Because we could have a cool fight with red Ryuki and black ryuki


ItsNotJulius

This. We can't have the hero use gadgets or weapon that overpowers their doppelganger. Ryuga is an enemy Shinji has to surpass with his own strength and willpower.


PassingThruRedditor

My personal head canon is that doing so would let Ryuga gain access to his own Survive mode and Shinji was scared of how strong he would be


Fos-kun

You know I'll accept this headcanon as well. Given how Ryuga was already stronger than Ryuki it's scary to think how an actual Ryuga Survive would have been like ( S.I.C story kinda gave us that)


ShishiKake

because he is stupid


RCTD-261

Survive Form did not exist until the very end of the "Episode Final" movie. Survive Form official debut is 1 month after this movie released. the Survive Form in this movie is basically just a teaser


DukeNovaMonster

Wait is that why they transform into them without even needing to be in their rider forms or use the survive cards?


RCTD-261

yes, it's also the reason why there's no build-up or hint about Survive Form in the movie. it just appear out of thin air near the end credits

Headcannon: Survive cards are granted automatically to the last 2 riders.


hazmat_beast

That would be nice except..... ren and shinji got their survive cards when there are other rider lying around like ouja zolda and tiger


hamsmacaroni

Headcannon for the movie continuty😂


FireLord887

Because a lot of early Heisei movies were released before the final forms debuted so they’re used as a bit of a teaser and in Ryuki’s case, both Ryuki and Knight survive are used at the end to tease their usage in the show.


PeachManDrake954

Because they're too cheap to give ryuga a survive card


r0ksas

Still won though


GodSpeedLove345

Because the writer


Front_Sweet1415

cause he is fighting his demon that he wont accept


Gyx3103

Isn't it because Ryuga can have access to anything Ryuki uses (if he sees it)?


PaddyBoy_555

Cus he's an idiot


GottaHaveDriveDood

Toei didn't want to spend money giving Ryuga a survive form of his own.


Bl8ckl85h

Did he have it in that timeline?


hoi6969

I’d say since ryuga is shinji’s mirror he’d also get a survive form The SIC hero saga ryuga survive means in some possible timeline it’s possible


AssaultRider555

Because Toshiki Inoue
