History Characters / KamenRiderGaim

* [[spoiler:HumanShield: Well, Inves Shield. Zangetsu Shin uses him as this in #33 to escape Gaim's finisher; the Overlord himself dies as a result.]]

* LightningBruiser: He hits hard, moves fast, and can tank some serious damage.

* ObliviouslyEvil: Oren doesn't seem to get that his campaign to stop those punk kids makes him engage in crimes like intimidation, threats, malicious slander, and assault.

* PsychoForHire: He becomes Takatora's psycho, to be exact.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: See above. His failure to keep on top of current events plus the tendency of major characters to get ever-stronger powerups means nothing good for him.

* TheWorfEffect: He has actual combat training and the most raw power out of any of the non-Yggdrasil Riders, but then Zangetsu hands him his ass in #11 (not in the way he probably would have preferred, but still) to show much even Oren's outclassed by him. Since then he's become the show's designated punching bag to show how Kouta and Kaito make a good team when they have a reason to fight on the same side, or how Kouta's Jimber Arms stack up against the ordinary Armored Riders. As of #25 his descent into pure comic relief seems complete.

* [[spoiler:{{Satan}}/{{TheAntichrist}}: Has some traits of this.]]

** As of #32, she can be compared to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rider]], since both of them switched their loyalties to another Armored Rider/Master

* [[spoiler:TheSadist: Micchy takes ''way'' too much joy in trying to kill Kouta. In #33, he even shoves the Inves who's helping him aside just so he could get in some more hits.]]

* TheCynic

* [[spoiler:HiddenDepths: Takatora is apparently found and patched up by Roshuo and tells him about the former inhabitants of Helheim.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:His killing of Sid fulfills this trope while at the same time showing that GoodIsNotNice in his standards. To ensure the audience doesn't get ''too'' attached to him and believe he's a good guy, he shows that he's cool with Redyue and Deemushu attacking Zawame]].

* DisproportionateRetribution: This basically sums up Micchy's entire grudge towards Kouta. Micchy becomes increasingly angry with Kouta when he doesn't go along with his manipulations, even though Kouta is heroically saving lives and clearly isn't doing so to spite Micchy.

** [[spoiler: Then he joins with a rogue Overlord and personally leads the invasion of Earth.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: Though he claims his actions are for the benefit of his friends' happiness, it becomes clear from all the lies and deception that Micchy doesn't really respect them as individuals and only cares about the emotional reward that their relationships with him provide. [[spoiler:When Kouta and Takatora (his best friend and brother, respectively) both anger him, Micchy turns on them with almost no hesitation, to the point that he stands by and lets the latter be nearly killed and tries to kill the former himself.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: Even though Micchy justifies his descent into villainy with his desire to protect his friends, it becomes increasingly clear that he doesn't really care about their feelings or desires. He instead tries to control them behind their backs and gets mad when they don't go along with his scheming, since he's convinced that only he knows what's best for them. [[spoiler:His anger and frustration leads him to become much more dangerous as time goes on: he's now trying to outright kill Kouta out of jealousy, he threatened innocent people with Inves when Mai was trying to spread information about Helheim to save lives, and he stood by and did nothing while his brother was apparently murdered.]]

* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: He starts with implied threats to Sid and grows from there.

!![[spoiler:Dyudyuonshu]]

** [[spoiler: NeutralNoLonger: Micchy has finally decided what side he wants to be on. [[TheDarkSide Yggdrasil's side.]]]]

* VillainDecay: Bravo started out as a major antagonist, rivaling Zangetsu as the strongest Rider of the series. But as the threats ramped up, Bravo... just stayed the same. He's still stuck on bullying children because nobody's told him otherwise about the situation. He's still pretty badass against normal Inves though.

** Also a more villainous version of [[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica Oriko Mikuni]].

** Her role as Micchy's {{Evil Counterpart}} and Ryoma's [[TheDragon Dragon]] makes her similar to [[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica Kirika Kure]].

* FallenHero

** [[spoiler: As of #32, she can be compared to [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Rider]], since both of them switched their loyalty to another Armored Rider/Master.]]

** [[spoiler: NeutralNoLonger: Micchy has finally decided what side he wants to be on. [[FallenHero Yggdrasil's side.]]]]

* {{Sadist}}: It becomes obvious that Deemushu likes the "hurting people" part of combat much, much than the "fighting people" part.

* AllYourBaseBelongsToUs: In #32 Redyue [[spoiler: has Helheim infect Yggdrasill tower turning it into the Overlords main base of operations on Earth.]]

* EvilLaugh

* HotBlooded
* ImplacableMan

* KnightOfCerebus

* OneManArmy

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy
* {{Sadist}}

* TeleportSpam

* EvilLaugh

* PsychopathicManchild: Type C. An intelligent sophisticated being that treats humans like they're her newest toys. Also has traits of Type E, as she seems to see little difference between learning Japanese and seeing a human hurt.

* TookALevelInBadass: Is in the middle of taking one, as [[spoiler:he took the bullet for Kouta and Oren in #25. The level is fully taken in #32, where he fought alongside other Riders against Deemushu and his horde of Inves.]]

** [[spoiler:And again in #31, when he argues to Roshuo that humanity at least deserves a fair chance to obtain the Forbidden Fruit; this convinces Roshuo to create the Kiwame Lockseed from a portion of the Fruit.]]
