Marvel’s First Avenger, The first Kamen Rider. The origin points of two rich franchise tapestries share one thing in common. Punching Nazis but who would win if these two titans threw down ? Well, join Ethan as they attempt to settle the debate once and for all !
To insure a fair fight and so we all know what rules we are working under for this series we will be using the same rules that the series Death battle work with:
RULES
1. Combatants have no prior knowledge of each other unless specified.
2. To ensure a fair fight, any specific moral restraints from killing are removed from combatants. All other traits are considered.
3. A combatant's maximum personal potential is examined unless specified otherwise. Factors unrelated to combatants cannot end the battle.
4. Unless specified, all official material related to a character is applied unless found contradictory to the primary source material. - so things like Kamen Rider spirits,Manga and supplemental material will be considered unless it's contradicts things in the main TV series.
The blue Boy scout, Captain America Steve Rogers
The year is 1922, born to two poor irish immigrants in the great depression, Steve Rogers was weaker than most and this upbringing helped shape the world view and heart that the US army would put forward for their super soldier experiments. These experiments would go on to make Steve into Captain America, a being that's at the peak of human condition. allowing him to do things like bench press 2,200 pounds (1,100 lbs on each side of the bar) as a warm-up. Now for context the current world record at time of writing belongs to Jimmy Kolb who pressed 635.4 kg (or 1,401 lb) on July 29 at the 2023 IPA Tri-Star Bash in Elizabethton. And Cap cleared that as a warm up,
On top of being/having Peak human Strength, Speed, Reflexes,Stamina, Human Senses,Mental Processing and Agility Steve is also a Master Martial Artist and has said that he is adept at every form of hand-to-hand combat known to man. He has even made his own fighting style combining boxing ,Judo, Defendu, kickboxing, Jujutsu, Tōde, Aikido,Karate, and other forms of unarmed combat disciplines, Master Marksman, Master Swordsman, Master Stick Fighter, Master of a wide range of Weaponry, Master Pilot , Multilingual and Steve “man out of time” Rogers is even a Master Hacker. He's one of the greatest strategists in the marvel universe, his tactical might, leading the Invaders during WW2 and the Avengers in present day Cap’s keen tactical mind saw them saving the day time and time again.

| "i see faster" what does that even mean |
In addition to all of this he's a Master Fighter with his primary weapons, his trusty Shield is composed of a unique combination of Vibranium, steel alloy, and a third catalyst that has never been duplicated called Proto-Adamantium making it near indestructible and is able to absorb a great deal of kinetic energy. This frisbee is immune to Magneto's powers.
The only things strong enough to break Cap’s shield are cosmic forces, and things that break it down on a molecular level.
Between his battles with the invaders fighting hydra and their plots to his time leading the avengers when he woke in the present day, Steve has been a beacon of hope and an inspiration to Assemble, no Cap.
Takeshi Hongo, Kamen Rider Ichigo
Takeshi Hongo was just your average 600 Iq biochemistry major, training in his free time to become a professional motorcycle racer when Shocker a terrorist organisation who splintered off from the nazis kidnapped him and modified his body to be one of there animal/insect themed super warriors, but before they could brainwash him to their side one of their scientists broke him out. Having experienced Shocker's horrors first hand Takeshi swore to use his new cyborg body for good and to take down Shocker and be a warrior for humanity protecting it as best he could.
Over the course of his battles around the world, teaming up with Kamen Rider Nigo the pair defeated countless modified humans and did beat shocker but the pair continued to use there altered bodies for the betterment and defence of mankind as new nazi/nazi adjacent organisations formed and repeatedly and inadvertently make an insect themed modified human that would awaken to justice and team up with Ichigo, Nigo and all the others to beat them, even appearing to team up with more recent Kamen Riders such as his team up with Kamen Rider Ghost.
During his countless battles he's beaten many powerful enemy combatants such as when Takeshi fought Owlman and dodged his X-ray blasts (which is a light beam containing electromagnetic waves that could reduce normal people to skeletons), tanked a point blank nuke exploding along with Nigo, i'm just going to leave the clip from V3 to explain that and prove i'm not making that up
And that's not even his craziest feat, he and the other nine original Kamen Riders once survived getting hit with Badam empires Space Time rupture device which transcends time, space and dimensions, and warps it, while converting matter to energy and energy to matter, erasing the targets without any trace left even with 0.0001% capacity then resorted themselves to reality by combining there Rider power in a move called Rider syncro. These ten wouldnt have needed two movies to beat Thanos that's for sure.
(the part im refrencing in particular is from 39:30 but really you should watch it all be Kamen rider ZX is cool)
Having fought through countless cyborgs, getting jumped by countless Shocker made copies of himself (on more than one occasion in groups of six or twelve at a time), forging friendships with all the riders that came after him and aiding them in their battles. and even thanking his creator, Takeshi Hongo may not be a normal person but he's never riding alone.
Community response
as this is the first edition of this new series i dont really have anything to put or respond to but in future if you would like to maybe have your responces heard please keep an eye on my bluesky ! or comment below and on the next Tokusatsu throwdown ill respond to a few or your comments !
So who wins ?
So in order to reasonably work this out between my researching we are going to break it down into a few categories:Stats:
This is not even a little bit close, Ichigo takes his category with ease, remember that strength feat about cap bench pressing ? well 2,200 pounds in tons is roughly a little bit more than 1 US ton, Ichigo's base punching force is 60 tons or 120,000 pounds. That point blank nuke I mentioned ? Of course other people have already ran the numbers on that and found the blast they survived was about equal to about 539.1 Gigatons of TNT. But from this you can see the gulf between their stats. Cap is peak human and Ichigo is well, well above that. I don't think Ichigo breaks the shield by any means but he sure isn't getting scratched by it either.versatility
While both are extremely well experienced steves adeptness in every martial arts known to man give him the edge here to be sure.Conclusion
While Steve may be more skilled, he is no master in any of the martial arts he knows, and skill can only make up so much when your that out stated, there's no reason to believe Steve wouldn't try his iconic shield throw only for Ichigo to catch it, throw the shield out of the area the fights taking place in then processed to beat Cap Red,white and blue.The Fight goes to Kamen Rider Ichigo.
So do you agree with my conclusion ? Who do you want to see next ? keep an eye out on the toku sources socials for a chance to be featured in a future Tokusatsu Throwdown ! I've been Ethan, Writer, Reviewer and Battle ring master and I’ll see you next time !
