stopped a violent criminal, and need him to go back to the station to make a statement. Amazon doesn't understand and thinks they're trying to attack him, and in the process get's subdued and sent to jail.

!! This series provides examples of:

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Amazon's blades, on the forearms of his gloves. They're very sharp, and more to the point, he's strong enough to do the cutting. Before he learned how to do a proper Rider Kick, Amazon's finisher was the Daisetsudan ("Great Cleave") which was responsible for the HighPressureBlood below.
** SPIRITS takes this to new levels - he can easily cut arms in two (right down the middle), and that picture up at the top? That's Salamander/Tokage-Roid learning the hard way that Amazon can [[spoiler:cut heads in two as well.]] His Super Daisetsudan (available when Amazon combines the Gaga[[hottip:*:We're not going to make that comparison.]] Armlet with the Gigi Armlet on his right arm for extra power) can cleave something the size of a ''T-Rex''.
* BadassBiker: Subverted at first. Amazon was very reluctant to ride a motorcycle (his first exposure to them was a motorcross race, and they're rather loud besides), so it took a lot of convincing by Tachibana (and the [[CoolBike Jungler]]).
* BatmanGambit: He may be a {{Hulk Speak}}ing WildChild, but don't confuse that for stupidity. He once used a complicated plan based on his knowledge of all involved, depending on everyone acting precisely as they did, ''including'' getting the villains to think that ''they'' were the ones who knew ''his'' plans and were gambitting ''him.'' Yes, Amazon pulled off an IKnowYouKnowIKnow, ''level three or four!''
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Amazon may be the most violent Rider, but his rage is restrained to actual bad guys. He's a FriendToAllLivingThings besides, and when misunderstanding humans begin attacking him, he will always flee rather than harm them. There's really no reason to fear him if you're not a monster trying to harm innocents. If you ''are,'' though, there ''will'' be HighPressureBlood, eye-gouging, limbs severed via teeth, and so forth.
* TheBerserker: Amazon's preferred fighting style, at least in human form. His Rider form is ''somewhat'' more refined...
** Daisuke is pretty much a straight-up [[TheBerserker Berserker]], although Amazon seems to combine it with bits of ConfusionFu.
* BloodierAndGorier: Pretty much every episode, a monster was decapitated or otherwise dismembered. ''MortalKombat'', eat your heart out!
* ByThePowerOfGreyskull[=/=]PunctuatedForEmphasis: '''AAAAAAA-MAAAAAA-ZOOOONNNN!'''
* CoolBike: Jungler. One frame in SPIRITS implies that it has some degree of sentience, though this might just be a joke.
* CurbStompBattle: The final battle with [[spoiler: Emperor Zero]] mainly consists of Amazon walking up to him and taking him apart like a roast chicken.
** Kinda justified as Amazon had [[spoiler: both the Gigi Armlet and the Gaga Armlet at the time, which are supposed to grant their wielder great power.]] Still, it's not the grand final battle people wanted.
* DefectorFromDecadence: The Mole Beastman turns to Amazon's side after Amazon saved him from execution. Considering the BigBad's opinion was "die in battle or I'll kill you myself", getting shown mercy by his former enemy convinced him to perform a HeelFaceTurn.
* DiskOneFinalBoss: Ten-Faced Demon Gorgos was the BigBad of Geddon, Amazon's first enemy group. Amazon finally killed him in episode 14, only for Geddon to be replaced by the Garanda Empire lead by Great Emperor Zero.
* DistressedDamsel: Ritsuko, to the point that even her little brother Masahiko once basically says something to the effect of "Don't worry, she gets kidnapped all the time!"
* EccentricMentor: Tobei Tachibana, even gives Amazon his trademark bike the Jungler.
* HeelFaceTurn[=/=]MookFaceTurn - the Mole Beastman.
* FinishingMove: At first he didn't have one; it was just hack and slash until the MonsterOfTheWeek stopped moving. Eventually came his trademark Great Slice, a dramatic leap-and-slash move that results in HighPressureBlood and a dramatic fall (but still no 'boom,' the monster was just left in its own juices.) Last and least-used was the Amazon Kick, your standard Rider Kick ending in your standard {{Toku}} monster kaboom. The Super Great Slice is the Great Slice when he's got [[spoiler: both armlets, as seen once in Amazon and once in Decade]]. It's no different visually, but presumably its victims were tough enough to require it as opposed to lesser attacks.
* FishOutOfWater: Yep!
* FriendToAllChildren: Amazon himself being a WildChild, this is no surprise. And [[KamenRiderX GOD]] (yes, the organization; yes, the ''whole'' organization) help you if [[BerserkButton you bring harm to one he knows personally.]]
* HealingFactor: It wasn't used too overtly in the TV show (likely related to the level of 70's special effects they were budgeted for), but Amazon heals ''much'' faster than a normal human, such that he can get into fistfights with clawed Beastmen without transforming.
* HenshinHero: Although unlike the other Riders, his body is mystically augmented rather than mechanically - Amazon is actually ''biological'', compared to his technological Rider brethren. (This brings up an interesting point about the word "Kaizou-Ningen", usually translated as "Cyborg" in English. "Kaizou" means to modify, in the sense of remodeling and improvement, and does not necessarily indicate doing so with artificial enhancements. Thus Amazon is in fact a "Kaizou-Ningen" like the other Riders, just not in a way that translates smoothly.)
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Whenever bad things happen, the actual villains pull a VillainExitStageLeft, and a wild, scantily-clad {{Hulk Speak}}er is the only person remaining at the scene, it sometimes doesn't go well for our hero. His good name is usually restored by the end of the episode... ''for the time being.''
* HighPressureBlood: Most monsters end up cut open by Amazon and it normally results in a massive amount of blood spurting from their wounds.
* HulkSpeak: For the first dozen episodes or so before he gradually learns Japanese. This led to much communication problems during certain episodes.
* ImageSong: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILnnaucf48Q I Am Tobe Tachibana]]
* ImAHumanitarian - Snake Beastman in episode 7.
* {{Keet}}: Amazon appears to be this outside of battle, at least by the time of KamenRiderSpirits.
* {{Kiai}}: '''''"GII GII GII GII GII!!!"'''''
* KidWithTheLeash: Masahiko, to an extent.
* LargeHam: The Narrator for the first several episodes to explain Amazon's moods and mindset before he learned Japanese.
** Amazon himself also qualifies.
* ManBitesMan: One of the most preferred methods of Amazon. Parents actually complained about this, since it was easier for kids to imitate than the franchise's traditional [[FinishingMove Rider Kick]]
* MemeticHandGesture: [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jUm1aaWSreo/Sn_qxN6ShwI/AAAAAAAACxw/tpaN0-1GdoQ/s1600-h/igablog007.jpg Amazon's hand signal of friendship]]
* NatureHero: Being raised in the jungle certainly helps.
* PeoplePuppets - After eating a person alive, the Snake Beastman somehow uses their body to move about/manipulate humans as one of them.
* RaisedByNatives
* ThemeMusicPowerUp
* TheMole: The [[IncrediblyLamePun Mole]] Beastman, though he is [[InvertedTrope on Amazon's side]].
* TransformationTrauma: The first KR series to invoke this.
* TransformationTrinket: Amazon is unique amongst Riders[[hottip:*:[[KamenRiderV3 Riderman]] instantaneously donned PoweredArmor of a sort]] in that his belt has nothing to do with his transformation - it's actually a survival multi-tool he can use in human form.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight - Amazon running around modern Tokyo in a loincloth doesn't attract nearly as much attention as you'd think.
* WalkingShirtlessScene - Amazon.
* WildChild: Take a [[IncrediblyLamePun wild]] guess.
* YouHaveFailedMe: The villains ''love'' to do this. In fact, Amazon rescues one monster from this, [[MookFaceTurn and becomes]] TheMole for him.
