| 5 | [[caption-width-right:350: The Low-Class Roimudes. [[note]]From left to right: Cobra-type, Spider-Type and Bat-type Roidmudes.[[/note]]]] |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The Roidmudes are the main antagonists of ''Series/KamenRiderDrive''. A group of 108 artificial life forms created by Tenjuro Banno as unique androids that were capable of 'evolving' to become more like humans. However, when their development had hit a wall, he asked his friend Krim Steinbelt for help. Steinbelt was developing a new source of energy called "Core Driviar". While skeptical of his colleague's research, Krim relented and allowed Banno to utilize the prototype of his invention in the development of the androids. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Unfortunately, upon their completion, rather than wanting to work together with humanity, the Roidmudes decided that they themselves were the superior beings and opted to rebel against them. The first act of their rebellion was to kill both Banno and Steinbelt. Then they proceeded to enact a worldwide invasion, with resulted in the "Global Freeze" incident, destroying everything in their path. But thanks to a lone hero known as Proto-Drive, their scheme was stopped at the last minute. Six months later, the Roidmudes are now in hiding and biding their time, slowly gaining more power, with the long term plan of finding the enigmatic "Promised Number" and finally annihilating the human race. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Covered in a conductive material similar to the human brain, they can evolve by [[PowersAsPrograms copying people's]] [[PowerCopying body parts and physical attributes]], making them more and more powerful. But their most dangerous power by far is the ability to cause the Density Shift Effect - a [[TimeStandsStill phenomena where everything in the vicinity is slowed down to a crawl]], with the exception of the Roidmudes themselves. |

| 14 | |
| 15 | [[folder:General Tropes]] |
| 16 | * AIIsACrapshoot: They're androids, not AIs, but the trope fits. [[spoiler:Later on, its revealed that Banno purposely made most of the Roidmudes evil to begin with, so this trope is Averted.]] |
| 17 | * AnimalMotifs: The basic Roidmudes are segregated into categories based on this trope: |
| 18 | ** BatOutOfHell: Bat-types |
| 19 | ** ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Cobra-types |
| 20 | ** SpidersAreScary: Spider-types |
| 21 | ** HumansAreSpecial: The only two Human-types Roidmudes, [[spoiler:Proto-Zero (aka Chase) and Cyberoid ZZZ. Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart adds a third one; the Proto Body Heart revives in]]. |
| 22 | * TheAssimilator: They evolve by copying appearances and memories from actual humans. Death of the one copied not required, but some Roidmudes do it anyway. |
| 23 | * BlankSlate: All Roidmudes start as this. They are designed to evolve by absorbing knowledge and information, upon with they start to form a personality. If they become unruly and jeopardize the Roidmude objectives, they will be hunted down and returned to this state by Brain. |
| 24 | ** As it turns out, [[spoiler:this is why they're bad. Banno uploaded dark human emotions into them, which influenced many of them to become violent upon maturity. Had he not been there, it's likely they would've been much better.]] |
| 25 | * LesCollaborateurs: Neo Viral Core hosts willingly choose to side with the Roidmudes. |
| 26 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Heart, Brain and Chase wear clothes that are the same color as their Roidmude (or in the case of the latter, Mashin Chaser) forms. |
| 27 | ** ColourCodedForYourConvenience: Each Roidmude's power has a different color. This is most notable when they change forms. |
| 28 | ** Some of them have body parts that are in a different color from the rest[[note]]For example, 084's collar was blue[[/note]]. |
| 29 | ** The Executors who appear later, Medic and Freeze, don't seem to follow this pattern, though. Medic is an ElegantGothicLolita dressed in black while Freeze is often seen wearing a green coat over a brown suit, but their Roidmude forms are yellow and red and a light blue respectively. |
| 30 | * DeathIsCheap: It used to be. Heart was hoping that the revival of Medic would make it so once more, but she wound up being terribly disinterested in healing Roidmudes weren't him. |
| 31 | * DefeatEqualsExplosion: Standard fare for [[{{Tokusatsu}} toku monsters]], but they take it one step further. Whenever a destroyed Roidmude's body goes kaboom, all that remains is a Core. If Drive dealt enough damage, that will go boom as well. In other words, Roidmudes explode ''two times in a row''. |
| 32 | ** [[spoiler:Weaponized by Chase, who after being mortally wounded by Banno, tackles the MadScientist and holds onto him until the explosion happens.]] |
| 33 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: While they're the overall villains and are still antagonists, [[spoiler:it becomes clear that they're nothing compared to their inventor]]. |
| 34 | * EarlyBirdCameo: As there are a finite number of Roidmudes, several of them that later become MonsterOfTheWeek can be seen first during the Global Freeze, albeit in their unevolved form... though you'll have to squint your eyes really hard to deduce which one is which. |
| 35 | * EvilKnockoff: Roidmudes who copy humans get both their appearance and personality traits, becoming warped versions of those humans. |
| 36 | * {{Expy}}: They share many similarities with the [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Worms]], what with the {{Mooks}} getting the option to evolve into the MonsterOfTheWeek, the Slowdown concept being the inverse of Clock Up (here effecting everything but them normally), and the ability to take human form. Some of their traits are like the Orphnochs and Natives, who wants to live in a normal life instead. |
| 37 | ** There's also similarities with the [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Inves]] - Mook form variants (colors instead of animal types), relying on some MacGuffin (Lock Seeds and Viral Cores) to evolve, either to a MonsterOfTheWeek, a sentient commander (Overlords or the Executors Heart, Brain and Medic) or OneWingedAngel level. Instead of Helheim, they ''bring their home ground advantage'' with them by inducing Slowdown. |
| 38 | ** Androids who start off normal, but after a little bit of negative influence turn evil? Sounds very similar to [[VideoGame/MegaManX a Reploid going Maverick]]. |
| 39 | * FantasticRacism: It goes both ways as [[spoiler:after Freeze's defeat]], laws are put into place that makes even associating with a Roidmude a punishable offense. |
| 40 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Well, from a ''lesser'' Nightmare to a bigger one, but still. All major Roidmudes like Heart or Brain started out as basic Low-Classed ones, having evolved into much more powerful forms. |
| 41 | * FingerFirearms: Minor Roidmudes' basic form of attack. |
| 42 | * FromASingleCell: So long as their Cores are still intact, they can resurrect after some time with the help of a Viral Core. But if it's destroyed, they're gone for good. |
| 43 | * FourIsDeath: |
| 44 | ** [[spoiler:Heart eventually reveals that their "Promised Number" is four, meaning if four Roidmudes achieve Super Evolution then they can trigger a second, truly worldwide Global Freeze.]] |
| 45 | ** This trope is present for 004 as well; for more details, look at his entry. |
| 46 | * GoldenSuperMode: Their super evolution gives their bodies a golden color, as shown with [[spoiler:Freeze, Brain, Heart, and Medic]]. |
| 47 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: Besides wanting to atone for the fact that [[spoiler:his father created them]], Go wants them all dead lest one of them accidentally (or intentionally) tells Kiriko that [[spoiler:Banno was the one who made them.]] |
| 48 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: In general the Roidmudes pursue their own desires, but Heart and Brain have been tasked with gathering Roidmudes with unique powers in search of something called the "Promised Number". And apparently they're on a time limit. |
| 49 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: This theme becomes more prominent with the Neo Viral Cores. Their arrival causes humans who were already evil criminals to take part in the plot and as a police officer Shinnosuke is tasked with arresting them, not redeeming them. |
| 50 | ** Towards the end of the show, [[spoiler:it's revealed that Banno caused them to become violent due to altering them while they were being born, meaning that if not for his evil plans they could've lived in peace. Shinnosuke even says in the finale that the true evil was the darkness in humanity's hearts, not them]]. |
| 51 | * MeaningfulName: The name Roidmude comes from combination of the words "And'''roid'''" and "'''Mu'''tant". |
| 52 | * MechanicalEvolution: Roidmudes are, as stated above, mutant androids. Their purpose is to copy the data of humans in order to develop and mature based on that data. |
| 53 | * MechanicalMonster: Advanced Roidmudes are Roidmudes who've undergone an evolution into a unique and much more monstrous form. |
| 54 | * {{Mooks}}: Despite there being a limited number of Roidmudes, several of them serve this role. |
| 55 | * MoralMyopia: On the Global Freeze, they tried to ''wipe out humanity'', and yet they have a hatred of Drive for killing their kind in retaliation. [[spoiler:[[JustifiedTrope It's not until later that they had a good explanation]] [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters for why human lives didn't matter to them.]]]] |
| 56 | * NoBiologicalSex: Being robots, Roidmudes don't have sexual characteristics. Those who copy human forms and take on their personality traits begin to identify as the gender of their chosen target, but could change these forms at will. |
| 57 | * OneWingedAngel: If a basic Roidmude will use 3 Viral Cores, he will become a gigantic, animal-shaped mecha-beast known as a [[AllThereInTheManual Giant Roidmude]]. |
| 58 | ** If an Advanced Roidmude does it, they use 2 Viral Cores, but they have a chance of escaping certain death and devolve back into their original form. |
| 59 | * PhlebotinumRebel: A twist on the usual Rider standard. Their power comes from Core Driviar engines, the same system originally meant to power the Shift Cars and Tridoron, which is also the reason they can cause Density Shifts. |
| 60 | * PsychoForHire: Due to the nature of Neo Roidmudes, their choice of human hosts have all been psychotic criminals. |
| 61 | * PsychopathicManchild: An entire race of them. Roidmudes evolve by mirroring a human, thus they childishly base their actions off of the human, leading to this trope to happen. Thus, a Roidmude who based himself off of a stalker develops stalker tendencies, while another Roidmude who based himself on an otaku becomes an almost completely harmless otaku himself. |
| 62 | * RuleOfThree: There are 3 types of Viral Cores: regular Viral Cores for evolving Roidmudes, Chaser Viral Cores for giving Mashin Chaser his armaments, [[spoiler:and Neo Viral Cores, which allows a Roidmude to evolve by [[FusionDance fusing with a human]].]] |
| 63 | ** This also applies between individual Cores or Roidmudes, any of which can be Cobra, Spider, or Bat. |
| 64 | * StandardEvilOrganizationSquad: The Roidmude executives, who oversee all actions taken by the Roidmudes and lead their uprising. |
| 65 | * SkullForAHead: No you are not imagining it, all Low-Class Roidmudes' heads have what look like human skulls for heads, or at the very least, the parts above the nasal cavity. |
| 66 | * StrongerWithAge: If Heart is to be believed, Roidmudes get stronger as they live longer. They are supposed to be self-evolving. |
| 67 | * SuperSpeed: Even without using Density Shifts, many Roidmudes can run so fast on foot that the Riders need to use their vehicles to catch up to them. |
| 68 | * TimeStandsStill: They all have the power to induce "Slowdown"/"Density Shift", which causes time to get all wonky for everyone except themselves, Drive and anyone in possession of a Shift Car. |
| 69 | * TragicMonster: [[spoiler:While they are dangerous, and have caused hundreds, if not thousands, of deaths, ultimately, Banno's abuse made them what they were, and there are implications that had things been different they could have lived in peace with humanity.]] |
| 70 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: The first three Roidmudes rebelled against their creator. [[spoiler:But it was actually his set up along and letting them kill him after stealing Krim's mind uploading tech, plotting his evil plan in the shadow without the Roidmudes knowing]]. |
| 71 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: The Roidmudes can change their form at will. |
| 72 | * WingedHumanoid: Bat-type Roidmudes can sprout wings out of their backs. |
| 73 | * YouAreNumberSix: Their true form is literally nothing but floating numbers. Roidmudes that haven't yet evolved are referred solely by their number. Once they evolve, they are referred to by their motif. Some prefer to go by their numbers even after evolving, such as 001, 006, and 008; with the latter two doing so to keep their powers a secret. |

| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder:Heart]] |
| 77 | !!002 Heart Roidmude/[[spoiler:Kamen Rider Heart]] |
| 78 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Tomoya Warabino (live), Yohei Fujita (suit) |
| 79 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heart_6.png]] |
| 80 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heart_roidmude.png]] |
| 81 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heart_roidmude_4.png]] |
| 82 | One of the first Roidmudes and their de-facto leader. He greatly cares for his fellow androids, treating all of them like friends. That empathy however hides a bloodthirsty killer, who will risk his own life to destroy those opposing the Roidmudes. Together with Brain and later Medic, he plots the uprising against mankind. |
| 83 | \ |
| 84 | His most fearsome ability is being able to enter a state known as "Dead Zone", where he gets stronger and stronger at the risk of exploding. |
| 85 | !!!Tropes that apply to him in general |
| 86 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:The way he talks about his former relationship with his creator Banno just screams of this trope.]] |
| 87 | * AchillesHeel: His heart, of course. |
| 88 | * AffablyEvil: He's rather polite and chill, seeing all of the Roimudes as his friends. In #38, he even states that he's never really thought of himself as evil, and Shinnosuke actually agrees with him. |
| 89 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:In the end, all his attempts to free his kind by violent revolution accomplished was every Roidmude except himself dying and playing right into the hands of the very one he was rebelling against.]] |
| 90 | * AntagonistInMourning: He takes the destruction of his fellow Roidmudes ''hard'', even worse when he believed Chase was dead. He's the only one of the Roidmudes whom actually ''cares''. |
| 91 | ** [[spoiler:Did not take it well when Freeze killed Shinnosuke. Though, it was more for the fact Heart wouldn't reach his own Ultimate Evolution with Shinnosuke gone]]. |
| 92 | * AntiVillain: He's not really your typical Tokusatsu main villain. He's rather polite to just about everyone, He very rarely if ever gets angry, and he genuinely cares for the well being of his subordinates. And as #38 reveals, he doesn't even consider himself to be evil, and even shows a great deal of honor by [[spoiler:refusing to kill Shinnosuke because he can't fight back. Keep in mind that Shinnosuke is responsible for the deaths of about ''50% of the Roidmudes'']] |
| 93 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: In the ''Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger'' crossover, he doesn't believe Brain telling him that he sees giant robots when his entire race is made up of killer time-stopping robots that can also ''mutate'' into giant robots. |
| 94 | * ArchEnemy: [[spoiler:Of Banno]]. |
| 95 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After being resurrected in "Saga", no longer wanting to see the Roidmudes harming people as they once did.]] |
| 96 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: By far the strongest opponent Drive has faced, even managing to defeat Type Wild easily in the power department and [[spoiler:just keeps getting stronger by the minute]]. |
| 97 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Is accidentally resurrected by Go in the "Drive Saga" specials an attempt to resurrect Chase. Fortunately, Heart is tired of the fighting and makes a HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 98 | * BadassLongcoat: Most noticeable in his human form, though as a Roidmude he still has traces of it. |
| 99 | * BigRedDevil: His Roidmude form definitely takes some cues from the Devil. |
| 100 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: A villainous example. Heart sees all humans as evil and all Roidmudes as good. |
| 101 | * BloodKnight: More subdued when compared to [[Series/KamenRiderWizard Phoenix]] and [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Deemushu]] but it's there. In fact, [[spoiler:the emotion Heart copied from humans was Joy, and he admitted to Chase the thing he feels most passionately in the heat of battle is Joy]]. |
| 102 | * BreakoutCharacter: Heart's popularity got him his own special [[spoiler:where he becomes a Rider]]. |
| 103 | * BrokenBird: It is eventually revealed that his torment at the hands of [[spoiler:Banno]] has left him very, very broken on the inside. |
| 104 | * {{Deconstruction}}: Even more than Chase, Heart is what a Rider would be if they were truly on the bad guys' side. |
| 105 | ** {{Determinator}}: He won't stop until humanity is enslaved and Roidmudes are on top of the food chain. |
| 106 | ** HeroicWillpower: The Dead Zone lets him boost his strength high enough to fight Drive head on even at the risk of high damage. |
| 107 | ** PowerOfFriendship: He wants revenge more and more every time another one of his Roidmude pals gets done in. |
| 108 | ** ProtagonistCenteredMorality: As far as he's concerned, he and the other Roidmudes are just fighting for their proper place in the world, and that humans and the Riders are the evil ones. |
| 109 | ** [[spoiler:He's also been the subject of cruel experiments like the first Kamen Rider.]] |
| 110 | ** {{Reconstruction}}: Ultimately comes full circle when he [[spoiler:teams up with the heroes in the last episodes and eventually becomes a Rider himself in ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart'']]. |
| 111 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To Rosyuo and [[spoiler:Kaito]] from ''Series/KamenRiderGaim''. While he shares their color schemes and their statuses as leaders of inhuman armies, Heart is (often to a fault) an optimist who cherishes and trusts his villainous subordinates instead of viewing them with contempt and suspicion. |
| 112 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Is the BigBad for most of the series, but ultimately ends up booted out of this spot by Banno [[SealedEvilInACan once the maniac escapes]].]] |
| 113 | * TheDreaded: The first time he showed himself to Shinnosuke and co., Mr. Belt opted to tell Shinnosuke to retreat rather than fight him. |
| 114 | * TheDragon: At first he's this to Freeze, although he seems to give the commands at first glance...then Freeze steps into the picture and Heart more or less lets him lead. |
| 115 | * EnemyMine: More than willing to ally with the Riders against [[spoiler:Banno]], though he still insists that ''he'' should be the one to kill the guy. |
| 116 | * EtTuBrute: This is how he reacts to [[spoiler:Brain and Chase]] agreeing with Angel's plan for the Roidmudes. |
| 117 | * EvilVirtues: He genuinely cares for his fellow Roidmudes, considering them all his friends. That Drive is running around killing them drives him into such a fury when they finally clash that he's willing to risk burning himself out if it means destroying Drive in the process. |
| 118 | * ExplosiveOverclocking: The source of his overwhelming power, known as the Dead Zone. Using it gives him a huge power boost, but puts him at a serious risk of self-destruction. However according to him, since Medic not only healed his earlier damage, but strengthened him, this flaw [[OhCrap might no longer be a concern]]. |
| 119 | * EyelessFace: Heart's Roidmude form has no eyes, unless the space between his horns and scalp are his "eyes". |
| 120 | * FirstAmongEquals: He views the Roidmude executives as all being on the same playing field, but in practice he's their ''de facto'' leader, with Brain and Medic being happy to follow behind him, and Freeze viewing him as the one most fit to lead the Roidmudes. |
| 121 | * FirstOfItsKind: Episode #40 revealed that he became active before 001, [[spoiler:if only as a torture subject for Banno]]. |
| 122 | * FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:His creator basically made him to let himself torture someone with the face of a person he hated. Is it any wonder he hates humanity after ''that''?]] |
| 123 | * ForcedIntoEvil: Well, he was pretty evil already, but [[spoiler:Banno blackmailed him into service in order to save Medic. Once Medic's safe, they pull an EnemyMine with the Riders.]] |
| 124 | * HeelRealization: [[spoiler:After the reveal that Chase's brainwashing was due to Heart in the first place, him mourning the Reaper's death and accepting his joining the heroes can be taken as a slight case of this.]] |
| 125 | * TheHeart: Ignoring all the obvious jokes that come from this, he is very much this in his own way, viewing the Roidmudes as friends and family and wanting them to work together. [[spoiler:Case in point, he's the only one truly mourning Chase's ''death''. Brain is really only pretending to get back at Medic. He is also the only one programmed with a "positive" emotion, compared to his comrades.]] |
| 126 | * TheHeavy: He's the face of the Roidmude executives, with Brain and Medic deferring to him, and the one at the forefront of their uprising against humanity. |
| 127 | * HeroKiller: He's the Roidmude who took Krim Steinbelt's life. [[spoiler:Ironically, his rescuer who saved him from Banno's abuse]]. |
| 128 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Brain & [[spoiler:formerly]] Chase, though [[WordOfGay Brain]] isn't [[HoYay exactly heterosexual]]. |
| 129 | * HotBlooded: He admits that when the blood starts pumping, he has trouble quieting down. |
| 130 | * HonorBeforeReason: He does admit that he could easily kill Shinnosuke untransformed, but he feels it isn't worth it, as the point of his revolution to surpass their creators, not simply win against them. Also, see WorthyOpponent below, where [[spoiler:the key to his Ultimate Evolution is Shinnosuke]]. |
| 131 | * IOweYouMyLife: Why he's so insistent on reviving Medic and why he's so forgiving of her more psychopathic proclivities. |
| 132 | * LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:by #46, he is the last living Roidmude]]. |
| 133 | ** [[spoiler:Or at least [[KilledOffForReal was]]]]. |
| 134 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: For much of the series, he has no idea why Brain and Medic hate each other and doesn't know of Medic's aspirations for genocide. |
| 135 | * MonsterLord: He's the lead Roidmude. Technically Freeze is the one on top, but he has no problem with Heart taking active leadership noting to Medic that Heart has all the characteristics of a great king. |
| 136 | * MoralMyopia: Heart values the lives of Roidmudes over humanity, much in the same way humans would animals. He sees whatever they do against them as righteous but the reverse a heinous crime. He also feels justified in sending Chase after uncooperative ones since he can't actually kill them, and wishes them a better next life. |
| 137 | ** [[spoiler:His viewing Chase as a close friend becomes this in #30, where it's revealed that not only was he aware of Chase's brainwashing, but it was his idea and he helped perform the operation personally...while Chase was still alive and conscious. As soon as Proto-Drive was on their side, though, Heart considered him a good friend.]] |
| 138 | * MrFanservice: Already a fairly good looking man, #12 goes one step beyond by having him shirtless. |
| 139 | * NobleDemon: Has a lot of honor despite being a Roidmude. Mourning for his friends when others would just scoff or label them as failures, and even [[spoiler:allowing Chase to make his decision on whether he'll be fighting for them or the Riders instead of just grabbing him and dragging him to their base for further brainwashing when Chase shows serious conflict of who he should fight for and then taking the news, although sad about it, rather well]]. |
| 140 | * NumberTwo: Literally, as he is labeled as 002 after it was heavily implied. However, Heart is still the leader of the Roidmudes, as 001 believed Heart was the most suited for the role. |
| 141 | * OfficialCouple: With Medic, much to [[HoYay Brain's displeasure]]. |
| 142 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: Waits till #10 to get a piece of the action, and shows us why it took him that long to get active. |
| 143 | * PetTheDog: The first thing he did to 041 when Medic experimented on it was to heal away its side effects. |
| 144 | * PsychopathicManchild: An aversion compared to the rest of his race. Heart is actually very mature, which is probably why he's in charge. |
| 145 | * RedIsHeroic: Played with. Heart usually wears a red outfit, has a red coloration as an Advanced Roidmude, is one of the least villainous Roidmudes, and certainly the most genial of them. [[spoiler:His EnemyMine situation with the heroes in the final episodes pushes him closer to this trope, and he lands squarely in it when he becomes Kamen Rider Heart.]] |
| 146 | * RedOniBlueOni: Normally acts as the blue to Brain's red, until he gets angry and inverts the relationship. |
| 147 | * RivalFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Subverted. As much as he wants to become this, he can't on the account of his fatal wounds and Shinnosuke acknowledges this]]. |
| 148 | * SkullForAHead: Unlike other evolved Roidmudes, who forgo their skull heads during evolution, Heart still retains his a la [[Characters/MortalKombatDeception Havik]]. |
| 149 | * SuperMobBoss: He's easily one of the toughest Roidmudes in the show, and the one who gives the others the go-ahead to do their crimes. |
| 150 | * SuperMode BattleAura: "Dead Zone", a red lightning charged aura that is responsible for Heart's power. |
| 151 | * SuperpowerLottery: Because he was one of the first Roidmudes activated, [[spoiler:Banno neglected to program a strong negative emotion into him]], so while his fellow Roidmudes have to pursue painful states of being such as Envy and Humiliation, Heart gets stronger the happier he becomes. In fact, the only reason his evolution is inhibited is due to how [[spoiler:his past abuse at his creator's hands scarred him mentally and the fact that the death of each of his fellow Roidmudes weighs heavily on his spirit.]] |
| 152 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Of all the Executives, he is the only one who cared for other Roidmudes. He is also the most polite, respected Chase's new decision to defend humanity, and opposed Medic harming other Roidmude when he finally found out. |
| 153 | ** [[spoiler:It's taken even further when it's revealed that, aside from Chase, he is very likely the ''only'' Roidmude who hasn't had negative emotions deliberately programmed into him by Banno, or corrupted by their own powers like Medic]]. |
| 154 | * TransformationIsAFreeAction: Averted. When Heart is about to transform to fight Drive, Mr. Belt calls the Tridoron to shoot him down and escape. |
| 155 | * TrueCompanions: Oddly for a villain, he believes in this trope, seeing all of the Roimudes as his friends. Meanwhile, he seems to have a special fondness for Medic. |
| 156 | * UnstoppableRage: The loss of his fellow Roidmudes drives him to manhandle the Riders when he fights them, even risking using his powers that could very well kill him as long as he gets the chance to take Drive down with him. |
| 157 | * VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Averted; Mr. Belt says that Heart has grown stronger since fighting Proto-Drive. #37 reveals [[spoiler:averting this is his actual ''power'' - when an opponent hits him with their strongest, he analyzes it and automatically surpasses it.]] |
| 158 | ** This trope is played much straighter when Heart faces Drive in his Dead Heat form. |
| 159 | ** Then subverted in his fight with [[spoiler:Kamen Rider Chaser due to finding power from his key to his Ultimate Evolution.]] |
| 160 | ** Subverted again once he gets the ability of using [[TimeStandsStill Super Slowdown, making any type except Formula, Dead Heat, and Tridoron useless.]] Even without it, by #37 [[spoiler:he can beat Type Tridoron in a no-holds-barred fistfight, even overcoming Drive's Rider Kick with a punch.]] |
| 161 | * VillainousFriendship: With all Roidmudes, to where, with less than 70 Roidmudes left after #25, he sounds pretty mournful at how quiet it is with the lack of his friends. |
| 162 | * VillainousValor: He's willing to sacrifice his life to kill Drive so the Roidmudes can complete their revolution. |
| 163 | * VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:A HeroicSacrifice example to save the Riders from a brainwashed Medic, then had himself abducted by Gold Drive and later ForcedIntoEvil temporarily to save Medic and get along with his play, until Brain's sacrifice to save Medic's life]]. |
| 164 | * VisionaryVillain: Heart sees a world where the Roidmudes have supplanted humanity and have evolved into a better species. |
| 165 | * WeHaveReserves: Notably does ''not'' believe in this. He genuinely cares about his kind and hates anyone who kills one of them. [[spoiler:He gets flat out ''furious'' at Medic for having this mentality, to the point of saving the mook she was about to let get killed before chewing her out.]] |
| 166 | * TheWorfEffect: Heart's no pushover, but all of his major battles serve to stress the newfound powers of the heroes (and rival villains). |
| 167 | * WorthyOpponent: Begins to see Drive as this after his defeat at the hands of Type Dead Heat. [[spoiler:To where he is not glad that Freeze apparently killed Shinnosuke, but aggravated, since Heart believes Drive is the key to his Ultimate Evolution.]] |
| 168 | * WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Played with. Heart is very aware that he could very easily go find Shinnosuke and company and just end them, but he doesn't have any interest in doing so, and writes off the chance the minute Brain suggests it. #33 reveals why - see Worthy Opponent above. |
| 169 | * {{Yakuza}}: Heart comes off as something of a gangster. |

| 171 | !!!Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Heart |

| 174 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kr_heart_1.png]] |
| 175 | [[caption-width-right:210:''Drive: Type Miracle! Heart the Kamen Rider!'']] |
| 176 | |
| 177 | * AllYourPowersCombined: His Shift Heartron Shift Car allows him to perform a "Viral Blending", allowing him to access Brain and Medic's powers along with his own. |
| 178 | * CastFromLifespan: Brain admits that by allowing access to his full power as Type Miracle, through fusing his own and Medic's Cores into the Driver, none of them are going to survive afterward. Heart admits he's fine with this, [[FaceDeathWithDignity because at least they'd be dying together this time]]. |
| 179 | * FinishingMove: '''Heartdrop''': Kamen Rider Heart enters the Dead Zone, then focuses its power into his right leg before performing a flying kick at his opponent. |
| 180 | * {{Foil}}: '''Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Brain''' makes him one retroactively to...[[CaptainObvious Kamen Rider Brain]]. While he transforms with a Shift Car and Drive Driver, his forms are based off of Kamen Rider Drive's own forms, and he had his own "Mr. Belt" in the form of his fellow Roidmudes Brain and Medic. Kamen Rider Brain, however, transforms by simply turning the Advanced Igition on his modified Banno Driver, his sole Kamen Rider form shares the same aesthetics as Gold Drive, and he's aided by Chystal Peppler, a human scientist who looks suspiciously like Krim Steinbelt. While Heart fights [[BareFistedMonk hand-to-hand with his full strength restored]], Brain possesses his own unique gear, including a Sunglasseslasher recolor and his handkerchiefs. |
| 181 | * FusionDance: Visually, his Type Speed Wild Technic is one between all three of Drive's basic forms, and his Kamen Rider Heart form is one between his Heart Roidmude form and Drive Type Tridoron. Notably, Brain and Medic had to personally fuse their Cores into the Drive Driver Heart wore to access Type Miracle, so it can also be considered a fusion of the Power Booster variety. |
| 182 | * JokeCharacter: Type Speed Wild Technic is this, as a result of Heart's new body limiting his full power and Brain rapidly compiling the data of Drive's battles while in the heat of battle against Roidmude 5886. Not to mention that it's pretty much based on Gen's shoddy artist rendition of what he first though Kamen Rider Drive was. |

| 191 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brain_roidmude_6.png]] |
| 192 | A high-ranking Roidmude and Heart's partner. As his name indicates, he is extremely logical - which causes him frustration when others around him are more emotional and don't follow or appreciate such logic (which is most of the time). |
| 193 | !!!Tropes that apply to him in general |
| 194 | * AintTooProudToBeg: He outright begs for his life when Medic demonstrates her new brainwashing techniques by ordering Chase to kill him, something Chase would otherwise never do. He also approaches 001 for help when he realizes he simply cannot keep up with Medic's level of ruthlessness, and how it's basically made him a joke. [[spoiler:Subverted in #44. He begs for his life again when Banno sends Medic to capture him, but this time he's pulling an ISurrenderSuckers to get close to Banno.]] |
| 195 | * AlwaysSecondBest: How he feels about Medic. Made no better on how when she returns she becomes Heart's right hand as well as her seemingly doing his job better and with more results. |
| 196 | * BadassCape: In his Roidmude form. |
| 197 | * BadBoss: Let's just say Brain was not happy with Chaser when he let Drive go to Volt... |
| 198 | * BigBadDuumvirate: |
| 199 | ** Leads the Roidmudes along with Heart. However, once Medic enters the picture he feels like he's getting demoted. |
| 200 | ** He later briefly becomes a villain duo with [[spoiler:Nira]]. |
| 201 | * BreakoutCharacter: Strangely, he managed to get his own special and become an official Kamen Rider four years after the end of his series, albeit a comedic one. |
| 202 | * ButtMonkey: [[spoiler:Probably because when he retreated into the CIA during the Global Freeze, the guy he copied [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl wasn't exactly calm.]]]] |
| 203 | * CharacterDevelopment: A rather dark take on this trope, and one purposely {{Invoked}} by 001, who's encouraging Brain to take ''advantage'' of his recent VillainDecay and ButtMonkey status to spike up his negative emotions to new levels to reach a higher point of evolution. |
| 204 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the early episodes, Brain was on even footing with Heart, even criticizing his decisions. Compare that Brain to the one who is completely devoted to Heart's existence and you'll wonder what happened, even before he became Medic's bitch. |
| 205 | * DeathOfPersonality: He can "reset" a Roidmude's personality. [[spoiler:With help from Prof. Banno.]] |
| 206 | * DemotedToDragon: [[spoiler:After getting fed up with the lack of progress under Heart and Medic's direction he goes to 001 for help and becomes his subordinate. This has strangely gone well for him, as he's regained a lot of his former menace and competence... for a while anyway.]] |
| 207 | * TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After obtaining his SuperMode, he takes great pleasure in giving Medic a beatdown for how she treated him.]] [[spoiler:She returns the favor after the Riders kick his butt and reduce him to just a core.]] |
| 208 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome / [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]: [[spoiler:Dies sacrificing himself to free Medic from Banno's control, depriving the latter of his blackmail material over Heart; allowing both to ally with the Riders against Banno.]] |
| 209 | -->'''Brain''': Did you forget, Banno? My name is Brain... it means I have the intelligence to thwart your plans! |
| 210 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: As rotten as he is, [[spoiler:he's suitably horrified to see Banno destroy 006's core and steal his body.]] |
| 211 | * EvilGenius: He's the smartest of all Roidmudes and the brains behind their operations...at first. |
| 212 | * GreenEyedMonster: 001 reveals that envy is the unique emotion that helped trigger Brain's evolution, like Heart's Joy, Medic's Lust, and Freeze's Humiliation. [[spoiler:He also evolved into his Super Evolved State because of Nira's envy against the Tomaris.]] |
| 213 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Brain believes he's a completely logical being, but all of his motives are later driven by the emotion of envy. |
| 214 | * HeelFaceTurn: Was told by Heart that [[spoiler:they are created to follow Banno, suggesting him to escape. After Heart and Medic are abducted, he felt sad for Medic's twisted personality for syncing other Roidmudes' memory syncs while healing their physical body. While trying to find a new life as a human, Brain is now on the run from Gold Drive and under protection of Special Investigation Division, until he "surrendered" himself, to save Medic and Heart, and Gold Drive's play]]. |
| 215 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: Invoked on his part. He continues to use the Thief Roidmude form for a while until he's able to do cheap shot at Kamen Rider Drive by the time he's ready to reveal his Ultimate Evolution. |
| 216 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: The reason he [[spoiler:[[TakingTheBullet Took The Bullet]] for Medic]] believing that out of the two of them, Heart cared more for her. |
| 217 | * ISurrenderSuckers: [[spoiler:He stopped running from Banno and went back to screw up his plans from the inside.]] |
| 218 | * {{Irony}}: Brain has shown much more emotion than Heart. Heart is calm while Brain constantly voices his irritation at his lesser-evolved comrades for mostly being reckless and overall stupid. |
| 219 | ** FridgeBrilliance: Of course, since Heart's theme is emotion, while Brain's is logic, this shouldn't surprise anyone. He literally cannot comprehend anything other than logical solutions. |
| 220 | * GreenEyedMonster: He becomes intensely jealous of Medic when she appears to be taking his spot in everything he used to do; as Roidmude leader, Heart's confidant, and Chase's reprogrammer. Justified in that the emotion he draws power from is Envy. |
| 221 | * KleptomaniacHero: Villainous version; he twice stole tablets from bystanders to get computer access; once at the series premiere and again near the end of the series when [[spoiler:on the run.]] |
| 222 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:In #44]]. |
| 223 | * KnowledgeBroker: Keeps tabs on all Roidmude activities. |
| 224 | * MadeOfIron: [[spoiler:Gets hit with a triple Rider Kick performed by Chaser, Deadheat Mach, and Drive Type Tridoron; and while it destroyed his body, his core survived. Compare this to Freeze, who was killed off by ''just'' Type Tridoron's FinishingMove.]] |
| 225 | * MyBrainIsBig: Sports a pretty impressive noggin' in his Roidmude form, topped with what looks like a giant pan. [[StealthPun So you could say he has an enormous brainpan.]] |
| 226 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After seeing Medic be brainwashed thanks to him helping Banno.]] |
| 227 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:In his desire to undermine Medic's position he weakens Chase's firewall which leads to Medic's plan to kill the Kamen Riders to fail which if he didn't, would have succeeded. Medic calls him out on this.]] |
| 228 | * NotSoAboveItAll: In #17, he overhears Heart and Medic talking. Brain berates himself for eavesdropping but still listens anyway. [[HoYay Then he goes into a jealous rage over how close Medic is to Heart.]] |
| 229 | * OhCrap: [[spoiler:After witnessing Banno killing 006's core and stealing his now-empty body, as well as Gold Drive's power and ability to steal the Riders' weaponry, Brain tries to get away as fast as he can. However, the dog he's looking after pees on his feet, he screams in frustration - before realizing that he just alerted Banno to his presence.]] |
| 230 | * OnlySaneMan: In #16, he figures that Drive has some connection to the Metropolitan Special Unit. When he brings up his concerns, Heart and Chase both say they don't care about Drive's secret identity, and Medic calls him petty. Brain feels like the others are ganging up on him. |
| 231 | * OpportunisticBastard: |
| 232 | ** He doesn't hesitate to try to return to Heart's favor as he's mourning [[spoiler:Chase or successfully achieving his Ultimate Evolution.]] |
| 233 | ** Second time in #34 when he [[spoiler:was about to leave Nira to be arrested when he overheard his jealousy.]] |
| 234 | * PoisonousPerson: A decent surprise, considering his motif. Brain has the power to create a powerful neurotoxin, as Shinnosuke and Go found out [[DarkestHour the hard way]]. |
| 235 | * PowerGlows: His brain glows when making his neuro-toxin. |
| 236 | * PragmaticVillainy: Unlike Heart or Chase, Brain won't hesitate to take advantage of any weakness Drive or anyone else of his enemies shows. [[spoiler:For example, when Shinnosuke confronts him in #31 without his belt, Brain notes that while Heart would give him time to get the belt and transform, Brain himself sees to reason to do so.]] He does not, however, opt to go through with his original idea of going after the Metropolitan Special Unit despite now working as [[spoiler:001's subordinate and a special advisor to the police]], simply because there is no longer a need to. |
| 237 | * PsychicPowers: Gains a number of these [[spoiler:upon gaining his SuperMode.]] |
| 238 | ** MindOverMatter: Telekinesis, the classic psychic power. |
| 239 | ** ShockAndAwe: Of the Fulgurkinesis variety. |
| 240 | ** BarrierWarrior: Can create psychic barriers. |
| 241 | * RedOniBlueOni: Red to Heart's blue, unusually for their motifs. Heart is usually the more laid-back of the two, while Brain is uptight and irritable. |
| 242 | * RuleOfThree: When he lists things against someone, he'll make sure to use three words to describe your performance. Or when he's particularly vexed, which is often. |
| 243 | * SecurityBlanket: His handkerchief. Whenever he is nervous, he will use it to calm himself down. [[spoiler:When Medic burns it, he screams in terror.]] |
| 244 | * SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He's a very big fan of this. |
| 245 | * SingleTargetSexuality: He's ''only'' attracted to Heart. |
| 246 | * SlasherSmile: Highly misleading; his monster face is frozen in what appears to be a mild version of it. Moving close up to it reveals his "teeth" is actually his lower lip. |
| 247 | * TheSpock: A deconstruction. Brain is intelligent but he doesn't get people, which the others point out makes him a lousy planner. |
| 248 | * StraightGay: He makes no attempt to hide his affection towards Heart, while being neither particularly camp, manly or depraved either. All he's really missing is openly identifying as such. The episode in which [[ADayInTheLimelight he received most of the spotlight]] is even entitled "Who Loves Heart the Most?" |
| 249 | * SurroundedByIdiots: Is increasingly annoyed that the more reckless Roidmudes are evolving. He also can't comprehend why his peers are not as pragmatic as he is either. |
| 250 | * ThisCannotBe: Brain was flummoxed by Iron's destruction and death. |
| 251 | * TomatoInTheMirror: While on the run from [[spoiler:Banno]], he coincidentally winds up in the place where he copied his first human form from and after a bit of research into exactly who it was he copied, he finds out that everything from his fondness for glasses and handkerchiefs to his desire to be the best and most favored subordinate possible was lifted wholesale from the human whose face he duplicated. |
| 252 | * VerbalTic: He has a habit of listing things in threes. [[spoiler:Tragically his last words get cut off by his own death, leading Heart to [[PleaseWakeUp beg him to tell him what the third thing he was going to say was.]]]] |
| 253 | * VillainDecay: Originally portrayed as a EvilGenius smart enough to just kill Drive, Brain slowly degrades into a joke. The other Executors call all of his plans stupid, he loses all respect, and then he's reduced to Medic's bitch in #22 when she burns a handkerchief that was used for ''gags'' and this act sends him to tears. It gets ''worse'' in #25 because Medic ''and'' Heart realize that [[spoiler:Roidmude 001]] has resurfaced because they both agree that Brain is too incompetent to make a Neo Viral Core. Eventually manages to reverse this with 001's help. [[spoiler:And obtaining his SuperMode.]] [[spoiler:But it's only temporary.]] |
| 254 | ** FromNobodyToNightmare: He briefly reverses this while partnered with [[spoiler:Nira]], coming closer than anyone else does to not only killing Shinnosuke but destroying his reputation and that of the entire Special Crimes Unit. Unfortunately for him it doesn't last. |
| 255 | * VillainOverride: Can take control of electronics to do things like track other Roidmudes. He can hack into other Roidmudes too, but generally doesn't. |
| 256 | * WoundedGazelleGambit[=/=]PoliceBrutalityGambit: This is how he takes Shinnosuke out of the action in #27. He poses as a higher-up police officer long after Shinnosuke knows of his human guise and pushes his BerserkButton just enough to have him flying into fury right as he assumes said guise when other police officers come. |
| 257 | !!!Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Brain |
| 258 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krdr_brain.png]] |
| 259 | [[caption-width-right:210:''Start Your Engine! Brain the Kamen Rider!'']] |
| 260 | * AllJustADream: [[spoiler:Ultimately, his time as a Kamen Rider was a dream Brain was having before making a proper debut in ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders''.]] |
| 261 | * CallingHisAttacks: Really indulges in this in his second fight with his '''Rider Poison Hand''' and '''Poison Handkerchief''', and his '''Brain Head Crusher''' FinishingMove. |
| 262 | * TheCameo: Appears as one of the Riders summoned by the power of Zi-O Ohma Form in Over Quartzer. |
| 263 | * CoolBike: Is shown driving the Ride Braiser,...which is a redesign of Chase's Ride Chaser. |
| 264 | * CoolSword: His Brain Megane Blade, which is a green recolor of the Sunglasseslasher. Lampshaded by Dark Ghost's last words. |
| 265 | * FinishingMove: '''Brain Head Crusher''': Brain leaps into the air and performs a flying kick charged with his toxins at his opponent...then lands in front of them, redirects the toxins into his head, and [[UseYourHead delivers a powerful headbutt at the opponent]]. |
| 266 | * {{Foil}}: He's one to Kamen Rider Heart. While he transforms by simply turning the Advanced Igition on his modified Banno Driver, his sole Kamen Rider form shares the same aesthetics as Gold Drive, and his "Mr.Belt" is Crystal Peppler, a human scientist that looks suspiciously like Krim Steinbelt, Heart transforms with a Shift Car and Drive Driver, his forms are based off of Kamen Rider Drive's own forms, and he had his own "Mr. Belt" in the form of his fellow Roidmudes Brain and Medic. While Heart still fights [[BareFistedMonk hand-to-hand with his full strength restored]], Brain possesses his own unique gear, including a Sunglasseslasher recolor and his handkerchiefs. [[spoiler:Also, ultimately Heart transformed into a Kamen Rider while in the real world, while Brain only transformed while in a dream.]] |
| 267 | * {{Irony}}: For the man who is extremely devoted to Heart, his Driver resembles the Driver of Banno/Gold Drive, the man Heart most despises, and also shares his appearance with both him and Proto-Drive, the Rider that foiled Heart's Global Freeze plan the first time around. |
| 268 | * PoisonousPerson: As a Kamen Rider, as he claims that he's now able to produce 999 types of toxins |
| 269 | * LethalJokeItem: His '''Poison Handkerchief" attack, which he throws his signature handkerchiefs, completely covered in poison, to kill Dark Kiva and Another Para-DX on contact. |

| 278 | [[caption-width-right:210:Proto-Zero]] |
| 279 | Drive's rival and enforcer for the Roidmudes. His mission is to defeat Drive and also assassinate Roidmudes that fail to follow their orders. |
| 280 | |
| 281 | His true identity is the 000 Human-type Roidmude Proto-Zero, who was previously Kamen Rider Proto-Drive before being captured and brainwashed. He later regains his memories and becomes Kamen Rider Chaser. |
| 282 | !!!Tropes that apply to him in general |
| 283 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:For breaking Shinnosuke's arm, and his past action when he was turned into Mashin Chaser, Chase becomes a Kamen Rider again, donning the mantle of Kamen Rider Chaser.]] |
| 284 | * BadassBiker: Rides a motorbike called the Ride Chaser. |
| 285 | * BaritoneOfStrength: A powerful warrior and he has a rather deep voice. |
| 286 | * BequeathedPower: [[spoiler:Gives Go his Signal Bike before he dies, enabling him to become Chaser Mach and kill Banno once and for all]]. |
| 287 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:After his turn to good, Chase uses his 'Pop out of nowhere' powers for good always arriving to save the day]]. |
| 288 | * BloodFromTheMouth: Chase coughs up blood in ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser'' when [[spoiler:he stabs himself in the chest with the Rhino Super Viral Core to remove Angel's feather, because the feather gives him emotions at the cost of making him incompatible with Signal Chaser]]. |
| 289 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Brain reprogrammed him to be the Roidmudes' enforcer. And when that didn't completely take, Medic took a shot at it. |
| 290 | ** However even Medic notes that Chase's core is quite difficult to access and change, proven when even she could only ''slightly'' change his code. So there's a chance that his code will reject the modifications to it. |
| 291 | *** And indeed, he seems to ''briefly'' flash back to his true programming in #21, when Shinnosuke reminds him about Kiriko. Though it doesn't stick. As it turns out, this is due to Brain, as Chase completely reverts in #22. Sadly, Medic just re-brainwashes him and turns it up several notches until he was defeated by Drive Type Formula. After that, he's [[spoiler:free of it and has joined Team Drive as Kamen Rider Chaser.]] |
| 292 | * TheBrute: An exceptional fighter who does most of the Executors' field work. |
| 293 | * ColdHam: Always looks and sounds rather stoic, even when he's engaging in the same sort of silliness as those around him. This also makes him... |
| 294 | * TheComicallySerious: Stoic and serious in everything, including silly moments around Shinnosuke and his team. |
| 295 | * CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Chase has Proto-Drive's memory and fighting skills, but his human form is copied from Koichi Kano.]] |
| 296 | * DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:He took several fatal blows for Go before falling into his arms, before giving him his drivers license and signal bike, the two things given to him by his human friends]]. |
| 297 | * DiscardAndDraw: From Mashin Chaser's [[TimeStandsStill Hyper-Slowdowns]] and [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Break Gunner]] to [[spoiler:'''Kamen Rider Chaser's''' Executioner's Ax]] |
| 298 | * TheDulcineaEffect: He fixates on Kiriko for some reason that even he's not sure of. It's suggested that he remembers rescuing her during the Global Freeze, which only reinforces the trope. |
| 299 | * EmotionsVsStoicism: His rivalry with Drive can be interpreted as such, which Chase firmly as TheStoic. PlayedForLaughs when [[spoiler:Chase asks Shinnosuke whether or not he likes Kiriko.]] |
| 300 | * EvilSoundsDeep: [[VocalDissonance Contrary to his]] {{Bishonen}} looks, he has an incredibly deep, intimidating voice. Even [[TransformationTrinket the Break Gunner]] has a low, dark rabble. |
| 301 | * TheFaceless: [[spoiler:We never get to see Proto-Drive's real identity. We might think that he looked like Chase's human form, but Chase copied his appearance from someone else]]. |
| 302 | ** [[spoiler:Subverted. We see him transform into Proto-Drive in Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser]] |
| 303 | * FateWorseThanDeath: If Heart had [[spoiler:merely destroyed his body during his last mission as Proto-Drive, Chase simply would have reformed elsewhere over time.]] Instead, now knowing that he was in fact a Roidmude himself, [[spoiler:Heart, Brain, and Freeze kept his physical form stable so they could (painfully) reprogram him to fight for their cause.]] |
| 304 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: His fellow Roidmudes are infinitely more expressive and emotional than he is which is a fairly early clue that [[spoiler:they weren't made by the same scientist.]] |
| 305 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Krim]] created him to be a relentless enforcer free of doubt and mercy. [[spoiler:After his brainwashing,]] Chase spends almost half of the show antagonizing his [[spoiler:maker]] without hesitation, operating as intended albeit towards the wrong target. |
| 306 | * HeartbrokenBadass: Downplayed thanks to his [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove not really understanding love at first]]. [[spoiler:He develops feelings for Kiriko, but realizes that she likes Shinnosuke (and the feeling is mutual). He doesn't angst about it, but sheds some ManlyTears and resolves to fight to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy make Kiriko happy, even if it's not with him]].]] |
| 307 | * HeelFaceTurn: From a brainwashed Roidmude hitman to a [[spoiler:reformed Kamen Rider]]. |
| 308 | * HellBentForLeather: Purple leather pants and riding jacket, plus black leather boots. |
| 309 | * HesBack: [[spoiler:In #26 he decides to start over again as a Kamen Rider for Kiriko's sake.]] |
| 310 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: He firmly believes this, as shown in #5, using the weapon smuggling ring as an example. Strangely enough though, it seems like he can't bring himself to kill them. This has something to do with his prior life as Proto-Drive. |
| 311 | * HunterOfHisOwnKind: A non-lethal variant as he's tasked with "resetting" Roidmudes that cause too much trouble. However, as [[spoiler:Proto-Drive]], he expressed utter disgust at his rebellious brethren and would have exterminated them if the means had been available to him then. |
| 312 | * ImageSong: Spinning Wheel, which he shares with Shinnosuke and Go. |
| 313 | * ImplacableMan: Chase is a very fitting name. He is ''incredibly'' dedicated to hunting down Drive -- at times it seems like Shinnosuke can't drive twenty feet without Chase suddenly appearing. |
| 314 | * IronicNickname: Despite being called "The Grim Reaper", he's doesn't actually kill Roidmudes, a point he brings up to Shinnosuke [[VillainHasAPoint quite bitterly]]. Heck, he can't even bring himself to kill humans either. |
| 315 | * ItsPersonal: He hates Drive for killing his fellow Roidmudes. |
| 316 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:Falls in love with Kiriko, but realizes she loves Shinnosuke and vice versa, so he merely chooses to do all he can to make her happy, even if it's not with him. This is also why he sacrificed himself to save Go.]] |
| 317 | * KnightOfCerebus: While Chase was there from the first episode after [[spoiler:He's revealed to be Proto-Drive and is re-brainwashed]] Chase becomes a far more dangerous opponent and there is a lot less comedy in the show even when he isn't on screen. |
| 318 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: For some reason, Chase can't bring himself to shoot Kiriko, and humans in general due to memories about her. [[FridgeBrilliance This is probably why]] [[TransformationIsAFreeAction he always lets Shinnosuke transform into Drive]]. Aside from that, he doesn't even know what exactly what he is either. |
| 319 | --> '''Chase''': Kamen Rider... What is he? For that matter... [[WhamLine What am I?]] |
| 320 | * MyHeroZero: Villainous example. Chase's true form is Roidmude 000/Proto-Zero, a Human-type Roidmude. |
| 321 | ** Was once a heroic example, however, as Kamen Rider Proto-Drive. [[spoiler:...and becomes a heroic example again by becoming Kamen Rider Chaser.]] |
| 322 | * NobleDemon: He'll fight Drive only if he's unoccupied at the moment or attacking a fellow Roidmude. He also refuses to kill humans or otherwise put them in danger, though not even he understands why. As shown in #11, he lets Drive go rescue Kiriko upon hearing that many human lives were at stake. |
| 323 | ** When Kiriko finds him to get a sample of an evolved Roidmude to help Drive attack only the Roidmude part of the Sword Roidmude, he blasts off a part of his Mashin Chaser torso armor. |
| 324 | *** He's so noble that he [[spoiler:defects back to the heroes' side after feeling horrible about hurting a human being; in this case, Shinnosuke.]] |
| 325 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Krim, Shinnosuke, and Kiriko are understandably shocked when Chase shows up being genial courtesy of Angel, to the point where poor Go is the target of a triple SpitTake. |
| 326 | * PerpetualFrowner: To the point that it is ''really'' jarring to see (an illusion of) Chase smiling in #16. |
| 327 | * ProfessionalKiller: Goes after all his bosses' targets, whether they be rogue, idiotic Roidmudes or their enemies like Drive. [[TheStoic All the while showing no emotions whatsoever]]. |
| 328 | ** However, he doesn't actually "Kill" his targets, instead making them go back into being cores so they can start over from being unevolved again. Except For Drive, at least. This is why he hates Drive and calls him the TRUE Grim Reaper, because [[VillainHasAPoint he kills his comrades]]. |
| 329 | ** He doesn't kill humans either; he claims this is due to him viewing them unworthy to ''be'' killed, but it's hinted he's lying and genuinely doesn't know why he's unable to do so. [[spoiler:See ThouShaltNotKill.]] |
| 330 | ** Interestingly, [[spoiler:Medic re-brainwashes him by changing his programming to protect humans into programming to protect Roidmudes. So he can't be the Grim Reaper anymore.]] |
| 331 | * PurpleIsPowerful: In both his forms, he wears plenty of purple, and can kick everyone's ass like there's no tomorrow. |
| 332 | * RedOniBlueOni: The calm, dutiful, and aloof blue (one of two) to Go's reckless and flashy red. |
| 333 | * RedemptionPromotion: [[spoiler:After his HeelFaceTurn, Chase becomes TheJuggernaut for the heroes kicking ass and taking names without pause.]] |
| 334 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Formerly the Roidmudes' greatest enemy; now their dreaded enforcer.]] |
| 335 | * TheRival: [[http://kamenriderdrive.tumblr.com/post/98733690985/the-cover-for-the-latest-hyper-hobby-features This magazine scan]] compares Drive and Chaser to Series/KamenRiderBlack and Shadow Moon. Emphasized in #10, where he has a Showa-style monologue about how fighting Drive will help his memory process that echoes that to something Shadow Moon or another enemy of the classic Kamen Riders would say. |
| 336 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He dies in battle with Banno, loyal to the end to protecting his friends and all of humanity]]. |
| 337 | * SignificantDoubleCasting: Chase's live actor is also the voice of [[spoiler:Proto-Drive.]] |
| 338 | * SixthRanger: To the Roidmudes at first since he's a different type of Roidmude to begin with. In #17, Medic explains that she altered his programming so that Chase now protects Roidmudes instead of humans. After his reformation as a hero, Chaser becomes the series' resident Tertiary Rider, joining forces with the protagonists in their battle against his former brethren. |
| 339 | * SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: He's heavily upgraded by Brain and Medic over the first two cours of the show, and keeps his enhancements when he switches sides. |
| 340 | * StealthHiBye: He is usually pulling the camera focus variety of stealth hi, but doesn't seem to be aware it. The most sudden one was when he somehow dropped on the Tridoron's hood out of nowhere. |
| 341 | * TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Chase attempts to take Gold Drive down with him as his body explodes]]. [[spoiler:[[SenselessSacrifice It didn't work]], much to Go's [[UnstoppableRage chagrin]].]] |
| 342 | * ThouShaltNotKill: In #14, he starts hearing Krim's voice in his head, saying the words "Protect the humans". It's later revealed he can't kill humans because it's part of his programming. |
| 343 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Go. MySisterIsOffLimits and some well-meaned animosity being at play, no one can really blame them. They usually avoid each other unless the need arises. |
| 344 | * TokenHeroicOrc: Chase is a Roidmude but has a heart of justice and is one of the few Kamen Riders who was never human in any way. |
| 345 | * TomatoInTheMirror: Every time he fights Drive he feels a stirring within himself, eventually culminating in the reveal that he was the original Drive. |
| 346 | * TookALevelInBadass: One aspect of Chase that makes him such a dangerous villain, and an even better hero, is that he never stops taking levels in badass. |
| 347 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Very unusually for the continuity-heavy ''Drive'', the show never explains how Chase survived his defeat at Type Formula's hands despite his Core exploding on-screen. |
| 348 | * VillainsActHeroesReact: An inverted-role example. Whenever Drive has a Roidmude on the ropes, you can be sure that Mashin Chaser will come and put a stop to it. |
| 349 | * VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Balls to the wall averted. Chase continues to get upgrades of his own all throughout the show, readily keeping pace with Drive and blowing far past Mach. |
| 350 | * VocalDissonance: With his bishonen looks, you would expect him having a rather high voice, instead his voice is rather deep. This is a result of Taiko Katono purposefully deepening his voice, and he noticeably speaks in a more cheerful tone and higher pitch to portray [[spoiler: "happy" Chase in the Chase special.]] |
| 351 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: His gradually increasing feelings for Kiriko spurred his HeelFaceTurn, and late in the series he begins to ask this question directly. |
| 352 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Besides Heart, Kiriko and Shinnosuke are the only ones who treat Chase like an actual person for most of the show. Even after he switches sides, Krim is largely ambivalent to his presence and actively discourages Chase from trying to become more human as he believes that doing so will compromise on his performance as a fighting machine. |
| 353 | * WhenHeSmiles: In #39 during a driving lesson. Giving his allies a thumbs up to wish him good luck for a test. Creepy, huh? |
| 354 | * WistfulAmnesia: In #14. he exclaims that he remembers Kiriko somehow, and he also [[spoiler:hears Krim's voice in his head.]] |
| 355 | ** As it turns out, [[spoiler:Chase is ''still'' under the effects of this. His memories from before the Global Freeze are locked up within Proto-Drive's Shift Car, and he can't access them until it's repaired.]] |
| 356 | * WorfHadTheFlu: As Chaser, the only reason Go is able to beat him is because Chase doesn't want to hurt humans anymore. |
| 357 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: His job is to enforce this trope on other Roidmudes, making them start over so they might POSSIBLY be useful again one day. |
| 358 | |
| 359 | !!!Tropes exclusive to him as Mashin Chaser |
| 360 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krdr_mashinchaser.png]] |
| 361 | [[caption-width-right:210:''Brake Up!'']] |
| 362 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/super_chaser.png]] |
| 363 | [[caption-width-right:210:''Tune Rhino! Super Break Up!'']] |
| 364 | * BoringButPractical: His Break Gunner doesn't have the flashiest activation for when he transforms, but it can be used as both a projectile and melee weapon regardless of his current state. And while his Chaser Viral Cores don't afford him a wide variety of powers (Drive) or mods that can change the flow of battle (Mach), they do a tremendous job at amping up the range and destructiveness of his all ready considerable combat abilities. |
| 365 | ** This continues into his SuperForm, while he isn't capable of accessing his Chaser Viral Cores while in this state, it gives him an improved close-ranged option in the Rhino Strizer added to the Break Gunner, while the boost to his Gun Mode and increased strength the form gives him lets him remain just as dangerous despite the further reduction of options. |
| 366 | * EvilKnockoff: Apparently, Chaser's design is based on Proto-Drive. [[spoiler:More precisely, he ''is'' Proto-Drive.]] |
| 367 | ** Mashin Chaser is initially an inversion of the Kamen Rider concept. The original Kamen Rider [[PhlebotinumRebel was a hero who uses the same powers as the monsters he fought.]] Chase is on the monsters' side, and he uses the powers of the hero ''they'' fought. [[spoiler:It's played with when it's revealed Chase was actually Proto-Drive.]] |
| 368 | * GoldenSuperMode: His Super Mashin Chaser form, gained during Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser after Angel gives him the Rhino Super Viral Core to compensate for the loss of his ability to transform into his Kamen Rider form. Like Gold Drive, this form is the "Mashin Chaser" equivalent to the Roidmude's Super Evolution State. |
| 369 | * FinishingMove: Activates finishers called "Full Breaks". |
| 370 | ** '''Execution Spider''': Consists of an energized slash with the [[AllThereInTheManual Fang Spidey]]. |
| 371 | ** '''Execution Cobra''': Chaser detaches the Tail Whipper off of him, with said weapon striking the foe multiple times hood first. |
| 372 | ** '''Execution Bat''': The Wing Sniper attaches to Chaser's back, and Chaser comes in with a DivingKick. |
| 373 | ** '''Super Blade''': Chaser fires several golden blasts from the Break Gunner, and then finishes off his opponent with a stab from the Rhino Strizer. |
| 374 | * MixAndMatchWeapon: The Break Gunner is his [[TransformationTrinket transformation device]], [[PowerFist knuckle]], and gun all in a single one-handed gadget. Combined with Viral Cores, it can give Chaser a special weapon that transforms into various modes depending on the Chaser Viral Core used: |
| 375 | ** '''Chaser Spider''': BladeBelowTheShoulder, with some SwordBeam added to the mix for the extra oomph. |
| 376 | ** '''Chaser Cobra''': Transforms from Chaser Spider by folding into itself to stimulate a hooded cobra and generating the whip part. |
| 377 | ** '''Chaser Bat''': EnergyBow. Transforms from Chaser Cobra by retracting the whip part and the "hood" spreads apart to simulate spiked wings. |
| 378 | ** '''Triple Tune''': AllYourPowersCombined: By inserting the Chaser Spider, then Chaser Bat, and finally Chaser Cobra, he gains a hybrid weapon of the above three called the [[AllInTheManual Dead Liberation]]. |
| 379 | ** '''Rhino Super''': BayonetYa. Unlike the other Chaser Viral Cores, its generated from the Viral Core's "horn" automatically when he transforms into Super Mashin Chaser. |
| 380 | * PowerCopying: He is able to use any of Drive's Shift Cars against him, as poor Max Flare found out... |
| 381 | ** This gets turned on him in #14, when Mach's Ride Macher combines with the Mach Chaser to form the Ride Crosser under Mach's control. |
| 382 | ** It works against him again in #16, when Drive deliberately has him use Deco Traveler; causing him to get distracted by the flashy kabuki stage that appeared. |
| 383 | * PowerGivesYouWings: Whenever he uses a Chaser Viral Core, the weapons will first emerge from his back in the form of [[GoodWingsEvilWings purple devil wings]] and then morph into his weapon. The Chaser Bat is specifically meant to equip powered wings. |
| 384 | * PunnyName: A play on the word "Machine", and the kanji used can mean "advanced demon". |
| 385 | * {{Shinigami}}: Often introduces himself as one, which a fansub translates as TheGrimReaper. [[TheDreaded Most Roidmudes have taken that to the heart.]] |
| 386 | ** Interestingly, he says that Drive is more of a reaper than he is as Drive kills Roidmudes while Chase only "resets" them. |
| 387 | * StealthPun: In ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser'', he gets access to a new Viral Core called the Rhino Super. Given that Chaser is based on a virus, it could also be called a ''Rhinovirus''. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | |
| 390 | !!!Tropes exclusive to him as Kamen Rider Chaser |
| 391 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krdr_chaser.png]] |
| 392 | [[caption-width-right:210:''Rider: Chaser!'']] |
| 393 | * BoringButPractical: He has the ability to use Drive and Mach's wide selection of Shift Cars and Signal Bikes, but prefers to use his own. Signal Chaser allows him to transform and use his FinishingMove while Shift Speed Prototype simply boosts his attack power and speed for a brief period of time. |
| 394 | * FashionableAsymmetry: His helmet retains some of the chrome engine parts from his Mashin Chaser suit on the left side, but is smooth and purple on the right. |
| 395 | * FinishingMove: Has his own set of "Full Throttle" finishers. |
| 396 | ** '''Across Breaker''': Chaser inserts the Signal Chaser Signal Bike into the Shingou-Ax where, after waiting for the weapon to charge, it gives out an energized slash that rends all in its path. |
| 397 | ** '''Chaser End''': Chaser's Rider Kick, which he used to clash with Mach's Rider kick. |
| 398 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: The first time he transformed and cemented his HeelFaceTurn, his Mashin Chaser suit burst off him to reveal his Kamen Rider Chaser suit. |
| 399 | * LightningBruiser: Oh my yes. Chaser is a juggernaut, punching harder than anything Drive has, kicking harder than any of the Dead Heat forms, jumps close to Type Formula's maximum jumping height (a solid 5 meter of distance in between them), and has a running speed that's minutely faster than the Dead Heat forms' base speed. Only Drive Type Tridoron has higher stats than Chaser. |
| 400 | * PaletteSwap: He's a paradoxically darker and shinier version of Kamen Rider Mach, but with a unique helmet and color scheme with a different placement for his Shift Tire and a pair of decorated shoulder guards. |

| 403 | [[folder:Medic]] |
| 404 | !!009 Medic Roidmude |
| 405 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Fumika Baba (live), Toshihiro Ogura (suit) |
| 406 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medic_4.png]][[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medic_roidmude.png]][[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medic_roidmude_0.png]] |
| 407 | A female Roidmude who joins Heart and Brain in searching for the "Promised Number." Previously, she was in a "sleep" state, but Volt Roidmude created a device to gather enough amount of lighting to wake her up. Now, with her powers to heal and restore Roidmudes defeated by the heroes, she is a valuable asset to Heart and Brain. |
| 408 | ---- |
| 409 | * AlasPoorVillain: Friend and foe alike are shocked when she gets [[spoiler:mindwiped and brainwashed by Banno]]. Even ''Brain'' mourns her loss, which confuses him since he hated her. |
| 410 | * ArcVillain: Despite the three Executors being officially equal in rank (and ''un''officially Heart is their leader), Medic became the main enemy up until Freeze was introduced - Heart didn't know the details of what she was up to, and Brain did know but was powerless to stop her. |
| 411 | * BackFromTheDead: Unlike other Roidmudes defeated during Global Freeze, she needed to be resurrected through Heart's gambit. |
| 412 | * TheBadGuysWin: Despite Drive stopping Volt's plan, Medic absorbed enough stolen electricity to be revived. |
| 413 | * {{Ballet}}: [[spoiler:Influenced from the human she copied,]] practically every movement from her is like a dance move. Unfortunately there's no DanceBattler or SheFu in her first real fight, just a lot of CombatTentacles. |
| 414 | * BerserkButton: It only took Drive merely scratching her with the Handle Sword to get her to reveal her Roidmude form. |
| 415 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: To Heart, she's the sweetest thing ever. Everyone else, up and including other Roidmudes, she treats with disdain ''at best''. [[spoiler:Although this wasn't completely her fault.]] |
| 416 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Banno, [[HeelFaceDoorSlam right before what could have been a HeelFaceTurn]]. ''Everyone'' mourns her, shockingly. If not for Brain's BatmanGambit, she would have died in this fashion]]. |
| 417 | * CantTakeCriticism: For all the insults she slings out, the one time Drive calls her out on her plans, her face quickly turns into a scowl. |
| 418 | ** [[spoiler:001 seems to be well aware of this aspect of her personality, and when she mockingly (but as always politely) suggests he's panicking because his identity has been discovered by the Riders he shuts her up with a bout of [[EvilLaugh laughter]].]] |
| 419 | * CombatMedic: Her main duty is the repairing and upgrading of other Roidmudes, but she's hardly a slouch when it comes to fighting - even approaching DanceBattler territory in her second fight (with the dance being ballet, of course). |
| 420 | * DarkerAndEdgier: After her aspirations for genocide are revealed, all of her perkiness disappears. |
| 421 | * DarkActionGirl: Yes, Medic is an evil bitch but that doesn't mean she can't fight. |
| 422 | * DissonantSerenity: She makes her debut to the heroes by dancing in the flames from the explosion of a fellow Roidmude, right in front of two guys who would eagerly destroy her there and now. All the while mocking Mr Belt for his current state with a calm smile on her face. |
| 423 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: She realizes just how futile resetting Roidmudes can be, [[spoiler:so her plan is to cull the Roidmudes to only a select few, counting herself and Heart]]. |
| 424 | * DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:Reverts to her original pure form before healing Shinnosuke and dying thanks to Sigma.]] |
| 425 | * ElegantGothicLolita: Her human form dresses is an elegant black dress. |
| 426 | * EtherealWhiteDress: |
| 427 | ** She first appeared this way following taking her human's identity, until she was corrupted by the negative emotions of the Roidmudes she healed. [[spoiler:Heart referred to her as a goddess when she first appeared, in comparison to the devil in the present.]] |
| 428 | ** [[spoiler:She takes this appearance on [[KilledOffForReal one last time]] while [[HeroicSacrifice healing a grievously wounded Shinnosuke]].]] |
| 429 | * EvilWearsBlack: Played with. [[spoiler:Her clothing originally starts off as white, but as she continued to use her healing powers, she absorbed negative energy from other Roidmudes and became corrupted herself, signified by her white clothes becoming black.]] |
| 430 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She's polite and elegant...and has no true concern for anyone but herself and Heart. She's also prone to mocking and insulting people using the most polite and gentle words possible, [[spoiler:even 001, the first Roidmude]]. |
| 431 | * FlorenceNightingaleEffect: The relationship between Medic and Heart has shades of this. [[spoiler:It's justified when it's revealed that most Roidmudes except Heart are programmed with negative emotions, and Medic absorbs the emotions of Roidmudes she heals, so Heart is literally the only person who she can enjoy healing, because she absorbs his positivity and joy.]] |
| 432 | * HealingHands: She can absorb the Core of a Roidmude, presumably before destruction, to later restore back to it's evolved form. She can also heal Roidmudes regularly, as shown when she's tending to Heart's wounds. Late in the series it's revealed that she can heal humans and animals too. |
| 433 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Has this moment in helping Shinnosuke find out the true identity of the culprit attacking the human she copied, prior to being abducted by Banno, then BrainwashedAndCrazy temporarily. After Brain's HeroicSacrifice, she joins forces with Heart and Team Drive to fight a common enemy in Banno]]. |
| 434 | * HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Medic uses the last of her power to heal a seriously wounded Shinnosuke after both he and Heart fail to destroy Sigma Circular]]. |
| 435 | * HighClassGloves: They just add to her elegant image. |
| 436 | * {{Irony}}: Medic has the ability to heal other Roidmudes and bring them back from the brink of death, but she's one who decides to permanently kill off the ones she doesn't approve of [[EvenEvilHasStandards (something Brain or Heart have never considered doing)]]. |
| 437 | ** She's also fond of brainwashing others to get what she wants, [[spoiler:and her ultimate fate is to become Banno's puppet]]. |
| 438 | * {{Jerkass}}: If your name isn't Heart, she'll happily insult you just because she can. She cannot, however, take being insulted in return. |
| 439 | ** Revealed in #42 that [[spoiler:she wasn't like this to the Roidmudes when she wore white. When she healed all the Roidmudes defeated by Proto-Drive, she ended up absorbing their negative emotions.]] |
| 440 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Shinnosuke stops Go from killing her because she cares for Heart, despite said love causing her to demean and bully others, as well as committing genocide on her own kind for what she thinks is for Heart's sake. To make things worse, Heart forgives her, so she gets off scot-free for her genocidal plans.]] |
| 441 | ** [[spoiler:''However'', it was later revealed that her sociopathic tendencies were side effects coming from absorbing those whom she healed; Banno took advantage of this and unlocked her Ultimate Evolution, [[BrainwashedAndCrazy becoming his puppet]] in the process.]] |
| 442 | * KlingonPromotion: Non-lethal example. [[spoiler:Because she altered Chase's personality so that his directive is to protect ''Roidmudes'' instead of humans, the role of Reaper is empty. Convenient for her to take and execute her plans.]] |
| 443 | * KnightOfCerebus: While originally the PerkyFemaleMinion, after her plans for genocide are revealed she solidifies the show's CerebusSyndrome. |
| 444 | * LackOfEmpathy: She clearly only cares about two people: Herself, and Heart.[[spoiler:Not understanding why Heart is depressed over Chase's "death"]] is just one of the many examples of this. She could be as a {{Deconstruction}} of this trope, as [[spoiler:her inability to care about anyone who's not Heart ultimately ends up causing her to perform actions that leave him absolutely livid with her. Additionally, she originally ''was'' filled with empathy for others, but taking all their negative emotions into her corrupted her into what she is today.]] |
| 445 | * {{Lust}}: [[spoiler:Initially thought to be the unique emotion that allows Medic to evolve. It turns out to be Devotion.]] |
| 446 | * TheMedic: [[SarcasmMode How could you have ever guess?]] |
| 447 | * MadDoctor: While she starts off as the Roidmudes' healer, Medic later switches to modifying and mutating Roidmudes to make their ranks stronger. |
| 448 | * MadnessMantra: [[spoiler:After being mindwiped by Banno, all she can say is "I did it all for Mr. Heart." Over and over and over and over again, dully and without any emotion. [[CryForTheDevil Poor girl.]]]] |
| 449 | * ManipulativeBitch: Correct on both accounts. Upon finding out that Chase was freed from her brainwashing by Brain, she ups it to such a degree that Chase will kill ANYONE she tells him to. She then uses him to get the truth out of Brain...and for good measure burns his handkerchief just to be petty. Oh and of course, she conveniently lied about 072's ultimate fate, blaming Drive for his demise. |
| 450 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: Medic has aspirations to perform an ethnic cleansing on the Roidmudes removing 'flawed' members from their ranks and her Reaper Legion has disturbing undertones to the SS. |
| 451 | * NotSoStoic: She's greatly alarmed when [[spoiler:Mach manages to set Brain on fire]] and calls for immediate treatment of his injuries. |
| 452 | ** She also freaks out a bit when [[spoiler:Heart catches her in the act of using fellow Roidmudes as experiments with no regard for their lives.]] |
| 453 | * OfficialCouple: With Heart, and Brain is incredibly [[HoYay envious of her]] for it. |
| 454 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: In #15, she was actually worried when Brain was hurt when later episodes make it clear she doesn't care about his life. |
| 455 | ** Could be justified due to the fact that Heart values Brain as a close confidante and seeing him hurt would deeply worry Heart which is something Medic wants to avoid. |
| 456 | ** Finally justified when it's revealed that Medic [[spoiler:is tainted by the negative emotions of the Roidmudes she healed. Her concern for Brain back then may have been one of the last vestiges of her kindness briefly reappearing.]] |
| 457 | * PerkyFemaleMinion: Less energetic than usual, but she's certainly ([[DissonantSerenity sometimes disturbingly]]) upbeat. |
| 458 | * PetTheDog: This is how she got her human form as well as her powers in the first place; [[spoiler:after getting injured from a failed Global Freeze invasion, 009 met a women who was in a brink of death and copied her, along with her strong emotion of love. After healing her and bringing her out to safety, she also healed the dog the woman had the strong love towards.]] |
| 459 | * ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler:In #31, 001 states that the unique emotion that allowed Medic to evolve was Lust. It turns out to be pure, unconditional love, and that it was merely corrupted to Lust when she absorbed the negative emotions of the Roidmudes she healed.]] |
| 460 | * ProperTightsWithASkirt: Her human form looks like a well-dressed woman. |
| 461 | * ReforgedIntoAMinion: [[spoiler:Lobotomized into a loyal minion, courtesy of Banno.]] |
| 462 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female Roidmude seen, if you don't count Iron's GenderBender scene or 096 taking on a feminine voice. Angel is a female Roidmude, though Medic is still the only female Roidmude to be a main antagonist throughout the series, as Angel is the BigBad exclusively for the ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser'' special. |
| 463 | * TheSociopath: Being a Roidmude this is kind of a given, but despite her warm smile and poetic movements she's willing to do anything and everything to advance her goals and keep Heart happy. With the exception of Heart, none of her fellow Roidmudes mean anything to her. She eventually grows out of it by #42. |
| 464 | * SomethingAboutARose: When she teleports or changes form, it's with a visual effect that looks like rose bushes. |
| 465 | * SympathyForTheDevil: Shinnosuke comes to pity her, seeing how she just wants to ''love'' someone but is unable to without issues. |
| 466 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Even though the Roidmudes are far from being saints, as loyal as Medic is towards Heart, she isn't above disposing of her own kind. |
| 467 | * UndyingLoyalty: Appears to display this towards Heart. [[GreenEyedMonster Brain is not happy.]] |
| 468 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Started out as a genial Roidmude who heals her fellow Roidmudes, having then corrupted by the negative emotions she absorbed, leading to her being heartless to others that aren't Heart.]] |
| 469 | * WeHaveReserves: Considers all Roidmudes except herself and Heart to be completely disposable. |
| 470 | * WhenSheSmiles: She has quite a wide and warm smile when she's revived. She also has a tendency to smile while politely and gently insulting others, but 001 wiped the smile from her face instantly when she tried to mock him. |
| 471 | * {{Yandere}}: A complete one for Heart. She will do '''anything''' to keep him happy. |

| 478 | The first Roidmude, who prefers to stay in the background while others handle the day-to-day duties. He has infiltrated human government as Secretary of Defense Soichi Makage. Once his presence becomes known, this have gotten much more serious. |
| 479 | ---- |
| 480 | * AffablyEvil: First thing he says upon meeting Shinnosuke is telling him to keep up the good work. He also speaks highly of Kamen Rider Drive. |
| 481 | ** [[spoiler:When Shinnosuke directly confronts him and he reveals how Shinnosuke's father Eisuke opposed him, he sounds almost respectful, especially when he recounts how Eisuke's unyielding will actually forced him to falter.]] Both these cases might have something to do with the fact that he gets his powers from [[spoiler:being humiliated, which talking highly of your enemies can certainly do]]. |
| 482 | * AnIcePerson: Aside from his memory-freezing powers he also has ice powers of the regular garden variety. |
| 483 | * ArcVillain: After spending the first half of the series [[TheManBehindTheMan in the shadows]], Freeze takes the lead in the third quarter, which revolves around finding out his identity and unraveling his conspiracy. isand acts as to the other leaders. |
| 484 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The real man in charge of the Roidmudes and their real main asskicker. |
| 485 | * BadassInANiceSuit: His human form is often dressed in a very stylish suit and hat, with an overcoat wrapped around his shoulders. |
| 486 | * BatmanGambit: He relies on pushing the {{berserk button}}s for both Shinnosuke and Go to either take them out of the battle or [[spoiler:persuade them to their side]]. |
| 487 | * BigBad: He's the top dog of Roidmude uprising and driving force behind much of their early success. Although [[spoiler:he was the first of the major Roidmudes to be destroyed, he's still the one who enables the other executives to go forward with the Promised Number.]] |
| 488 | * CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Freeze's first defeat by Drive Type Formula Mantarn helped spark his Super Evolution.]] |
| 489 | * TheChessmaster: The man's been playing the game for over twelve years, moving many pieces to his desired outcome. |
| 490 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:001 developed the Hybrid Evolutions, a combination between a Roidmude and a human host. He is defeated by Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron, a combination between Shinnosuke (a human) and Mr. Belt (a cybernetic being not unlike a Roidmude).]] |
| 491 | * DiabolicalMastermind: Sponsors and provides cover to all criminal actions taken by the Roidmudes. |
| 492 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: He's one of the most powerful Roidmudes seen, TheManBehindTheMan to the other executives and the one keeping up TheMasquerade, but [[spoiler:he's the first of the Roidmude executives to fall, after which Heart resumes being the main antagonist, and the only one to not become part of the Promised Number.]] |
| 493 | * TheDreaded: Even more so then Heart. Krim is so afraid of Freeze that he causes a lot of internal conflict with Shinnosuke and the team in order to avoid facing him. |
| 494 | * EvilSoundsDeep: He has a low, intimidating, voice. |
| 495 | * {{Expy}}: Freeze blends traits from several of Riku Sanjo's prior villains, particularly [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Gamou]] and [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Ryubee]]. Like the [[BigBad Big Bads]] of those shows, he's an older gentleman in a position of authority that makes him inassailable and has powers responsible for maintaining TheMasquerade, but his role in the story and skill at enhancing Roidmudes are derived more from the ArcVillain from ''Double''. Blending these elements produces the twist that [[spoiler:when Freeze dies, so does his power, and Drive fully makes the transition to TheUnmasquedWorld]]. |
| 496 | ** Him being a charismatic, KnightOfCerebus [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] that manipulates everything to his liking, that has a misanthropic view of humanity harkens back to Riku Sanjo's first BigBad from ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'', The Great Demon Lord Vearn. |
| 497 | * FailureGambit: [[spoiler:Uses the humiliation felt from losing to his archenemy's son in order to obtain his Ultimate Evolution.]] |
| 498 | * FirstOfItsKind: The very first Roidmude. [[spoiler:Or at least one of the first.]] |
| 499 | * FusionDance: Invented Neo Viral Cores, which can fuse Roidmudes and humans together. |
| 500 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Kills both Shinnosuke and Mr Belt with a single attack in #32. Unfortunately for him, they both got better and destroyed him with Type Tridoron.]] |
| 501 | * KnightOfCerebus: Yes, Medic and Chase managed to darken the series with the reveal of hidden motives and brainwashing respectively, but 001 managed to put the show's plot into motion in his debut while the two had to wait several episodes to become the knight. [[spoiler:In the handful of episodes since his appearance, he's revealed he's been pulling the strings of the Japanese government, has successfully lured Go to serve him and also admitted he's the one who killed Shinnosuke's father]]. |
| 502 | * TheManBehindTheMan: He prefers to work from behind the scenes and have Heart be the Roidmudes' public leader. Medic observes that this makes him very reliable, but also very ominous. Considering that he's almost single-handedly kept ''everyone'' in the dark about the Roidmudes thanks to his memory alteration powers, she's got a very good point. |
| 503 | * MarkOfTheSupernatural: People who are memory wiped by Freeze are left with a snowflake-shaped scar on the right side of their necks, just below the ear. |
| 504 | * MemoryWipingCrew: This is his primary power: to alter or freeze people memories, with coupled with his high position in the government, allowed him to maintain TheMasquerade for so long. [[spoiler:The drawback is that it will wear off after some years if not maintained, and some people are able to flatout resist it.]] |
| 505 | * MoleInCharge: [[spoiler:He's one of the Roidmude leaders while also being Japan's Secretary of Defense.]] |
| 506 | * PowerOfHate: [[spoiler:Or at least Humiliation, his unique emotion that triggered his evolution.]] |
| 507 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Unlike other Advanced Roidmudes, he still uses his original Cobra-Type form sometimes. |
| 508 | * SinisterSchnoz: His Advanced Roidmude form has a big pointy nose. |
| 509 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: The rest of the Executors human forms dress in flamboyant clothing that wouldn't look out of place in a shonen manga on top of their outlandish personalities. In contrast, Freeze dresses and acts completely normal. As a Roidmude who prefers to stay in the background, this fits perfectly with his character. |
| 510 | * ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:Has this reaction when Drive returns to life and his new Type Tridoron completely overpowers Freeze's Ultimate Evolution. To be fair, it's kind of hard to predict someone coming back from ''the dead''.]] |
| 511 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As stated in [[Recap/KamenRiderDriveEp33WhoClaimedShinnosukeTomarisLife #33's recap]], everything that happened with Type Tridoron and Go's newly attained tablet is because of him... and it's because of him that [[spoiler:said tablet accelerates the extinction of the Roidmudes and nearly took over the world]]. |
| 512 | * VillainousFriendship: Has this with at least Heart and Brain, and a lesser extent to Medic and other Roidmudes. Brain's request for his help is partially responsible for why he's gotten involved in the conflict, and he not only urges Heart to seek out a path to Super Evolution, he freely admits Heart makes a far better ruler than he himself. |
| 513 | * VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler:While he died not long after, he was the first of the Roidmudes to obtain a Super Evolution. Neither the other Roidmudes nor [[GreaterScopeVillain Banno]] would have been able to enact their plans without him.]] |
| 514 | * XanatosGambit: Just about everything the heroes do seems to just play into his hands. [[spoiler:For example, he tasks the Open Roidmude with eliminating witnesses from a bank robbery from 12 years ago where he was involved. It seems as though it is a desperate attempt to cover his tracks, but it also gives Brain ample time to recruit Go to their side. He later reveals that even the discovery of his identity by Drive and Chase is simply another part of his plan, and he takes the precaution of having two of Medic's Reaper Unit with him to keep Chase busy until Mach arrives to engage him. This ensures his own confrontation with Drive will go uninterrupted. It all culminates in his Ultimate Evolution.]] |

| 520 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_004.png]] |
| 521 | |
| 522 | An enigmatic Executive who, sometime after the Global Freeze, went [=MIA=] and was out of contact with Heart. He had secretly been reprogrammed by Banno to serve as the agent of his revival, and to that end he copied Krim Steinbelt at the moment of the latter's death in order to obtain all of his knowledge. His attire in his human guise is nearly identical to that of "Future Krim". |
| 523 | ---- |
| 524 | * ActionBomb: His final move. |
| 525 | * CombatAndSupport: As he is a Low-Class combatman, he is the support to Gold Drive's combat in #43, where he uses the stolen Door Gun to weaken Kamen Rider Drive. |
| 526 | * TheDragon: He is Banno/Gold Drive's right-hand man and sleeper agent inside the Roidmudes. |
| 527 | * EnigmaticMinion: Spends most of the show off the grid, with not even the Roidmude executives aware of where he is or what he's doing. Turns out, he's really working for Banno. |
| 528 | * EvilGenius: In addition to serving Banno, 004 copied Krim's intelligence and ingenious brain. He uses this to help Banno create some evil inventions. |
| 529 | * EvilIsHammy: Compare him to regular Krim. |
| 530 | * EvilKnockoff: Just like most of Banno's other works of self-proclaimed scientific genius, 004 is a ripoff of something of Krim's genius. In this case, 004 is a ripoff of ''Krim himself''. |
| 531 | * EvilWearsBlack: In his human form. |
| 532 | * FourIsDeath: Indicated by his number, helping the villain of the series and the way he died within the series. |
| 533 | * GadgeteerGenius: 004 was made to become this by copying Krim's data, obtaining all of his intelligence and this trope in the process. As a GadgeteerGenius, 004 assists Banno in reverse engineering the Drive Driver and creating the Sigma Circular. |
| 534 | * GratuitousEnglish: This trope was copied from Krim in addition to being a GadgeteerGenius. |
| 535 | * IncomingHam: ''"Yesss..."'' |
| 536 | * {{Irony}}: The Promised Number is 4, as in four Roidmudes who reached [[GoldenSuperMode Ultimate Evolution]], but even so, 004 is not among the numbers. However, it is justified; as 004 already has a completely different role, he has no need to keep up with other Roidmudes to evolve all the way. |
| 537 | * LargeHam: Like with "Future Krim", Chris Peppler goes buck wild with his performance while playing 004. |
| 538 | * MadeOfIron: Survived Kamen Rider Drive's FinishingMove when he was in Tridoron Form and using Attack 1, 2, 3. |
| 539 | * PuppetKing: In the BadFuture, he [[spoiler:pretends to lead a Roidmude army in his Steinbelt disguise while Banno (who's actually in charge) wrecks havoc as Gold Drive thereby posthumously tarnishing the reputations of both Krim and Shinnosuke in the eyes of what is left of humanity.]] |
| 540 | * TheQuietOne: Did not speak a single word as he grabbed the Drive Driver from Shinnoske and and helped Banno build a copy from it. Once he reveals his human disguise, however... |
| 541 | * SatelliteCharacter: His role is centered around Banno's plan. Justified, as Banno created him to be his personal servant. |
| 542 | * SelfDestructMechanism: Self-destructs to try and kill the Riders and Roidmude higher ups. |
| 543 | * SpidersAreScary: And oh boy is he. He never evolved, and is secretly colluding with Banno. |
| 544 | * WalkingSpoiler: Much like his creator, you can't discuss him without bringing up spoilers. |

| 549 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Nobuo Masuda (male form) and Iyo Sawai (female form) (live), Kazuya Okada (suit) |
| 550 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iron_roidmude.png]] |
| 551 | |
| 552 | The first Roidmude that Shinnosuke faces. Starting as a Cobra-type Roidmude, he was apparently killing people together with 042 (Spider-type) and 088 (Bat-type), almost succeeding and leaving their bodies with red skin. Kamen Rider Drive stopped the trio's next attack, but 029 survived his FinishingMove and was given another chance by Heart thanks to another Cobra Viral Core. Eventually, Shinnosuke figured out that 029 had been kidnapping people with "perfect" physical traits in order to copy them and get more powerful. The apparent victims mentioned earlier only suffered a side effect when 029 rejected their physical bodies. |
| 553 | ---- |
| 554 | * AllThereInTheManual: He is never called the Iron Roidmude on-screen. |
| 555 | * AmusementParkOfDoom: His hideout, where he keeps all the kidnapped people whose traits he copied. |
| 556 | * AppropriatedAppellation: He is the one that calls Shinnosuke a Kamen Rider. |
| 557 | * AlwaysMurder: The police had this mindset when they first investigated the case relating 029, thinking that the people in comas were attempted killings. Shinnosuke later realized that they were doing it wrong. |
| 558 | * BadBoss: He had two sets of two Roidmude Mooks. He got both sets killed. |
| 559 | ** He also kicked aside one Roidmude after the first two Mooks got floored by a Turbo Smash. |
| 560 | * GenderBender: Showcases the Roidmude's power of transformation this way. |
| 561 | * KilledOffForReal: He is finally defeated by Drive's [[FinishingMove Type Speed Hunter's Full Throttle]], [[MegatonPunch JustiSmash]]. |
| 562 | * ThePerfectionist: He will only kidnap "perfect" people. If a victim will happen to have even the slightest cold, 029 will deem him a waste of time and put him in a coma. |
| 563 | * PowerFist: Upon evolving, several of his new powers exhibit through his hands. |
| 564 | * PurpleIsPowerful: Played with. Upon evolving into Iron, his new body is mainly purple and he becomes much stronger... though not enough to survive a direct confrontation with Drive. [[note]]As stated on the main page, this is a MythologyGag regarding Cobra Man, a monster from the original Series/KamenRider. He was defeated by Ichigo, but came back in a much more powerful (and purple) form. Iron, before transformation, was a Cobra-type Roidmude.[[/note]] |
| 565 | * RedHerring: A civilian was thought to be behind the attacks when he was, in reality, one of the people kidnapped from their ideal physical traits. |
| 566 | * SerialKiller: What the team initially thought they were dealing with, when the found victims were left in a coma and their skins red. |
| 567 | * TerribleTrio: Before evolving, 029 was first seen together with 042 and 088. After evolving, he had 071 and 093. |

| 572 | |
| 573 | A Roidmude that impersonated an artist in order to capture young females in his paintings. He is especially interested in Kiriko, which started when he was a Spider Roidmude. 084 (Spider-type) was his apprentice with similar powers. After 084 was busted in the team's investigation of kidnapped women, the Paint Roidmude tried to escape with the help of Chase but got one-upped by Kamen Rider Drive and Kiriko. |
| 574 | ---- |
| 575 | * AndIMustScream: The fate of all the women he captured - being trapped in paintings. |
| 576 | * ArtAttacker: Paint can use his powers to turn and reform objects and people into data with his paint. |
| 577 | * FashionableAsymmetry: His Roidmude form, though he would probably call it 'avant-garde". |
| 578 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He was about to leave the area and get away... until his obsession with Kiriko got the better of him, resulting in his death. |
| 579 | * KilledOffForReal: Destroyed by Drive's [[FinishingMove Dream Vegas Drift Slash]] via the [[CoolSword Handle Sword]]. |
| 580 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: States it is Kiriko's terror that spawned his fascination with her and relishes her trauma induced fear of him, wanting to immortalize it. |
| 581 | * MadArtist: An obsessed with Avant-garde artist that traps his models in paintings, as well as a [[MonsterOfTheWeek Roidmude]], too. |
| 582 | * MoralMyopia: Calls Drive a thief and is pissed off at him for stealing his paintings...that are actually the women he ''kidnapped''. |
| 583 | * SmugSnake: Acts this way during the interrogation in #4, all but stating that the kidnapped girls are at his mercy. Shinnosuke quickly drops him down a peg or two. |
| 584 | * SymbolicBlood: The spot on his true form's coat, which taking his motif into account, may be interpreted as just a paint stain. |
| 585 | * VillainousBreakdown: Begins having one when he realizes his paintings were stolen behind his back. |
| 586 | * WeaksauceWeakness: The paintings with kidnapped women require constant supply of energy to keep them from escaping... [[spoiler:which can be done by simply unplugging them]]. |
| 587 | * WickedCultured: He truly sees himself as an extraordinary artist. |
| 588 | |
| 589 | !!023 Crash Roidmude |

| 591 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crash_roidmude.png]] |
| 592 | |
| 593 | A Roidmude with 074 (Cobra-type) and 060 (Spider-type) as his underlings. He is responsible for several attacks on armored vehicles belonging to food companies. As it turns out, at first it was just a random stunt to get some food. But he and his troupe happened to come by a truck belonging to the Font El company, which was smuggling explosives in it's deliveries. Upon eating and getting a major power-up from eating them, he started attacking any similar truck in hopes of getting his hands on more explosives. |
| 594 | ---- |
| 595 | * AddictionPowered: He is clearly addicted to the taste of those smuggled explosives, which give him a sudden power-up. |
| 596 | * ArmedBlag: His main modus operandi. |
| 597 | * BerserkMode: Whenever he gets his fill of explosives. |
| 598 | * BigEater: When we first see him, he apparently finished several plates worth of food. He is also shown to constantly carry a ''huge'' jar of sweets. Though by far his favorite food are explosives. |
| 599 | * CrazyConsumption: He will eat anything as long as it seems edible, up and including ''liquid explosives''. |
| 600 | * FatBastard: In human form. |
| 601 | * KilledOffForReal: Gets cut down by Drive's [[FinishingMove Drift Rotation]] as Type Wild. |
| 602 | * MadeOfIron: Literally. |
| 603 | * ShouldersOfDoom: Just look at him, those things are ''huge''. |
| 604 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Due to how Japanese katakana works, his name can be read as either "Crush" or "Crash". Seeing as he is a hammer-themed Roidmude that specializes in attacking trucks, [[{{Pun}} this may be intentional]]. |
| 605 | * PowerGlows: Every time he eats explosives, he will start glowing red. |
| 606 | * OneWingedAngel: 074 consumed a few more Cobra Viral Cores to transform into a gigantic cobra and help Crash Roidmude fight Drive and his Trideron. |
| 607 | * TerribleTrio: He has loyal lackeys in form of 074 (Cobra-type) and 060 (Spider-type). What's interesting is that these three actors compose a comedy trio called the Yasuda Dai Circus and that this series is not their first appearance as a TerribleTrio in a [[Series/TomicaHeroRescueForce tokusatsu show.]] |
| 608 | * VocalDissonance: One of his lackey Roidmudes, 074, as [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Drive. This actually the stage voice of Kuro-chan [[note]]real name Akihiro Kurokawa[[/note]], another member of the Yasuda Dai Circus. |
| 609 | |

| 612 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scooper_roidmude.png]] |
| 613 | A Roidmude that evolved shortly after the death of Crash, by absorbing Shunsuke Kusaka's passion for making scoops. After that he made several buildings collapse, so Kusaka can photograph them and give him even more power. He appears to be helping making him successful, but that's because his evolution is incomplete and will once in a while revert back to a Bat-type Roidmude. Once his evolution is complete, however, he turned against Kusada, only to be taken down by Kamen Rider Drive. |
| 614 | ---- |
| 615 | * CameraFiend: A rather literal take. |
| 616 | * CyberCyclops: If you don't count the camera lens on his torso. |
| 617 | * DemolitionsExpert: A rare, ''non-explosive'' variant. Scooper can use his powers to [[RealityWarper remove]] certain parts of buildings, causing them to collapse. |
| 618 | * ExploitedImmunity: Invoked onto Kusaka, his partner. Scooper Roidmude pasted a chip onto him to make him immune to the Slowdown effects. |
| 619 | * FashionableAsymmetry: Not even close to Paint's level, but still highly notable. |
| 620 | * KilledOffForReal: Eradicated with Drive's [[FinishingMove Speed Perfecshot]] via the Door Gun. |
| 621 | * LongNeck: And tilted at a bit of an angle, as well! |
| 622 | * RealityWarper: He can destroy objects by damaging their photos. |
| 623 | * PuppeteerParasite: Scooper took over Kusaka's mind, so he can feed on his scoops. |
| 624 | * StupidEvil: He could have continue his rampage unopposed, if he just didn't show up for no apparent reason at the site of the newest incident. |
| 625 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Towards Kusaka after his evolved form is permanent. |

| 632 | [[caption-width-right:250:'''Volt Ghost''']] |
| 633 | |
| 634 | An arsonist of a Roidmude, causing electrical fires until the Shift Fire Braver stopped his latest one. When he and his lackeys investigated, they ran afoul with Drive. But even death doesn't stop this Roidmude nor his plan, as he was able to copy some of his code into the machine he was using to gather electricity. He then "returned" to life, albeit only a shadow of his former shelf - a literal ghost. Volt Ghost aimed to fulfill plan of creating a city-wide total blackout, seemingly aiming to cause chaos on Christmas Eve. But his true goal was to absorb the power from the city for Heart's own ends. Even when he is put down for good and Christmas saved, he still succeeded in feeding enough energy to revive the third Roidmude Executive - Medic. |

| 641 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His human form was at first credited only as "Inventor Grandpa". |
| 642 | * EvilLaughter: Let loose some before dying. The first time around, anyway. |
| 643 | * KilledOffForReal: |
| 644 | ** He is defeated by Kamen Rider Drive's Rider Shooting with the Door Gun as Type Technic Gravity. [[OnlyMostlyDead Double Subverted in that he created a duplicate of himself before getting finished which was initially mistaken as his revival.]] |
| 645 | ** Volt Ghost finally bites it once and for all with Drive Type Speed's Speedrop with Tridoron Type Technic as the assist. |
| 646 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Thanks to him kidnapping Teruhiko and putting him into a device that would cause a city-wide electrical fire outbreak, which would immolate Teruhiko upon activation, Shinnosuke gained a TranquilFury so cold, it allowed him to access [[MagicKnight Type Technic]]. |
| 647 | * NoSell: During Drive's first fight with Volt, he could not get a Door Gun shot in. |
| 648 | * PsychoElectro: He is a very sadistic Roidmude who is not afraid to let loose some wattage. |
| 649 | * OneWingedAngel: Transformed into a Giant Spider Roidmude, but lost it later on fighting Type Technic Tridoron. |
| 650 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent[=/=]SoulJar: Volt doesn't actually revive in #10, rather the controller he was charging contained a copy of his code, [[LightningCanDoAnything and used some of the stolen electricity to craft a body to finish what he started.]] |
| 651 | * PyroManiac: One who specializes in ''electrical'' ones, at that! |
| 652 | * ScarsAreForever: Volt as Volt Ghost's Roidmude form after returning from the grave has most of his head on the left side missing, with some exposed wires as a result. |
| 653 | * ShockAndAwe: His main power, even before he evolved! |
| 654 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Without his help, Medic wouldn't have been revived. |
| 655 | * TerribleTrio: Formed one with 037 and 103. |

There they then started to sell Slowdown inducing armbands to low-level criminals. Their motive was to evolve 018, who gained more power by absorbing ill-gotten money, with Gunman serving as his bodyguard. The Roidmude brothers met their end after the Riders uncovered their plans and subsequently got send to kingdom come by Mach. |

| 697 | |
| 698 | Five years ago, a vigilante known as Judge ran a revenge-by-proxy website and took requests to assault victims. The vigilante supposedly committed suicide before he was caught, but Lt. Otta and his mentor Shingo Tachibana believed that Judge merely faked his death by throwing his scapegoat off a bridge. Their beliefs were apparently vindicated when this Roidmude appeared, claiming to be Judge. Not only did this Roidmude resume Judge's actions, he is also able to go after large groups. Otta vowed to track down the Roidmude and end the case of the Judge once and for all. As it turns out, the Judge Roidmude had taken the identity of Shingo Tachibana. It was merely impersonating the vigilante Judge in order to lure the real one out. The vigilante Judge is eventually exposed, and the Roidmude is destroyed by Drive. |

| 713 | A Roidmude responsible for several bombing attacks, each of with were announced to the police beforehand. He has the power to fire incredibly fast missiles and explosive darts. When he tried to use his missiles to bomb four places simultaneously, Drive foiled his plot and destroyed his body, but failed to actually kill Shoot and not before Shoot knocks Kamen Rider Mach out of commission with the heavy damaging of his Driver. Thanks to Brain, he gets a new body with the additional perk of adding poison to Shoot's weapons. He then proceeds to stalk and trying to kill his human accomplice Mogi, as the old bomb threats are now boring to him. He faces off again against Mach, being able to defeat him again, thanks to the toxin. Their next confrontation didn't turn out well for Shoot, though - while he managed to poison him again, Go used Deadheat's ExplosiveOverclocking to burn the poison out of his system, and managed to stay in control. He was then destroyed by the combined finishers of Mach Deadheat and Drive Type Formula. |

| 728 | A Bat-type Roidmude who evolved by bonding into an evil heart of a criminal through the usage of a Neo Viral Core. The criminal in question was Hajime Taga, previously arrested by Shinnoske's former partner Akira. 007 intercepted one of his police transportation and offered him Neo Viral Core, allowing the two to fuse into Sword Roidmude. This allows Hajime to go after the hospitalized Akira in revenge, but Kamen Rider Drive stopped and defeated him, putting him back in jail. 007's Core, however, managed to survive thanks to the intervention of Roidmude 001, the creator of the Neo Viral Cores. When 007 hunted down Taga after gaining a new body and refuses with him to become Sword once again, he incapacitates Deadheat Mach, with Drive out of commission from an earlier bout with Mashin Chaser resulting in his left arm broken, and nearly kills Kiriko, only for Chase to arrive, and battles Sword, forcibly undos Sword's fusion, and destroys 007. |

| 731 | * AxCrazy: Neither side of the fusion is psychologically stable. |
| 732 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: His main weapons, well fitting someone called Sword. |
| 733 | * CurbStompBattle: He is on the receiving end of this twice; once by Drive outside the hospital, and the second with Kamen Rider Chaser, with both times resulting in Sword becoming de-fused. |
| 734 | * DemotedToExtra: 007 was among the 9 Roidmudes who planned led the Global Freeze. In his debut, he followed 001 instead and ends up becoming a fodder. |
| 735 | * FighterMageThief: The first of the initial three Hybrid Evolutions, he fulfills the Fighter role. |
| 736 | * FusionDance: Via the Neo Viral Core, 007 attained his evolved form through bonding with Hajime. |
| 737 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Tries to pull this on Kiriko, but Chase averts this by slamming the Ride Chaser into Sword to send the fused Roidmude flying. |
| 738 | * InLoveWithYourCarnage: He seeks out, saves and then fuses with Taga because of his murderous nature. |
| 739 | * KilledOffForReal: Is rended asunder by Kamen Rider Chaser's [[FinishingMove Across Breaker]] with the Shingou-Ax. |
| 740 | * NotQuiteDead: Survives his bout with Drive thanks to Roidmude 001. Averted one episode later. |

| 749 | A Spider-type Roidmude who, through the use of a Neo Viral Core, can amplify the hatred in people, causing them to rage against one another. He is searching a perfect candidate to record the fiercest anger, while the losers fall into comatose, having done so to over 80 people already, with a young woman named Yoriko being related to a missing person. When Go busts his fourth attempt, he's backed by Roidmudes 078 (Spider-type) and 082 (Cobra-type), but when Chaser comes in for the assist when Mach was getting mobbed by three Roidmudes, Mach loses it and goes after Chaser, as according to Seeker's plan. After Drive defuses the situation, the Roidmude attacks again at another complex, with Go working on stopping the rampages as Mach Tomarle. Once he found Yoriko's brother, the "brother" confesses he [[spoiler:never had a sister, revealing the trap: Yoriko had worked with a Roidmude to find the fiercest anger]], and found it in Go. Goading him into attacking them after fusing into Seeker, Chaser and Drive played interference, with Drive defusing the situation once more and goes on the offense. After beating Seeker hard enough as Type Formula Mantarn to separate [[spoiler:Yoriko, real name Reiko Nishihori]], and 050, allowing Drive to destroy the Roidmude and arrest the host. |

| 757 | ** One of the conduits of the Hate Plague is the mark on Seeker's hands, which can be transmitted like a virus through common touch. |
| 758 | * HumansAreTheRealMonsters: Says this in #27 after unleashing the HatePlague, and provides an example of this in themselves by the inherent nature of Fusion Evolution Roidmudes. |

| 770 | A Hybrid Evolution combined with Itsuro Neigishi, one of the robbers from a bank robbery that happened 12 years ago. Said robber happens to be the man responsible for the death of Shinnosuke's father, Detective Eisuke Tomari, making this personal. He has been on a crime spree robbing banks, each one caped with a dead employee. As it turns out, Open's true motive was to eliminate anyone involved with the robbery from 12 years ago, the attacks serving as a cover-up. He was found out, and 067 met his and at Chaser and Drive Type Formula's double [[FinishingMove Full Throttle]] attack, with Neigishi ending up in police custody. |
| 771 | ---- |
| 772 | * BankRobbery: His M.O., both in the past as a normal criminal and in the present as a Roidmude collaborator. |
| 773 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Shinnosuke suspects this when he notices a mark on Neigishi's neck that shows that he was a victim of 001's memory alteration powers. |
| 774 | * CopKiller: Allegedly the man who shot and killed Shinnosuke's father during a botched robbery 12 years ago. |
| 775 | * FighterMageThief: Completing the trio of the first three Roidmudes that evolved using the Neo-Viral Cores, he's the Thief,[[spoiler:but actually he is an Assassin.]] |
| 776 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: His main power is to telekinetically open anything that ''can'' be opened. A very useful ability for a [[BankRobbery bank robber]], but it's also very effective in a fight against the Riders. |
| 777 | * KilledOffForReal: 067 met his end via Type Formula's Trailer Impact. |
| 778 | * OpenSesame: Played with, as Open Roidmude can open anything that opens and closes by simply saying "Open", but it may be just a VerbalTic. |
| 779 | * SkeletonKey: He carries one, though he doesn't have to put it into any locks - he just have to turn it to unlock, well, ''anything''. |
| 780 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: Believing he no longer has a future due to his past as a cop killer, Neigishi freely sides with the Roidmudes. It isn't clear how much of this is his own decision, and how much is due to ''urging'' by 001. |
| 781 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: He pursues his former partner, who doesn't understand how the man that was practically an older brother to him could change so much. |

| 795 | * GiantMook: After being split from his human host by Drive Type Tridoron's Technic-Hou Trailer Impact, Brain threw Bat Viral Core at him as distraction, while Brain and [[spoiler:Nira]] escaped. |
| 796 | * LegacyCharacter: After 106 is destroyed, Brain uses a Neo-Viral Core to fuse with the deceased Roidmude's human host. However, he did so only so that he could absorb the host's negative emotions to achieve his [[SuperMode Ultimate Evolution]]. |
| 797 | ** Somewhat. Brain completely intended to fuse with Thief's human host, thinking that their shared emotion would make them unbeatable. His genuine shock at getting his Ultimate Evolution proves that his ascension was entirely accidental. Brain still uses this form for a while to hide his Ultimate Evolution from the heroes temporarily. |
| 798 | * KilledOffForReal: 106 is killed by Drive via Booster Tridoron with a Max Flare Tire Extension. This does not mean the Thief Roidmude form is gone, however. |

As it turns out, Cook is working with Medic to develop a serum to help Roidmudes achieve Ultimate Evolution, the serum also doubling as a heavenly sauce named Honfleur Sunset used at Supreme. |
| 806 | ---- |
| 807 | * BadBoss: When his underling protested using 090, Matsutaro Okumura fused with her and attacked him. |
| 808 | * ChefOfIron: The food prepared by him is sublime, mostly thanks to the Hunfleur Sunset, and he can kick Rider ass no problem. |
| 809 | * HandCannon: In reward for his services, Medic turns Cook left arm into such an appendage. |
| 810 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: 090's human host goes along with the Roidmudes because he is in love with 090. This revelation causes Drive to hesitate when he manages to separate the pair, as the host pleads with him not to kill her. |
| 811 | * PsychoSerum: While totally ineffective on humans (save for tasting absolutely delicious), Honfleur Sunset has this effect of Roidmudes. It drives them berserk and causes them to spontaneously combust after a period of time. |

| 866 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reaper_legion.png]] |
| 867 | After Medic [[spoiler:changed Chase's primary programming, and thus made him unable to continue his duties as a Reaper]], she took upon herself to subdue rogue Roidmudes. For that reason she formed the Reaper Legion - a division of remodeled Low-Class Roidmudes of any type, who now serve as the enforcers of the Executives, with Medic as their leader. Thanks to the upgrades received from her, the members of the Legion are far more powerful combatants than your ordinary Low-Class Roidmude, and twice more ruthless. |
| 868 | |
| 869 | The first two members of Medic's Reaper Legion are 044 and 094. After she defended herself from Drive Type Dead Heat Flare's Full Throttle by using them both as shields, she created a next batch as replacements, consisting of 034, 054 and 104. All three ended up destroyed by Mach, one being more immediate than the other two. 092 and 028 are later tasked with protecting 001, who expects to be attacked by Drive. They are swiftly dealt with by Kamen Rider Chaser. |

| 872 | * BodyguardingABadass: 092 and 028 are loaned to 001 to act as bodyguards, despite the fact they are nowhere near as powerful as the guy they're guarding. |
| 873 | * CreepyCockroach: Aside from [[TheGrimReaper reaper imagery]], this is their dominant design trait. |
| 874 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A StateSec founded to get rid of undesirables in a race led by a ANaziByAnyOtherName? Huh... |
| 875 | * DoomTroops: With their appearances combining death imagery and one of the most irrationally-feared insects in existence, these guys are clearly meant to instil fear in their targets. |
| 876 | * EliteMook: They answer directly to Medic as the new Roidmude Reapers. |
| 877 | * FacelessGoons: All of their features are obscured behind their cage-like helmets, giving them an unnervingly mysterious appearance. |
| 878 | * FourIsDeath: All members of the Reaper Legion have a number associated with the digit number 4. The batch sent [[spoiler:to protect the Freeze Roidmude]] were the first to subvert this. While their numbers didn't contain 4 in them, they were numbers that were ''divisible'' by 4. |
| 879 | * TheGrimReaper: If their division's name, capes and scythes didn't make it clear enough. |
| 880 | * OxymoronicBeing: Reaper-themed Roidmudes whose designs are based on cockroaches, which are infamous for their hardiness and difficulty to kill. |
| 881 | * SinisterScythe: Several members appropriately enough wield scythes [[AllThereInTheManual called]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Hell Scythes]]. |
| 882 | * ThirteenIsUnlucky: 013 is one of the Roidmudes in the Legion, which also fits the FourIsDeath theme as the sum of his individual digits is 4. |
| 883 | * WeHaveReserves: In the first episode they appear in, Medic uses two Reapers to block Drive's FinishingMove. |
| 884 | * WhatMeasureIsAMook: Surprisingly, the first batch of Reaper Legion were the first Roidmudes to catch on to this, even if they don't live long enough to act on it. |

| 891 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_005.png]] |
| 892 | [[quoteright:250:[[labelnote:SPOILER]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/revenger_roidmude.png[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 893 | A Roidmude that appeared in two of the {{Bonus Episode}}s. Just before the Global Freeze, he was tangentially involved in a case Shinnosuke was investigating. He was beaten by Proto-Drive, but six months later Heart and Brain resurrected him to fight Drive. He can fly and is also able to combine with a gun to enhance its fighting capabilities. |
| 894 | ---- |
| 895 | * ArmCannon: Is able to fuse a handgun onto his right arm to create this. |
| 896 | * BatOutOfHell: Keeping its animal form without evolving. |
| 897 | * {{BFG}}: Coming from its Handgun. |
| 898 | * BigBad: Of ''[[Recap/KamenRiderDriveSecretMissionTypeTVKun Secret Mission Type TV-KUN: Hunter & Monster! Chase the Mystery of the Super Thief!]]'', [[spoiler:''Kamen Rider Drive: ~Mach Saga~'']], and [[spoiler:''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach'']]. |
| 899 | * {{Determinator}}: The guy wants his revenge, and keeps going despite the heroes more or less killing him several times over. [[spoiler:Mach has to literally physically crush his Core after destroying his body ''again''.]] |
| 900 | * JackTheRipoff: Its methods are an almost exact copy of the criminal from [[Recap/KamenRiderDriveEpisode0CountdownToGlobalFreeze Episode 0]], the Copycat Pirate, who himself was a Jack the Ripoff. 005 even uses the same warehouse. Justified, as he absorbed the Pirate's knowledge and [[spoiler:he did it so he could draw out Shinnosuke, who previously faced the same criminal.]] |
| 901 | * KilledOffForReal: Outed by Drive Type Speed Hunter and a combination FinishingMove by the Justice Cage and the Monster, where the combination crushed 005 into oblivion. Or so it seemed... |
| 902 | ** Finally KilledOffForReal this time in ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach'' at the hands of [[spoiler:Mach Chaser]], having survived his previous defeat to [[spoiler:Super Dead Heat Mach in ''Kamen Rider Drive: ~Mach Saga~'']]. |
| 903 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: According to Brain, Proto-Drive's defeat of 005 allowed to stop the Global Freeze. This is because Proto-Drive was able to recover 005's Viral Core, which let him access 005's memories. |
| 904 | * {{Revenge}}: The human it copied wanted revenge on Shinnosuke, and the Roidmude itself wanted revenge on the Kamen Rider who beat it. Later, [[spoiler:when he returns in ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach'', this is literally his motif, being the Revenger Roidmude]]. |
| 905 | |
| 906 | !!051 Bat-type Roidmude |
| 907 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Oga Taro |
| 908 | |
| 909 | A Roidmude who became a robber. While Heart and Brain have no problems with Roidmudes committing crimes, they cannot afford them to make a ruckus. As the result, they, together with Chase, chase 051 into an abandoned warehouse to destroy him, sending him back to square one. He copied the data of a criminal, [[spoiler:Toshio Miwa, the same human whose data was copied by Roidmude 077]]. |
| 910 | ---- |
| 911 | * ArchNemesis: Has a small case of this with Chase. [[spoiler:His body was destroyed not once, not twice, but three times by Chase himself.]] The first time was at the hands of Chase [[spoiler:as Proto-Drive]], the second time was by Mashin Chaser, and the third time, his body and core were destroyed by [[spoiler:Super Mashin]] Chaser. |
| 912 | * BankRobbery: His "choice career". It didn't go well over the Executives. [[spoiler:During Global Freeze and even after Brain reset him, his greed for money is still there.]] |
| 913 | * DeathOfPersonality: His first fate when the duo suspect he could be blowing their cover. |
| 914 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Didn't take his "sentence" lightly, and threw Paint under the bus (somewhat) while he was at it. |
| 915 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Brutally killed by Chou Mashin Chaser's Full Break/Brake.]] |
| 916 | * KilledOffscreen: His final fate happened sometime before the events of [[Recap/KamenRiderDriveEp43WhenWillTheSecondGlobalFreezeStart #43]]. Subverted when we see his death in the Chaser special, at the hands of [[spoiler:Super Mashin]] Chaser. |
| 917 | * LowerDeckEpisode: He returns in ''Drive Saga'', and this time he's trying to take revenge against Chase, who has now become Kamen Rider Chaser. |
| 918 | * MoneyFetish: Has an obsession of having money to point the Executives find it problematic. |
| 919 | |
| 920 | !!018 Spider-type Roidmude |
| 921 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Marvin Jr. |
| 922 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_018.png]] |
| 923 | After failing to deal with the Riders, Gunman focuses on helping 018 evolve, with Chase tasked to back them up. 018 sells Density Shift Braces and feed on the customers' greed by absorbing the earned money while being guarded by Gunman and Chase, but unfortunately for them, their scheme was busted by Kamen Rider Mach and he was destroyed before he could evolve. |
| 924 | |
| 925 | 018 and Gunman's relationship are unique among the Roidmudes due to who they copied their human form with. Their disguise are based on a smuggling brothers where the younger one make business, while the older one acts as his bodyguard. |
| 926 | ---- |
| 927 | * FatBastard: In his human form. |
| 928 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Again, in his human guise. |
| 929 | * TheIdiotFromOsaka: His human form is based on the moneygrubbing variant. |
| 930 | * KilledOffForReal: Was destroyed by Mach Magarl shooting down his Core at the same time as Gunman after the latter Rider destroyed their bodies as Mach Kaksarn with a Hit Macher Full Throttle from the Zenrin Shooter. |
| 931 | * SiblingTeam: Turns out their human forms were copied from a pair of brothers. |
| 932 | |
| 933 | !!069 Bat-type Roidmude |
| 934 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Shunsuke Miura |
| 935 | [[quoteright:240:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_069.png]] |
| 936 | A Roidmude who copied and took both appearance and obsession of a stalker. This made him go after a model the stalker lusts after, only to get foiled by 096, who for some reason, chose to protect the model. At first, Brain wanted Chase to reset 069, but after a long struggle with the heroes, Brain opts to give him another chance, feeding 069 with 3 Bat Viral Cores and made him mutate into a Giant Bat Roidmude. When it kidnapped Kiriko, Chaser and Mach gave chase, while Drive was hanging on with thanks to Hooking Wrecker, Mach obtained the Ride Crosser, and used the new vehicle to fight against 069, eventually killing the Roidmude. |
| 937 | ---- |
| 938 | * BatOutOfHell: Keeping its animal form, even after evolving through a different path. |
| 939 | * KilledOffForReal: 069's body was destroyed by [[AlphaStrike all of the Ride Crosser's armaments]], but his Core was shattered when the Ride Crosser fell on top of it. |
| 940 | * OneWingedAngel: Invoked by Brain as a last chance to redeem 069. |
| 941 | * StalkerWithACrush: Gained these traits after copying Lila's stalker. |
| 942 | |
| 943 | !!096 Bat-type Roidmude |
| 944 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Haruka Suenaga |
| 945 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_096.png]] |
| 946 | Underneath a black cloak is a witch-like Roidmude who does fortune-telling with tarot cards. For some reason, it is protecting Lila Nanao, a fashion model, even going as far as stopping 069 who happened to be after her. Its first victim was a fat guy who never fails to pop in front of Lila just to give her gifts. 096 slashed him, turning him blue and putting him in a coma, leaving behind The Fool card. It then attacks 069's human partner after 069 was destroyed and Lila's {{Jerkass}} manager, leaving more cards to mark them as The Chariot and The Heirophant. Thanks to some good old detective works, it's revealed that 096 had contracted with Lila and took her grief and memories to fuel her evolution so Lila can be ignorant for accidentally causing Hiroki's death, but the Roidmude was bested and destroyed by the teamwork of Kamen Riders Drive and Mach. |
| 947 | ---- |
| 948 | * BatOutOfHell: Not that easy to see due to the black she wore under; but it's clearer in flashbacks and her last fight where she doesn't wear it. |
| 949 | * GenderBender: 096 was originally a masculine-speaking Roidmude. "He" became a "she" after TheReveal. |
| 950 | * FemmeFatalons: It's right hand sported some nasty claws, although this trope comes into play after TheReveal. |
| 951 | * FortuneTeller: Part of her motive, where she deals Tarot Cards. |
| 952 | * KilledOffForReal: Was subjected to a Rider Double Kick from Drive Type Speed and Mach. |
| 953 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: She is the main monster the heroes deal with throughout the arc. |
| 954 | * RedHerring: We and the cast are led to believe that 096 based itself on Lila's missing fortune-telling boyfriend, when its human base is really Lila herself. |
| 955 | * TarotMotifs: She is first seen using a deck of Major Arcana to do fortune telling. She also left cards behind with her victims; The Fool for selfish love, The Chariot for egotism, and The Heirophant for meddling. |
| 956 | |
| 957 | !!072 Bat-type Roidmude |
| 958 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Kenta Hamano |
| 959 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_072.png]] |
| 960 | A Roidmude that seems to be attacking a woman when first encountered by Drive and Mach. It then gets really excited upon seeing the Kamen Riders, like a nerd. This is because it took on the identity of the Special Unit's resident otaku Kyu Saijou. In fact, Saijou and the Roidmude have been coexisting peacefully for several months. Having absorbed Kyu's personality and memories, the Roidmude is mostly harmless. However, this means the Executors consider 072 defective, and he's killed by Medic. |
| 961 | ---- |
| 962 | * BerserkButton: Being an Otaku Roidmude, it gets really mad over things like an anime having the wrong voice actor. |
| 963 | * HarmlessVillain: To comic levels. |
| 964 | * KillAndReplace: Subverted. He was about to kill Kyu after copying his appearance, but after accepting his supposedly last request to watch the final episode of his favorite show, 072 was touched by it and relented, instead decided to live with Kyu instead. |
| 965 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: The fatal wound he receives from Medic. |
| 966 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: He totally geeks out over seeing the Riders and watching Mach's big entrance, and is disappointed that Drive doesn't have his own dramatic announcement until he makes one up. |
| 967 | * {{Otaku}}: To the point where it makes him mostly harmless. |
| 968 | * ThePowerOfLegacy: Inverted; before dying the Roidmude asks Drive to tell Kyu that he went crazy and was killed by Kamen Rider. |
| 969 | * TokenGoodTeammate: For the Roidmude as a whole. The Roidmude are generally, as a rule, murderous and completely unconcerned about humanity. 072 is like this at ''first''... until the person he copies, Kyu, shows him an anime that convinces him to, instead of rampaging, casually live with Kyu as his "twin." Even when he attacks someone, it's merely to ''lecture'' them, and Shinosuuke decrees he's proof not all Roidmude are bad, and he is ''furious'' when Medic kills him. |
| 970 | * TwinSwitch: With Kyu. A series of flashbacks show the Roidmude was present in previous episode. |
| 971 | |
| 972 | !!027 Imitation Drive |
| 973 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TomokazuSeki |
| 974 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roidmude_027.png]] |
| 975 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/imitation_drive.png]] |
| 976 | A Spider-type Roidmude who sold knock-offs of popular manga compilation Terebi-kun. When Kiriko and Shinnosuke investigate, he somehow manages to copy Drive's appearance and abilities (even hijacking Max Flare's tire when Shinnosuke attempts a Tire Change). He then escapes due to tricking Mach into attacking Drive, and then attempts to damage Drive's reputation. Mr. Belt and Rinna upgrade Drive into Drive Type High Speed to give Shinnosuke an edge over him. |
| 977 | ---- |
| 978 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: His idea of ruining Kamen Rider Drive's reputation includes stealing bicycles and drawing graffiti. To Shinnosuke's outrage, Kiriko briefly falls for it despite her knowing there's a fake Drive out there. |
| 979 | * BavarianFireDrill: When Mach arrives to assist Drive, Imitation Drive quickly points out that he's wearing Max Flare's tire, while the obviously fake Drive doesn't even have a regular tire. Mach (unaware that Imitation Drive had hijacked Max Flare during a Tire Change) agrees and attacks Drive while Imitation Drive flees. Shinnosuke is unamused by Go's mistake. |
| 980 | * EvilDoppelganger: As his name indicates, this Roidmude is this to Drive Type Speed. He's even able to use Tire Change, though he pulls it off by simply shoving Drive out of the way when the Tridoron launches a tire. |
| 981 | * EvilIsPetty: One of the crimes he commits while posing as the fake Drive is walking while texting. |
| 982 | * KilledOffForReal: Destroyed by Kamen Rider Drive High Speed's Rider Kick. |
| 983 | * LargeHam: And how! Subtle is not this Roidmude's strong point. |
| 984 | * PokeThePoodle: The evil scheme this Roidmude launches? Selling cheap knock-offs of the magazine Terebi-kun, thus disappointing little boys and girls (and Kyu!) everywhere. |
| 985 | |
| 986 | !!089 Shocker Buruburu |
| 987 | !!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/YujiKishi |
| 988 | [[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shocker_buruburu.png]] |
| 989 | First seen as a Spider-type Roidmude who took the cells of deceased Shocker scientist Dr. D. Serves as the body for Shocker's Great Leader. Responsible for creating a dimensional distortion device that brought the Ninningers to Drive's world. After [[Characters/ShurikenSentaiNinningerTheKibaoniArmyCorps Youkai Buruburu]] is defeated, Kyuemon gives him the purified sealing shuriken, which he infused into himself allowing him to take the Youkai's form and turn into Shocker Buruburu. |
| 990 | ---- |
| 991 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Combined Buruburu's liquid fear, Shocker's power of evil, and the Roidmudes' Density Shift field into the [[GratuitousEnglish Terrible Pressure]]. |
| 992 | * KilledOffForReal: Blasted away by Drive Type Formula's Trailer Impact, and Deadheat Mach's Hit Macher Full Throttle. |
| 993 | * LargeHam |
| 994 | * LegacyCharacter: 089 manages to be a reincarnation of two villains. The first is the late Dr. D of [[Series/KamenRider Shocker]], whose cells were absorbed rather than having his data copied. The second is [[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger Yōkai Buruburu of the Kibaoni Army Corps]], whose purified Sealing Shuriken was combined with 089's body. |
| 995 | * MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: Was a preview of the events of ''Super Hero Taisen GP''. |
| 996 | * SpidersAreScary: Starts as a Spider-type. |
| 997 | |
| 998 | !!Giant Bat Roidmude trio (026, 043, 087 Bat-Type Roidmudes) |
| 999 | Sent by Brain to stall Riders Drive and Chaser from interfering with Seeker's plan, these three Bat-type Low Class Roidmudes were given supercharged Viral Cores to intercept the airborne Kamen Riders in Booster Tridoron. |
| 1000 | ---- |
| 1001 | * BatOutOfHell: Natch. |
| 1002 | * GiantMook: Mega-Natch. |
| 1003 | * KilledOffForReal: Unlike other times, the bodies and Cores of the Roidmudes were destroyed practically at the same time, so it's impossible to know which Roidmude bit it when they did. |
| 1004 | ** One Giant Roidmude was killed when Kamen Rider Chaser gunned it out of the sky with his Ride Booster Blue. |
| 1005 | ** The second was destroyed by Kamen Rider Chaser slamming his Ride Booster into it with help from a Shingou-Ax slash. |
| 1006 | ** The last one was blown away when Booster Tridoron unleashed its payload into it. |
| 1007 | * RuleOfThree: Three Giant Roidmudes standing in the way of the Kamen Riders helping out their wayward third member. |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 | !!Low-class Roidmude sextet (038-040, 047-049) |
| 1010 | [[spoiler:When Nira and Brain's plan went pear shaped and ruined their reputations thanks to some ]], these 6 Roidmudes were called in to help with fighting against the Kamen Riders. |
| 1011 | ---- |
| 1012 | * ConservationOfNinjutsu: These guys were beaten rather easily, considering that their Cores didn't explode from being hit from Full Throttle attacks, but enhanced attacks rather. |
| 1013 | * KilledOffForReal: 038, 039, and 040 were cut down by a enhanced sweeping slash by Chaser's Shingou-Ax, and 047, 048, and 049 were offed by enhanced Zenrin Shooter strikes from Kamen Rider Deadheat Mach. |
| 1014 | * RuleOfThree: Three Low Class Roidmudes fighting against Riders Deadheat Mach and Chaser. |
| 1015 | |
| 1016 | !!077 Bat-type Roidmude [[spoiler:([[Series/KamenRiderDouble Beast Dopant]])]] |
| 1017 | A Roidmude who copied the data of Toshio Miwa, [[spoiler:the same criminal who was copied by Roidmude 051]]. He made his way to [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Fūto City]] [[spoiler:and attempted to use a [[TransformationTrinket Gaia Memory]]]], which didn't go so well for him the first time around. The second time, on the other hand... |
| 1018 | ---- |
| 1019 | * BatOutOfHell |
| 1020 | * BigBadEnsemble: He's the main antagonist for the subplot/crossover of ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser''. However, the BigBad for the main plot of that special is Roidmude 099, who is unconnected to him. |
| 1021 | * HybridMonster: Roidmude 077 becomes a Roidmude/[[spoiler:Dopant]] hybrid. |
| 1022 | * KilledOffForReal: He's defeated by Drive's [=SpeeDrop=] [[spoiler:and his Gaia Memory is presumably detroyed by Accel's Accel Glanzer]]. |
| 1023 | * LegacyCharacter: He becomes the second [[spoiler:Beast Dopant]]. |
| 1024 | * LowerDeckEpisode: He appears in the ''Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser'' special. |
| 1025 | * PhlebotinumOverload: His first attempt at [[spoiler:using a Gaia Memory]] caused him to collapse. It probably has something to do with him being a mutant android trying to plug something made for organic bodies into himself. It goes better the second time he tries, likely because Roidmudes are made to copy humans and evolve from that data. |
| 1026 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes glow red just as he reverts from his human disguise to his Roidmude form. |
| 1027 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once he successfully becomes the [[spoiler:Beast Dopant]], he tries to make a run for it, but Shinnosuke, Gō, and Ryū don't let him get very far. |
| 1028 | * TransformationTrinket: 077 uses the [[spoiler:Beast Gaia Memory]]. |
