* ChildhoodFriend: With Houtaro, even [[ChildhoodMarriagePromise promising that she'd marry him one day]].

[[folder:Tamami Ichinose]]
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Yoko Minamino
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krgot_tamami_8.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:]]

Houtaro's mother and the proprietress of Kitchen Ichinose, a ''teishoku'' restaurant that specializes in bentos.

* ActorAllusion: She's gone to meet up with some high school friends in #20, due to them being part of the Yo-yo Research Club, referencing her role in the ''Sukeban Deka'' film.
* GoodParents: Is shown to be nothing less than a loving and supportive mother to Houtaro.
* MirrorCharacter: To Kyoka. Both are mother figures towards Houtaro/Supana, with Tamami having a restaurant and Kyoka is a mechanic in the Alchemists' Academy. Tamami is Houtaro's birth mother and Kyoka is [[spoiler: a ParentalSubstitute for Supana after his parents died.]] Tamami acts like an unofficial TeamMom for Houtaro and his friends, while Kyoka mostly interacts with Supana. Lastly, Tamami is an excellent cook while it's Supana who cooks for Kyoka.
* NiceGirl: Aside from being a loving mom to Houtaro, she also welcomes Rinne when she asks for a meal in #4.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Is gone from the events of #20 and #21, just as it focuses on Supana's past and heartbreaking despair.

[[folder:Mr. Ichinose]]

Houtarou's father.

* TheFaceless: A photo of the Ichinoses has [[PlotBasedPhotographObfuscation his face blocked by a business card or conveniently blurred out]].
* TheGhost: Is mostly mentioned in passing, with the closest to an appearance is a photo of the Ichinoses that coincidentally has his face covered.
* NoNameGiven: He hasn't been named so far.

[[folder:Ryo Kajiki]]
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Amon Kabe
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krgot_ryo.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:]]

Houtarou's best friend and a fan of the occult.

* AmbiguousSituation: In #9, Kajiki asks if he has seen [=Hopper1=] before when it's shown that the two haven't interacted so far. But given how #14 has shown ''Hotaro'' befriending the Chemy when they were younger, does this also means Kajiki also has an association with the Chemies but also had his memories wiped?
* AmbiguouslyBi: While he gets along with Hijiri, he becomes very enthusiastic to play the Juliet to Hotaro's Romeo in #30.
* BadassBystander: He gets involved with the Battery Malgam/Hijiri fight against Gotchard despite not knowing what's going on.
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** He becomes close to Hijiri as they both had a supernatural phenomena which they wrote to the same magazine.
** In #15, he becomes friends with Sabimaru after he brings up a theory that Santa is an alien.
* CowardlyLion: In #10, despite being clearly terrified, he willingly risks his life rushing into the lighting blasts of a berserk Hijiri [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight in order to try and talk her down]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: #9-10 primarily focus on him.
* EurekaMoment: In #10, Gotchard telling him about seeing Hijiri (as the Battery Malgam) is a "fated encounter" makes him realize that Hotaro is Gotchard. Too bad he forgets it.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In #9, he has a vague sense of remembering seeing [=Hopper1=] before, just a few episodes prior to the reveal that his best friend ''also'' has met [=Hopper1=] in the past.
* {{Irony}}:
** Is into the supernatural, yet freaks out at a haunted house.
** Ends up having Chemies migrate toward him, yet he's unable to report it due to constant memory wipes.
** The ''one time'' he ends up being useful in regards to UFO-X, he ends up knocked unconscious.
* NerdGlasses: He's basically your quintessential nerd, and appropriately dons a pair of large glasses.
* SpannerInTheWorks: He's the one who leads Hotarou to becoming a Kamen Rider when he brings up the rumor of a giant monster, which happened to be [=Hopper1=].
* ThrowTheDogABone: Even though he got his memories wiped at the end of #10, he's allowed half an hour of time with Hijiri and reunites with her some time later.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Chemies somehow tend to congregate near and around him despite having nothing to do with the Alchemists' Academy or the Malgams.

[[folder:Koichiro Asahi]]
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Masanori Machida (live), Yasuhiro Takeuchi (stunt double as Asahi G)

A retired pro masked wrestler who used to fight under the name "Sunshine Mask" and now manages a wrestling gym targeted by the Yakuza. He forms a bond with the Chemy Wrestler G after it appears to him while possessing a wrestler action figure.

* BoisterousBruiser: He's loud, cheerful, and was quite a wrestler in his day, but his body can't handle the strenuous demands of the ring anymore. That being said, when we first meet him he comes barreling out of his office with a stick thinking the alchemy kids were Yakuza and was ready to throw hands for his gym. After he fuses with Wrestler G he becomes Asahi G, which endows him with great physical power and returns him to his prime physique.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Not only is he as macho as a wrestler can get, but he cares ''deeply'' about the well-being of others.
* ColorMotifs: Red and yellow, which reflect his cosmic motif being the sun. Both of these colors are seen in his mask and logo of his gym.
* CoolMask: He had a gold-and-red sparkling wrestling mask as Sunshine Mask. He wears a teal and red one as Asahi G.
* CoolOldGuy: He's a retired wrestler who dreams of training the next generation of young wrestlers and is a pretty chill broski to boot.
* CosmicMotifs: The sun. His wrestler name was ''Sun''shine Mask, and the logo of his wrestling gym has a sun. It represents how he wishes to burn bright and shine a light towards the next generation.
* ShooTheDog: Does this towards Wrestler G by telling it that it belongs to Hotaro now, knowing that he's going to have his memories erased and so long as the Chemy is with him, the Dark Sisters will always go after him.
* SymbioticPossession: He's the first human on-screen to be possessed by a Chemy, and the first to [[FusionDance fuse with a Chemy]] without turning into a Malgam -- in this case, Asahi G, a muscular wrestler with Wrestler G's mask.
* TryingNotToCry: As he tells Wrestler G to stay with Hotaro, he's shown looking ready to burst into tears as he walks into his gym.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: He's a retired masked wrestler who now manages a wrestling gym. Thanks to the help of Wrestler G, he also becomes Asahi G.

[[folder:Riku Sunayama]]
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Minato Shogaki

A young boy who formed a bond with the Chemy Saboneedle.

* {{Foil}}: To Rinne. Both are brainy students who put socializing into their backburner and are a bit cold to Hotaro at first before warming up to him. Both also have daddy issues, but the latter is where they contrast. Rinne is separated from her father, with her misjudging his actions of freeing Chemies due to it conflicting with her view, while Riku has his father being a helicopter parent, of which he opposes his father putting pressure on him particularly after befriending a Chemy.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Replace him and Saboneedle with Hotaro and [=Hopper1=] and you essentially get TheReveal of Episodes 14 and 18.
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: His intellect led his father to put him under a rigorous educational regimen, leaving him with no time to socialize. Finding Saboneedle allowed him to finally make a friend.
* MirrorCharacter:
** To Hotaro, obviously. Hotaro is a BookDumb high school student, Riku is a Year 5 student currently studying high school level Geometry. They both bond with an adorable green Chemy, [=Hopper1=] for Hotaro and Saboneedle for Riku as well. Their home lives are polar opposites as well: Hotaro's dad left them one day while his mom is loving and supportive of his "Gotcha". Meanwhile, Riku's mom is nowhere to be seen and his father is strict, abusive, ''and turns into a monster'' just because Riku found a buddy.
** To Koichiro Asahi as well. Again, both Riku and Koichiro befriended a green colored Chemy but were forced to say farewell to them. Unfortunately, Asahi was not allowed to keep any souvenirs from Werestler G, while Riku obtained one of Saboneedle's flowers. Asahi was a retired wrestler hoping to rebuild his dream, Riku was a lonely boy who only wanted a friend.
* MissingMom: It's mentioned that his father Kenji is the only family he has.
* PlotParallel: The ending of #8 is essentially foreshadowing about Hotaro's past a few episodes later.

[[folder:Hijiri Himeno/Battery Malgam (II)]]
!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Ayane Kinoshita (live), Shinsuke Kusano (suit)

A cast member of the Toei Studio Park in Kyoto, and Kajiki's love interest. She later becomes the second Battery Malgam.

* AlliterativeName: '''Hi'''jiri '''Hi'''meno.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Bonds with Ryo because they're both into supernatural phenomena and even posted letters to the same magazine.
* BreakTheCutie: She does ''not'' take the news of her brother wanting to kill her lightly.
* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: Compared to the previous Malgams, she only turned into one out of despair in learning of her brother's crimes and never had any lingering malice prior.
* TheGhost: Referenced in #11 by Kajiki who hopes to tell her about UFO-X passing by.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: After seeing [[SiblingMurder her own brother just attempt to kill her]], she decides to return the favor.
* SuperiorSuccessor: She appears to utilize the Battery Malgam's abilities better than Tsurugi; while he only displayed paralyzing his foes and firing electricity from his hands, Hijiri manages to create [[AttackDrones multiple orbs]] of electricity that fire lightning bolts.
* TokenGoodTeammate: While not exactly a "team", by any means, Hijiri is by ''far'' the nicest of the Malgam Hosts to ever show up in the first arc, as while most of them are complete HateSink[=s=], her NiceGirl nature and BreakTheCutie moments completely draw in ''much more'' sympathy than the others could ever hope to acquire.

[[folder:Sawa Manabe]]
!!!'''Portrayed by''': Kaho Yamamoto

A girl searching for her father Yuzuru after he disappeared while looking for dinosaurs.

* BrokenPedestal: She's understandably disappointed when she finds her father begging to do anything to keep his job to the point of giving up on his dream. Thankfully, after Yuzuru encounters X-Rex and the two have a heart-to-heart, [[RebuiltPedestal Sawa's respect for her father returns]].
* DaddysGirl: She's very close to her father to the point where she wants to help him look for dinosaurs for his stories.

[[folder:Yuzuru Manabe]]
!!!'''Portrayed by''': Tomoya Shiraishi

Sawa's father, a freelance writer and photographer whose dream is to write about dinosaurs surviving into the present day.

* AintTooProudToBeg: He grovels twice within the story. First is in a flashback where he begs to keep his job with his current magazine to the point where he'd give up writing about dinosaurs. The second time is when Lachesis threatens Sawa, offering to give himself up just to make sure his daughter isn't hurt.
* ParentsAsPeople: Yuzuru is torn between trying to achieve his dream of encountering a dinosaur in the wild and putting food on the table. Sawa inadvertently finding him while he attempted to sacrifice his dream for financial stability soured her opinion on him, though it's easily rectified.
* SwallowedWhole: He gets swallowed up by X-Rex. Fortunately, all it does is strand him in X-Rex's pocket dimension, where the Chemy reads his memories and allows Yuzuru to come to terms with himself.

[[folder:Yua Yamashita]]
!!!'''Portrayed by''': Aya Kitai

A young woman who became Zukyumpire's first follower after he helps her get over a breakup.

* AlliterativeName: '''Y'''ua '''Y'''amashita.
* ChekhovsGun: She was the one who was about to collapse in #22 with Zyukumpire showing concern for her.
* FlowersOfRomance: Downplayed. Zukyumpire hands her a small yellow flower as a way to cheer her up but there's no romantic connotations between them.
* GrewASpine: Her time with Zukyumpire helps her stand up against her ex-boyfriend who dumped her.
* MirrorCharacter: To Koichiro Asahi. Both unwittingly end up bonding with a Chemy -- Wrestler G for Asahi, Zukyumpire for her -- as they helped them in the lowest parts of their lives. Asahi was broken from losing prospective students to his wrestling school, Yua was saddened after breaking up with her boyfriend. They were also inspired thanks to their brief interactions with the Chemies as Asahi finds hope to pursue his dream while Yua found the courage to find her own happiness. Asahi gets to fuse with Wrestler G, whereas Yua doesn't. Last, Asahi was forced to have his memories erased but Yua gets to keep hers.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: She falls for Zukyumpire after he helps her get over her breakup with an abusive boyfriend. After she helps Zukyumpire realize the error of his ways, she takes the lessons to her heart, choosing to reject her ex's overture to rekindle their relationship, finding her own happiness in her own way.
* TragicKeepsake: She has a bookmark with a bright yellow flower, similar to the one Zyukumpire gave her.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The fact that the first person Zukyumpire encounters is a young woman fresh off of a bad breakup, who even tells him that he has the power to "save the world" by making her smile with a Zukyun, means that Zukyun decides to help her out by giving ''everyone'' in the world love, even if it comes at the cost of the LifeEnergy of his followers. She realizes her mistake when told about it, but didn't have the heart to tell him because he was so happy.
* WomanScorned: She becomes Zukyumpire's first follower after he helps her deal with a bad breakup.

[[folder:Kamen Rider Gotchard Daybreak '''(spoilers)''']]
!!Houtaro Ichinose (Future)/Kamen Rider Gotchard Daybreak
!!!'''Portrayed by''': DAIGO (voice), Kōsuke Asai (suit)
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krgo_firegotcharddaybreaksteamhopper.png]]
[[caption-width-right:210:''Gotchanko Fire! Steamhopper! Achi~!'']]

A mysterious Rider who joined the fray after Geryon became unsealed, and wields empowered "Daybreak" versions of all 100 basic Chemies. It is later revealed that he is Houtaro from a future where Geryon won and took over half the planet.
----
* TwentyFourHourArmor: He stays in Gotchard Daybreak to avoid physically touching the present Houtaro, as Daybreak Timelord is injured [[NeverTheSelvesShallMeet every time its user touches their counterpart]].
* TheAce: Compared to Houtaro, this Gotchard is far more experienced in combat and use of Chemies.
* AdvertisedExtra: Has the most real estate on the poster for the second part of the show, but two episodes after it was revealed, [[spoiler:he departs and is never heard from again]].
* AmbiguousSituation: He is clearly ''not'' from this world in some aspect. Daybreak [=Hopper1=] has been his partner for quite some time, yet Houtaro is the only known partner of the original. He uses the Gotcharigniter even though the only one the Academy should have is still under construction, and it is explicitly stated Gotchard Daybreak's armor is aged. #18 reveals he's Houtaro's future self. Him enabling present-day Houtaro to create his own Gotcharigniter causes the Gotchard Daybreak future to become an alternate future.
* BadassCape: In his Fire Gotchard form, his ScarfOfAsskicking flares out to become a flame-themed cape.
* BadFuture: He's the Hotarou who came from a future where [[TheBadGuyWins Geryon won]] and took over half the planet.
* BlueAndOrangeContrast: It's primarily orange where the normal Gotchard is blue.
* CharacterCatchphrase: "You have two choices. You can [X], or you can [Y]." Like challenging Hotaro "You can let me handle this, or you can take control of your own fate"; or telling a Malgam "You can let those people go, or you can die by my hand."
* DareToBeBadass: He challenges Hotaro to be stronger and control his own fate. This is because he wants Houtaro to avert the BadFuture he's from.
* TheFaceless: We never see what he looks like beneath the helm.
* FutureBadass: Gotchard Daybreak is Houtaro from a BadFuture, and ''far'' stronger than him, with all 100 Daybreak Chemies.
* FinishingMove:
** [=GotcharDriver=]: Like the normal Gotchard (his younger self), Gotchard Daybreak have finishers known as '''Fever'''s'', except they are propelled by his experience.
*** '''Steamhopper Burning Fever''': Gotchard Daybreak pushes and opens the Altvoke Levers, turning into Wild Mode, his mantle charging with flames, as he performs a powerful flaming kick.
** [=Gotcharge Gun=]
*** '''Gotcharge Buster''':
*** '''Bulletbaang''' (Daybreak Version): Gotchard Daybreak fires flame-enhanced bullets.
*** '''Skebows''' (Daybreak Version): Gotchard Daybreak summons Skebows to ram into enemies.
*** '''Junglejan''' (Daybreak Version) + '''Raidenji''' (Daybreak Version): Using two Gotcharge Guns, Gotchard Daybreaks fires two blasts that then form a wrestling ring.
** [=Gotchartornado=]
*** '''Chemy Slash''':
*** '''Apparebushido''' (Daybreak Version): Gotchard Daybreak sends a powerful flame slash attack.
*** '''Tornado Arrow''':
*** '''Mechanichani''' (Daybreak Version): Gotchard Daybreak fires an energy arrow that takes the form of Mechanichani's claws and fires lasers from both claws.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: His parts list all but indicates he's been Gotchard Daybreak for a ''very'' long time, long enough to capture all 100 Daybreak Chemies and have his armor grow stronger from age and combat experience. He's a future version of Houtaro, who has been fighting Geryon for ten years.
* InconsistentSpelling: Spelled "Daybreak" on the official website, but "Daybrake" in an official magazine.
* {{Irony}}: This version of Gotchard has a much more vibrant color scheme than the normal version, yet he's the more level-headed and demure of the pair.
* LastNameBasis: In #17, he calls Rinne by her last name before correcting himself. As he's Houtaro's future self, it's not surprising that he corrects himself to avoid outing his own identity.
* MeaningfulName: This Rider is from a different world and is colored like a sunrise; his existence begins at the dawn of a new era.
* MysteriousProtector: He first arrives just in time to save Houtaro from the Orochi Malgam, and drops cryptic advice to the young alchemist Rider whenever they interact.
* OlderAndWiser: Daybreak is a seasoned veteran compared to the normal Gotchard, who's still very much a rookie. Justified since he ''is'' an older Houtaro.
* PaletteSwap: Gotchard Daybreak is an inversion of Gotchard Steamhopper, inverting the blue and orange parts while his Gotchardriver is red instead of orange.
* PlayingWithFire: He and his Chemies are all flame-enhanced, and he can activate a powerup explicitly called "Fire Gotchard".
* ThePowerOfTheSun: More symbolic than literal, but the fact that he has fire-based powers that carry the title "Daybreak" invokes sun imagery.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: He's Hotaro from a BadFuture, trying to change the past to prevent it. It's implied he's at least somewhat succeeded in 18, as his past self creating his own Gotcharigniter diverged the future to at least a degree.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Hotaro learns the identity of this mysterious savior through one word: "Gotcha".
* SwordAndGun: This Rider wields both the Gotcharge Gun and Gotchatornado at the same time, whereas the regular Gotchard only used them individually.
* TimeTravel: #18 confirms he is able to travel through time through ambiguous use of Daybreak Timelord's abilities.
%% Do not add VirtuousCharacterCopy, because Gotchard Daybreak is not a "Character Copy" (except maybe of normal Gotchard, who is already Virtuous). Gotchard Daybreak may have similarities to evil Riders, but he needs to be a full-fledged knockoff to qualify for the trope.

[[folder:Tamiko Misono]]
!!!'''Portrayed by''': Toshie Negishi

Renge's maternal grandmother who resides in the village of Kokonotsu.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: How much did she recall about Renge using the Cosmic Chemies? On one hand, the Alchemist' Academy could've wiped her memories off-screen. On the ''other'', given that Renge was wearing Starshine's "necklace" which contained the Cosmic Chemies, she might've assumed Renge was using some sort of banishing ritual on a youkai who was actually the local deity she worshipped..
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her reaction to Renge visiting her is to swat away a mosquito and to insist on carrying her granddaughter around, showing how much she dotes on Renge.
* MamaBear: Instantly leaps to her granddaughter's defense at the first sign of danger, be it from suspicious strangers or Malgam.
* StrongerThanTheyLook: She's strong enough to give Renge a piggyback ride and help carry her stuff all the way from the shrine to her home without breaking a sweat, despite being a seemingly ordinary senior citizen.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Starshine Hoshino]]
!!!'''Portrayed by''': Takaya Aoyagi

A self-proclaimed "Yokai Hunter" from Kokonotsu.
----
* ActorAllusion: When Starshine does his yokai-repelling rituals, a couple of Cosmic Chemies show up from his beads. Starshine's actor has plenty of experience with cosmic beings, including the space-based [[Franchise/UltraSeries Ultramen]], being a regular in both ''Series/UltramanOrb'' and ''Series/UltramanZ''.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane Whatever his premonition was supposed to be]], it [[ProphecyTwist ended up referring to]] a hidden hot spring that the fox spirit wanted to use the Cosmic Chemies' power for in order to save the village.
* IneptMage: He is legitimately spiritually attuned, helped by the fact that magic exists in the setting to some degree, but he's incredibly lazy, and unable to endure even the most basic forms of monk training such as mild fasting. Even when aided by the Cosmic Chemies, creating very weak fireballs and obnoxiously glitzy light shows (which have a tendency to blind him) is the most he can do with these extremely powerful alchemic beings.
* NaturalElements: Whenever he uses his powers, he invokes four of the five elements in Eastern tradition (water, earth, metal, and wood). When Firemars later joins him he gains the ability to invoke all five of them.
* SheepInSheepsClothing: Due to the fact that his "powers" are from using Chemies, and he comes to Renge's village around the same time that it's being harassed by land sharks, it's easy for viewers to believe that he's scamming the people in it for the crooks. This isn't helped by Kajiki loudly pointing that out as the Kyubi Malgam's attacks are causing growing unrest among the populace. However, when he becomes a victim of the same, it transpires that Hoshino is a genuinely well-meaning, if buffoonish, mystic. Notably, despite being lavished with praise for chasing away supposed yokai (actually a pair of Chemies), he's rather humble about it, and encourages the villagers to pay homage to their local fox deity as well.

[[folder:Seina Tsukumo]]
!!!'''Portrayed by''': Kanon Matsuzawa\\
'''Young Seina portrayed by:''' Yuzu Yumoto

A new transfer student to Furasu High, and Houtaro's childhood friend.
----

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Seina is clearly pursuing this with Houtaro, complete with her reminding him of their ChildhoodMarriagePromise and her insistence of playing the Juliet to Houtaro's Romeo. When they're first reunited, she even calls it ''fate''. This is also the reason why [[ClingyJealousGirl she's very jealous of Rinne]]. In the end however, the trope is subverted at the end of episode 31, with Seina lending the Juliet role to Rinne, and it's also implied that she gives up on pursuing Houtaro altogether.

* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Seina recalls that Tamami promised Seina to be Houtaro's betrothed as a child. Houtaro quickly dismisses this, saying that they're still just children back then.

* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Rinne's Veronica, as the childhood friend to Hotaro.

* ActorAllusion: When Starshine does his yokai-repelling rituals, a couple of Cosmic Chemies show up from his beads. Starshine's actor has plenty of experience with cosmic beings, what with his work in ''Series/UltramanOrb'' as that show's primary antagonist.

* MirrorCharacter: To Koichiro Asahi. Both unwittingly end up bonding with a Chemy -- Wrestler G for Asahi, Zukyumpire for her -- as they helped them in the lowest parts of their lives. Asahi was broken from losing prospective students to his wrestling school, Yua was saddened after breaking up with her boyfriend. They were also inspired thanks to their brief interactions as Asahi finds hope to pursue his dream while Yua found the courage to find her own happiness. Last, Asahi was forced to have his memories erased but Yua gets to keep hers [[spoiler:because Minato has (supposedly) pulled a FaceHeelTurn.]]

* ChildhoodFriend: With Houtaro.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: She chooses to give up her role as Juliet to Rinne (after Rinne initially subs in for the role while Seina recovered) after seeing the chemistry Rinne has built with Houtaro.

* AmbiguousSituation: He is clearly ''not'' from this world in some aspect. Daybreak [=Hopper1=] has been his partner for quite some time, yet Houtaro is the only known partner of the original. He uses the Gotcharigniter even though the only one the Academy should have is still under construction, and it is explicitly stated Gotchard Daybreak's armor is aged. In the same episode where he debuts, Ninetail is revealed to be a DimensionalTraveler, on top of Legend having previously manipulated the AR Worlds for his powers. The question of his origins, as a result, mainly lies in two major possibilities: he's someone from the future, from a parallel universe, or some combination of the two. #18 reveals he's Houtaro's future self. Him enabling present-day Houtaro to create his own Gotcharigniter causes the Gotchard Daybreak future to become an alternate future.

* HumanPopsicle: She gets frozen by the Mammoth Malgam after Atropos catches her fleeing away from it, binding her in chains to allow the Malgam to freeze her.

In the same episode where he debuts, Ninetail is revealed to be a DimensionalTraveler, on top of Legend having previously manipulated the AR Worlds for his powers. The question of his origins, as a result, mainly lies in two major possibilities: he's someone from the future, from a parallel universe, or some combination of the two. [[spoiler:#18 reveals he's Houtaro's future self. Him enabling present-day Houtaro to create his own Gotcharigniter causes the Gotchard Daybreak future to become an alternate future.]]
