* Hydra
* Darkdra

**Sam Lemon** is a journalist trainee working for ORE Journal drafted into the ongoing Rider War as into **Kamen Rider Hydra** (仮面ライダーヒドラ, **Kamen Raidā Hidora**). He fights to stop the Riders from killing each other and protect people from the Mirror Monsters.

As the final days of the war approaches, Sam comes face to face with his dark counterpart from the Mirror World, who briefly possesses him as **Kamen Rider Darkdra**.

### Final Judgment

Sam continued trying to stop the battle despite Shiro's rule to fight. He appears to be deceived by Lilac Shiraishi while maintaining a relation to her. Later, Sam also finds out that Yui had already met him during their childhood and he feels that it was because of him that Yui is dying. Sam also soon finds his mirror counterpart Kamen Rider Ryuga, where the latter tricks him into letting him absorb him under the assumption that it would save Yui. But Sam breaks free and defeats Darkdra before he and Ryuki assume Survive form to defeat the horde of Hydragoons.

By using his Final Vent, Hydra can execute his finisher, the Hydra Rider Kick (ヒドラライダーキック, *Hidora Raidā Kikku*), in which he jumps into the air with Hydrareder flying behind him. Hydrareder then breathes fire at Hydra, propelling him into a flying kick that strikes the enemy.

Kamen Rider Hydra Survive (仮面ライダーヒドラサバイブ, *Kamen Raidā Hidora Sabaibu*) is Hydra's final form, assumed by using the Survive Rekka, Shippu and Mugen Advent Cards. The Survive Rekka, Shippu and card transforms the Hydravisor into the the Hydravisorzwei, which Ryuki uses to transform into Survive Form and read Advent Cards. Transforming into Survive Form also causes Hydrareder to transform into Hydraranzer. Survive Form enhances all of Hydra's stats, allowing him to surpass all other Riders, with the exception of those who are also using a Survive Advent Card, such as Knight Survive and Odin.

Using the Sword Vent Advent Card converts the Hydravisorzwei to a blade mode named the Hydra Blade (ヒドラブレード, *Hidora Burēdo*).The Hydravisorzwei can also function as a ranged weapon by shooting fireballs. By using the Shoot Vent, Hydra can perform the Meteorbullet (メテオバレット, *Meteo Buretto*) attack alongside Hydraranzer, in which he and Hydraranzer each launch a fireball at the opponent.

By using his Final Vent, Hydra Survive can perform his finisher, the Hydra Fire Storm (ヒドランファイヤーストーム, *Hidora Faiyā Sutōmu*), which transforms Hydraranzer into a bike for Hydra to ride. Hydra drives toward the enemy and performs a wheelie, followed by Hydraranzer shooting several fireballs at the opponent from its three mouths. Finally, Hydra slams into the opponent, destroying it.

Kamen Rider Darkdra is a dark, Mirror World version of Hydra. He is contracted to Darkdrareder, a dark version of Hydra's Hydrareder. His Visor, the **Darkdravisor**, is equipped on his left arm. Dark Sam can transform into Darkdra either on his own or while possessing Sam's body. Like Hydra, Darkdra's parameters are balanced. However, they are heightened to the point where Darkdra is the strongest out of all of the 22 Riders, with the exception of those using a Survive Advent Card.

Through the use of his Sword Vent Advent Card, Darkdra can arm himself with the **Darkdrasaber**, a sword derived from Darkdrareder's tail. His Strike Vent arms him with the **Darkdraclaw**, a gauntlet capable of shooting fireballs that is derived from Darkdrareder's head. With the Darkdraclaw, Darkdra can perform the **Darkdraclaw Fire** attack with Darkdrareder, in which he and Dragblacker each launch a fireball at the opponent. His Guard Vent equips him with the **Darkdrashield**, two shields derived from segments of Darkdrareder's body that can be held by hand or mounted on Darkdra's shoulders.

By using his Final Vent, Darkdra can execute his finisher, the Hydra Rider Kick (ヒドラライダーキック, *Hidora Raidā Kikku*), in which he jumps into the air with Darkdrareder flying behind him. Darkdrareder then breathes dark blue fire at Darkdra, propelling him into a flying kick that strikes the enemy.
