History Characters / KamenRiderExAidBugsters

* BladeOnAStick: Uses a twin bladed spear in battle. The blades are shaped like dragon fangs.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: The Gashat Gear Dual speaks perfect English, much better than that of the Gamer Driver, and in fact whenever it speaks ''Japanese'' (e.g. ''kimewaza''), it's with an American accent.

* LancerVsDragon: It's not Emu but Hiiro and Taiga, both of whom are {{foil}}s to Emu in different ways, who have a [[ItsPersonalWithTheDragon personal enmity]] with Graphite. As such, most showdowns with Graphite involve those two facing him.

* LethalJokeCharacter: While Ren is played primarily for comic relief, his only weakness is one that none of the all-male main Riders can exploit, allowing him to thrash them with impunity. Emu reprogrammed his ability on #32, so Brave can hit him... [[spoiler:but it gets him killed permanently by Cronus. Or he would've been if not for Cronus's Reset, and he returns as TheHeavy of the first part of the Another Ending trilogy.]]

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:For the Bugsters. He gets better.]]

* MonsterOfTheWeek: The main antagonistic force in the series.

* BigBad: Of ''Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Final Stage''.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In Final Stage, he appears to Burgermon, Salty, Aranbura, and Revol just as the latter three are about to have a HeelRealization and puts them under his control. He later does the same to Graphite and Poppy, mentally degrading the latter to the point of BabyTalk.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: The endsemble nature of Ex-Aid means that just because Brave is the official secondary rider doesn't mean he's the most important. If we're talking story significance, like Chalice before him, Parado's story ultimately drives the plot more than any rider bar Ex-Aid and Genm. He remains to date the ''only'' character to have fought by a Protagonist Rider's side as that same Protagonist Rider within the series proper, via the Double Action XX form (while Ryoutarou and the various Imagin have fought alongside each other as Den-O, those instances only take place in the movies). Also, their Rider names parallel one another, both containing a two letter abbreviation typically found in relation to games in their names (e.g. EX-aid, Para-DX).

* HeelFaceTurn: As of #40, after his [[spoiler:KarmicDeath]].

* AgentPeacock: His Bugster form.

* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Of the first ''Another Ending'' film, as while Kuroto Dan is the overall BigBad of all three films, Lovelica is the main antagonist in the first one.]]

* AristocratsAreEvil: He is based on a boss from the "Mighty Action" series called Count Salty.

* BadassBaritone: Has a deep and threatening voice, more noticeable in his Bugster form.

* HazyFeelTurn: Parado teases at turning face while Kuroto is the BigBad, taking several opportunities to KickTheSonOfABitch and generally acting displeased at the sheer degree of depravity that Kuroto displays as he becomes more and more unhinged. Ultimately, though, what he wants is ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'', and the chance it offers to [[KillAllHumans exterminate humanity]].

* KickTheSonOfABitch: There are few things Parado doesn't tolerate: [[EvilIsPetty unnecessary cruelty]] and [[ForTheEvulz lack of fairness]]. Kuroto gets bitten in the ass ''really hard'' by Parado for treating the Bugsters like crap.

* StopHelpingMe: Since Nico's grudge against Emu causes her immense amounts of stress, Revol actually tries to ''help him and keep him alive'' while Nico's his host.

* BigBad: After [[BigBadDuumvirate having to share it]] [[BigBadEnsemble with Kuroto]] for the first half of the show, he takes up the mantle for the first part of the ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' story arc before it's stolen from him by Kamen Rider Cronus.
* BigBadFriend: How he views his relationship with Emu. Emu disagrees, [[spoiler:until #40]].

* TheDragon: Both figuratively '''AND''' literally. He is a Bugster born from a dragon hunting-type game and serves as Parado's right hand. It gets even more literal [[spoiler:when you take the trope's meaning ("The penultimate challenge that The Hero must face before confronting the Big Bad") and realize that he ''is'' the last challenge before Gamedeus.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:He and Parado teamed up with the Doctor Riders and Kuroto in response to Hiiro making a DealWithTheDevil with Cronus.]]

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Takeshi Maeda

* PoisonousFriend: While he was [[spoiler:still living inside of Emu, he used his influence to derail his plans to become a doctor and so they could keep playing video games together as M]]. He continues to try and be one throughout the show, but with considerably less success to his continual distress.

* TeensAreMonsters: Chronologically, he is 16 years old, because [[spoiler:Parado was born inside Emu’s body when Emu was eight, who is 24 years old at the start of the series]]. And he is kind of... [[PsychopathicManchild a mad boy.]] [[spoiler:He becomes much nicer and more genuinely adorable after his HeelFaceTurn in #40.]]

* AnAxeToGrind: Perfect Knock Out Gamer gives him the Gashacon Parabraygun, an axe that also has a gun mode.

* DualWielding[=/=]KatanasAreJustBetter: Uses a pair of katanas in combat.

* WeaponOfChoice:
** Perfect Knock Out Gamer Level 99 is equipped with the the Gashacon Parabraygun, which can transform into gun mode and hand axe mode. This weapon potentially outshines all of its contemporaries in how it functions. A, plus spinning the axe blade changes the mode, but B increases the amount of times the weapon hits, up to ten. And even in axe mode, one blow can hit an opponent multiple times...just like the Gashacon Breaker.
** [[spoiler:#40 also reveals a hidden function: If Mighty Brothers XX is inserted into the Parablaygun instead of a Gashat Gear Dual or single Gashat, rather than set up a [[FinishingMove Critical Finish]], it [[MesACrowd splits Para-DX back into Fighter Gamer and Puzzle Gamer Lv50, both able to act simultaneously.]]]]

* LocationThemeNaming: Is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra Alhambra]], a palace and fortress complex, considered to be one of 12 Treasures of Spain. What's more, "Alhambra" means "The Red One" in Arabian.

* PsychopathicManchild: He gives off this vibe due to his childishness and love of games. Cranked UpToEleven when he becomes Para-DX, as he's having boatloads of fun ''demolishing'' the Riders. [[spoiler:He is, after all, the ImaginaryFriend of a six-year-old child. After having his HeelFaceTurn in #40, he drops the "psychopathic" part and becomes a more adorable {{Manchild}}.]]

** Perfect Knock Out Gamer is even ''[[UpToEleven worse]]'', resembling a pinwheel more than a hairstyle.

* NiceHat: Has a top hat at the top of his noggin'.

[[spoiler:For more info on him, See Kuroto Dan's section in Characters/KamenRiderExAidOthers]]

* ArtificialFamilyMember: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While no true family connection was made, since Parado did came out of [[spoiler:Emu's body and wanted to play with him and the two ended up as BashBrothers]], the two can be seen as brothers.

* MismatchedEyes: Perfect Knock Out Gamer's right eye is red-colored, while his left is blue, reflecting how the form is the combination of the red-colored Fighter Gamer and blue-colored Puzzle Gamer.

** Episode 32 shows a way to permanently kill a "Perfect" Bugster, [[spoiler:Kamen Rider Cronus can trap the Bugster in the moment of death, thereby preventing them being to revive. However, his Reset power also undoes this to any Bugster he killed, as was the case with Lovelica]].

* [[RageAgainstTheAuthor Rage Against The Creator]]: Episode 26 reveals that after achieving self-awareness, they all grew to resent how they only existed to be punching bags of players and have schemed to turn the tables on their creators ever since.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:He may have been a narcissistic bastard with no remorse for the people he's killed, but you can't help but feel a little pity for Parado when Emu kills him coldheartedly in Episode 39. He repeatedly screams out "no" in a terrified tone as he vanishes.]]

** Come episode 44 [[spoiler:He sacrifices himself using the Doctor Mighty gashat to kill Gemdeus once and for all. ]]

* CoverIdentityAnomaly: [[spoiler:In episode 19, he took over Emu’s body to relieve his stress while posing as M the whole time, without even making any effort to resemble the way Emu usually acts. Parado was lucky that everyone else at the CR only assumed that the M personality was there and of course he would be different. However, in episode 30, he was noticeably more convincing in posing as Emu, and the others only noticed that something was off when he started referring to himself as “ore” - something Emu wouldn’t do.]]

* DrowningPit: Used repeatedly throughout episode 39 as a visual metaphor for Parado's psyche falling apart while he slowly drowns in his own terror. [[spoiler:In the end, ''Emu pushes him in''.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Parado's loaded to the brim with it. His choice of [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull transformation call]][[note]]Everyone except him has a unique announcement of levels. He's the only one to share one, this being Emu's "Dai Henshin"[[/note]], his choice of clothing, his color palette[[note]]Red and blue are the inverted colors of cyan and orange[[/note]], and even what episodes he appears in[[note]]Most notably, his striking absence from most of episode 19, where M is in full control of Emu and acts exactly like Parado[[/note]] hide the reveal in plain sight that [[spoiler:he's Emu's EnemyWithout]]. Further hints are sprinkled into the Ghost crossover movie, which teases Parado's silhouette in an important context, and the opening takes pains to contrast Emu and Parado in their shots. Parado's name is a separate bit of foreshadowing, hinting at his Rider name.

* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Pulls this in episode 29, when he tricks Emu into [[spoiler:using reprogramming on him while he inhabits the other half of ''Mighty Brothers XX'', which allows Parado to subvert the reprogramming into imprinting Emu's human DNA on him, thus making him compatible with the Gamer Driver]]. Everything he's ever pulled has shades of this, with both the Doctor Riders and Kuroto Dan playing a part in his plan.

* HoldingHands: He has a hand-holding motif with Emu, both the literal hand-held (such as when he gently puts the black Gashat in Emu’s hand in #13) and metaphorical (he always wants to play with Emu and reach out to him, but due to Parado’s [[PsychopathicManchild nature]], Emu always refuses). [[spoiler:Episode 40 gives a more heartwarming take of the trope with ''Emu'' reaching out to Parado this time. Episode 45 takes this even better: it was thanks to Emu trying to reach out his hand to a disappearing Parado that Parado was able to re-infect Emu and got revived inside his host’s body.]]
* HumiliationConga: Episode 39 might as well be a two-second clip of Parado getting stomped in the face over and over.

* LackOfEmpathy: Highlighted in Episode 28 where [[spoiler:while Emu tries to reach out to Poppy, Parado keeps trying to get him to re-focus on fighting. He also starts ''strangling'' Poppy when she starts to tell him she doesn't want to KillAllHumans.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: A large part of his motivation is to have Emu become just strong enough so that he can be his WorthyOpponent in a fight to the death. As an immortal Bugster, Parado naturally expects to win said fight. Come episode 39, however, and Parado [[spoiler:finds himself challenged by Emu this time, who not only hopelessly overpowers him, but also mercilessly finishes him off.]]

* MirrorMatch: In retrospect, one happened on the occasions where he fought Ex-Aid while the latter was using ''Mighty Brothers XX''. He deliberately incites another in episode 29.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Many of Parado's fights are like this due to his desire to always go all-out, but his beatdown of Genm in episode 18 and his debut of ''Perfect Knock Out'' are particularly savage.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Whenever Parado stops smiling, it's either because he's quietly infuriated, such as at Kuroto, or because something's happened that's broken his calm. ''The entire trailer'' for episode 39 consists of clips of Parado acting out of character to emphasize the severity of the events to come.

* PsychopathicManchild: He gives off this vibe due to his childishness and love of games. Cranked UpToEleven when he becomes Para-DX, as he's having boatloads of fun ''demolishing'' the Riders. [[spoiler:He is, after all, the ImaginaryFriend of a six-year-old child. After having his HeelFaceTurn in episode 40, he drops the "psychopathic" part and becomes a more adorable {{Manchild}}.]]

* TeensAreMonsters: Chronologically, he is 16 years old, because [[spoiler:Parado was born inside Emu’s body when Emu was eight, who is 24 years old at the start of the series]]. And he is kind of... [[PsychopathicManchild a mad boy.]] [[spoiler:He becomes much nicer and more genuinely adorable after his HeelFaceTurn in episode 40.]]

** Also, does he refer to Emu as “M” or “Emu”? Before [[spoiler:TheReveal in episode 28]], subs mostly romanized it as “M”, but after [[spoiler:episode 29 elaborated that Parado is the actual “Genius Gamer M” and is Emu’s Bugster]], pretty much all the subs spelled it as “Emu” instead, because [[spoiler:why would Parado call Emu “M” when HE is “M”, and being Emu’s Bugster makes him familiar enough with Emu to call him by first name.]]

** [[spoiler:After Cronus kills Lovelica permanently at the end of episode 32, the realization that even Bugsters can die leaves Parado sitting huddled and trembling in his basement lair. The scene is played very much like how a [[PsychopathicManchild normal child]] would react from witnessing a friend's death right in front of them.]]

* {{Nerf}}: Kamen Rider Cronus delivers a very nasty one in episode 38 by cutting off anyone's ability to use Energy Items. Everyone uses them, but half of Para-DX's powerset is built around them.

** [[spoiler:Episode 40 also reveals a hidden function: If Mighty Brothers XX is inserted into the Parablaygun instead of a Gashat Gear Dual or single Gashat, rather than set up a [[FinishingMove Critical Finish]], it [[MesACrowd splits Para-DX back into Fighter Gamer and Puzzle Gamer Lv50, both able to act simultaneously.]]]]

[[spoiler:He's actually the Bugster that spawned from Hiiro's girlfriend, Saki. Because Taiga failed to defeat him back then, he completed his manifestation, causing Saki's physical body to disappear.]] After his death at the hands of the Riders in episode 10, Graphite appeared dead for good, but was eventually revealed to have been capable of being revived by Parado at any time. After waiting for the appropriate moment, Parado revived Graphite to finish ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'', in the process ascending him to level 99.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The strongest Bugster, with a personal connection to two of the main Riders, who achieves a OneWingedAngel form, whose final battle is prefaced by a massive city-wide infection and whose defeat marks clearing the tenth and allegedly final Gashat. If not for the loose ends of Genm and Parado, and the fact that it's only episode 10, the Riders could be forgiven for thinking he was the final boss. Unlike most examples, he comes back later, and even remembered to level grind.

* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:In Episode 41 he refuses to let Masamune rescue him from the Riders, saying that they won fair and square and he won't let Masamune tarnish the sanctity of their battle. He says his goodbyes (thanking Parado and Poppy for their friendship and the Riders for letting him fulfill his purpose as a FinalBoss), then throws himself into the path of Nico's FinishingMove.]]

* PutOnABus: He was defeated in episode 10 by the four Riders working together in their Level 5 forms.

* SweetTooth: Inherited this from his host Saki, as seen in Episode 34.

* LethalJokeCharacter: While Ren is played primarily for comic relief, his only weakness is one that none of the all-male main Riders can exploit, allowing him to thrash them with impunity. Emu reprogrammed his ability on episode 32, so Brave can hit him... [[spoiler:but it gets him killed permanently by Cronus. Or he would've been if not for Cronus's Reset, and he returns as TheHeavy of the first part of the Another Ending trilogy.]]

* LoveFreak: He is this ''big time''. Being from a DatingSim, he views everything he does for love itself. The episode where he debuts as the Lovrica Bugster promptly hangs a lampshade by having it named after the CatchPhrase of Trigun's protagonist, also a notorious LoveFreak.

* ButtMonkey: As of episode #24, Motors has hit this point. Especially since his level 40 teammates had to fight a Level 50 and a Level 5 one on one. He got stuck fighting Ex-Aid's [[{{Cap}} Level 99]] ''at Level 20''. Poor guy can't catch a break.

* SuperSpeed: His appearance in Episode 30 shows that he has this, though it's not known if he's always had it or just gained it to compensate for the deletion of his bike.

* TheComicallySerious: Kaiden presents himself as a serious warrior ready for battle and the show uses it for comedic effect on occasion. It's most notable in episode 37 where he's sitting in a park surrounded by pigeons with a bunch of civilians taking selfies around him all the while he fruitlessly demands someone to challenge him.

** Episode 32 shows a way to permanently kill a "Perfect" Bugster, [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Cronus can trap the Bugster in the moment of death, thereby preventing them being to revive. However, his Reset power also undoes this to any Bugster he killed, as was the case with Loverica]].
* DefeatEqualsExplosion: A downgrade from the [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Ganma]], the Bugsters explode 2 times - first when their Giant Game Virus is defeated, and second, more permanently, when their true forms are destroyed.
** The fact that [[spoiler: Lovrica]] doesn't explode, but fades away silently hints that there is [[DeaderThanDead something wrong]].
* DeathIsCheap: Bugsters that are destroyed can return stronger than before if their data is saved. [[spoiler: Even complete Bugsters who died like Graphite can be brought back at any time.]]
** Harshly {{subverted}} when it comes to [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Cronus's abilities]].

* OutOfContinues: Courtesy of [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Cronus,]] the only one capable of permanently killing them.
* PastLifeMemories: [[spoiler: A Bugster who has successfully overwhelmed their host and become a completed being will also inherit the memories of their former host.]]

* RedRightHand: FashionableAsymmetry is in full force for many of the Bugsters. Graphite in particular is a literal take on this trope. Even Alhambra has large talons on his left hand.

* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler: Their true motive. They want to replace humanity for using them as puppets and punching bags for wish fulfillment and power fantasies, making ''them'' the mooks to kill in Kamen Rider Chronicle.]]

!!!Voiced by: Masashi Sugawara

** MagicKnight: Alhambra's magical powers can be used in the form of a giant magic circle that uses the power of fire and ice, which is his legendary Ruin spell. Presumably his other spells are accessible also.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In Final Stage, he appears to Burgermon, Salty, Alhambra, and Revol just as the latter three are about to have a HeelRealization and puts them under his control. He later does the same to Graphite and Poppy, mentally degrading the latter to the point of BabyTalk.

* HijackedByGanon: After his defeat, Gamedeus gets absorbed by Masamune as a powerup for himself, [[DeathOfPersonality though what results can hardly be called "Masamune Dan" anymore]]. [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope At least until it becomes clear that Masamune's being as much of an overdramatic god-complexed idiot as his son.]]]]

!!!Portrayed by: Shouma Kai (live), Kazuya Okada (suit), Hiroki Ijima (possesed or Ex-Aid Level XX R)

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler: After Kuroto's lost every single advantage he had against the Riders, Emu spares him. Parado on the other hand, isn't as merciful.]]

* BigBadFriend: How he views his relationship with Emu. Emu disagrees, [[spoiler: until episode 40]].

* DarkReprise: [[spoiler: The preview for #30 has Parado mimic Emu's catchphrase.... with a change.]]
--> '''Parado''': [[spoiler: I'll change the fate of the Bugsters with my own hands!]]"

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Parado's character can be interpretted as what a video game player character would be like in real life; an unkillable BloodKnight that just does the things they do out of boredom, only really showing frustration when they find things unfair, while showing little concern if the unfairness doesn't apply to them. Unlike the typical player character, he's treated as disturbingly childish and dangerous because he lacks the ability to truly understand how the world works, only having the shallow perception of the world being an elaborate playground and eventual lead-up to what he views as the most entertaining and difficult boss, Emu. [[spoiler: His HeelFaceTurn and lead-up to it even reflect this; he experiences the fear of permanent death and what it's like to have only one life, decides to go after the greatest challenge in the "game" before realizing what a nightmare it is to be the one on the other end of being a player, and realizes the humans he viewed as [=NPCs=] are more than that, gaining a sense of humanity.]]

* FirstOfItsKind: [[spoiler: He is the first Bugster, made from Patient Zero, Emu.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: As of #40, after his [[spoiler: KarmicDeath]].

* InelegantBlubbering: In #40. During Emu's KirkSummation, Parado [[spoiler: breaks down emotionally, falling to the floor while sobbing violently over the weight of his actions]].

-->'''Emu''': ''(as Parado prepares to leave, claiming he'll win the next time they fight)'' [[spoiler: There ''is'' no next time. ''[[OhCrap You have to get the ending you deserve.]]'']]

* MeaningfulName: His whole existence is basically one big paradox, as [[spoiler: he is a unique and powerful Bugster who has not killed his host]]. It also alludes to his two-faced personality.

* NothingPersonal: Unlike Kuroto and Graphite, who both have ''very'' personal beef with the Doctor Riders, Parado only ever focused on riling Emu up and trying to fight him. [[spoiler: As such, when Emu has forgiven his wrongdoings, no one else from the Doctor Riders objects to his HeelFaceTurn.]]

* RedemptionEarnsLife: PlayedWith. [[spoiler: Emu saved a portion of Parado's data upon deleting him, revealing that he could empathize with Parado's fears of death; [[KirkSummation appealing to that fear]] in the hopes that it was an indicator that Parado was beginning to see the value of life. [[HeelFaceTurn It was]]]].

** He is however the Red to Emu’s Blue. This is most apparent with [[spoiler: the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat, which has him as the orange right side and Emu as the blue left side.]]

* TeensAreMonsters: Chronologically, he is 16 years old, because [[spoiler: Parado was born inside Emu’s body when Emu was eight, who is 24 years old at the start of the series]]. And he is kind of... [[PsychopathicManchild a mad boy.]] [[spoiler: He becomes much nicer and more genuinely adorable after his HeelFaceTurn in episode 40.]]

* SatelliteCharacter: [[spoiler: After his HeelFaceTurn in episode 40, his existence pretty much only revolves around Emu. He does talk to other characters from time to time and Poppy is the one who he interacts with the most after Emu, but the focus of his character is still firmly on being with Emu. {{Justified}} because due to being a former villain, he wouldn’t be able to be too friendly with the other Doctor Riders, and his back-stabbing to Kuroto earlier ensures that their relationship is now distant at best. Emu would logically be the one he could have the best relationship with, due to the former being willing to forgive him and take responsibility for him.]]

** Also, does he refer to Emu as “M” or “Emu”? Before [[spoiler:TheReveal in episode 28]], subs mostly romanized it as “M”, but after [[spoiler:episode 29 elaborated that Parado is the actual “Genius Gamer M” and is Emu’s Bugster]], pretty much all the subs spelled it as “Emu” instead, because [[spoiler: why would Parado call Emu “M” when HE is “M”, and being Emu’s Bugster makes him familiar enough with Emu to call him by first name.]]

* VillainousFriendship: Graphite, and to a lesser extent Loverica, are the two other Bugsters that Parado's shown to treat as genuine friends. [[spoiler: And in episode 28, it was revealed that despite being against Emu and having fought him the whole time, Parado has always considered him a friend.]]

* VillainousRescue: Remember when Emu was [[spoiler: suffering the Game Disease side-effects in ''#18'' and didn't disappear somehow? Thank Parado for that.]]

** It only exacerbates when Chronos starts [[spoiler: targeting Parado directly]].

** Subverted when Kuroto [[spoiler: destroys the Burgmon Bugster]]; who was irrelevant since they already had the Gashat they needed. Parado is not happy.
** Ultimately a DoubleSubversion. With the revelation that [[spoiler: [[DeathIsCheap Bugsters can be revived as long as their data's saved somewhere]]]], it explains his dismissal of most Bugster losses. [[spoiler: The defeated Bugsters never went away. They just lost the last game they played]].
* WhatsHeGotThatIAintGot: He uses a variation of this in episode 28 to [[spoiler: Emu: “You will play with Poppy, but why won’t you play with me?!”]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Parado sometimes uses physical violence with [[spoiler: Poppy, because he’s jealous of how Emu would play with her but not ''him''. He both strangles her and slaps her [[DemonicPossession while he’s in Emu’s body]] in episode 28. He stops these behaviors after his HeelFaceTurn.]]

!!!Portrayed by: Shouma Machii (live), Kazuya Oada (suit)

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: By episode 41, his own death by Nico is the key to stopping Kamen Rider Chronicle, as his Gashatrophy is the very last one they need. He chooses to fight one last battle against Hiiro and Taiga where he gives it his all, and when he's weakened enough, Nico almost shoots him before Cronus pauses time to keep him from dying and prevent ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' from ending. Remembering the wishes of those who fought him and his own Bugster comrades, Graphite successfully overpowers Masamune, then lets himself take the shot after unfreezing time. He even gets a title card for his finishers just like the Riders do during this last stand.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Even Graphite is horrified at Cronus' murder of Loverica, ultimately resulting with him and Parado [[EnemyMine forming an alliance with the Doctor Riders and Kuroto]].]]

* HiddenDepths: Graphite starts out as the most underdeveloped Bugster executive, but [[spoiler: when he learns that Cronus can kill his kind permanently, in contrast to Parado, he shows bravery and courage in the face of death, being willing to continue the fight.]]

* NobleDemon: A brutal fighter that cares greatly for his Bugster comrades and plays fair, but not easy. [[spoiler: In #41, when Poppy and Parado offer him the chance to side with them and humanity, he refuses to do so, but he lets them go their way, since that's what they want. And in the same episode, after Hiiro and Taiga give him the best fight of his life and he's about to be finished off by Nico, Cronus pauses time and offers to save him to keep him alive and Kamen Rider Chronicle going. He instead overpowers Cronus and lets himself get hit, refusing to rob his opponents of their victory and his friends of their wishes.]]

* TaintedVeins: Purplish black veins begin to appear on his face and neck as [[spoiler: the Gamedeus virus continues to multiply inside him]].

* TheBusCameBack: Returns at the end of episode 24. Turns out being a perfect Bugster means you don't need your data backed up to revive anymore either.

* VillainousFriendship: With Parado. [[spoiler: Even at the end, his last words to Parado and to Poppy are that they're his friends.]]

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler: When Parado posses Emu in #29 and takes him to the basement, Graphite asks why he doesn't just kill him. The answer is that [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou he wants to defeat Emu himself]] and he needed Emu to achieve Perfect Knock Out.]]

!!!Portrayed by: Shinya Kote, Creator/JunichiSuwabe (second voice), Hajime Kanzaki (suit)

** [[spoiler:Brave openly apologizing and finally being willing to move forwards in his relationship with Saki, the current target of Loverica's game and being reciprocated causes Lovelica to become vulnerable, as Brave has effectively won the game.]]

!! Salty Bugster
!!!Voiced by: Takeshi Maeda

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: He gets deleted by Masamune as a cruel demonstration of his ability to control them with the ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' Master Gashat. Unlike most examples, Masamune later restores Salty to life.]]

!!!Voiced by: Dai Matsumoto

* MagicStaff: Wields one called the Alhambra Staff.
* RunningGag: Aranbura boasts the allegedly-powerful spell ''Ruin'', which he never manages to actually cast before being interrupted. [[spoiler: [[AllYourPowersCombined Gamedeus]] actually gets to cast it, and we see that it's a ''very good thing'' that Aranbura never got the chance.]]

!!!Voiced by: Creator/TetsuInada

* {{Irony}}: In his first appearance he takes advantage of his victim's [[AfraidOfDoctors Iatrophobia]] to try and become real. [[spoiler: In his second, Parado chains him to the ceiling to keep him out of the way which in turn causes him to reveal that he's an Acrophobe.]]

!!!Voiced by: Shintaro Ohata

* HistoryRepeats: [[spoiler: His first two deaths were at the hands of Genm.]]

* MadeOfIron: Against all odds, he just barely ''survives'' Lazer's [[FinishingMove Critical Strike]]. [[spoiler: It doesn't save him from being executed by Genm though.]]

!!!Voiced by: Yuichi Iguchi

* StealthPun: His head and tail give him a resemblance to a rodent, and he's a robot; [[spoiler: he's a computer mouse!]]

!!!Voiced by: Kenichiro Matsuda

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Perhaps the least developed of all of the named Bugsters. His focus on mainly stressing Daisuke in his first episode gives him very little to no screen time at all, and the second in which he plays an antagonistic role has the majority of the fight instead devoted to the much more chatty Loverica, meaning Vernier hardly speaks at all.

!!!Voiced by: Otoya Kawano

!! Charlie Bugster
!!!Voiced by: Yuki Anai

A Bugster born from the data of ''Shakariki Sports'' after [[spoiler: Kuroto infected himself with the Bugster Virus to evade authority figures.]] Unlike earlier Bugsters, he starts at Level 30 and possesses his target rather than try to take their place.

!!!Voiced by: Tsuyoshi Koyama

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler: How he is defeated. Instead of destroying him, you feed him to make him happy.]]
* {{Expy}}: He's a non-malicious [=MOTW=] much like [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Roidmude 072]] and [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Cubi]] before him. [[spoiler: Much like 072, he meets a tragic end.]]

* KilledOffForReal: Unlike other Bugsters, Burgermon's death seems to be permanent, since his data wasn't saved into the Bugvisor. [[spoiler: But Parado was lying about that being necessary for a perfect Bugster, which Burgermon was, so he can't be ruled out just yet.]]
* LikeASonToMe: His infectee is the one who developed the game he's from in the first place, so he considers Burgmon to basically be his son and gets stressed when he's attacked. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, Genm just ''had'' to be the biggest bastard to ever exist.]]

[[spoiler: For more info on him, See Kuroto Dan's section in Characters/KamenRiderExAidOthers]]

** [[spoiler:After Cronus kills Loverica permanently at the end of episode 32, the realization that even Bugsters can die leaves Parado sitting huddled and trembling in his basement lair. The scene is played very much like how a [[PsychopathicManchild normal child]] would react from witnessing a friend's death right in front of them.]]

[[folder: Ren Amagasaki/Lovelica Bugster]]

The new president of Genm Corporation after Kuroto Dan's disappearance. He is a bit on the eccentric side even at work, and has a motto of "I love you's for the whole world!" In reality, he's the Bugster of the DatingSim game ''Toki Meki Crisis'', secretly working with Parado to complete ''Kamen Rider Chronicle''. Was responsible for "resetting" Poppy to her original state.

* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler: Thanks to Cronus' ability to completely kill any Bugster, Loverica has completely disappeared and can no longer be revived. Subverted ultimately, as Cronus's Reset also restored his data and thus he can be resurrected.]]

* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:Of the first ''Another Ending'' film, as while Kuroto Dan is the overall BigBad of all three films, Loverica is the main antagonist in the first one.]]

** [[spoiler:Brave openly apologizing and finally being willing to move forwards in his relationship with Saki, the current target of Loverica's game and being reciprocated causes Loverica to become vulnerable, as Brave has effectively won the game.]]

* ThePowerOfLove: His main power and weakness. Normal attacks don't work on him, as he is powered by the love from his Bugster maids. Taiga managed to beat him by showing his true feelings towards Nico, which then made the Bugster maids fawn at him, and was then damaged by Nico by saying that she isn't his type. Ex-Aid was later able to beat him up by reprogramming out the girls first - no harem, no defenses. [[spoiler:Brave beats him in the first part of ''Another Ending'' by finally apologizing to Saki and being willing to move forwards in their relationship once she's resurrected, something that she reciprocates. As Saki was the one Loverica was drawing power from, Loverica becomes vulnerable, allowing Brave to kill him.]]
