Kamen Rider Ex-Aid features a variety of unique Riders with game-based powers. In addition to facing monsters called Bugsters, these Riders often engage in battle with each other according to their own motives and goals.
In this article, we would like to discuss all Riders that appear in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid series. Check out more detailed information below!
1. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
Emu Hojo is a young doctor and a brilliant gamer. As a gamer, Emu is better known by the nickname M. He has won numerous gaming tournaments. He also has a strong desire to help others.
As a child, Emu was involved in a serious accident. However, he was saved by a doctor. This incident inspired Emu to become a doctor so he could help others.
After learning about the threat of a virus called Bugster, Emu fights as Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. He is able to combine the power of Ex-Aid with his gaming skills. Furthermore, he can access various forms and evolve stronger over time.
2. Kamen Rider Brave
Unlike Emu, Hiiro Kagami is a brilliant surgeon at Seito University Hospital. He has a cold and arrogant personality. He also doesn't particularly like to collaborate with others.
Hiiro has a girlfriend named Saki. During the Zero Day incident, Saki was infected with the Bugster virus, which turned her body into data. He blamed Taiga for being unable to protect her.
Some time later, Hiiro was chosen to fight as Kamen Rider Brave. He protects people from the dangerous Bugster threat. He is also highly skilled in sword fighting.
3. Kamen Rider Sneip
Taiga Hinaya is known as a brilliant radiologist who worked at Seito University Hospital. However, his medical license was revoked after he failed in his battle against Graphite during the Zero Day incident.
Taiga then grew into a violent and power-obsessed person. He wants revenge on Graphite for ruining his life. He will do anything to achieve this goal.
As Kamen Rider Sneip, Taiga uses a pistol in combat. His marksmanship is extremely precise, giving him an advantage in long-range combat.
4. Kamen Rider Lazer
Kiriya Kujo is a medical examiner who often acts relaxed. He has a sharp mind but also a cunning and manipulative nature. Despite this, he still shows a kind side to others.
After threatening Dan Kuso, Kiriya gains access to the Gamer Driver and Bakusou Bike. He transforms into Kamen Rider Lazer. Along with the other Riders, he joins the battle against the Bugsters.
Kamen Rider Lazer's power is relatively weak compared to the previous three Riders. Furthermore, he was defeated by Genm and was presumed dead in the battle.
5. Kamen Rider Genm
Kuroto Dan is the former CEO of Genm Corp. and is very interesting in the Kamen Rider Ex-Aid story. He possesses an extremely brilliant mind. Furthermore, he is capable of developing various interesting games that are loved by many people.
Furthermore, Kuroto enjoys conducting various experiments on computer programs. He is the person responsible for the creation of the Bugster virus. He also played a major role in the creation of Rider Gashat and Gamer Driver.
As Kamen Rider Genm, Kuroto's strength is arguably superior to Brave and Sneip, especially when he uses his Zombie Action Gamer Level X-0 form. In this form, he always revives every time he is defeated.
6. Kamen Rider Para-DX
Parado is a Bugster born from Emu Hojo. While in Emu's body, he played a major role in influencing Emu to become a professional gamer. Emu's gaming genius is also inseparable from Parado's role.
In the story, Parado often acts alongside Graphite to fight the Riders. In line with his obsession with gaming, Parado often appears childish and unpredictable. This makes him quite difficult to deal with.
Parado becomes even more troublesome when he transforms into Kamen Rider Para-DX. His powers rival those of the Riders. However, he ultimately transforms into a kinder person and sides with humanity.
7. Kamen Rider Poppy
Asuna Karino is a beautiful girl and Emu's best friend. Unexpectedly, she turns out to be a Bugster known as Poppypopapo. She is the mascot of the DoReMiFa Beat game.
Poppy was intentionally created as a guide for the Riders in CR. She is able to provide information about the Bugster virus and the Rider system. Furthermore, she is often seen as energetic and cheerful.
Apart from that, Poppy can transform into a Kamen Rider using the Buggle Driver II and the Toki Meki Crisis Gashat. Despite her cute appearance, her fighting prowess is not to be underestimated.
8. Kamen Rider Cronus
Masamune Dan is Kuroto's father and a very dangerous enemy in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. He is greedy and cunning. He is also the mastermind behind the Zero Day incident.
After Kuroto Dan's death, Masamune took over as CEO of Genm Corp. He continued the Kamen Rider Chronicle project for his business interests. He has an evil plan to take over the world with his power.
Masamune Dan transforms into Kamen Rider Cronus by utilizing the Master Gashat and Buggle Driver II. He has the special ability to stop time. Because of this, he is very difficult to defeat.
9. Kamen Rider Fuma
Kagenari Nagumo is the main antagonist who plays a major role in Kamen Rider Ex-: True Ending. He once worked as a game developer at the Machina Vision company. He has a plan to integrate humans with virtual simulations.
Furthermore, Nagumo can transform into Kamen Rider Fuma by utilizing the Hurricane Ninja Gashat. He can create an army of Ninja Players to infect people and send them into the game world.
Nagumo may seem cruel and evil, but he does all of this for the happiness of his terminally ill daughter. However, he eventually realizes his mistakes and strives to correct them.
10. Kamen Rider True Brave
Another Hiiro is interesting character who appears in Kamen Rider x Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen. He is an alternate version of Hiiro from the game world. He was created from Hiiro's past regret when he refused to save Eight.
Like the real-life Hiiro, Another Hiiro can transform into a Kamen Rider by utilizing the Taddle Legacy Gashat and Gamer Driver. Furthermore, he shares a personality and fighting style that closely resembles Hiiro's.
11. Kamen Rider Another Para-DX
Like the previous case, Black Parado, or Another Parado, is an alternate version of Parado. He is a Bugster created by Masamune Dan. He also appears exclusively in the Kamen Rider Para-DX storyline with Poppy.
Black Parado can transform into Kamen Rider Another Para-DX by using the Gashat Gear Dual Another and the Gamer Driver. He possesses a powerful finishing technique called the Perfect Knock Out Critical Bomber.
12. Ride-Player Nico
Unlike previous Kamen Riders, Nico Saiba is simply a Ride-Player participating in the Kamen Rider Chronicle game. However, she's so charming that she deserves a spot on this list.
Nico is a cute and tomboyish young girl. She's also known as a gaming genius with the code name N. She always follows Taiga, so the two are often seen together in action.
When fighting as a Ride-Player, Nico displays quite impressive fighting skills. She's capable of agile and nimble movements. She also possesses several interesting finishing techniques, such as the Nico Critical Kick and Nico Critical Punch.
