Later, Kuuga saves his life from #5 and asks him if he's OK, much to Sugita's surprise. When the rest of the police converge on the battle, Sugita joins Ichijou in convincing their fellow officers to stand down and let Kuuga fight #5 uninterrupted.

When the Mushroom Grongi knocks "#2/the white #4" (Growing Form Kuuga) down, Sugita immediately orders the force to support Kuuga, buying him time to draw the battle away. When Kuuga and a Grongi start fighting after falling into the middle of a police deployment, Sugita calls out not to shoot with Kuuga in being in the line of fire.

* TransformationTrinket: It's eventually revealed that the belts all Grongi wear function nigh-identically to Kuuga's Arcle, fusing with their nervous systems and giving them the ability to transform into powerful combat forms. They're probably the only Kamen Rider monsters where their true forms are their human forms.

!!'''Akira Harada'''
A manga-exclusive character. Harada is a vicious serial killer who got arrested by Ichijou after murdering five women. He escaped shortly after and killed another person before meeting his demise at hands of the Spider Gurongi.
* AxCrazy: He is clealy missing a few screws.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Does this to the women he kills. Harada opens their chests, fills them with gunpowder, and burns them alive, which makes them implode.
* PsychopathicManchild: To him, blowing up people is the same as making fireworks.
* RedRightHand: The left-side of his face is completely burned off.
* SerialKiller: A mix of Visionary and Hedonistic. Killed six people in total.
* StarterVillain: Kuuga never even had the chance to encounter him.
!!'''Shouichi Tsugami[=/=]Kamen Rider Agito II'''
Yes, [[Series/KamenRiderAgito THAT]] Shouichi Tsugami - or rather, an alternate version of him. Unlike the canon version, this one not only keeps his memories, but he's Shouichi from the start.
* AdaptationNameChange: A particularly odd example. [[spoiler: He's still Shouichi Tsugami, but that's his birth name changed from Tetsyua Sawaki to his current name. Presumably because doing so would spoil one of the big twists related to him in his home show]].
* AdaptationOriginConnection: [[spoiler: In ''Agito'', his powers came from the Seed of Agito, which was granted by the Overlord of Light. This version's powers were transferred to him from his sister, who obtained them from the Alter Ring (which was the name of his belt in the TV series proper), which in this continuity is a version of the spirit stone, which turns people into either Gurongi or Agito]][[note]]interestingly, this means that this counterpart has a connection to [[Series/KamenRiderWizard the Cross of Fire]], unlike the TV version[[/note]].
* IdenticalStranger: With the exception of having longer hair, he bears an uncanny resemblence to Yusuke. [[spoiler: To the point that his older sister Yukina mistakes Yusuke for him]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Mentioning his entire name alone kind of spoils one of the main changes to the manga for ''Kuuga'' from the TV Series, [[spoiler: namely that Yusuke isn't the only Kamen Rider in this reality anymore]], not to mention that it's hard to do so without mentioning [[spoiler: that unlike in his home series, he doesn't have amnesia]].
!!'''Yukina Tsugami[=/=]Kamen Rider Agito I'''
The older sister of Shouichi Tsugami.
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler: Not only is she more in control of her powers here, but she is able to use them to defend herself from the Gurongi, and even fights Kuuga - for reasons explained directly below]].
* AdaptationNameChange: [[spoiler: Her last name in ''Agito'' was Sawaki; here, her birth name is Tsugami]].
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to the Rose Gurongi, she ends up fighting Kuuga.
* {{Frameup}}: She's held by the police, suspected of a murder she was framed for, escaping only due to the Gurongi abducting her.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: She's a PosthumousCharacter in ''Series/KamenRiderAgito''. This version appears in the present day, but has her powers transferred to her brother, who becomes the second Agito.
* WalkingSpoiler: Much like [[spoiler: her brother]], it's a bit hard to talk about her [[spoiler: without discussing how different she is from her home series]].

* TheCape: Is one of the straightest examples of this trope in Kamen Rider. He wants to be Kuuga and defeat the Grongi solely because it's the right thing to do and to save people, he's an AllLovingHero, and only fights because it's the only choice. [[spoiler:Is a ''plot point'', as if he was anything except this he may have become as bad as Daguva when he reached Ultimate.]]

Kuuga Ultimate could ''destroy the world'' if he went all out, which is probably why [[spoiler:the FinalBattle is a brutal fist fight with no actual superpowers being thrown around except lighting each other on fire.]]
* BloodKnight: He spends a lot of the FinalBattle laughing his head off and having the time of his life, even as he's being beaten to death.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Is equal in strength to Kuuga Ultimate, implying he's every bit as potentially destuctive. If nothing else, he's capable of mass slaughtering people with pyrokinesis with no effort and capable of WeatherManipulation.
* PlayingWithFire: Has the ability to light people on fire. Not 'shoot them with fire', point his hand at them and they're suddenly on fire.
* TheCorrupter: Desires to become this for humanity and make them as vile and violent as his kind.
