==History==
===Kamen Rider Kiva King of the Castle in the Demon World===
The ancient warlord Arc was a powerful leader of the Legendorga who led his race to glory, attacking any race that stood in his way. However, the original Kiva stood against Arc and sealed him within a coffin.
Years later, the place where he was sealed became the ground for a prison, that included the mentally broken, Takashi Sugimura. When Sugimura tried to escape tried by taking hostage Towa Sakakibara. However Otoya Kurenai and Wataru interfere his plans being cornered by the police, when the Zebra Fangire appeared, Sugimura encounters ancient ruins under the prison he came across Arc's coffin. The Lord then resided himself within Sugimura, quietly waiting for the next twenty years. During this time, the Lord protected his vessel from execution attempts by the law.
In the present day, Sugimura escaped from prison, with Keisuke Nago tracking after him to a local high school. This led to a series of events, ultimately leading with Sugimura being taken into Arc's castle. There, the Lord gained control over Sugimura's body, commencing the Legendorga's invasion of humanity.
Arc in Sugimura's body is seen in his castle among his Legendorga servants listening to humans' screams. When Arc touches a trumpet, he says that he will defeat the new Kiva and chooses to then play the trumpet. Arc and his race then commenced the takeover of humans and any race that stood in its way, while also targeting the current Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru Kurenai. Eventually, Wataru and his father, Otoya Kurenai confronted Arc.
Arc attempted to make Wataru his servant through the Legendorga Baptism, becoming Kiva Flight Style. However, Otoya managed to communicate with his son and Wataru fought against Arc in a fierce battle leaving the castle destroyed when Kiva launched his Darkness Moon Break, which with one blow blocked him in an attempt to interfere with the transformation of Kiva Emperor. Arc, however, did not understand how his power was rivaled by Kiva. Faced with no other option, Arc decided to risk an all-or-nothing attack by drawing from the power of his race, by attracting the moon and resurfacing later as Legend Arc. Surprising Otoya by launching an attack that seriously damaged him, with it causes Wataru to fight more aggressively. Kiva in Flight Style took to the skies in an aerial dogfight, reaching the city with Castle Doran and Wataru finally destroying Arc.
