List of Kamen Rider Gaim characters

Kamen Rider Gaim (仮面ライダー鎧武（ガイム）, Kamen Raidā Gaimu) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in the Kamen Rider Series, written by Gen Urobuchi. Kouta Kazuraba must use his newfound powers as the titular hero to battle the mysterious Inves monsters as well as other rival Kamen Riders, all known as "Armored Riders" (アーマードライダー, Āmādo Raidā), in what is described by the show as a "Rider Warring States Period" (ライダー戦国時代, Raidā Sengoku Jidai). Characters are aligned with each other as members of dance crews and various organizations.

Team Gaim

Team Gaim (チーム鎧武, Chīmu Gaimu) is one of many dance teams in Zawame, identified by their Happi-themed modern outfits and logo.

Kouta Kazuraba

Kouta Kazuraba (葛葉 紘汰, Kazuraba Kōta) is an earnest and cheerful young adult who is naïve, wanting to help others but ends up sometimes causing trouble than good due to his short-sightedness. He is originally the second-in-command of Team Gaim before eventually quitting the team to take odd jobs to help out his older sister Akira since their parents have died. But things change when Kouta is called by Team Gaim's leader Yuya Sumii, who wants to show him something to help their team out. This leads Kouta to search for Yuya in what he later learns to be Helheim Forest, finding a Sengoku Driver (戦極（センゴク）ドライバー, Sengoku Doraibā) that his friend bought from the mysterious Lockseed Dealer Sid and an Inves that he managed to destroy. Figuring out a means to best use his new-found power, it takes seeing the rampage by Kaito's summoned Inves to convince Kouta to protect people as Kamen Rider Gaim (仮面ライダー鎧武, Kamen Raidā Gaimu).^{[lower-alpha 1]} This event spreads across the city, earning Kouta the name of "Armored Rider Gaim" as he decides to help Team Gaim as an official member in Yuya's stead as more Armored Riders appearing in Zawame. Eventually, with help from Mitsuzane, Kouta learns that Sid is working with the Yggdrasill Corporation in an experiment involving the Armored Riders with DJ Sagara giving him a Lemon Energy Lockseed and a Genesis Core. While dealing with the public's prejudice against the Beat Riders, Kouta learns the truth of Helheim Forest, Yggdrasill's goals, and the truth that the first Inves he killed was actually Yuya. While he is still trying to figure out what to do with this new information, Kouta is approached by Sagara and learns of the Inves known as the Over Lords while advised to shatter the rules that the Yggdrasill Corporation is following in order to change the world for the better. Given the Kachidoki Lockseed to achieve that goal, Kouta tells Mai everything he knows to Mitsuzane's displeasure while managing to win Takatora over with a way they can save the world without sacrificing human lives. At this point, Kouta finally gets a job at Drupers, but only after his sister is downsized and he must find some form of work. During the Lover Lord Dēmushu's invasion into Zawame, he is critically injured by the Yggdrasill Corporation force's sudden attacks on him, resulting in Dēmushu landing a fatal blow on Gaim, until Baron rushes to his aid and retreat to Team Gaim's place safely. Gravely wounded, Kouta has another encounter with Sagara who offers him the Kiwami Lockseed to help him obtain the Forbidden Fruit to save his world. Though warned that he would have to kill everyone else who is after the Forbidden Fruit and would eventually become an Over Lord himself, Kouta accepts the Kiwami Lockseed. As he uses the Lockseed, Kouta unknowingly becomes more like the Over Lords, even gaining the ability to use the plants to his advantage after battling Redue and Roshuo. However, Mitsuzane plans to fight him with his new Ryugen Yomi transformation, and during the fight, Kouta intentionally lets his guard down, taking a seemingly fatal blow from Ryugen Yomi, all in an attempt to get his friend back to normal. Kouta's wounded body is later found by Chucky and Peko and brought back to the garage for treatment. In his injured state, Mai visits Kouta spiritually and warns him about Kaito wanting to use the Forbidden Fruit to change the future. While trying to learn if Redyue and Roshuo's words about him becoming an Over Lord after obtaining the Kiwami Lockseed are true, Kouta starts to test it out by eating the Helheim's fruit. When it has no effect on him at all, he realizes that they were right in their warnings. After defeating Kaito, Kouta receives the Golden Fruit and evolves into the blonde-haired Man of the Beginning (始まりの男, Hajimari no Otoko). Not wanting to destroy the current world nor rule it as it is, he uses his power to open a Crack to send all of the Inves and Helheim Forest onto another barren world at the far end of the universe, where he and Mai will create new life instead. Seven months later when Kogane returns as Armored Rider Jam, possessing the form of a teenage girl and beating Mitsuzane close to death, Kouta returns to Earth to help Mitsuzane destroy the Locust Monster, and splits Kogane from its host, so both Gaim and Ryugen can finish it off for good. After the last fight with Kogane, Kouta leaves Earth once more, saying goodbye to both Mitsuzane and the spirit of Kaito who is lingering behind at the relocated sacred tree.

As Kamen Rider Gaim, armed with the a combination katana and firearm called the Musou Saber (無双セイバー, Musō Seibā), Kouta can wear fruit-like armor in Arms Changes (アームズチェンジ, Āmuzu Chenji) by using different Lockseeds (ロックシード, Rokkushīdo) in the Sengoku Driver, a device that enables the user to absorb the nutrients of a Lockseed without becoming an Inves, while gaining access to an Arms Weapon (アームズウェポン, Āmuzu Wepon). His main form as Gaim is Orange Arms (オレンジアームズ, Orenji Āmuzu), which gives him access to the Daidaimaru (大橙丸) sword.^{[lower-alpha 2]} His finishing moves are flying side kick called the Burai Kick (無頼キック, Burai Kikku), the Daidai Ittō (大橙一刀) with the Daidaimaru,^{[lower-alpha 3]} and the Naginata Musou Slicer (ナギナタ無双スライサー, Naginata Musō Suraisā) when he combines the Musou Saber and Daidaimaru into a naginata.

Gaim later acquires more Lockseeds to attain more Arms Change forms. The first is Pine Arms (パインアームズ, Pain Āmuzu) with the Pine Lockseed; this form is armed with the Pine Iron (パインアイアン, Pain Aian) meteor hammer which he uses in a Burai Kick variant called Iron Breaker (アイアンブレイカー, Aian Bureikā) as well as being able to combine with the Musou Saber into a kusarigama. Next is the light-armored Ichigo Arms (イチゴアームズ, Ichigo Āmuzu) through the Ichigo Lockseed, is armed with multiple Ichigo Kunai (イチゴクナイ) throwing knives for his Kunai Burst (クナイバースト, Kunai Bāsuto) barrage attack. After gaining the Suika Lockseed from Mitsuzane, Gaim transforms into the Suika Arms (スイカアームズ, Suika Āmuzu). Suika Arms possesses several different modes: Ōdama Mode (大玉モード, Ōdama Mōdo)^{[lower-alpha 4]} completely envelops Gaim in an armored watermelon that can roll around, Yoroi Mode (ヨロイモード, Yoroi Mōdo)^{[lower-alpha 5]} allows Gaim to battle as if he were in a power-suit and wields the Suika Sōjintō (スイカ双刃刀) twin swords that combine into a double-bladed weapon, and the flight capable Gyro Mode (ジャイロモード, Jairo Mōdo) which has guns in the form's hands. Gaim also once uses Kamen Rider Baron's Banana Lockseed to transform into Banana Arms with use of the Banaspear lance.

By inserting the Genesis Core (ゲネシスコア, Geneshisu Koa) in place of his Rider Indicator, Gaim can mix the powers of his Orange Lockseed with any of the Energy Lockseeds, producing a new Jimber (ジンバー, Jinbā)^{[lower-alpha 6]} armor with various enhanced abilities, in addition to use of the Sonic Arrow which allows Gaim to use the power of both Lockseeds in a stronger attack. He initially uses the Lemon Energy Lockseed he obtains from DJ Sagara to transform into Jimber Lemon Arms (ジンバーレモンアームズ, Jinbā Remon Āmuzu), which grants him enhanced overall powers. Later, after taking Sid's Cherry Energy Lockseed, Gaim gains access to the super-speed of Jimber Cherry Arms (ジンバーチェリーアームズ, Jinbā Cherī Āmuzu). After helping to cover a Crack in Helheim Forest, Kouta manages to steal Yoko Minato's Peach Energy Lockseed and escapes with it, in which later enables him to use the super sensitive hearing of Jimber Peach Arms (ジンバーピーチアームズ, Jinbā Pīchi Āmuzu), which has the side effect of making him susceptible to the sonic powers of some of the Over Lord Inves.

Using the Kachidoki Lockseed, Kouta gains the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms (カチドキアームズ, Kachidoki Āmuzu),.^{[lower-alpha 7]} Kachidoki Arms sports a much more powerful armor than any other forms, able to shrug off volleys of gunfire from Kurokage Troopers completely, and even withstand a point-blank charged shot from Zangetsu Shin's Sonic Arrow. In this form, Gaim uses the two Kachidokibata (カチドキ旗) banners on his back as weapons alongside the Hinawadaidai-DJ-ju (火縄大橙DJ銃, Hinawa Daidai Dī Jei Jū).^{[lower-alpha 8]} In its Ju Mode (銃モード, Jū Mōdo), after reloading using the turntable-like DJ Table, Gaim can use the DJ Pitch switch to control the type of projectile fired. The middle setting fires single shots, while the highest produces machine gun fire and the lowest one single powerful blast. The Hinawadaidai-DJ-ju can combine with the Musou Saber and with the Kachidoki Lockseed set in, it transforms into Taiken Mode (大剣モード, Taiken Mōdo), now able to perform the finishing attack Hinawadaidaimusouzan (火縄大橙無双斬, Hinawadaidaimusōzan).^{[lower-alpha 9]} By inserting the Kiwami Lockseed into the keyslot on the side of the Kachidoki Lockseed, Kamen Rider Gaim can transform from Kachidoki Arms into the Daishogun-like Kiwami Arms (極アームズ, Kiwami Āmuzu) with power equal to an Over Lord's.^{[lower-alpha 10]} As Gaim Kiwami Arms, Gaim can call on any of the Lockseeds for other powers, and is able to call on the other Armored Riders' weapons for his own use, calling them in quick succession to disorient and overpower his foes. Once he becomes the Man of the Beginning, Kouta gains the ability to transform directly into Kiwami Arms without the need of any Driver or Lockseed.

While Gaim normally uses the Sakura Hurricane (サクラハリケーン, Sakura Harikēn) motorcycle as his personal Lockvehicle (ロックビークル, Rokkubīkuru), accessed through the Sakura Lockseed, he can also use a Dandeliner (ダンデライナー, Danderainā) hover bike, accessed from the Tanpopo Lockseed. Later, DJ Sagara gives him a Tuliphopper Lockseed to access the Tuliphopper.

This transforms Kamen Rider Gaim into Fresh Orange Arms (フレッシュオレンジアームズ, Furesshu Orenji Āmuzu), a sparkling version of Gaim's Orange Arms, which is equipped with dual Daidaimaru, has a stronger version of the Burai Kick, and by combining the dual Daidaimaru with two Musou Sabers, he can execute a stronger Naginata Musou Slicer attack.

During the events of the film Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!, Kouta is brainwashed by the evil Kogane to become his liege. While under Kogane's control, Kouta uses the Black Orange Lockseed in combination with the Black Lemon Energy Lockseed to transform into Kamen Rider Gaim Yami Black Jimber Arms (仮面ライダー鎧武・闇 ブラックジンバーアームズ, Kamen Raidā Gaimu Yami Burakku Jinbā Āmuzu), who is ruthless in his attacks with the Musou Saber.

Mitsuzane Kureshima

Mitsuzane Kureshima (呉島 光実, Kureshima Mitsuzane) is initially a member of Team Gaim, nicknamed Mitch (ミッチ, Mitchi) by the others, a smart yet manipulative youth who concealed his familial relation to his older brother Takatora. Concealing his heritage from his friends and his Beat Rider activities from his brother, Mitsuzane attends an elite high school yet wanted to follow his own path rather than follow in his brother's footprints in inheriting their father's company. After Kouta's near death encounter with the white Armored Rider forces him to quit, Mitsuzane goes to Drupers and convinces Sid to give him a Sengoku Driver. From there, Mitsuzane becomes Team Gaim's other Armored Rider, the Chinese warrior-themed Kamen Rider Ryugen (仮面ライダー龍玄, Kamen Raidā Ryūgen).^{[lower-alpha 11]} After learning that the white Armored Rider, Zangetsu, is Takatora, Mitsuzane resolves to uncover the truth behind the Yggdrasill Corporation's ties to Helheim Forest. However, motivated to protect Kouta and Mai from the truth so they can live a blissful ignorance, Mitsuzane decides to help his brother in concealing information on Helheim Forest after learning of Yuya's fate and seeing the ruins within the forest. Having admired Kouta for his earnestness, though he finds his friend's ideals and methods disagreeable, Mitsuzane becomes completely disillusioned after Kouta tells Mai everything of the Inves and Yggdrasill's conspiracy. Combined with being slapped by Mai after taking his frustrations on Kouta for making her sad, an unhinged Mitsuzane now sees Kouta as nothing more than a threat to Mai and their friends. After Kaito stops him from attempting to secretly kill Kouta, Mitsuzane stands by to allow Ryoma's group to betray Takatora so he can attack his friend by posing as Zangetsu Shin while forming a secret alliance with Sid to help him get the Forbidden Fruit. But after Sid's death, Mitsuzane forms a new alliance with Redyue where he becomes the Over Lord's proxy so he can save Mai and a fraction of the human race. By that time, after seeing that Kouta continues fighting because of his hope, Mitsuzane reveals his utter hatred towards Kouta before seemingly killing Takatora and then placing Mai in Roshuo's care as the Over Lord invasion reaches its climax. But when she falls ill because of the Golden Fruit within her, Mitsuzane blames Kouta for the turn of events as he accepts the Yomotsuheguri Lockseed from Ryoma despite being warned that it will kill once he becomes Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi (仮面ライダー龍玄・黄泉, Kamen Raidā Ryūgen Yomi).^{[lower-alpha 12]} Luckily, Kouta feigns defeat to save Mitsuzane as he still considers him a friend. By that time, Mitsuzane learns that Ryoma has used him so he can extract the Forbidden Fruit from Mai before destroying Takatora's Genesis Driver. Going into hiding for the duration of the events to follow, a depressed Mitsuzane accepts his role in Mai's apparent death before finding Takatora's comatose body. Three months later, before Takatora finally awakens from his coma, Mitsuzane is still guilt ridden over his past mistakes as he turns down Zack's offer to dance with the Beat Riders again. Seven months after Kouta and Mai have left the Earth, both Mitsuzane and Takatora have begun their new lives. Mitsuzane is still contacted by his old Beat Rider friends to join them, but he still declines their offers. However, when the Locust Monster and Armored Rider Jam attack Zawame, Mitsuzane learns the latter is possessing the girl as he rejoins the Armored Riders as Ryugen before Kouta returns to Earth. After helping Kouta save the girl and destroy Kogane for good, Mitsuzane gives his goodbyes to Kouta and Mai as he decides to rejoin his Beat Rider friends.

As Kamen Rider Ryugen, Mitsuzane usually transforms into the Budou Arms (ブドウアームズ, Budō Āmuzu). In this form, Ryugen wields the Budou Ryuhou (ブドウ龍砲, Budō Ryūhō) gun with which he can perform the Dragon Shot (ドラゴンショット, Doragon Shotto) finishing attack. After buying a Rose Attacker Lockvehicle motorcycle from Sid, he enters the Helheim Forest where he picks up a Kiwi Lockseed that allows him to wear the Kiwi Arms (キウイアームズ, Kiui Āmuzu). In this form he is armed with the Kiwi Gekirin (キウイ撃輪, Kiui Gekirin) wind and fire wheels, enabling him to perform the Spinning Hoop (スピニングフープ, Supiningu Fūpu) finishing attack.

To transform into Kamen Rider Ryugen Yomi, Mitsuzane uses the Yomotsuheguri Lockseed that transforms him into Yomotsuheguri Arms (ヨモツヘグリアームズ, Yomotsuheguri Āmuzu),^{[lower-alpha 13]} resembling a combination of both Budou and Kiwi Arms. In this form, Ryugen Yomi can summon the weapons of the Over Lords, such as Shinmugurun's axe and Redyue's staff, as well as his own Budou Ryuhou and Kiwi Gekirin. However, extended usage of Yomotsuheguri Arms will ultimately result in Mitsuzane's death. The Lockseed is soon removed and destroyed by Gaim when he lets himself be struck by a finishing blow from Ryugen Yomi.

During the events of the film The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, Ryugen receives from Zangetsu the Kamen Rider Double-themed Double Lockseed, enabling him to transform into Double Arms (W（ダブル）アームズ, Daburu Āmuzu), armed with the Trigger Magnum.

Mai Takatsukasa

Mai Takatsukasa (高司 舞, Takatsukasa Mai) is another member of Team Gaim, originally a shrine maiden at the Takatsukasa Shrine as a child before the Yggdrasill Corporation tore it down as part of their development on Zawame. Having learned to dance during her days at the shrine, Mai believes her transition into a Beat Rider does not affect her ideals as she tries to teach the others how to dance better, and has an older sister relationship to the others. She is particularly hard on Kouta, but only because she is secretly in love with him. In Inves Battles, she uses a Himawari Lockseed, but it is damaged and allows the Inves to enter the real world. She finds a kindred spirit in Kaito, another person who has suffered a childhood ruined by the Yggdrasill Corporation. Mai encounters a white-haired girl resembling her who warns her to leave Zawame while she can still decide her destiny. But Mai stays regardless of the mysterious girl's warning and a chain of events occur that lead to her meeting Roshuo who places humanity's Forbidden Fruit inside her body. Mai falls ill as a result and then enters a deep deathlike sleep after Ryoma manages to extract the Forbidden Fruit from her body. However, Sagara communicates to Mai in her subconscious and completes her transition into the mysterious Doppelgänger she encountered: mankind's "Maiden of Fate" (運命の巫女, Unmei no Miko). Learning she possesses the power to travel through time, Mai travels to the moments where Kouta, Kaito, and Mitsuzane first become Armored Riders. However, when Mai attempts to warn them of the fate that awaits them all, she is unable to speak directly and instead speaks in riddles while telling the Armored Riders to fight for their own destinies. Mai learns from Sagara that her actions in the past, including her attempt to warn her past self, has produced a bootstrap paradox that ensures everything unfolds as it does to place her in her current predicament. Mai's actions also caused the events leading to the ultimate battle between Kouta and Kaito as she is unable to reason with either to stop the fight. Once the fight ends, Mai gives Kouta the Golden Fruit and assumes her role as the Woman of the Beginning (始まりの女, Hajimari no Onna) while departing their world to a faraway and barren world via a Crack. Seven months later, Mai and Kouta returns to Earth during Armored Rider Jam's sudden attack on Zawame. She visits Kaito's spirit while waiting for Kouta's return to her. With Kaito's spirit finally at rest, Mai and Kouta depart back to their new planet.

After the Over Lords are defeated, Peko and Chucky find Mai, who has recently fallen ill because of the Golden Fruit within her. When Mitsuzane arrives as well, only Peko still considers Mitsuzane a traitor while Chucky is not so sure until Ryoma arrives to take Mai to a hospital with her and Peko's aid. However, both are soon betrayed by Mitsuzane and Ryoma when they lock the two of them in a room in the hospital, only managing to escape through the window using bedsheets. On their way back, they find Kouta after his fight with Mitsuzane, and believe him to be dead, but he is simply unconscious.

The White Tiger Inves follows Kouta and Mai to their world before the former becomes an Armored Rider for the first time to destroy the Inves. Weeks later, while accessing the Yggdrasill Corporations database, Mitsuzane learns that the White Tiger Inves was actually Yuya after he ate a Helheim Fruit. Though Mitsuzane tries to protect him from the truth, Kouta is horrified once he learns that he has unknowingly killed his friend and eventually makes his peace with the revelation.^[1]

Yuya Sumii is portrayed by Hiromi Sakimoto (崎本 大海, Sakimoto Hiromi).

Team Baron

Team Baron (チームバロン, Chīmu Baron) is the rival team to Team Gaim, dressed in black and red long coats. While their leader Kaito is strongly against cheating, there are group members are prone to cheat in Inves Games to win their ranks. Though they usually do this while Kaito was not around, he learns the truth when they caused the Deer Inves's attack on Zawame. After becoming an Armored Rider, Kaito enlists the services of several Beat Rider groups, including Team Raid Wild, Team Invitto, Team Pop Up (チームPOP UP, Chīmu Poppu Appu, portrayed by the Kamen Rider Girls), Team Soten (チーム蒼天, Chīmu Sōten, portrayed by The Jacabal's), and Team Red Hot, to test Team Gaim's worth. However, as Kaito intended to use the recruited teams as pawns and backup dancers, the alliance soon falters after Teams Raid Wild and Invitto formed their own alliance.

Kaito Kumon

Kaito Kumon (駆紋 戒斗, Kumon Kaito) is the leader of Team Baron who bears a strong hatred towards the Yggdrasill Corporation as their development of Zawame resulted in his father's construction company being closed while he spend his childhood in a poor household. This experience cemented Kaito's ideal that the strong prey on and manipulate the weak, and one should strive to become strong. However, he is against cheating and has a strong sense of honor, seeing that the truly does not need to lie to obtain power. Despite his brooding nature, Kaito cares for children and the safety of his own team. As Team Gaim starts to get popular with Armored Rider Gaim's presence in their Inves Game matches, noticing how the group's focuses more on defense than offense, Kaito gets a call from Sid and receives a Sengoku Driver along with the Banana Lockseed. Challenging Kouta the next day, making it personal by chiding the youth's inability to use his power correctly, Kaito reveals his new status as Team Baron's Armored Rider, the medieval knight-themed Kamen Rider Baron (仮面ライダーバロン, Kamen Raidā Baron). After his initial visit to Helheim Forest, Kaito attempts to buy off various Beat Rider teams into his service before Jounouchi and Hase become Armored Riders themselves. When he resolves to get more power after his team loses their first place standing, Kaito finds Mai in Helheim Forest and learns that they are similar in retrospect of the Yggdrasill Corporation's effect on their families. After being captured by Yggdrasill, learning of their secret activities while stealing a mass production Sengoku Driver for Zack to use, Kaito leaves Team Baton to take on the corporation by himself. While aiding Kouta in his raid into the Yggdrasill Corporation's headquarters, Kaito learns of the company's full agenda from Ryoma. Admitting that he welcomes the invasion of Helheim Forest's plant life, despite being livid of the company's conduct, Kaito finds himself aiding Ryoma's faction in the search for the Over Lord Inves Dēmushu. Seeing that defeating Dēmushu is a true step to gaining power, Kaito gains an equal footing with the Over Lord when he receives a Genesis Driver and a Lemon Energy Lockseed to fight Dēmushu as a New Generation Rider. When his battle with Gaim over their ideals is interrupted by Ryugen knocking his opponent out, Baron drives the Armored Rider away to save the unconscious Kouta. Since then, realizing that Mitsuzane has aligned himself with Yggdrasill, Kaito distrusts Mitsuzane yet does not tell Kouta as the gullible leader of Team Gaim would not believe him anyway. Later, when Dēmushu starts his attack on Zawame, Kaito manages to rally all the Armored Riders and Yoko together as they begin to deal with the Inves invasion by Redyue. Despite playing a vital role in the Over Lords' defeat, Kaito's reasons are personal rather than to protect people as he still embraces the Helheim invasion to obtain the power it holds. His ideals are further fortified by his mutating condition as a result of being wounded by Redyue, with his Genesis Driver treating the symptoms. After his Genesis Driver is disabled by Ryoma when he is about to confront the professor, as the condition worsens, Kaito decides to consume a Helheim Fruit and see how it will turn out. Due to prolonged poisoning from his wound and the resulting adaptation, he manages to transforms into the Over Lord Inves Lord Baron (ロード・バロン, Rōdo Baron) and kills Ryoma while relieving him of his Genesis Driver. In their final battle, Armored Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms deals a finishing blow to Lord Baron, earning Kouta the right to the Golden Fruit. Seven months later, Kaito's spirit emerges from the relocated sacred tree, speaking to Kouta and Mai before he can finally rest at peace.

During the events of the film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle, the antagonist Megahex revives Kaito to serve him, but Kaito, after transforming into Baron once more, pretends to be brainwashed and then double-crosses Megahex, stating that will never kneel to anyone in such a cowardish like Megahex and joins the other Kamen Riders in battle against him. Once Megahex ZZZ is destroyed, Kaito disappears.

As Kamen Rider Baron, Kaito usually uses the Banana Lockseed to transform into Banana Arms (バナナアームズ, Banana Āmuzu). In this form, Baron can perform the Cavaliend (キャバリエンド, Kyabariendo) kick and is armed with the Banaspear (バナスピアー, Banasupiā) lance, which he uses in the Spear Victory (スピアビクトリー, Supia Bikutorī) finishing attack. He later acquires the Mango Lockseed, gaining the Mango Arms (マンゴーアームズ, Mangō Āmuzu). In this form he wields the Mango Punisher (マンゴパニッシャー, Mango Panisshā) morning star, which has the Punish Mash (パニッシュマッシュ, Panisshu Masshu) finishing attack. Kamen Rider Baron also has access to a Rose Attacker (ローズアタッカー, Rōzu Attakkā) Lockvehicle, possessing one before Kamen Rider Ryugen. He later acquires a Dandeliner in Helheim Forest. Gaim lends Baron the Suika Lockseed, allowing Baron to become Suika Arms. Unlike Gaim Suika Arms, Baron Suika Arms wields a large watermelon slice-shaped spear, and in this form he is even able to take on a New Generation Rider in battle. Kaito later acquires his personal Genesis Driver, using the Lemon Energy Lockseed to become Baron Lemon Energy Arms with the Sonic Arrow as his weapon. In Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Baron, he acquired the Forbidden Ringo Lockseed from Yoko, to become Ringo Arms with the Apple Reflector shield and the Sword Bringer as his weapons, though this Lockseed possesses Helheim powers that he would almost turn into an Inves.

As Lord Baron, armed with long sword named Guronbaryamu (グロンバリャム, "Baron" in the Over Lord language), Kaito possesses the same powers as other Over Lord Inves, including creating Cracks and manipulating the flora of Helheim Forest. But in a turn of events, as he has been using the Genesis Driver to stop his infection from Redyue, Kaito has gained a resistance to the corrupting power of the Helheim Forest fruits with his humanity left intact as he can consciously revert to human form after becoming an Over Lord.

The events of The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle introduce the Kamen Rider OOO-themed OOO Arms (オーズアームズ, Ōzu Āmuzu), giving Baron access to the Medajalibur.

Kaito Kumon is portrayed by Yutaka Kobayashi (小林 豊, Kobayashi Yutaka). As a child, Kaito is portrayed by Kurando Katayama (片山 蔵人, Katayama Kurando).

Zack (ザック, Zakku) is another member of Team Baron who originally serves as second-in-command in Kaito's absence before Kaito entrusts his leadership to him. He is an excellent dancer and loyal to Kaito. Zack was formerly a member of a Team Severe Beat, until the team was beaten by Team Baron and Zack decided to switch teams. In his first Inves Battle, he is shown using the Matsubokkuri Lockseed. He is later given a mass production Sengoku Driver that Kaito took during his time in the Yggdrasill Corporation's custody, and is entrusted with the leadership of Team Baron, later using the belt to transform into the squire-themed Kamen Rider Knuckle (仮面ライダーナックル, Kamen Raidā Nakkuru). During Dēmushu's invasion of Zawame, after Kouta is critically injured by the Yggdrasill Corporation's attack and the Over Lord's fatal blow, Zack is ready to sacrifice himself to protect the city from the Inves invasions. Even though the Over Lord/Femushinmu's race are extinct, Zack witnesses Kaito becoming an Over Lord and joins his side. However, when Knuckle fights Gaim Kiwami Arms, he secretly tells Gaim to retreat for their plan to stop Kaito's reign. He later sends a message to Oren through Peko, requesting his help. In his next meeting with Kaito and Yoko atop a building, he attempts to plant a bomb to kill Kaito, but Yoko sees through the deception. After a short scuffle with Yoko, Zack manages to detonate the bomb, but Yoko pushes Kaito out of the way, and she falls to the ground below. Kaito and Zack battle as Baron and Knuckle, but Baron gains the upperhand, driving a Banana Squash attack right through Zack, destroying his Lockseed and Sengoku Driver. Three months later, it is revealed that this fight has only left him with a broken leg, and while watching the dancing Beat Riders, he spots Mitsuzane and forgives him for what he did previously.

As Kamen Rider Knuckle, Zack almost always uses the Kurumi Lockseed to transform into Kurumi Arms (クルミアームズ, Kurumi Āmuzu), armed with the Kurumi Bomber (クルミボンバー, Kurumi Bonbā) gauntlets to punch with. He is temporary given the Suika Lockseed and transforms into Suika Arms, armed with Suika Arms' Boxing Gloves while trying to get Kaito and Yoko escape from auto-piloted Suika Arms armors' attacks inside an infested Yggdrasill Tower.

Zack is portrayed by Gaku Matsuda (松田 岳, Matsuda Gaku).

Peko

Peko (ペコ) is another member of Team Baron. He is loyal to Kaito, but cheats to help Team Baron win at the Inves Game. He was originally invited by Mai to join Team Gaim, but refused and joined Team Baron because they were the top dance team in history. When the Beat Riders want to clear their names from being framed by the citizens (mainly Oren at Takatora's direction) for summoning the Inves attacks and infecting the citizenry, Peko shows his disapproval of Kaito's refusal to join the Beat Rider All-Team Dance Show, but later goes when Kaito resigns from being Team Baron's leader. Peko, along with Zack, defends the city in the event that Kouta is not available, providing backup to Armored Rider Knuckle. During the Inves invasion throughout the world, Peko, along with Zack and Jonouchi, become angered that Mitsuzane has betrayed them. When Mitsuzane tries to take Mai away from the Armored Rider force, Peko tries to stop him from being reckless. However, Peko is attacked by the Over Lord Shinmugurun, leaving Mai no choice to go with Mitsuzane to spare Peko's life. Once Mitsuzane and Shinmugurun successfully kidnap Mai, a brutally injured Peko attempts to call for help. However, his microphone recording the incident prompts Kouta and Kaito to rush to Peko's aid who attempts to tell them that Mitsuzane caused this, before Kaito stops him and has Chucky stay behind to look after him while Kouta chases Mitsuzane down. After the Over Lord/Femushinmu's race becomes extinct, Peko and Chucky find Mai, who has recently fallen ill because of the Golden Fruit within her. When Mitsuzane arrives as well, Peko still considers Mitsuzane a traitor until Ryoma arrives to take her to a hospital with his and Chucky's aid. However, both are soon betrayed by Mitsuzane and Ryoma by locking them in a room in the hospital, only managing to escape through the window using bedsheets. On their way back, they find Kouta after his fight with Mitsuzane, and believe him to be dead, but he is simply unconscious. After learning that Kaito has become an Over Lord, Zack asks Peko to deliver a message to Oren to take Kaito out. Peko later evacuates the city along with the others under the direction of the JSDF. Three months after Earth is saved, he along with other Beat Rider members starts a combined dance troupe. Seven months later while the Beat Riders trying to convince Mitsuzane to come back with them but still decline the offer, Peko reminds his Beat Rider friends about Mitsuzane's past mistakes and ask them to give the young Kureshima a time alone to atone it.

During the events of the film Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!, Peko obtains a Genesis Driver and the Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed which allows him to transform into Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin Matsubokkuri Energy Arms (仮面ライダー黒影・真 マツボックリエナジーアームズ, Kamen Raidā Kurokage Shin Matsubokkuri Enajī Āmuzu), armed with the Kagematsu Shin (影松・真) instead of a Sonic Arrow.

Peko is portrayed by Saku Momose (百瀬 朔, Momose Saku).

Ryoji Hase

Ryoji Hase (初瀬 亮二, Hase Ryōji) is the leader of Team Raid Wild (チームレイドワイルド, Chīmu Reido Wairudo) whose he and his members were dressed in black and yellow clothes. He is first seen defeated by Kaito's three Inves, and later defeated by Armored Rider Gaim after being warned by Team Invitto's Jonouchi that he would lose against Team Gaim. Though he initially thinks it is a mistake to align himself with Team Baron when the Armored Riders come into play, Hase accepts the position. However, Jonouchi later changes his mind and convinces him to get his own Sengoku Driver, enabling him to transform into ashigaru-themed Kamen Rider Kurokage (仮面ライダー黒影, Kamen Raidā Kurokage).^{[lower-alpha 14]}

Kamen Rider Kurokage's only form is Matsubokkuri Arms (マツボックリアームズ, Matsubokkuri Āmuzu). As Kurokage, he wields the Kagematsu (影松) yari,^{[lower-alpha 15]} and he later acquires a Sakura Hurricane motorcycle.

After his first foray into Helheim Forest as part of Mitsuzane's plan to draw out Kamen Rider Zangetsu, Kurokage is attacked by Zangetsu and his Sengoku Driver is destroyed. The Yggdrasill Corporation scientists use the data gathered to mass-produce the Kurokage model of the Sengoku Driver, leading to the formation of the Kurokage Troopers. Now rendered powerless, his alliance with Jonouchi and Team Invitto is dissolved and Team Raid Wild abandons him after a loss to Team Baron in an Inves Game. He soon begins suffering from hallucinations of being attacked by Inves as well as Armored Riders Zangetsu and Bravo. In his delirium, he begins to equate the Helheim Forest's fruits with power and upon finding them in the real world, right near where Gaim, Baron, and Zangetsu Shin are about to fight, he eats one and mutates into the Bixie Inves (ヘキジャインベス, Hekija Inbesu). Although Kouta tries to find some way to save him, even after Hase attacks Rat, Hase is obliterated by New Generation Rider Sigurd.

Ryoji Hase is portrayed by Atsushi Shiramata (白又 敦, Shiramata Atsushi).

Hideyasu Jonouchi

Hideyasu Jonouchi (城乃内 秀保, Jōnouchi Hideyasu) is the leader, and only male member, of Team Invitto (チームインヴィット, Chīmu Invitto) whose other members consists of girls. He is known for his ironically, cowardly tactics and being the weakest amongst the Armored Riders. After joining the alliance with Team Baron to stand a chance against Team Gaim, Jonouchi uses the Ichigo Lockseed given to him by Kaito to use a Bat Inves against Team Gaim's new Armored Rider Ryugen. After learning of Kaito's intention to use his alliance to gain pawns, Jonouchi obtains his own Sengoku Driver and uses the Donguri Lockseed to transform into medieval squire-themed Kamen Rider Gridon (仮面ライダーグリドン, Kamen Raidā Guridon). After the foray in Helheim forest and Team Raid Wild's supposed disbandment, Jonouchi ends his alliance with Hase as he sees him of no further use. He later goes to Oren to make an alliance with him as he had with Hase, but finds himself forcefully employed as an assistant pâtissier in the Charmant which he considers a mixed blessing as he is not subject to threats like the other Beat Riders. His training under Oren as both a patisserie and a fighter proved vital to his development as a person. Later hired by Yggdrasill to force Kouta to give up his Sengoku Driver, Jonouchi's role was to attack Akira while she is visiting the Charmant if Kouta refuses. However, unaware that his Donguri Lockseed was switched with a fake created by Oren, Jonouchi ends up being knocked out by a conjured frying pan that is created by using the fake Lockseed on his Sengoku Driver. Despite helping Oren to destroy the Beat Riders' final dance event, Jonouchi ends up dancing with his teammates. When everything is changed at the end of the Inves Game war, and a sudden appearance of the endless Inves come out of nowhere during an outbreak while seeing most of the Armored Riders trying to sacrificed themselves to defend the city, Jonouchi finally awakens his fighting spirit, protecting Oren from the rampant Inves. He has since then joined the other riders as a useful and capable fighter defending the city. His belt is later destroyed by Kamen Riders Knuckle and Marika after Kaito's ascension into an Over Lord. After this even, he joins the Japan Self-Defense Forces' evacuation with the others. Three months after Kouta emerged victorious in his fight with Kaito, Jonouchi continues to work at Charmant with Oren. By this time, Jonouchi has learned the truth of what happened to Hase, and feels responsible for his death, but Oren tells him all he can do is accept that he cannot change the past and he must simply move on with his life. Four months later, when Armored Rider Jam arrives, Jonouchi confronts Takatora about his role in Hase's death before taking the last mass-produced Sengoku Driver to help in the fight as a Kurokage Trooper in Hase's memory.

Kamen Rider Gridon's only form is Donguri Arms (ドングリアームズ, Donguri Āmuzu). He wields the Donkachi (ドンカチ) hammer. Jonouchi dislikes the name "Gridon", as it was given to him by Hase after the first transformation and it is simply an anagram of the Japanese word for acorn. He receives a Rose Attacker Lockvehicle from Sid. He later is given the Suika Lockseed by Oren, but his inability to use it properly leads to Kamen Rider Bravo simply using him as a weapon.

Hideyasu Jonouchi is portrayed by Ryo Matsuda (松田 凌, Matsuda Ryō).

Sonomura

Sonomura (曽野村) is the leader of Team Red Hot (チームレッドホット, Chīmu Reddo Hotto) whose members wear red flame themed clothing, motivated by own fame and freedom. After ending his team's alliance with Team Baron, Sonomura was given the last Sengoku Driver from Sid with the Durian Lockseed included. However, before he could use it, Sonomura loses the belt to Oren while celebrating with his posse in the Charmant. After the Beat Riders are demonized for the Inves' infective properties, Sonomura and his team take advantage by jailbreaking Lockseeds to have the Inves commit robberies. When Kouta learns of this from Mai, who was saved alongside Chucky by Kaito and Zack, he confronts Sonomura about using the Inves for personal gain. Though he offers Kouta a place in his group, Sonomura reveals a Mango Lockseed Sid gave him. He uses it to summon the Lion Inves until the Lockseed shorts out, nearly getting himself killed by the masterless Lion Inves.

Sonomura is portrayed by Takashi Kitadai (北代 高士, Kitadai Takashi).

Oren Pierre Alfonzo

Oren Pierre Alfonzo (凰蓮・ピエール・アルフォンゾ, Ōren Piēru Arufonzo), his birth name Gennosuke Oren (凰蓮 厳之介, Ōren Gennosuke), is an effeminate and muscular ex-soldier in the Parachute Regiment who spent 10 years in France to become a pâtissier. Owning the Charmant (シャルモン, Sharumon) pastry shop in Zawame City, Oren expresses a distaste towards the Beat Riders for being destroyers of art and worthless amateurs in combat. After forcefully relieves Team Red Hot's leader Sonomura of the last unclaimed Sengoku Driver, Oren enters the fray to show how a true fight is meant to be as the iron maiden/gladiator-themed Kamen Rider Bravo (仮面ライダーブラーボ, Kamen Raidā Burābo). Having fallen in love for Zangetsu while taking Jonouchi as his apprentice, Oren is employed by Yggdrasill as enforcer against the other Armored Riders during the Inves outbreak. Oren gladly accepts the offer and uses his new position, and an altercation with Baron while his group were being blamed for the Inves outbreak, to gain the people's adoration as a hero of the city. From there, believing they were responsible at the time, Oren makes numerous smear campaigns against the Beat Riders until learning from Jonouchi that the Beat Riders have long since ended the Inves Games and the Inves appearing are from the Cracks. Upon finding a Crack, Oren ends up being trapped before he is found by Kouta and returns to his world while helping to protect Yggdrasill scientists from Dēmushu's Inves army. Soon after Dēmushu invades Zawame, Oren allies himself with the Beat Riders to fight off the invading Inves. He's able to spot an impostor's Zangetsu Shin's identity behind his fighting style isn't elegant as the original. After Oren's belt is destroyed by Kaito, he and the other survivors at Drupers are evacuated by the Japan Self-Defense Forces from the city. Three months later, Oren resumes his business in a rebuilt Charmant while helping Jonouchi get over his guilt over Hase's death and his worries concerning Mitsuzane, who Oren is sure will find a better place for himself in the future.

Yggdrasill Corporation

The Yggdrasill Corporation, Co. Ltd. (ユグドラシルコーポレーション, Yugudorashiru Kōporēshon) is a powerful international conglomerate that has set up shop in Zawame for having the highest frequency of Crack occurrences, having built the city from the ground up by destroying almost everything and literally remodeling Zawame, as well as taking the city's "sacred tree" and opening a Crack to Helheim Forest through it for research purposes. While the corporation has its hands in many fields and covers almost all socioeconomic aspects of city-dwelling, it is however in essence, a research organization dedicated to stopping the plants of Helheim Forest. Due to Yggdrasill's omnipresence in Zawame, it makes the populace feel that they are living in a jōkamachi (城下町^?, castle town)

rather than a bustling city. To prevent widespread panic and continue their research, the Yggdrasill Corporation plays a role in the establishment of the Inves Games and the Armored Riders, while covering up the existence of Helheim Forest from the public and creating Lockseed-compatible weapons in their research and development branch. Once acquiring sufficient data on the Armored Riders, the high-ranked members of the Yggdrasill Corporation receive the perfected Genesis Driver (ゲネシスドライバー, Geneshisu Doraibā), inserting the Energy Lockseeds into the belt's Genesis Core (ゲネシスコア, Geneshisu Koa) to become stronger versions of the Armored Riders known as the New Generation Riders (新世代ライダー, Shin Sedai Raidā) and armed with energy bows called Sonic Arrows (ソニックアロー, Sonikku Arō). While the company was founded to find a way to stop the flora of Helheim Forest from entering the world, or at best preventing a worldwide extiction event by 10 years, Ryoma acts on his own interests and exposes the company's seedy secrets to the public which resulted in the company being defunct after all its employees resigning en masse after the it was labeled a terrorist organization. Three months after the Earth is cleansed of Helheim Forest's plants, Yggdrasill Tower has been torn down with its absence bringing life back to Zawame City.

Takatora Kureshima

Takatora Kureshima (呉島 貴虎, Kureshima Takatora) is Mitsuzane's older brother who is a project leader in the Yggdrasill Corporation's Research and Development branch. Though a realist willing to commit horrible acts if for the greater good of humanity, Takatora has a bad habit of trusting the dishonest and dearly loves his younger brother Mitsuzane with a desire for him to do well in school so he can join the family business. Prior to the story, suffering scars from setback, Takatora was instrumental in testing the early prototypes of the Sengoku Driver before using the Melon Lockseed and a finalized Sengoku Driver prototype to become Kamen Rider Zangetsu (仮面ライダー斬月, Kamen Raidā Zangetsu) to deal with the Inves in Helheim Forest.^{[lower-alpha 16]} Despite his questionable methods, he actually wants to save as many people as he can by instructing Ryoma to lower the Sengoku Drivers' specs to facilitate easier mass production. After the development of the Genesis Drivers and his new transformation into Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin (仮面ライダー斬月・真, Kamen Raidā Zangetsu Shin), deeming the Beat Riders to have outlived their purpose in the trial, Takatora learned Mitsuzane was made an Armored Rider behind his back and shows his younger brother the ruins in Helheim Forest so he can help him for the greater good. Takatora also shows Kouta the ruins, seeing same ideals he once embodied in the youth as he is adamant to crush Kouta's spirit. Though he attempts this by showing Kouta what became of Yuya Sumii, it ends up having the opposite effect on Kouta as he destroys Yggdrasill's Scalar System. After Mitsuzane reports to the group that DJ Sagara is helping Kouta, concealing the full story of the Over Lord Inves, Takatora does not believe these turn of events at first until he encounters Dēmushu. With Kouta telling him the full story of the Over Lords, Takatora sees an alternative to save the Earth with without massive sacrifices as he allies with Kouta. However, oblivious that Mitsuzane is helping them, Takatora finds himself betrayed by Ryoma's group as he is left in Helheim Forest to die without his Genesis Driver to protect him. Luckily, Takatora is saved by the Over Lord Roshuo, his wounds dressed while given a damaged Sengoku Driver as he learns more about the Over Lords while realizing that Ryoma is after the Forbidden Fruit. Once back in his world, following the Beat Riders as they storm the Yggdrasill building, Takatora learns of Mitsuzane's actions in his absence. Seeing the crossfire between Kouta and Mitsuzane, he ultimately decides to side with Kouta and obtains his Melon Lockseed and original Sengoku Driver to fight his brother. While fighting against Mitsuzane as Zangetsu, he gains the upper hand, but is defeated due to the hesitation for a split second allowing Mitsuzane to slash him in a point-blank range with Melon Energy Squash. His Sengoku Driver detaches itself from his body and drops into a bush, while Takatora's helmet starts to shatter as he falls into the river. Though it was believed Takatora was dead, it would be later revealed after Kouta and Mai's departure that he was found the riverside and taken to a hospital. Having remained in the coma for three months, after having a dream where Kouta forgives his earlier actions and asks him to help Mitsuzane, Takatora regains conscious while happy to see his younger brother at his bedside. Seven months after Helheim Forest has been eradicated from the Earth, Takatora and Mitsuzane live their new lives. Takatora meets Akira Kazuraba and they discuss their younger brothers and how they have raised them, until they are interrupted by the attack by Armored Rider Jam and its Locust Monster. After a discussion with his fellow former Armored Riders about Jam's attacks, Takatora is approached by Jonouchi about what happened to Hase when Takatora was in Yggdrasill. Takatora tells him the truth, which saddens him, and he steals Takatora's suitcase because he was responsible for Hase's downfall and death. Takatora lets him have the suitcase, as it contains the final mass-produced Sengoku Driver and Matsubokkuri Lockseed so Jonouchi can fight Jam as Armored Rider Kurokage to honor Hase's memory.

During the events of the film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle, Takatora regains his leadership in reforming Yggdrasill after Jam's attack. When Megahex invades Earth after his invasion on Helheim planet for Kouta's Kiwami Lockseed and Mai, Takatora obtains a new Sengoku Driver after the defeat of some of the Mecha Kurokage Troopers to join the fight as Kamen Rider Zangetsu and later a Genesis Driver after he defeat Mecha Ryoma Sengoku to join the others as Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin.

As Kamen Rider Zangetsu, Takatora normally transforms into the Melon Arms (メロンアームズ, Meron Āmuzu). In this form he wields the Melon Defender (メロンディフェンダー, Meron Difendā) shield, which he can use in a boomerang-like fashion, as well as a Musou Saber, like Kamen Rider Gaim. In the events of the film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, Takatora uses the Fourze Arms (フォーゼアームズ, Fōze Āmuzu), a Lockseed modelled after Kamen Rider Fourze appearing in giving him access to the Rocket Module. Prior to obtaining Bujin Fourze's Rocket Switch, he also picks up Bujin Double's Joker Memory when he unintentionally assists Bujin Gaim, which he later gives to Ryugen. In Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu, he uses the Watermelon Lockseed (ウォーターメロンロックシード, Uōtāmeron Rokkushīdo), a proto-type version of the Suika Lockseed, to become Watermelon Arms (ウォーターメロンアームズ, Uōtāmeron Āmuzu) armed with a Musou Saber and the Watermelon Gatling Gun (ウォーターメロンガトリングガン, Gatoringu Gan) which resembles the Melon Defender but with a minigun-like attachment in place of the sharp point on the bottom.

As Zangetsu Shin, Takatora uses the Genesis Driver and the Melon Energy Lockseed to wear an advanced version of both, with the transformation being called Melon Energy Arms (メロンエナジーアームズ, Meron Enajī Āmuzu).

Takatora Kureshima is portrayed by Yuki Kubota (久保田 悠来, Kubota Yūki).

Sid

Lock Dealer Sid (錠前ディーラー シド, Jōmae Dīrā Shido) is one of Takatora's subordinates, aiding him to sell Lockseeds needed for the Inves Game before beginning Takatora's experiment with the prototype Sengoku Drivers. Sid also was the last person to see Yuya as he presented him with a Sengoku Driver, which later ends up in Kouta's possession. However, Sid's intentions are shady at best as not only he gave Kouta and Kaito prototype Lockvehicle Lockseeds and provided Sengoku Drivers to the other Armored Riders but he also conceals Mitsuzane's Armored Rider status from Takatora. He is also given a Genesis Driver and the Cherry Energy Lockseed to transform into the Viking-themed Kamen Rider Sigurd (仮面ライダーシグルド, Kamen Raidā Shigurudo), whose main form is Cherry Energy Arms (チェリーエナジーアームズ, Cherī Enajī Āmuzu). He attempts to take down Kouta, easily beating him in Orange Arms until Kouta changes into Jimber Lemon Arms and the tables are turned with Sid losing his Cherry Energy Lockseed to Kouta. After getting a new Cherry Energy Lockseed, he reveals the ability to use his own artificial Sid Lockseed, emblazoned with the letter S, on Suika Lockseeds with the Sonic Arrow to summon remote-controlled Suika Arms to fight with. He is sent by Ryoma to dispose of Kouta after deeming him a threat to their agenda, but Gaim's current overwhelming power completely overpowers Sigurd. After Takatora discovers the Over Lords' existence, Sid helped Ryoma in disposing of their mutual hindrance. Once Takatora is removed from the picture, Sid no longer sees a reason to maintain his partnership with Ryoma as he destroys the lab equipment that maintains the artificial Crack and most of Lock Vehicles except taking a Rose Attacker used by the Yggdrasill Corporation, to enter Helheim Forest so he can get the Forbidden Fruit for himself. However, Sid still cooperates with Mitsuzane in secret as they both want Kouta dead. While Dēmushu escapes to Earth, after he and Mitsuzane briefly fight Redyue, Sid is guided to where Roshuo and the Forbidden Fruit are. Unaware that he is being used by Redyue, Sigurd finds himself gravely outmatched against Roshuo as his Genesis Driver is shattered by the Over Lord's power. Though offered a chance to flee with his life, Sid refuses to remain as someone who serves those higher than himself and is killed by Roshuo who crushes him between two massive rock walls.

Sid is portrayed by Kazuki Namioka (波岡 一喜, Namioka Kazuki).

DJ Sagara

DJ Sagara (DJサガラ, Dī Jei Sagara), believing that one must shine to be remembered by others, is a mysterious man whose only agenda is to see the future unfold in terms of who can obtain the power of Helheim Forest. Sagara originally supported the Yggdrasill Corporation, appearing to them via hologram, as the DJ of a pirate radio station promote the Inves Games with his Beat Riders Hotline internet show. Sagara ultimately sets up much of Zawame's terms such as Beat Riders (ビートライダーズ, Bīto Raidāzu) and Armored Riders. With the first group of Armored Riders no longer needed by the Yggdrasill Corporation, Sagara begins to show an interest in Kouta and secretly helps him escape while presenting him with the Genesis Core that Ryoma made for his Sengoku Driver. In time, creating the Kachidoki Lockseed and then telling Ryoma of the location of the Forbidden Fruit, Sagara is revealed to be not human and of Helheim Forest, though his true nature is different from the Over Lords'. Though he agrees with Roshuo's feelings towards humans, Sagara convinces the Over Lord to give them a second chance as he receives the Kiwami Lockseed, crafted from a part of the Forbidden Fruit, while being warned that the one worthy of being its user can save mankind or doom it. Certain that Kouta is one such person, he entrusts the Lockseed to him. After the Golden Fruit is ultimately entrusted to Mai, Sagara reveals his true identity as the will of Helheim Forest itself. As an immortal embodiment of the forest, Sagara's task is to observe and hasten evolution, explaining that only a Maiden of Fate can bestow the power of the Golden Fruit to one worthy of it. When Kouta is given the Golden Fruit and uses its power to transfer Helheim Forest's plants and Inves to a new barren planet with Earth remaining as it is, a surprised Sagara is slightly disappointed but accepts Kouta's wish. After seeing Kouta and Mai off while telling them to fill their new world with life, Sagara departs for another world to repeat the cycle.

DJ Sagara is portrayed by Tomomitsu Yamaguchi (山口 智充, Yamaguchi Tomomitsu).

Ryoma Sengoku

Ryoma Sengoku (戦極 凌馬, Sengoku Ryōma) is a brilliant scientist in the Yggdrasill Corporation's research division who conducts experiments to develop the Armored Riders' Drivers as part of Project Ark, a plan established by the Yggdrasill Corporation to save a seventh of the human population by providing them the means of obtaining nutrients from Lockseeds without mutating into Inves. Though he works under Takatora, considering him a fool for his sense of morality, Ryoma secretly acts on his own agenda to obtain the Forbidden Fruit. After the events of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, Ryoma presents the completed Genesis Drivers to Takatora and Minato. Keeping one of the Genesis Drivers, Ryoma gains the ability to become the knight-like Kamen Rider Duke (仮面ライダーデューク, Kamen Raidā Dyūku). However, feeling the Armored Riders might be of use to him, Ryoma decides to allow Kouta and Kaito to escape to take his research to newer levels, unaware that the Lemon Energy Lockseed and Genesis Driver Core he offered to him were given by DJ Sagara. Ryoma assists Mitsuzane in hiding his transgressions against his brother's plans, but enlists him in infiltrating Team Gaim to discover more about Gaim's new powers. He later decides to test these abilities personally, defeating Baron when the other Armored Rider interferes. Later, when Kaito manages to infiltrate the Yggdrasill Corporation's laboratories, Ryoma tells him the truth of Yggdrasill's actions and tests him to decide whether he can be of use to his faction, consisting of himself, Minato and Sid. He gives Kaito a test to hunt down one of the special Inves that he designated as an Over Lord, keeping the existence of the Over Lord Inves from Takatora. But when he witnesses Gaim Kachidoki Arms, Ryoma is livid that someone else has managed to create a Lockseed with such overwhelming powers before learning DJ Sagara was responsible. Learning that Kouta has not only obtained overwhelming power but also learned about the existence of Over Lords, Ryoma now deems him a threat to his plans. Though he is able to confront Sagara, who explains his methods will not work, the DJ reveals he is aware of Ryoma's ulterior motives behind Project Ark and tells him that his prize is with the Over Lords. After Takatora finally discovers the Over Lords' existence, as well forming a truce with Kouta, Ryoma finally decides to betray Takatora to leave him for dead in Helheim Forest. But some time after Sid betrayed him to act on his own, Ryoma abandons the Yggdrasill Building when the Over Lords start invading Zawame while leaking Project Ark to the public so the company would not interfere in his plans. Ryoma returns to Zawame later as the Inves invasion is being controlled by the other Armored Riders, seemingly helping Kouta to regain control of the Yggdrasill building while observing the youth's transformation into an Over Lord. When Mai returns with the Forbidden Fruit within her, Ryoma offers his help to Mitsuzane by saving Mai and giving him the Yomotsuheguri Lockseed to Kouta stating that Kouta will eventually come for the whole fruit within Mai. He then extracts the Golden Fruit from Mai without regard for her well-being, effectively killing her as the fruit is fused with her heart. He then disables all the other Genesis Drivers to avoid direct confrontation with Yoko, Kaito, and Mitsuzane. Kaito proceeds to fight him using his Sengoku Driver but is soon overwhelmed by Duke's power, who then consume a Helheim Fruit and transforms into Lord Baron before Ryoma's eyes. Infuriated and insulted that a human can evolve in such a way without using his Drivers, Ryoma continues to fight, but is soon overpowered, stripped of his Genesis Driver and severely injured. Ryoma gives one final warning to Kaito on how he has forsaken his humanity before he trips over a guard rail and falls to his death.

As Duke, Ryoma uses Lemon Energy Lockseed to transform into Lemon Energy Arms (レモンエナジーアームズ, Remon Enajī Āmuzu).

Ryoma temporarily transfers his brain into the robot body of Hakaider as a favor to a colleague in the DARK organization to test the android's combat ability, making him an equal to Gaim Kachidoki Arms. However, Hakaider's programming overrides Ryoma's mind as he is compelled to destroy Kikaider and anyone in his way. After Hakaider escapes from the battle with Gaim and Kikaider when overpowered, Ryoma restores his mind to his own body while fearful of the android's nature and purpose to DARK.

During the events of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle, Ryoma Sengoku comes back to life as the cyborg Mecha Ryoma Sengoku (メカ戦極 凌馬, Meka Sengoku Ryōma), obtaining a new Genesis Driver and possesses the Dragonfruit Energy Lockseed (ドラゴンフルーツエナジーロックシード, Doragonfurūtsu Enajī Rokkushīdo) from his new boss, Megahex, which he uses to transform into Kamen Rider Duke Dragon Energy Arms (ドラゴンエナジーアームズ, Doragon Enajī Āmuzu). Despite becoming an ultimate life-form, he is easily defeated by Zangetsu, being told about his ambition is nothing more than an empty desire and weakness, even when he was human, then he died turned into a scrap and crumbles, leaving his Genesis Driver is taken by Takatora for his transformation into Zangetsu Shin once more.

Ryoma Sengoku is portrayed by Tsunenori Aoki (青木 玄徳, Aoki Tsunenori).^[2]

Yoko Minato

Yoko Minato (湊 耀子, Minato Yōko) is Ryoma's female bodyguard when he hands out the Genesis Drivers after the events of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle. She uses her Genesis Driver to become the Arabian warrior-like Kamen Rider Marika (仮面ライダーマリカ, Kamen Raidā Marika), whose form is Peach Energy Arms (ピーチエナジーアームズ, Pīchi Enajī Āmuzu). She later assists Mitsuzane in a scheme to take Kouta's Sengoku Driver, deeming the plan to be faulty due to the youth's unwillingness to personally handle the deed himself. But ultimately, though she went along with it on Takatora's orders, Minato's loyalty is to Ryoma as she reports to Takatora about his younger brother's betrayal while relaying the youth's offer for a partnership to Ryoma to cover it up. She loses her Peach Energy Lockseed to Kouta when he rips it from her Genesis Driver after she deactivates it. After she received a new Peach Energy Lockseed from Ryoma, having helped him escape Dēmushu, Minato develops an interest in Kaito and vouches for him to Ryoma to make the youth into a New Generation Rider. After Redyue takes over the Yggdrasil building, abandoned by Ryoma and the company, Yoko switches sides to help the Armored Riders against the Inves invasion. She remains by Kaitos side, and discovers that he is using the Genesis Driver to stave off an infection from his fight with Redyue. When her Genesis Driver is destroyed by Ryoma, she watches from the sidelines as Kaito becomes the Inves Lord Baron and kills Ryoma, but as he walks off to try to find Mai to gain the full power of the Forbidden Fruit, she picks up Ryoma's discarded Genesis Driver and Lemon Energy Lockseed for unknown purposes. She later dies from falling off a building in an attempt to protect Kaito from Zack's bomb, confessing her love for him before passing.

Kurokage Troopers

The Kurokage Troopers (黒影トルーパー, Kurokage Torūpā) are a group of Yggdrasill Corporation soldiers who have armors based on the form of Kamen Rider Kurokage. These soldiers transform with the use of the mass production version of the Sengoku Driver, which lack the user lock function present in the prototype models, and the common Matsubokkuri Lockseed. While normally dispatched into the streets of Zawame to destroy any evidence related to Helheim Forest, the Kurokage Troopers function as support units for their employers.

Unknown to Akira, she is targeted by her own employers to make Kouta give up his transformation belt. However, she is glad to be safe. When she is downsized at work, it forces Kouta to look for a new job. While trying to find Kouta and his alliance to get a young boy she befriended during her time in the shelters, she is caught by Redyue's Inves to be one of the many humans used to revive Roshuo's bride, using her life force to power a machine to ensure her revival. Rat and Rica try their best to free them, but Kaito, Zack, and Yoko's arrival later finally frees Akira and the others from Redyue's grasps. She does her best to support her brother during the final battles in Zawame, but watches in horror as he eats one of the Helheim fruits, to no negative effect. When the JSDF comes to evacuate the remaining civilians, Akira goes with them, tearfully saying goodbye to her brother as he plans on staying in Zawame to face off against Kaito once and for all. Seven months after the Earth is saved and her younger brother's disappearance, Akira has a discussion with Takatora concerning relationships with younger brothers, until their talk is interrupted by the attack of Armored Rider Jam and the Locust Monster.

Inves

The Inves (インベス, Inbesu), the name of which derived from the term "invasive species", are strange monsters that are thought to only exist within the newly popular Inves Game (インベスゲーム, Inbesu Gēmu), which involves Lockseeds. They hail from an alternate realm known as Helheim Forest (ヘルヘイムの森, Heruheimu no Mori) where they normally feed on unripe Lockseeds, summoned to Zawame via Lockseeds opening zipper-like portals called "Cracks" (クラック, Kurakku) for them to travel. It is later revealed that the dimension was originally the home of the Femushinmu race before it was consumed by the Helheim Forest, the Inves revealed to be organisms that have mutated as the result of eating the mysterious fruit of Helheim Forest that the Lockseeds are developed from. Each Inves serves in Helheim Forest's seed dispersal system, transferring the seeds to Zawame where they rapidly grow and convert the ecosystem. The seeds can also germinate within the bodies of humans who are physically attacked by an Inves. Helheim Forest's plant life is toxic; it contaminates the soil it grows in and makes it unsuitable for any other type of plants to grow, displacing any native plant life and allowing them to take over the area. However, among the fruit created by Helheim's plants is one that is the basis of the Forbidden Fruit (禁断の果実, Kindan no Kajitsu), alternatively Golden Fruit (黄金の果実, Ōgon no Kajitsu), mentioned in various myths, such as the golden apples of Norse mythology or ambrosia of Greek mythology. As the Forbidden Fruit is created once a world is consumed by Helheim Forest, it is awarded to one that the forest deems worthy to evolve and change the world. Though numerous parties like Ryoma Sengoku are after this fruit, the Forbidden Fruit can only be bestowed to a worthy user by a Maiden of Fate.

Most Inves are the vaguely pupa-like Elementary Inves (初級インベス, Shokyū Inbesu) that come in three different colors and facial designs, but they can eat ripened Lockseeds to molt into Evolved Forms (進化体, shinkatai). Both types can be summoned by Lockseeds in Inves Games, normally existing within a holographic field. But when a Lockseed is dropped or damaged, an Inves enters a Berserker State (凶暴態, Kyōbōtai) while full manifesting with the only means to stop the creature is destroying it or close the lock on the Lockseed used to summon it to send it home. This must be done before the Inves can consume the Lockseed used to summon it, especially as Evolved Inves can evolve into a stronger form (強化体, kyōkatai) or just Super Evolved Forms (超進化体, Chō Shinkatai). There are also Inves created from humans that ate the mysterious fruits such as Yuya Sumii and Ryoji Hase and are labeled by the Yggdrasill Corporation as Category H (カテゴリーH, Kategorī Eichi) Inves. Yggdrasill considers such Inves to be nothing more than reanimated corpses controlled by the forest's instinct. For some reason, these Category H Inves do not infect people with the pathogen that causes Helheim's fruits to grow from their wounds. It is soon discovered that the Inves and the Helheim appearing in Zawame after the end of the Inves Games are being controlled by an Over Lord Inves.^[3]

Deer

The Deer Inves (シカインベス, Shika Inbesu) is an Evolved Inves, summoned by Kouta with the Ichigo Lockseed during an Inves Game. When Team Baron's Peko disarms Kouta's Ichigo Lockseed, the Deer Inves fully manifests and wreaks havoc on Zawame. Eventually, the Deer Inves ingests the Ichigo Lockseed and evolves into a super evolved form while gaining the ability to manipulate fire. After Kaito gives Gaim the Pine Lockseed, Kamen Rider Gaim Pine Arms finally is able to destroy the Deer Inves. Kouta later encounters another Deer Inves in Helheim Forest and uses the Pine Arms to destroy it.^[4]

Bat

The Bat Inves (コウモリインベス, Kōmori Inbesu) is an Evolved Inves, summoned by Jonouchi with the Ichigo Lockseed during an Inves Game before being destroyed by Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou Arms.^[5] A mutated (変種体, henshutai) Bat Inves appears after a maintenance worker eats the Helheim fruit and attacks people throughout Zawame. It is destroyed through the combined efforts of Kamen Rider Gaim Orange Arms and Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou Arms.^[6]

Boar

The Boar Inves (イノシシインベス, Inoshishi Inbesu) is a Super Evolved Inves which is created when an Elementary Inves eats several mature Lockseeds at once. It has a powerful armor that deflects attacks from Kamen Rider Ryugen, but Kamen Rider Gaim Suika Arms is able to destroy the armor and ultimately destroy the Inves.

Azure Dragon

The Azure Dragon Inves (セイリュウインベス, Seiryū Inbesu) are powerful Inves with armored bodies that slashing weapons are normally ineffective against, yet weapons designed to inflict damage on the armor like the Pine Iron and Mango Punisher are effective. Mai and Kaito first encounter an Azure Dragon Inves while trying to find a way out of the Helheim Forest, the monster ultimately gets destroyed by Gaim Pine Arms and Baron Mango Arms. Another Azure Dragon Inves later appears in the real world and eats an immature fruit, taking on a super-evolved form resembling a larger serpentine creature, and is ultimately defeated by Zangetsu Shin using the Sonic Arrow.^[7]

Long-Horned Beetle

The Long-Horned Beetle Inves (カミキリインベス, Kamikiri Inbesu) is an Evolved Inves which Kamen Rider Gridon intentionally allows to be created to give himself and Kamen Rider Kurokage a head-start in the "game" developed by Mitch to draw out the white Armored Rider. It can use its antennae as whips, and is resistant to Kamen Rider Ryugen Budou Arms' attacks, but it does show a weakness to Kiwi Arms' Kiwi Gekirin. Kamen Rider Gaim Suika Arms eventually destroys the Inves.^[8]

Lion

The Lion Inves (ライオンインベス, Raion Inbesu) is a powerful Inves that Sonomura of Team Red Hot summons from a jailbroken Mango Lockseed that he acquired from Sid as part of a deal to take Kouta's Sengoku Driver. However, when the Lockseed shorts out due to the modifications, the Lion Inves grows wings and goes after its summoner before running amok. It is only after the Lion Inves knocks off the Rider Indicator from Gaim's Sengoku Driver that Gaim is able to transform into Jimber Lemon Arms, easily destroying the Lion Inves with powers of the Lemon Energy Lockseed powering the Sonic Arrow and an Orange Squash attack. Another Lion Inves appears during the initial attack by the Badan Empire, though its appearance was unintentional on Moguraroid's part of accidentally digging up Cracks. After eating a Helheim Forest fruit while being attacked by the ToQgers, this Lion Inves grows to gigantic proportions, leading to it being destroyed by the ToQgers' ToQ-Oh CarCarrier Tank.^[9]

Goat

The Goat Inves (ヤギインベス, Yagi Inbesu) is a powerful Inves that is destroyed by the combined forces of Kamen Rider Gaim Kachidoki Arms and Kikaider.^[10]

Over Lords

The Over Lord Inves (オーバーロードインベス, Ōbārōdo Inbesu) are powerful Inves who rose above the ordinary kind and maintained their intelligence. They are few in number due to the wish made by Roshuo that led to series of wars that nearly drive his people to extinction with only a few survivors that are unable to revive their race. The Over Lords' existence is initially known to only DJ Sagara and Ryoma Sengoku's group, with Kouta, Kaito and Mitsuzane learning of their existence as well later from the respective group, the latter keeping Takatora Kureshima in the dark as the Over Lords possess something that they need for their agenda, ultimately revealed to be the Forbidden Fruit. According to Roshuo, the Forbidden Fruit cannot be used for such foolish means. Though they have the power to avert the forest's invasion, their leader indifferent and neutral in such affairs, some of the Over Lords have no other interests save to fight worthy opponents, seeing the Armored Riders as things to toy with after being in Helheim Forest for so long with no nothing much to do. The Over Lords' language is a cipher of the Japanese language, although more complicated than that of the Gurongi of Kamen Rider Kuuga. The names of the Over Lords are simply their armor's color or their animal motif translated from Japanese into the Over Lord language. After meeting Takatora, Roshuo reveals to the human that the Over Lords were originally the Femushinmu (フェムシンム) race, the dominant species of their world before Helheim Forest consumed it. Having survived the forest, they became special Inves that maintain their sense of self with the power to control the plants of Helheim Forest itself as well as teleport. In the Over Lord language cipher, "Femushinmu" translates to "human" (人間, ningen), and they sometimes refer to humanity with this word, but those more contemptuous use "dyoburyo" (デョブリョ) which translates into Japanese as "ape" (猿, saru).

Dēmushu

Dēmushu (デェムシュ) is a brute of an Over Lord Inves in crimson (真紅, shinku) armor who enjoys fighting and is prone to anger, seeing humans as weak apes that deserve death by someone as strong as himself. Dēmushu is armed with Sheimu (シェイム), a nagamaki-like weapon with a straight blade, using its sword form for melee combat, and has the ability to summon Helheim plant vines which used to entrap enemies as a staff. Dēmushu is also capable of firing shockwave projectiles from his hand, and his greatest ability is to dissolve into a gelatinous mass capable of deflecting attacks easily, while retaining formidable offensive power. Dēmushu is the first of the Over Lords to be sighted in Helheim Forest, encountering Kaito when he is sent to find him by Ryoma. Dēmushu attempts to converse with Kaito by consulting a dictionary, but ultimately fights him while frustrated over an initial inability to communicate and overpowers Baron Mango Arms. Despite appearing to be much of a brute without much brains, by the time Baron gets the Genesis Driver, Dēmushu also masters enough of the Japanese language to use vulgarities. Because of the injuries caused by Baron's Sonic Arrow finisher, Dēmushu takes the injury personal to the point of leading an attack on the Yggdrasill scientists to find Baron and kill him. With Gaim Jimber Lemon Arms and Zangetsu Shin unable to subdue the Over Lord, Dēmushu falls back after being painfully called back by Roshuo to be punished for attacking the outsiders. But later, while battling Gaim, Baron, Sigurd, and the new Zangetsu Shin, Dēmushu finds a suddenly opened Crack and invades Earth on his own accord with the intention of wiping out Zawame City from existence for his own personal satisfaction. After increasing his power by eating Helheim fruit and trouncing the combined might of the other Armored Riders, things turn around when Gaim arrives in his new Kiwami Arms and easily defeats and destroys him.

Dēmushu is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita (杉田 智和, Sugita Tomokazu).

Redyue

Redyue (レデュエ) is a feminine and sadistic Over Lord Inves in jade (翡翠, hisui) armor who uses others as her personal play things until she discards them when they are no use to her, having killed off her own parents upon becoming an Over Lord. Until the Armored Riders arrive in Helhiem Forest, having easily learned their language, Redyue lived in boredom and saw them as a means to make things interesting though she initially considered Kouta a boring opponent after letting Dēmushu beat him up. In combat, Redyue uses her Dau (ダウ) spear as a weapon and can ability to emit sounds capable of overloading a target's hearing, and reopen certain Cracks. During Dēmushu's attack, Redyue takes one of the scientists' harvest type Sengoku Drivers and gives it to Roshuo. Later, while feigning defeat, Redyue leads Sid and Mitsuzane to the Forbidden Fruit, the latter having realized that the Over Lord wants the Forbidden Fruit for herself. With Dēmushu's attack on Zawame providing an excuse, turning the Yggdrasill building into a fortress to deploy her forces from, Redyue reveals her intention to become the sole ruler of humanity while offering Mitsuzane a place as her proxy. To do so, she convinces Roshuo to relenquish the Forbidden Fruit by offering the means to revive his queen by using Earth's advanced technology to create a machine powered by human lives. However, Redyue intends to betray Roshuo and take the Forbidden Fruit that he has been safeguarding. But when she finally makes her move when Roshuo leaves himself open during his fight against Kouta and Kaito, Redyue is furious to learn he has already given humanity's Golden Fruit to another and ruthlessly kills him before she is destroyed by Armored Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms displaying his new Over Lord powers.

Redyue is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda (津田 健次郎, Tsuda Kenjirō).

Roshuo

Having endured Helheim Forest when it consumed his world, Roshuo became its king and used the Forbidden Fruit to turn the world into one that reflects his ideals of the strong ruling over the weak. However, as those blessed by the forest slaughter those unable to fight back, Roshuo learned too late that his wish caused a conflict that destroyed the Femushinmu civilization with his beloved, the Femushinmu Maiden of Fate, among the casualties. Expressing a disgust for conflict, Roshuo uses his godly psychic power to keep the remaining Over Lords in check. Roshuo also observes the Yggdrasill Corporation's research team with an interest into their development of technology to use a Lockseed's power without becoming Inves. After saving Takatora, Roshuo reveals his story to him while deeming humans to be no different from his people, and revealing to have been keeping the Forbidden Fruit meant for humanity. Though possession of multiple Forbidden Fruits is against Helheim Forest's laws, Roshuo sees no reason to give it to humanity as he would do anything to revive his beloved and believes the second Forbidden Fruit would allow it. But Sagara's words to give humans a second chance convinces Roshuo to create a special key-like Lockseed from a fragment of the Forbidden Fruit that he entrusts to Sagara in hopes that his judgment over the humans is correct. Despite this, Roshuo promises Redyue the Forbidden Fruit if she can bring back his beloved. Unlike the other Over Lords, Roshuo is seemingly benevolent and does not see humans, despite being powerless, as lesser beings to toy with. Roshuo's heightened intelligence also allows him to learn the Japanese language quickly, and even achieving proficiency to not only converse fluently, but also speak in a manner befitting his status, power, and experience. With the power of two Forbidden Fruits in his possession, with the Joeshuimu (ジョエシュイム) sword as his weapon, Roshuo displays a god-like form of telekinesis that he uses in punishing Dēmushu, killing Sid, and deposing of armed missiles. During the end of the Over Lords' invasion of Zawame, Roshuo meets Mai and decides to make her humanity's Maiden of Fate after she eases his regret and convinces him that humanity is not as bad as he initially believed. During the fight with Gaim and Baron, Roshuo recognizes Kouta's determination before being killed by Redyue when she finally makes her move, but this ultimately reveals that he has given the Golden Fruit to someone else.

Dyudyuonshu is sent to help Mitsuzane when he goes after Kouta, the youth believing the Over Lord is sent to keep an eye on him. Dyudyuonshu easily defeats Marika and holds Gaim Jimber Lemon Arms before he equips Kachidoki Arms, overwhelming the Over Lord until he is aided by Mitsuzane as Zangetsu Shin. But once Bravo reveals to Gaim that Zangetsu Shin is not Takatora, Gaim uses Kiwami Arms and overpowers his opponents before using an Ichigo Power charged blast from the Hinawadaidai-DJ-ju to destroy Dyudyuonshu, with Zangetsu Shin using the Over Lord as a shield to escape the blast.

Dyudyuonshu is voiced by Yōji Ueda (上田 燿司, Ueda Yōji).

Gurinsha

Though saved by Redyue while Gaim Kiwami Arms before fighting without restraint, Gurinsha is destroyed when Baron holds him so Gaim can blast him with his Hinawadaidai-DJ-ju.

When one of Ryoma's experiments goes awry, Kogane awakens and kills Ryoma, then takes the form of a middle-aged man and creates a Locust Monster to either possess a human host for its revival or infects humans into a mindless monsters via small locusts. Because of its existence on Earth, it causes most of the Armored Riders to turn against each other to search for the Golden Fruit. Kogane decides to masquerade as Yuya Sumii to get close to Kouta to try to manipulate him. When it identity is revealed, it reveals that it possesses a Sengoku Driver and the Golden Ringo Lockseed (金のリンゴロックシード, Kin no Ringo Rokkushīdo), which it uses to transform into Kamen Rider Mars Golden Arms (仮面ライダーマルス ゴールデンアームズ, Kamen Raidā Marusu Gōruden Āmuzu),^{[lower-alpha 17]} armed with the Apple Reflector (アップルリフレクター, Appuru Rifūrekutā) shield and the Sword Bringer (ソードブリンガー, Sōdo Buringā). It defeats Kouta, brainwashing him to become his liege Kamen Rider Gaim Yami in order to hunt down Lapis. However, it is unaware that Lapis is already within Kouta's mind trying to free him of Kogane's control. The combined forces of Lapis and Armored Riders Baron, Ryugen, and Marika manage to free Kouta so it can fight back against Kamen Rider Mars, even as it uses its flaming horse to become more powerful. It is the combined forces of all of the Armored Riders (minus Duke and Sigurd), including Lapis as Kamen Rider Kamuro, to finally defeat Kamen Rider Mars to return everything back to normal.

Somehow, time is distorted once more when Kogane appears through a time rift seven months after the Helheim Forest plants and Inves have been entirely removed from the Earth. It possesses a teenage girl at a dance stage after Mitsuzane's refusal from the Beat Riders' offer to go back with them, in order to seek out the remaining Armored Riders in act of revenge, using a new Sengoku Driver and the new Black Ringo Lockseed (黒のリンゴロックシード, Kuro no Ringo Rokkushīdo), which it uses to transform into Kamen Rider Jam Darkness Arms (仮面ライダー邪武 ダークネスアームズ, Kamen Raidā Jamu Dākunesu Āmuzu),^{[lower-alpha 18]} armed with a purple version of the Daidaimaru named the Dark Daidaimaru (ダーク大橙丸, Dāku Daidaimaru), with a Musou Saber as a side weapon. After defeating Jonouchi as a Kurokage Trooper, Jam then fights against Mitsuzane as Ryugen. However, it is cornered in the fight and uses the human body it is using as leverage, leaving Mitsuzane conflicted. However, Kouta returns to the Earth and forces Kogane out of the girl's body as it is defeated again by Ryugen and Gaim Kiwami Arms. In the end, the girl Kogane used as a host is seen teaching children about the sacred tree and dancing.

Locust Monster

The Locust Monster (イナゴ怪人, Inago Kaijin) is a monster created by Kogane from fusing a swarm of locusts into one through the power of the Golden Fruit. It has the ability to swarm into multiple flying insects, such as infects other people into a mindless monster or finding a suitable host for its master. The monster first appeared while Kouta searches for the Kureshima brothers. Kouta fought the monster briefly, before it escapes into the alternate world, where he fights Kaito. Then he escapes and returns to the mainstream world, where he fights Gaim again. However, after being blasted by Gaim's Musou Saber, he escapes through a crack to the alternate world. He soon appears again after Team Baron defeated Team Charmant in a soccer battle. However, he fought Baron once again. The monster soon met his end when Baron Lemon Energy Arms used Lemon Energy to trap the monster before finishing him using his Cavaliend Rider Kick.

Another Locust Monster appears at the Charmant under the control of Armored Rider Jam, prompting the powerless Armored Riders to try and hold it off to no avail. Jonouchi later battles the monster as Armored Rider Kurokage, but is defeated by the monster, and the final mass-produced Sengoku Driver is destroyed by Armored Rider Jam. Mitsuzane then battles the two as Armored Rider Ryugen, and once again appears to have the upperhand until both the Locust Monster and Armored Rider Jam fight dirty. The Locust Monster is ultimately destroyed when a projection of the Golden Apple envelops it, soon revealed to be Kouta returning to Earth to help Mitsuzane battle Armored Rider Jam.

Lapis

He has a special bracelet that he uses to escape to the Earth before Helheim Forest was taken over by the Forbidden Fruit. However, he is unaware that the bracelet possessed an evil entity created by another Over Lord, and this would eventually become Kogane, which would be sealed with him within a slab left behind by the other Over Lords. Lapis would eventually grow tired of all of the bloodshed and fighting he experienced on Earth, so he used his powers to create an alternate dimension where instead of bloody battles people played soccer after a chance meeting with Kouta who found him shortly after having seen his people kill each other. While Ryoma is recording his examination of the slab, it explodes and both Lapis and Kogane escape into the human world. Ryoma becomes the first victim of Kogane's plague while he tries to fight it, while Lapis steals a Sengoku Driver, unaware that he was caught on Ryoma's recording of the event. This leads the Armored Riders to believe he is the one responsible for the bloodshed that results between everyone. However, DJ Sagara informs them of what has actually happened to Kouta as a result of Kogane and Lapis is innocent. Lapis's powers allow him to bring back both Ryoji Hase and Sid to life. However, when Kogane begins to corrupt Kouta and turn him into the evil Gaim Yami, Lapis uses his powers to enter Kouta's mind to reveal his past to him and free him of Kogane's control. He later produces a magical horse for Kamen Rider Gaim to ride when fighting Kamen Rider Mars. Before the final battle against Kamen Rider Mars, DJ Sagara gives Lapis the Silver Ringo Lockseed (銀のリンゴロックシード, Gin no Ringo Rokkushīdo), allowing him to transform into Kamen Rider Kamuro Silver Arms (仮面ライダー冠（カムロ） シルバーアームズ, Kamen Raidā Kamuro Shirubā Āmuzu),^{[lower-alpha 19]} armed with the Sōginjō (蒼銀杖) staff.^{[lower-alpha 20]} Once Kamen Rider Mars is finally defeated, Lapis disappears and the world returns to as it was.
