Nascita[edit]
Several characters gather at Nascita, a café owned by Sōichi Isurugi where he lives with his daughter Misora. They shelter Sento and later Ryūga. However, the revelation that Sōichi Isurugi is Blood Stalk, and had been possessed by the evil alien Evolto, compromises the café's status as a safehouse until he leaves Touto.
Sento Kiryū[edit]
Sento Kiryū (桐生 戦兎Kiryū Sento) is a 26-year-old genius who is trustful and puts the safety of others above himself. Though level-headed and compassionate, Sento is egotistical with a dangerous temper when provoked.
Prior to the start of the series, he was found by Sōichi Isurugi with total amnesia except for being experimented upon by Night Rogue. Sōichi gave Sento his name and convinced him to help fight the Faust organization and its Smash creations in hope of regaining his memories. While helping Ryūga clear his name, Sento learns that an Evolto-possessed Sōichi masterminded the events that ruined both his and Ryūga's lives, and a defeated Gentoku reveals Sento's true identity.
Sento was actually Faust's founder, Takumi Katsuragi, whose memories were lost after a failed assassination attempt on Evolto. After being knocked unconscious by Evolto, his face was swapped with the recently murdered musician Tarō Satō (佐藤 太郎Satō Tarō), to be experimented upon by Gentoku as part of Evolto's plan to complete Takumi's Rider Systems for the civil war Evolto causes. However, Sento joins forces with Kazumi and Gentoku to fight against Evolto. After a failed suicide attack on Evolto, Katsuragi's personality re-emerges and tries to take matters into his own hands. Eventually, Sento and Katsuragi came to terms with each other, allowing the former to regain control of his body while the latter acted as his spiritual adviser.
Following Evolto's permanent destruction, Sento learned that he caused the Pandora Box to erase all traces of Evolto from his Earth, which was assimilated into the 'Prime' Kamen Rider universe with the Skywall Disaster and subsequent deaths averted. This left Sento misplaced, seen as a complete stranger or mistaken for Tarō Satō. He later finds his own reality's Ryūga, who was in the same situation, and the two decide to start their lives anew. It is later revealed that many of the previous episodes' opening recaps are actually memoirs written by Sento which he intends to use as the basis of a television series he and Ryūga are collaborating on, subtly breaking the fourth wall. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z, Sento is convinced that this world is not needed to the Kamen Riders until the appearance of Killbus, where he loses his Build Driver, he is responsible for creating the Muscle Galaxy Fullbottle with data that Banjō brought of Evolto, after Killbus is defeated and retrieves its Build Driver, he takes care of curing Yui's students with the power of the Genius Fullbottle, realizes that the new world really needs the Kamen Riders, after all.
Sento is able to transform into Kamen Rider Build by using the Build Driver (ビルドドライバーBirudo Doraibā) to combine two Fullbottles (フルボトルFurubotoru). Depending on the combination of Fullbottles, one of which corresponds to a person or animal and one which corresponds to an object, he can access various forms. Certain combinations work better than others, with strong forms called a Best Match (ベストマッチBesuto Matchi), which can perform the Vortex Finish (ボルテックフィニッシュBorutekku Finisshu) finisher. Weaker forms called a Trial Form (トライアルフォームToraiaru Fōmu) can perform the Vortex Attack (ボルテックアタックBorutekku Atakku) finisher. The Best Match forms are inspired by Misora Isurugi's childhood drawings, according to Sōichi's past memories. By himself, Sento's initial Hazard Level is 3 (see Smash, below). The continuous use of the Hazard Trigger and Pandora Panel (later Genius Fullbottle) allows it to rise rapidly towards 7, allowing him to transform the Rabbit Fullbottle into a golden state.

Build's main weapon is the Drill Crusher (ドリルクラッシャーDoriru Kurasshā), which can operate as a sword or a gun. By inserting a Fullbottle into a slot on the back of this weapon, it can perform the Vortex Break (ボルテックブレイクBorutekku Bureiku) finisher. After defeating a Smash, Build can extract its element liquid into an Empty Bottle (エンプティボトルEnputi Botoru) to be purified into a new Fullbottle to access a form or charge a weapon.
Sento later acquires an item called the Hazard Trigger (ハザードトリガーHazādo Torigā) to transform into a black-colored version of Build called Hazard Form (ハザードフォームHazādo Fōmu) whose upgraded Super Best Match (スーパーベストマッチSūpā Besuto Matchi) forms are stronger than RabbitTank Sparkling Form and equal to Sclash Driver-using Kamen Riders. However, the Hazard Trigger induces a berserker side-effect, and a self-destruct mechanism is added to avoid a deadly rampage. After Misora awakens her full ability of purifying the Hazard Levels of Nebula Gas, she effectively negates the berserker effects of the Hazard Trigger.
Other Forms:
- The FullFull RabbitTank Bottle (フルフルラビットタンクボトルFuru Furu Rabitto Tanku Botoru) is a 2-in-1 Fullbottle device that can switch between the full forms of the Rabbit and Tank Fullbottles, granting access to the full potential of both. It negates the side-effect of the Hazard Trigger. Its main weapon is the Fullbottle Buster (フルボトルバスターFurubotoru Basutā), which has blade and cannon modes. By inserting up to four Fullbottles into the side of this weapon's barrel, it can activate several finishers.
- RabbitRabbit Form (ラビットラビットフォームRabitto Rabitto Fōmu), a.k.a. the 'Crimson Speedy Jumper' (紅のスピーディージャンパーKurenai no Supīdī Janpā), is Build's speed form whose finisher is the Hazard Finish: RabbitRabbit Finish (ハザードフィニッシュ ラビットラビットフィニッシュHazādo Finisshu Rabitto Rabitto Finisshu).

- The Genius (ジーニアスJīniasu) Fullbottle was created by Takumi from a green Pandora Panel that combines the power of all 60 Fullbottles, enabling Build to access his ultimate form, Genius Form (ジーニアスフォームJīniasu Fōmu), a.k.a. the 'Completely Flawless Bottle Guy' (完全無欠のボトルヤローKanzen Muketsu no Botoru Yarō). This gives Build the ability to perform Hazard purification and fight toe-to-toe with Evol Black Hole Form via high speed movement. He is able to utilize the Fullbottle Buster in this form. If attached with the Hazard Trigger, Build also gains the ability to negate the Pandora Panel's effects on Lost Fullbottles. This form has three finishers: Genius Attack (ジーニアスアタックJīniasu Attaku), Genius Break (ジーニアスブレイクJīniasu Bureiku), Genius Finish (ジーニアスフィニッシュJīniasu Finisshu). After the completion of the Pandora Box, Sento loses this form as the Genius Fullbottle returned to its original form. Although it is discovered that in Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z, Sento created a new Genius Fullbottle and in Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease Sento returns using this form.
- RabbitDragon Form (ラビットドラゴンフォームRabitto Doragon Fōmu) is the special Best Match developed from samples of Build's Rabbit and Cross-Z's Dragon Fullbottles to create the Gold Rabbit (ゴールドラビットGōrudo Rabitto) and Silver Dragon (シルバードラゴンShirubā Doragon) Fullbottles by the events of Kamen Rider Build the Movie: Be the One for the purpose of destroying Evolto. As a Trial Form, this form's finisher is the Vortex Attack but it has a late Best Match announcement on the Build Driver due to Sento's resolve.
- Cross-ZBuild Form (クローズビルドフォームKurōzu Birudo Fōmu) is an enhanced form of Build's RabbitDragon Form that appears in Be The One, using the Cross-ZBuild Can (クローズビルド缶Kurōzu Birudo Kan) that Vernage created by temporary fusing the Genius Bottle with the Gold Rabbit and Silver Dragon Fullbottles. Sento assumes the form while absorbing Ryūga during their fight against Kamen Rider Blood. After defeating the Blood Tribe, the Cross-ZBuild Can separated back into three components. His finisher is the Love and Peace Finish (ラブ&ピースフィニッシュRobu Ando Pīsu Finisshu).

Ryūga Banjō[edit]
Ryūga Banjō (万丈 龍我Banjō Ryūga) is a 23-year-old former professional fighter who was born in Yokohama. Prior to his birth, a portion of Evolto's essence, which had come to Earth via a Martian probe, fused with the unborn Ryūga in a failed attempt to possess his mother Yuri Banjō (万丈 優里Banjō Yuri) at the probe exhibit. As a result, Ryūga was born after only two months of gestation, and spent much of his childhood being tested by Namba Industries. Ryūga was orphaned at age 13 when his parents died in a traffic accident, and it was revealed in Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z that Evolto actually murdered them to raise their son's Hazard Level. Takumi Katsuragi, the founder of Faust, learned of Ryūga's nature and hired him under false pretenses, intending to kill both Sōichi Isurugi into Ryūga while they were possessed by Evolto. Takumi's plan backfires, and Ryūga is framed for Takumi's apparent death. Ryūga was kidnapped from prison by Faust's agent Nabeshima for experimentation. Due to his half-alien physiology, Ryūga manages to escape and is found by Sento who hopes to learn of his past. Shortly after, Ryūga is forced to watch his girlfriend Kasumi Ogura be turned into a Smash, dying due to her low Hazard Level. Sento gave him the Dragon Fullbottle containing her Smash essence as a keepsake, and later a small robotic dragon-like companion known as the Cross-Z Dragon (クローズドラゴンKurōzu Doragon).
Ryūga is given a copy of the Build Driver from Sento, and adopted the mantle of Kamen Rider Cross-Z (仮面ライダークローズKamen Raidā Kurōzu). As time passed, Ryūga received upgrades as evolutions of Cross-Z. Ryūga learned of his true origins from Vernage while manipulated by Evolto's machinations to strengthen his alien genes to make him a more-suitable host.
During the events of the film Be the One, manipulated by Kengo Inō to attack Sento, Ryūga played a role in Sento's ability to assume Cross-ZBuild Form when the absorbed him to defeat Kamen Rider Blood.
In the final clash against Evolto, Ryūga sacrifices himself to restrain a weakened Evolto as they are sucked into a wormhole created by the complete Pandora Box, with Evolto absorbing him in a final attempt to survive. Sento frees Ryūga as the alien is permanently destroyed. Due to Sento's actions, the Pandora Box transports Ryūga into the 'Prime' Kamen Rider universe after it absorbed his reality. Sento finds him after running into the prime universe's Ryūga, an active sports fighter in a relationship with his reality's Kasumi. Ryūga then joins Sento in making a new life for themselves. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z, Ryūga lives with Sento and makes a living selling Sento's experiments, until he meets Yui Mabuchi and joins forces with Evolto to defeat Killbus.
Due to Ryūga's alien origins and the experiments done on him by Faust, he has extraordinary abilities such as increased strength, being able to raise his Hazard Level faster than usual and manipulating the Pandora Box. Once reaching Hazard Level 7, Ryūga transformed the Dragon Fullbottle into the Silver Dragon Fullbottle. Although a strong fighter, Ryūga is easily provoked and not too intelligent. However, he was kind-hearted and generally puts others before himself. During Evolto's awakening of Phase 4, Cross-Z suffers from uncontrollable rage of his past life as Evolto, which also granted him the power of manipulating black holes at a smaller rate before they were ultimately neutralized when Vernage's essence was transferred into him during Misora's rescue.
The original Kamen Rider Cross-Z transforms by inserting the Dragon Fullbottle into the Cross-Z Dragon, which in turn is then inserted into the Build Driver. Aside from gaining symmetrical Halfbodies, Cross-Z obtains the Drago Live Razor (ドラゴライブレイザーDorago Raibu Reizā) torso armor that allows him to channel Cross-Z Dragon Blaze (クローズドラゴン・ブレイズKurōzu Doragon Bureizu) energy flames as attacks and empower his Dragonic Finish (ドラゴニックフィニッシュDoragonikku Finisshu) finisher. Unlike Build, Cross-Z can utilize the Dragon Fullbottle's powers due to the Cross-Z Dragon negating its side effects. His main weapon is the sword-like Beat Closer (ビートクローザーBīto Kurōzā), which like the Drill Crusher can hold a Fullbottle for Cross-Z to perform one of three Special Tune (スペシャルチューンSupesharu Chūn) finishers: Smash Slash (スマッシュスラッシュSumasshu Surasshu), Million Slash (ミリオンスラッシュMirion Surasshu), or Mega Slash (メガスラッシュMega Surasshu). Said weapon is usually empowered by his Lock Fullbottle.
Additional forms:
- Kamen Rider Cross-Z Charge (仮面ライダークローズチャージKamen Raidā Kurōzu Chāji) is a silver-colored upgrade that was accessed by the finalized Sclash Driver (スクラッシュドライバーSukurasshu Doraibā) and a Dragon Sclashjelly (スクラッシュゼリーSukurasshu Zerī). Sento was meant to use it at the height of Hokuto's invasion on Touto but was forced to relinquish it to Ryūga for his higher Hazard Level. His finisher is the Scrap Break (スクラップブレイクSukurappu Bureiku). Cross-Z Charge's main weapon is the Twin Breaker (ツインブレイカーTsuin Bureikā), which has a gun-like Beam Mode and a jackhammer-like Attack Mode. Unlike the Drill Crusher and Beat Closer, the Twin Breaker can hold up to two Fullbottles and Sclashjellies, and either the RabbitTank Sparkling or the Cross-Z Dragon, for him to perform its finisher. Inserting an organic Fullbottle into the Sclash Driver allows Cross-Z Charge to perform the Charge Crash (チャージクラッシュChāji Kurasshu), having once utilized the Taka Fullbottle for flight purposes. However, usage of the Sclash Driver exposes Ryūga to unfiltered Nebula Gas which causes him to become aggressive until he is later able to overcome this effect. This form was lost when Ryūga shielded Vernage at the cost of Dragon Sclashjelly. Although another Dragon Sclashjelly was created, he lent it to Grease as Cross-Z favors his later upgrades instead. Ryūga again uses this form in Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z and in Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever.
- Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma (仮面ライダークローズマグマKamen Raidā Kurōzu Maguma), a.k.a. the 'Extreme Heat Muscle' (極熱筋肉Gokunetsu Kinniku), is Cross-Z's first final form, accessed by inserting the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle (クローズマグマナックルKurōzu Maguma Nakkuru) loaded with the Dragon Magma (ドラゴンマグマDoragon Maguma) Fullbottle into the Build Driver. Although its purpose as an upgraded form was envisioned, further developments were put on hold as the three Riders tried to storm the Pandora Tower until Ryūga's own resolve completed the Dragon Magma Fullbottle as the final component. By himself, Cross-Z Magma can channel Variable Magma (ヴァリアブルマグマVariaburu Maguma) as empowerment for attacks, creating snake-dragon constructs and manifesting a pair of wings for flight. His finisher in this form is the Volcanic Finish (ボルケニックフィニッシュBorukenikku Finisshu). With the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle as a handheld weapon, he can perform the Volcanic Knuckle (ボルケニックナックルBorukenikku Nakkuru) finisher by channeling the power of any Fullbottles it utilized. Before relinquishing it to Grease, Cross-Z Magma was briefly in possession of the incomplete Blizzard Knuckle (ブリザードナックルBurizādo Nakkuru), having aided in its creation. With the Silver Dragon Fullbottle, he can perform Glacial Knuckle (グレイシャルナックルGureisharu Nakkuru) finisher and weaken Evolto's DNA. In the final battle on Pandora Tower, use the Hazard Trigger, which allows him to fight on par with Evol Black Hole Form before the latter's transition into his monster form.
- Kamen Rider Great Cross-Z (仮面ライダーグレートクローズKamen Raidā Gurēto Kurōzu) is an upgraded variant of the original Cross-Z, accessed by inserting the Great Cross-Z Dragon (グレートクローズドラゴンGurēto Kurōzu Doragon) loaded with the Great Dragon (グレートドラゴンGurēto Doragon) Evol-Bottle into the Build Driver. Having lost Evolto's genes on his body after his liberation from possession, Ryūga regains it by stealing the Dragon Evol-Bottle as it upgraded into its current form. His finisher in this form is the Great Dragonic Finish (グレートドラゴニックフィニッシュGurēto Doragonikku Finisshu).
- Kamen Rider Cross-Z Evol (仮面ライダークローズエボルKamen Raidā Kurōzu Eboru), a.k.a. the 'The Invincible Galaxy Muscle Guy' (銀河無敵の筋肉野郎Ginga Muteki no Kinniku Yarō), is Cross-Z's second final form accessed by using the Muscle Galaxy (マッスルギャラクシーMassuru Gyarakushī) Fullbottle in the Build Driver. It combines the power of Cross-Z and Evol in addition, Ryūga absorbs Evol by using this form, invoking Evol's Black Hole Form. This form has three finishers: Muscle Finish (マッスルフィニッシュMassuru Finisshu), Galaxy Finish (ギャラクシーフィニッシュGyarakushī Finisshu), Muscle Galaxy Finish (マッスルギャラクシーフィニッシュMassuru Gyarakushī Finisshu). This form is exclusive to Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z.
Ryūga Banjō is portrayed by Eiji Akaso (赤楚 衛二Akaso Eiji).
Misora Isurugi[edit]
Misora Isurugi (石動 美空Isurugi Misora) is Sōichi's 19-year-old daughter who works as Sento's assistant. She gained supernatural power after being exposed to the Pandora Box and spending seven years in a coma. She played a role in Project Build, as Evolto used Sōichi's memories of her drawings of organic and inorganic-based objects to influence Shinobu in developing the Best Match aspect of the technology. She was kidnapped by Faust for experimentation until Sōichi rescued her a year ago. Fearing that Faust is still hunting her, she remained in Nascita while using her online idol identity Mii-tan (みーたんMītan) to gather Smash intel and occasionally money from her fanbase. Misora was unaware that her father is actually a high-ranking Faust agent who used her, Sento and Ryūga as tools to create a Kamen Rider army within Touto, though she may have learned of this while being driven to despair. She later uses her powers to cure Taizan Himuro of Sōichi's poison so he can resume his duties as Touto's prime minister and thereafter discovers that her father is possessed by Evolto, the true villain committing the crimes.
Misora possesses the ability to purify and enhance Nebula Gas which made her a target of Faust. Initially, using the ability put her to sleep for a week; Sento later developed a machine to mitigate this. After she is nearly killed by a berserk Build Hazard Form, her ability increases so that she can purify the higher Nebula Gas concentrations like those from the Hazard Trigger. Sento used her power to create the FullFull RabbitTank Bottle and Fullbottle Buster to negate the Hazard Trigger's side-effects. During the invasion by Seito, the western part of Japan, Misora's Martian bracelet is revealed to house the spirit of the Martian Vernage and the source of Misora's power. Misora was later kidnapped by Evolto and turned into the CD Lost Smash (CDロストスマッシュShī Dī Rosuto Sumasshu) that can throw Glare Slicer (グレアスライサーGurea Suraisā) discs. Sento saves her by extracting Vernage to render Misora completely human and transfers the alien into Ryūga.
After the universes are merged at the conclusion of the series, an alternate Misora is shown to be a waitress at her father's café. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z she recovers the memories of her alternate self after Killbus began the process of destruction with the Pandora Box. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease she runs Piccolo Nascita, a mobile café. After Downfall is defeated, she starts dating Kazumi.[relevant?]
Misora Isurugi is portrayed by Kaho Takada (高田 夏帆Takada Kaho). As a child, Misora is portrayed by Noel Moriyama (森山 のえるMoriyama Noeru).
Sawa Takigawa[edit]
Sawa Takigawa (滝川 紗羽Takigawa Sawa) is a 27-year-old freelance journalist dedicated to learning about Build and the Smash. Build saved her from the Needle Smash, and she assists Sento after learning his true identity. While she is a spy for Namba Heavy Industries, Sawa is actually using her position to investigate the cover-up of an industrial accident she believes killed her father. When Misora exposed her duplicity, Sawa is punished by being turned into the octopus-themed Stretch Smash (ストレッチスマッシュSutoretchi Sumasshu) before she is defeated by Ryūga with Sento extracting the Nebula Gas from her system. She then decides to atone for her actions and join forces with Sento's group to fight against Namba and Faust. Sawa becomes protective of Misora, especially after learning of the younger woman's past.
Sawa is later revealed to be a brainwashed Namba agent, her motivating drive about her father being a fabrication. She was supposed to let herself die after failing Namba's mission but the familial bonds she made with Sento and the others gave her a reason to live and influenced her decision to cut ties with Namba. Sawa accomplishes this by aiding Sento in the ploy to trick Namba by giving him a fragment of Sento's research on the FullFull RabbitTank Bottle; Kazumi rescues the Nabeshima family whom Namba held hostage as leverage against Sawa, freeing her from Namba's control. She later helps take care of Sōichi, who had entered a coma after Evolto releases him from his control.
After Sento merged his world with that of the 'Prime' Kamen Rider universe, an alternate Sawa is shown to also be working as a journalist. She nervously passed a business card to this new world's version of Gentoku for an interview. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z she recovers the memories of her alternate self after Killbus began the process of destruction with the Pandora Box. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease she reveals to Sento and Ryūga that she is dating Gentoku.[relevant?]
Sawa Takigawa is portrayed by Yukari Taki (滝 裕可里Taki Yukari).
Sōichi Isurugi[edit]
Sōichi Isurugi (石動 惣一Isurugi Sōichi) is the enigmatic 48-year-old owner of Nascita and Misora's father who is actually Faust's high-ranking member Blood Stalk (ブラッドスタークBuraddo Sutāku). He is a kind-hearted man and a good friend to Takumi's father Shinobu Katsuragi. Ten years prior to the series, he was the astronaut who discovered the abandoned Evol-Driver and the Pandora Box on Mars. This resulted in his possession by the alien entity Evolto who used him to commit numerous atrocities including the Skywall Disaster, framing Shinobu, and manipulating Takumi and Misora for his own ends. Sōichi's personality occasionally resurfaces to briefly fight Evolto before being suppressed. Sōichi was tricked into thinking that Evolto would leave his body upon retrieving the Evol-Driver, ending up in a coma; in the meantime Evolto possessed Ryūga then Sento before creating his own body in Sōichi's image.
After Sento merged his world with that of the 'Prime' Kamen Rider universe, an alternate Sōichi is shown as an ordinary café-owner of Nascita, when Killbus restored the Pandora Box because Sōichi was never experienced with Nebula Gas, he was unable to recover his memories.[relevant?]
Due to being possessed by Evolto, Sōichi gains several inhuman abilities. He can transmute matter, as shown when he transformed his tablet computer into pieces of paper. He can reshape a person's face and manipulate their memories. He can quickly leap into the air to escape.
When Evolto possessed him, Sōichi uses the Cobra (コブラKobura) Fullbottle to transform into Blood Stalk. As Blood Stalk, he can poison his opponents by stabbing them with an appendage, and hack Touto's Guardians with a simple flick. Through his animal motif, he can summon a projection of a large cobra for various applications. With the Devil Steam, he is able to either release Nebula Gas to change regular people into Smash via the Steam Blade or inject a Smash with a Nebula Gas-filled bullet to enlarge them into giants via the Steam Rifle. Via Rocket Fullbottle, Stalk can launch guided energy missiles.
Sōichi Isurugi is portrayed by Yasuyuki Maekawa (前川 泰之Maekawa Yasuyuki).
Sawatari Farm[edit]
Sawatari Farm (猿渡ファームSawatari Fāmu) is the Sawatari family's potato farm in Hokuto, the northern region of Japan isolated by the Skywall Disaster. As the disaster made the region's soil infertile, Kazumi used his life's savings to support his workers. To continue doing so, he enlisted in the military, followed by a group of his farm workers who formed a unit called the Hokuto Three Crows. The remaining workers were all loyal to him, to the point of refusing his arrival when Namba Heavy Industries used them as hostages.
Kazumi Sawatari[edit]
Kazumi Sawatari (猿渡 一海Sawatari Kazumi) is a 29-year-old soldier from Hokuto and the current owner of his farm. In hopes of obtaining more financial support, Kazumi volunteered for Hokuto's military and underwent Faust's human experimentation. Lying about his memory loss, Kazumi continued using the Sclash Driver which turned him into a bloodthirsty fighter, though he was able to keep his bloodlust under control. However, he despises cruelty; he threatened Hokuto's prime minister for ordering troops to target civilians during their invasion of Touto. He cares for his co-workers' welfare and was visibly upset when the Hokuto Three Crows underwent additional Nebula Gas infusion, knowing that their next defeat would guarantee their deaths. He is a fan of Misora, having watched her performances alongside his co-workers.
Having first infiltrated Touto during the events of Heisei Generations Final to reclaim Build's Phoenix and Robot Fullbottles for Hokuto, Kazumi is deployed to lead the Hokuto army to invade Touto. His alter-ego, Kamen Rider Grease (仮面ライダーグリスKamen Raidā Gurisu), was created based on the Robot Fullbottle. The invasion ends with Grease defeated by Build HawkGatling Hazard, and Cross-Z Charge saving Grease when Sento's Hazard Trigger goes berserk. During Seito's attack on Hokuto and Touto, he joins forces with those from Nascita in hopes of reclaiming his country. The Three Crows are killed and he gradually comes to terms with the loss, making peace with Sento and Gentoku. In hopes of catching up with Build and Cross-Z's growth in power, Kazumi and Gentoku allowed themselves to be kidnapped to forcefully raise their Hazard Levels at the risk of their lives.
Kazumi fought alongside the Touto Riders in order to stop Evolto's genocidal plans. During that time, Sento created the Blizzard Knuckle for Grease, but made it incompatible with Sclash Driver which might have been fatal. When facing powerful replicas of the Three Crows which Evolto created as his enforcers, Kazumi uses the Blizzard Knuckle in Shinobu's Build Driver to destroy the copies at the cost of his life, dissipating in Misora's arms.
After Sento merged the worlds at the end of the series, an alternate Hokuto Three Crows try to set Kazumi on a blind date with Misora at Nascita. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z he recovers the memories of his alternate self along with the power to transform into Grease after Killbus began the process of destruction with the Pandora Box, helping Ryūga in his fight against Killbus. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease he starts dating Misora after Downfall is defeated.[relevant?]
By himself, the injection of Nebula Gas allows Kazumi to utilize a Fullbottle's power at a smaller rate, which was enough to incinerate a Hazard Smash. He has the following forms:
- The original Kamen Rider Grease is transformed through the use of the Sclash Driver and Robot Sclashjelly, with his finisher being the Scrap Finish (スクラップックフィニッシュSukurappu Finisshu). His main weapon is the Twin Breaker, which channels the power of either two Fullbottles or one mixed with his Robot Sclashjelly. By inserting an inorganic Fullbottle into the Sclash Driver, Grease can perform the Discharge Crash (ディスチャージクラッシュDisuchāji Kurasshu), manifesting Variable Jelly (ヴァリアブルゼリーVariaburu Zerī) per various attacks or means of transportation. Before receiving his own upgraded form, Grease was provided another Dragon Sclashjelly, allowing him to utilize another copy of the Twin Breaker and therefore saving his life from disappearing as a result of his heightened Hazard Level.
- Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard (仮面ライダーグリスブリザードKamen Raidā Gurisu Burizādo), a.k.a. the 'Frozen Soul Fire' (激凍心火Gekitō Shinka), is accessed by inserting the Grease Blizzard Knuckle (グリスブリザードナックルGurisu Burizādo Nakkuru) loaded with the North Blizzard (ノースブリザードNōsu Burizādo) Fullbottle into the Build Driver that originally belonged to Shinobu. In this form, Grease Blizzard is armed with the GBZ Demolition One (GBZデモリションワンJī Bī Zetto Demorishon Wan) on his left arm and can generate Variable Ice (ヴァリアブルアイスVariaburu Aisu) frozen liquid to empower his attacks. The GBZ Demolition One allows him to perform the Glacial Attack (グレイシャルアタックGureisharu Atakku), whereas his true finisher is the Glacial Finish (グレイシャルフィニッシュGureisharu Finisshu). The Grease Blizzard Knuckle was created by Sento as a countermeasure for Evolto. Initially wielded by Cross-Z Magma, Kazumi was given the weapon with the North Blizzard Fullbottle. Kazumi returns using this form in Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease.
- Kamen Rider Grease Perfect Kingdom (グリスパーフェクトキングダムGurisu Pāfekuto Kingudamu), a.k.a. the Farmers Festival (ファーマーズフェスティバルFāmāzu Fesutibaru), this form is the fusion of the powers of Kazumi with the Hokuto Three Crows at the cost of the life of these last three, this form is also accessed with the Build Driver. This form has 2 different finishers: Stag Slash (スタッグスラッシュStaggu Surasshu) and Perfect Kingdom Finish (パーフェクトキングダムフィニッシュPāfekuto Kingudamu Finisshu). This form is exclusive to Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease.
Kazumi Sawatari is portrayed by Kouhei Takeda (武田 航平Takeda Kōhei). The numbers on his character's dog tags are a play on the name of a character he previously portrayed in Kamen Rider Kiva, Otoya Kurenai.
Hokuto Three Crows[edit]
The Hokuto Three Crows (北都三羽ガラスHokuto Sanba Garasu) are a group of Hokuto soldiers who were originally workers of the Sawatari farm who enlisted to repay a debt to their former employer. Using Shinobu Katsuragi's Lost Fullbottles, they are each able to transform into enhanced form of the Smash known as Hard Smash (ハードスマッシュHādo Sumasshu) and later the stronger Hazard Smash (ハザードスマッシュHazādo Sumasshu), which gave increased strength but killed the user if they are knocked out of a transformation. Following their deaths, Grease kept their Bottles as memorabilia and had once combined their energies to perform a stronger attack. Evolto later creates corrupted copies of them to serve as his enforcers, but Kamen Rider Grease gave his life to destroy them. When Sento fuses the two worlds an alternate Hokuto Three Crows are seen entering the cafeteria Nascita together with Kazumi. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z they recover the memories of their alternate self along with the power to transform into Smash after Killbus began the process of destruction with the Pandora Box.
Akaba[edit]
Akaba (赤羽), real name Masaru Ooyama (大山 勝Ōyama Masaru), uses the Castle (キャッスルKyassuru) Fullbottle to transform into the Castle Hard Smash (キャッスルハードスマッシュKyassuru Hādo Sumasshu) that has the Catapulta Cannon (カタプルタキャノンKatapuruta Kyanon) on his head and the two Ground Rampart (グランドランパートGurando Ranpāto) shields on his shoulder pads. He seems to possess a violent streak when he attacks civilians without hesitation, but is ultimately loyal to Kazumi, following his decisions even when he questions them. When Seito invaded Touto to steal the Pandora Box, Akaba sacrificed his life to protect it from Gentoku, but ultimately failed to prevent the theft.
Akaba is portrayed by Eishin (栄信).
Aoba[edit]
Aoba (青羽), real name Syuuya Aikawa (相河 修也Aikawa Shūya), uses the Kuwagata (クワガタ, Stag beetle) Fullbottle to transform into the stag beetle-themed Stag Hard Smash (スタッグハードスマッシュSutaggu Hādo Sumasshu) that is armed with two sword-like Rapture Scissors (ラプチャーシザースRapuchā Shizāsu). Despite his looks and mannerisms, Aoba is one of the kinder members of the Three Crows. He is unexpectedly killed during battle when Build goes on a rampage and uses the Hazard Finish against him. Aoba's death shocked both his own comrades and the Touto Riders, especially Sento who became depressed for taking a life. Kazumi later forgives Sento.
Aoba is portrayed by Tateto Serizawa (芹澤 興人Serizawa Tateto).
Kiba[edit]
Kiba (黄羽), real name Syoukichi Mihara (三原 聖吉Mihara Shōkichi), uses the Fukurou (フクロウFukurō, Owl) Fullbottle to transform into the Owl Hard Smash (オウルハードスマッシュŌru Hādo Sumasshu) that has the two Forest Seeker (フォレストシーカーForesuto Shīkā) drones on his gauntlets. He behaves childishly, even acting literally like a child throwing a fit when defeated by Build in one battle. After Aoba's death, he becomes bitter and increasingly violent in combat. While trying to defend his homeland from Seito's invasion, Kiba becomes the Washio Brothers' hostage to force Kazumi into serving Seito. Despite Kazumi's effort to save him, Kiba is killed protecting Kazumi. His bottle is then used by a brainwashed Prime Minister Tajimi, until Build freed her from Nebula Gas exposure.
Kiba is portrayed by Takuya Yoshimura (吉村 卓也Yoshimura Takuya).
Faust[edit]
Faust (ファウストFausuto) is a mysterious terrorist organization that experiment on humans to create the Smash creatures. It was founded by Touto scientists Takumi Katsuragi and Gentoku Himuro. They are in possession of one of the Pandora Box's panels that was split during the Skywall Disaster, along with Nebula Gas they extracted from the Skywall and liquefied for the development of Fullbottles. According to Gentoku, Faust's objectives are to achieve Takumi's goals of evolving humanity into the 'ultimate lifeform'. The organization was compromised by Evolto and Namba who sought to reassemble the Pandora Box and repeat the calamity that destroyed the ancient Martian civilization.
Since forming in Touto, Faust members infiltrated the Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics (東都先端物質学研究所Tōto Sentan Busshitsugaku Kenkyūjo), which had been studying the Pandora Box and protecting it from neighboring countries. Despite their pacifist ideals and public image as peacekeepers, Touto Institute was influenced by Faust to mass-produce weapons and use lethal force when pursuing convicts. During Gentoku's temporary takeover as the prime minister, Faust relocated from Touto and manipulated the two other nations into a war to acquire all of the Pandora Box panels and reassemble it to take over the Earth, when Evolto revealed his true plans. The organization then reorganized under Evolto's control.
Faust's leaders use the Transteam System (トランスチームシステムToransuchīmu Shisutemu), which Takumi Katsuragi reverse-engineered from Kaisei Mogami's Kaiser System. It requires organic Fullbottles to transform, with their identities concealed by built-in voice changers in their armor. Their main weapons are the Transteam Gun (トランスチームガンToransuchīmu Gan) which allows them to perform the Steam Break (スチームブレイクSuchīmu Bureiku) and Steam Attack (スチームアタックSuchīmu Atakku) finishers, and the Steam Blade (スチームブレードSuchīmu Burēdo) which allows them to execute the Elek Steam (エレキスチームEreki Suchīmu), Ice Steam (アイススチームAisu Suchīmu) and Devil Steam (デビルスチームDebiru Suchīmu) attacks. Each of the leaders can also combine their weapons into the Steam Rifle (スチームライフルSuchīmu Raifuru) to perform one of two finishers: Steam Shot (スチームショットSuchīmu Shotto) or Steam Attack.
Gentoku Himuro[edit]
Gentoku Himuro (氷室 幻徳Himuro Gentoku) is the 35-year-old special advisor to his father, Prime Minister Taizan Himuro, and head of the Touto Institute. Initially a kind, friendly and laid-back eccentric, radiation from the Skywall Disaster transformed him into a sadistic and paranoid power-hungry maniac, who performed questionable acts for Touto's safety after deeming his father's pacifism a liability. Gentoku orchestrated Takumi's expulsion from Touto Institute to cover for the Devil's Scientist while unknowingly being manipulated by Sōichi Isurugi (and by extension, Evolto and Namba). After taking his late friend's position as the prime minister's advisor, Gentoku took the mantle of Night Rogue and declared his leadership over Faust.
Gentoku took advantage of Sento and Ryūga to gather more Fullbottles, perfecting most of Takumi's Rider Systems and reclaiming the Pandora Box. Gentoku was elevated to prime minister after Stalk incapacitated his father and forced the two Kamen Riders to be inducted into Touto's military. After sending Cross-Z Charge to invade Hokuto, he was dismissed by Taizan and sentenced to exile. This forced him to seek refuge at Namba Heavy Industries and served Seito's military as Kamen Rider Rogue. The experiment Gentoku received to raise his Hazard Level rendered him a near-emotionless nihilist with a restraining chip to ensure obedience, while reversing the negative effects from the Skywall radiation. Although working under Namba, Gentoku secretly assisted the Riders. During an operation to rescue Taizan, Sento deactivated the restraining chip, allowing Gentoku to return at the cost of Evolto regaining his power as Kamen Rider Evol. After Taizan sacrifices himself to save Gentoku, Gentoku begins to seek redemption by allying himself with the Riders against Evolto and Namba, and begins to atone his past actions while reverting to his true personality.
Gentoku's initial Hazard Level is 3, raised to 4 by Namba Heavy Industries experimentation so that he can use the Sclash Driver. In hopes of matching the growth of Build and Cross-Z, both Kazumi and Gentoku allowed themselves to be captured and heavily dosed with Nebula Gas to further raise their Hazard Levels. As the battle against Evolto reaches the climax, Gentoku is distraught when Utsumi sacrifices himself and Kazumi falls in battle. He ultimately dies protecting the others during a clash with Evolto, successfully landing a critical blow on the alien.
When the universes are merged at the conclusion of the series, an alternate Gentoku is working as a personal aide to his father, with a shy but polite attitude towards his world's version of Sawa. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z he recovers the memories of his alternate self and the power to transform into Rogue after Killbus began the process of destruction with the Pandora Box, helping Ryūga in his fight against Killbus. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease he reveals to Sento and Ryūga that he is dating Sawa.[relevant?]
Gentoku's forms are accessed through the Transteam system and/or Sclash Driver:
- Night Rogue (ナイトローグNaito Rōgu) is Gentoku's first transformation as the leader of Faust, accessed through the use of the Transteam Gun loaded with the Lost Fullbottle counterpart of the Bat Fullbottle. Aside from being a skilled combatant, he can manipulate steams from his body for quick travel and an electrical energy punch. Through his animal motif, he is capable of clinging to ceilings and creating a pair of bat wings, allowing him to swoop about at high speeds while performing powerful dive-bomb attacks. These items were relinquished to Utsumi once Gentoku became Kamen Rider Rogue.
- Kamen Rider Rogue (仮面ライダーローグKamen Raidā Rōgu) is Gentoku's later alter-ego, accessed through the use of the Sclash Driver in conjunction with the Crocodile Crack (クロコダイルクラックKurokodairu Kurakku) Fullbottle. Having strength that rivals even Build's Hazard forms, he is armed with the Nebula Steam Gun. Using the Sclash Driver, Rogue can perform the Crack Up Finish (クラックアップフィニッシュKurakku Appu Finisshu) finisher. Using the Nebula Steam Gun, he can perform one of two finishers; the Funky Break (ファンキーブレイクFankī Bureiku) in its Gun Mode or the Funky Shot (ファンキーショットFankī Shotto) in its Rifle Mode. As with the general function of both Sclash Drivers and Nebula Steam Gun, Gentoku can utilize the power of a single Fullbottle and auxiliary attacks.
- Kamen Rider Prime Rogue (仮面ライダーロープライムローグKamen Raidā Puraimu Rōgu) is an upgraded form of Kamen Rider Rogue, accessed by using the Prime Rogue Fullbottle in the Build Driver. This form's finisher is the Prime Scrap Break (プライムスクラップブレイクPuraimu Sukurappu Bureiku) and the Fullbottle breaks after its usage due to Gentoku's reckless usage, requiring a month to fix it. This form only appears in Kamen Rider Prime Rogue and Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease.
Gentoku Himuro is portrayed by Kensei Mikami (水上 剣星Mikami Kensei).
Faust agents[edit]
Masahiro Nabeshima[edit]
Masahiro Nabeshima (鍋島 正弘Nabeshima Masahiro) is a prison guard who frames Ryūga Banjō for the death of Touto Institute researcher Takumi Katsuragi, then delivers Ryūga to Faust for experimentation. After luring Sento and Ryūga to Seito, he was converted into Mirage Smash as a 'reward' and later into Square Smash as part of Blood Stalk's experiment. Although rescued by Build and Ryūga, the experiments erased almost all of his memories. Sometime later, he regained his memories and revealed information about Faust to Sento, including Blood Stalk's identity. He and his family later are captured by Namba and used to force Sawa to betray her friends.
- Mirage Smash (ミラージュスマッシュMirāju Sumasshu): Nabeshima's swordsman/ninja-themed first transformation. He is armed with two sword-like Slismashers (スライスマッシャーSuraisumasshā) and can create illusions of himself from the two lantern-like Mirage Summoners (ミラージュサモナーMirāju Samonā) on his shoulder pads. His Smash essence was collected and purified to make the Ninjya Fullbottle.
- Square Smash (スクエアスマッシュSukuea Sumasshu): Nabeshima's cube/comic panel-themed second transformation upon his kidnapping by Blood Stalk. He is armed with a pen-like blade on his right arm called the Area Cut Pen (エリアカットペンEria Katto Pen), which can create portals to attack from behind, slice through large buildings with a single cut and create blocks from various materials. He was used by Blood Stalk to lure Build and was enlarged before being defeated. His Smash essence was collected and purified to make the Comic Fullbottle.
Masahiro Nabeshima is portrayed by Ichi Omiya (市オオミヤIchi Ōmiya).
Eita Kawai[edit]
Eita Kawai (河合 栄多Kawai Eita) is a researcher in the Touto Institute and one of Katsuragi's sympathizers. He uploaded data of Pandora Box before the Faust army stole it. Blood Stalk transformed him into the Press Smash Hazard (プレススマッシュハザードPuresu Sumasshu Hazādo) to fight Ryūga Banjō, but he was easily defeated. A weakened Kawai was reverted to his human form by Stalk, who erased his memories and altered his face to look like Kuwata.
Eita Kawai is portrayed by Tsukasa Honjo (本庄 司Honjō Tsukasa).
Shingo Kuwata[edit]
Shingo Kuwata (桑田 真吾Kuwata Shingo) is Touto Institute researcher and a Katsuragi sympathizer. He uses his Fullbottle to become a version of the Flying Smash. After being defeated by Build, he reveals that he was meant to lure Build away from Faust's raid to steal the Pandora Box. Before committing suicide, he reveals that Takumi had been faking his death.
Shingo Kuwata is portrayed by Ryo Yoshida (吉田 亮Yoshida Ryō).
Guardians[edit]
The Guardians (ガーディアンGādian) are enforcement androids mass-produced by Namba Industries as peacekeepers of each country, though it is initially not known that they are supporting governments outside Touto. They also act as Faust sleeper agents awaiting activation by Blood Stalk.
They are armed with the Safeguard Rifles (セーフガードライフルSēfugādo Raifuru) and ride motorcycles called Capital Roaders (キャピタルローダーKyapitaru Rōdā). A large number of them can combine together to form a single gigantic robot equipped with multiple guns. Under Faust's servitude, the reprogrammed Guardians can act as suicide bombers.
Namba Heavy Industries[edit]
Namba Heavy Industries Ltd (難波重工Nanba Jūkō) is a company established by Jūzaburō Namba which provides financial support to Faust. Because of its pervasive influence, all three countries attempted to distance themselves from Namba, although the company has agents placed within the governments' infrastructures. After Evolto murdered and assumed the identity of Seito Prime Minister Midō, Namba Heavy Industries uses Seito's resources to launch an invasion of Touto and construct the Pandora Tower (パンドラタワーPandora Tawā) to create an empire with the Pandora Box. However, Evolto uses them as pawns and destroys the company.
Jūzaburō Namba[edit]
Jūzaburō Namba (難波 重三郎Nanba Jūzaburō) is the corrupt and war-mongering chairman of Namba. He initially collaborates with Faust and Evolto to acquire the Build system for military applications, but has a secret agenda to use the Pandora Box's energy to create weapons of mass destruction. He also brainwashed children to act as his agents, including Sawa Takigawa. A power-hungry man with a god complex, he will do anything to attain his goals. However, he is not completely cruel as he was shown to be close to Nariaki Utsumi in flashbacks.
His ultimate goal is to use the power of the Pandora Box to reform Japan, and eventually the entire world, under his rule and in his image. However, Evolto exploited him for its own agenda. Namba then requests aid from the Kamen Riders against Evolto, but they fail and Namba is killed by Evolto while begging for his life.
In the merged universe at the end of the series, an alternate Namba owns a metalworking factory known as Namba Machine Workshop (難波機械製作所Nanba Kikai Seisakusho), rather than a huge weapons manufacturer.[relevant?]
Jūzaburō Namba is portrayed by Akira Hamada (浜田 晃Hamada Akira), while Norimasa Fuke portrays Namba's disguise as Masakuni Midō.
Namba Children[edit]
The Namba Children (難波チルドレンNanba Chirudoren) are scientists, soldiers and spies who were brainwashed by Jūzaburō Namba from an early age. They are positioned as sleeper agents within Touto, Hokuto and Seito to inform for Namba while acquiring whatever Namba needs.
Nariaki Utsumi[edit]
Nariaki Utsumi (内海 成彰Nariaki Utsumi) is the 28-year-old secretary of Himuro who was formally a Touto Institute scientist. Despite his commitment to Faust, Gentoku and Namba Heavy Industries, Utsumi expresses regret over his life choices, even commenting to Sento about their similar predicaments. In order to conceal Faust's activities, Utsumi became a scapegoat by masquerading as Night Rogue. His attempted suicide is stopped by Sento, but Utsumi is gravely injured and converted into a cyborg by Evolto. Utsumi then returned to Namba as his spokesperson and developed the Rider Systems for Hokuto and Seito, gathering data on the Hazard Trigger while perfecting the Kaiser System. Although he seemed to become more open-minded, Utsumi was actually a callous sadist and completely loyal to Namba.
After Evolto turns on Namba and killed him, Utsumi faked losing his sanity and was recruited as Evolto's enforcer, Kamen Rider Mad Rogue, briefly serving as a host to a fragment of the alien's body. But as Evolto neared his end goal, Utsumi reveals his deception and allies himself with Gentoku to avenge Namba while destroying Evolto's replicas of the Washio Brothers. Though his cybernetics burn out as Evolto defeats him, Utsumi sacrifices himself to shield Gentoku and Sawa from the alien's attack.
After the worlds are merged at the end of the series, an alternate Utsumi is shown working in Namba's metalwork factory. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z, when Killbus restored the Pandora Box, Utsumi's lack of Nebula Gas administration prevented him from regaining the memories of his alternate self. But despite that in Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease he recovers the memories of his alternate self along with his powers of Kamen Rider through the injection of Nebula Gas.
Utsumi twice became Night Rogue as a decoy. His modification on Night Rogue grants him the ability to analyze his opponent through his visor. As the creator of the perfected Kaiser System, Utsumi is able to transform into Hell Bros using the Nebula Steam Gun. As Hell Bros, his main weapon is the Nebula Steam Gun and the Steam Blade.
With the Evol-Driver Utsumi can become Kamen Rider Mad Rogue (仮面ライダーマッドローグKamen Raidā Maddo Rōgu) by using the Bat (バットBatto) and Engine (エンジンEnjin) Fullbottles the Evol-Driver's Evol Match (エボルマッチEboru Matchi) scrambles both elements of Fullbottles into a symmetrical form and his is specially tuned for human use. As Utsumi was planning to betray Evolto from the beginning, his Evol-Driver was modified to imitate Evolto's Phase evolution but the full power was too much for his cybernetics to handle. His finisher is the Evoltic Attack (エボルテックアタックEborutekku Atakku), which can be performed by channeling either his main Fullbottles or a different Fullbottle without changing his form. In a similar vein to Evolto, Mad Rogue is also possesses a Rider Evol-Bottle, allowing him to utilize Creation and manifest the power of a single Fullbottle.
- Pirates (パイレーツPairētsu): By inserting the Kaizoku Fullbottle, Mad Rogue can summon the Kaizoku Hassyar which allows him to perform the Pirates Finish (パイレーツフィニッシュPairētsu Finisshu) finisher.
Nariaki Utsumi is portrayed by Yuki Ochi (越智 友己Ochi Yūki). As a child, Utsumi is portrayed by Yusei Ohtake (大竹 優青Ōtake Yūsei).
Masuzawa[edit]
Masuzawa (増沢) is a spy who works as secretary to the Touto prime minister. When he is exposed by Sento, he kills himself using a Fullbottle to avoid capture. He is responsible for slipping a listening device into the Dragon Fullbottle to spy on Sento.
Masuzawa is portrayed by Taro Nakatani (中谷 太郎Nakatani Tarō).
Washio Brothers[edit]
The Washio Brothers (鷲尾兄弟Washio Kyōdai) are a pair of siblings from Seito who serve alongside Gentoku as Seito's main troopers. The indoctrination and training they received transform them into sadistic soldiers who use deception and dirty tricks to accomplish their tasks. They transform using the Kaiser System developed by Kaisei Mogami and Nariaki Utsumi, with a shared Nebula Steam Gun (ネビュラスチームガンNebyura Suchīmu Gan). Because of their limited supply in weaponry, the Nebula Steam Gun's Rifle Mode (combined with the Steam Blade) can only be held by one of them while the other engages in hand-to-hand combat.
After Evolto declared war against Namba Heavy Industries, the Washio Brothers form an uneasy alliance with the Riders before losing their lives. Evolto created his own copy of the Washio Brothers' Kaiser forms as guardians at the Pandora Tower. Utsumi revealed that he had sabotaged the Kaiser Systems and programmed both Same and Bike Fullbottles as countermeasures, used by Rogue and Mad Rogue to destroy the copies.
- Fū Washio (鷲尾 風Washio Fū): The older brother who uses the Gear Remocon (ギアリモコンGia Rimokon) to transform into Remocon Bros (リモコンブロスRimokon Burosu), a turquoise-colored version of Kaiser. He is the dominant user of Nebula Steam Gun. He can use his Gear Remocon with Rai's Gear Engine to transform into Hell Bros (ヘルブロスHeru Burosu), an upgraded version of Bi-Kaiser. Despite being the more level-headed of the two, he occasionally shows annoyance and fury. Fū sacrificed himself to shield Cross-Z from a deathblow. Fū Washio is portrayed by Osamu Adachi (足立 理Adachi Osamu). As a child, Fū is portrayed by Shinta Takaiwa (高岩 芯泰Takaiwa Shinta).
- Rai Washio (鷲尾 雷Washio Rai): Fū's younger brother who uses the Gear Engine (ギアエンジンGia Enjin) to transform into Engine Bros (エンジンブロスEnjin Burosu), a white-colored version of Kaiser Reverse. As Remocon is the primary user of Nebula Steam Gun, Engine utilizes the Steam Blade as his main weapon. Engine Bros is the most vulnerable of the pair and can be weakened with water-based attacks. Rai is short-tempered, careless and more violent in combat. During an alliance with the Riders against Evolto, Rai was the first to be killed and was caught in their former companion's black hole, giving his Gear Engine to Fū before his death. Rai Washio is portrayed by Yuudai Nasuda (奈須田 雄大Nasuda Yūdai). As a child, Rai is portrayed by Taiga Watanabe (渡辺 虎雅Watanabe Taiga).
Other versions of Hell Bros also existed in the series' spin-offs:
- Nebula Hell Bros (ネビュラヘルブロスNebyura Heru Burosu) is an incomplete version of Hell Bros, lacking both Engine and Remocon components, leaving its only weapon the Nebula Steam Gun. He was an unnamed civilian forcefully experimented upon by Namba Heavy Industries. While leading an army of Faust's Guardians to steal Touto's Fullbottles, he was confronted and defeated by Build.
- Clone Hell Bros (クローンヘルブロスKurōn Heru Burosu) is a copy of the Hell Bros and the prototype for Clone Smash. Utsumi sent it to fight against Kamen Rider Build's SameBike Form to test its capabilities. Sometime after the Clone Smash were mass-produced, Utsumi programmed the SameBike Form's Fullbottles as the main weakness to the new Kaiser Systems.
Hard Guardians[edit]
The Hard Guardians (ハードガーディアンHādo Gādian) are enhanced versions of the Guardians which Namba Heavy Industries mass-produced following Seito's war declaration on Touto. When Namba Heavy was disbanded, the remaining units were under control of Evolto and served as the front line of Pandora Tower's defense.
The Hard Guardians are equipped with a combat AI unit, right arm-mounted gatling-guns, left-arm-mounted clawed gauntlets, and shoulder-mounted missile pods. An improved drive module was placed on each joint to provide enhanced mobility. Their equipment can be replaced depending on the combat situation and can fight on equal terms against Rider Systems users.
Katsuragi family[edit]
Takumi Katsuragi[edit]
Takumi Katsuragi (葛城 巧Katsuragi Takumi) is 26 years old and the past identity of Sento Kiryū, and was also known as 'The Devil's Scientist' (悪魔の科学者Akuma no kagakusha). He restarted Project Build (プロジェクトビルドPurojekuto Birudo) and was the first to transform into Kamen Rider Build, but was banned for conducting unethical human experimentations by using a mutative by-product of the Skywall known as Nebula Gas to evolve humanity.
During this period, Takumi assisted his former Touto colleague Kaisei Mogami in building the Enigma system to travel to another reality. While testing the performance of Kamen Rider Build in said world, he twice intervened in the confrontation between humans and Bugster. Having accidentally killed Kamen Rider Genm prior, Build went on to extract Ex-Aid's samples into a single Fullbottle before foiling Mogami's intent to cause a convergence between the two realities and stopped him.
Sometime after developing both Rider and Transteam Systems, Takumi learned that Faust had been compromised by Evolto. He halted the development of the Sclash Driver system and attempted to kill Evolto but was outsmarted. His memories and appearance were changed to Sento, and he was manipulated into completing the Rider System.
Takumi regained his memories when Evolto regained his perfect form, and becomes Build again but refuses to work with the others. When the Genius Fullbottle refused to cooperate, he was visited by Sento's consciousness and allowed this alter-ego to access Genius Form for the first time. From that point onward, Takumi served as a spiritual adviser to Sento despite his sense of pessimism.
Although not shown at the conclusion of the series, the official website confirmed that when the worlds are merged that Takumi works as a scientist in the new world.[2][relevant?] In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease he hides in a laboratory due to his unpleasant memories of the old world. Alongside Sento, he creates a special serum that enables the Rider System users to recover the ability to transform and to be immune to the Phantom Crushers' special ability. After Downfall is defeated, he returns to the Japan Institute of Advanced Matter Physics (国立先端物質学研究所Kokuritsu Sentan Busshitsugaku Kenkyūjo).
As the true creator of Build's Rider System, Takumi can use the basic Best Match forms. As he was absent while Sento further developed Build, Takumi had to retool it to keep up with its performance.
Takumi Katsuragi is portrayed by Yukiaki Kiyama (木山 廉彬Kiyama Yukiaki), whereas his cameo appearances as Build in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid were voiced by Atsuhiro Inukai, Sento's actor.
Shinobu Katsuragi[edit]
Shinobu Katsuragi (葛城 忍Katsuragi Shinobu) is the father of Takumi Katsuragi and a member of the space program that saw Sōichi Isurugi come into contact with the Pandora Box. Shinobu conducted illegal research on an infant Ryūga. Later, Shinobu led the conference of the Pandora Box's discovery when Evolto caused the Skywall Disaster, and his reputation was ruined as he was used as a scapegoat. Shinobu faked his suicide soon after, enlisting Reika Kine's aid in smuggling himself out of Touto.
Shinobu secretly aided Evolto for ten years by using his research in an attempt to repair the Evol-Driver before Takumi found and hid it. Shinobu also developed a man-made variant of Fullbottles called Lost Fullbottles (ロストフルボトルRosuto Furubotoru), also referred to as Lost Bottles (ロストボトルRosuto Botoru) for short, which allow the user to transform into a Lost Smash with side-effects of heightened aggression and suggestibility. Shinobu resurfaces while Sento and his allies are searching for the Lost Fullbottles, revealing his alliance with Evolto while alienating Sento. However, Shinobu's plan was to eliminate the alien, pretending to be Evolto's ally while creating a specialized Best Match combination that could defeat the alien. He reveals his intentions to Sento when he thought Evolto had been defeated, but Evolto recovered and fatally wounds Shinobu. Shinobu lives long enough to give Sento his data to finalize the Cross-ZBuild Form and apologize for hurting him. He comes back to life and like his son, he works as a scientist in the Japan Institute of Advanced Matter Physics in the new world. In Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease he created a copy of the Build Driver, which was owned by the Japanese government before being stolen by Downfall. After Downfall is defeated, he apologizes to Takumi for using him in the old world.
As the founder of Rider System, Shinobu possesses his own copy of the Build Driver and a set of Fullbottles to transform into another Kamen Rider Build. While having access to Build's basic Best Match forms, Shinobu is capable of outmaneuvering the strongest of his opponents in one-on-one fights though he has difficulty fighting multiple opponents. He can also use another Fullbottle's power without transitioning, such as the use of Phoenix Fullbottle as an escape while still in RabbitTank form.
Shinobu Katsuragi is portrayed by Zyouzi Kokubo (小久保 丈二Kokubo Jōji).
Kyōka Katsuragi[edit]
Kyōka Katsuragi (葛城 京香Katsuragi Kyōka) is Takumi's mother and Shinobu's wife who was abducted from Hokuto and transformed by Faust into the first Strong Smash Hazard (ストロングスマッシュハザードSutorongu Sumasshu Hazādo). She was purified by Build, with the extracted element purified to create the Lock Fullbottle, before she entrust the flash drive that contains the information of the Project Build to Sento.
Kyōka Katsuragi is portrayed by Hiro Komura (古村 比呂Komura Hiro).
Prime ministers[edit]
As a result of the Skywall Disaster (スカイウォールの惨劇Sukaiwōru no Sangeki) in 2007, Japan has been divided into three different districts: Touto, Hokuto and Seito. It was suspected that everyone present at the event become much more aggressive after being exposed to the Skywall's Nebula Gas. As a result of the separation, several foreign powers have attempted to take advantage of the situation although none of the districts display interest in allying with external forces. After Sento merges the world into a new reality at the conclusion of the series, an alternate Taizan has been elected prime minister of an undivided Japan with the other two as his ministers of welfare and finance respectively.[relevant?]
Taizan Himuro[edit]
Taizan Himuro (氷室 泰山Himuro Taizan) is the 67-year-old father of Gentoku and the prime minister of Touto (東都Tōto), a pacifist state with only enough military strength for self-defense. Despite the rivalries, Taizan wishes for Japan to reunite. Due to his poor health, he sent his son Gentoku to the unveiling of the Pandora Box, and retained his sanity as the only leader not affected by its radiation. Taizan suffered a heart attack during Faust's raid on Touto facility, and entrusted Gentoku as acting prime minister, unaware that Gentoku is high-ranking Faust-member Night Rogue. The Touto government was then compromised until Sento and Ryūga defeated Night Rogue, exposing his identity to Taizan who then orders his son to be taken into custody. Sōichi later poisoned Taizan which once again gives Gentoku emergency power to rule Touto. Taizan eventually recovered through Misora's power and exiled Gentoku while looking for a way to end the war with the least bloodshed. Taizan still believe there still good in Gentoku and vows to return his son.
As Namba and Stalk enact their plan to bring humanity into chaos, Taizan is kidnapped by Gentoku so Stalk can force Sento into reviving the original Project Build. Gentoku was already planning to save his father, working with the Kamen Riders against Evolto, but the plan backfires and Evolto transforms into Kamen Rider Evol. Taizan becomes the first victim of Evolto, sacrificing his life to save Gentoku from the alien. This act allows Gentoku to fully revert to his true self.
Taizan Himuro is portrayed by Meikyo Yamada (山田 明郷Yamada Meikyō).
Yoshiko Tajimi[edit]
Yoshiko Tajimi (多治見 喜子Tajimi Yoshiko) is the 53-year-old prime minister of Hokuto (北都), a social welfare state which puts the needs of its people above all else. The Skywall Disaster rendered most of the farmland infertile with the resulting economic collapse forcing many citizens to take their children out of school. Tajimi's personality was affected by radiation from the Pandora Box, and she secretly directed government funds from social welfare to the military. The machinations of Sōichi, Namba and Gentoku cause war between the other two countries to take the Pandora Box by force, and she declares war on Touto. Her ruthless behavior during the invasion disgusts Kazumi as he threatens her to stop targeting innocent civilians.
During Touto's fight against Hokuto, Tajimi acts on Sōichi's advice to station her entire military on Touto's border to invade if Grease was defeated. But Tajimi realized she had been manipulated into leaving her nation vulnerable to Seito, which invade and take her into custody. She is later brainwashed by Evolto, transforming her into the Owl Lost Smash (オウルロストスマッシュŌru Rosuto Sumasshu) before being defeated and freed by Kamen Rider Build's Genius Form. This purified Tajimi's mind leaving her horrified and remorseful over everything she had done while being the only surviving prime minister.
Yoshiko Tajimi is portrayed by Ryoko Gi (魏 涼子Gi Ryōko).
Masakuni Midō[edit]
Masakuni Midō (御堂 正邦Midō Masakuni) is the 61-year-old prime minister of Seito (西都), which seeks economic recovery through technical advancement, sending its young adults across the world to gather technical knowledge. Midō expressed an interest in Tajimi's offer for alliance, but stood by while Hokuto and Touto weakened each other in warfare. When Hokuto lost to Touto, Midō sends Seito's military to invade Hokuto, taking over the country and capturing Tajimi. However, Midō is also a nervous man as shown by his reaction during the Touto-Seito proximity match.
After losing the fight against Touto, Midō keeps his agreement with Touto while falling out with Namba, resulting in his death by Evolto. The alien then had Namba assume Midō's identity to use the country for Namba Heavy Industries' operations and his future plots. Evolto later poses as Midō during his endgame plan and places his kinsmen into governor positions.
Masakuni Midō is portrayed by Norimasa Fuke (冨家 規政Fuke Norimasa).
Vernage[edit]
Vernage (ベルナージュBerunāju) is the former queen of Mars who survived the destruction of her civilization at the cost of her physical form. She managed to seal Evolto along with his Evol-Trigger into the Pandora Box, while separating his Evol-Driver to prevent him from using it inside the box to free himself. When the artefacts were returned to Earth, her spirit was preserved in a bracelet which latched onto a young Misora. 10 years later, Vernage's consciousness slowly awakened and occasionally rescued the Kamen Riders from Namba's forces.
As her spirit resided within Misora's bracelet, she provided the young girl with the ability to purify Nebula Gas. The process caused Vernage's memories of her civilization's destruction to play within Misora's mind. Although presented as a powerful entity, she pointed out that her life force is diminishing. Vernage left Misora's body to restore girl's humanity while she was transformed into CD Lost Smash, and transferred herself into Ryūga to counteract the psychological effects from the trace remnants of Evolto's genes. Vernage passed away after Evolto's death, having fulfilled her goals.
Vernage is voiced by Sora Amamiya (雨宮 天Amamiya Sora).
Blood Tribe[edit]
Blood Tribe (ブラッド族Buraddo Zoku) are a mysterious race of extraterrestrial origin who caused the downfall of the Martian civilization and many other planets. During the Mars expedition, the four astronauts sent to the planet were possessed by the Blood Tribe. While Evolto is the antagonist of the series after possessing Sōichi Isurugi, the other three members of the Blood Tribe who possessed Sōichi's fellow astronauts supported Evolto from behind the scenes before making their presence known in the events of Kamen Rider Build the Movie: Be the One. Evolto used his guise as Midō to arrange for his tribesmen to become governors in Japan's three regions. While executing Build Annihilation Plan (ビルド殲滅計画Birudo Senmetsu Keikaku), Kengo announced his mutiny against Evolto, so the latter allied (albeit temporarily) with Kamen Riders to destroy his brethren, before his planned final confrontation with the Kamen Riders. After Evolto was defeated by Kamen Rider Build and the new world was created, Evolto is the only remaining survivor in the new world.
Evolto[edit]
Evolto (エボルトEboruto) is the true antagonist of the series and leader of both the Blood Tribe and Faust. A genocidal sociopath, prior to the series, Evolto has taken Pandora Box away and escape from his brother, Killbus who has using Pandora Box to destroy his home planet. After the destruction of his planet, he has started using the power of the Pandora Box to destroys planets to absorb their energies as a means of gaining power and travelling. Unitl he destroying the Martian civilization, he was rendered incorporeal and lost his true physical form before Vernage sealed him alongside his damaged Evol-Trigger within the Pandora Box.
When a Mars rover arrived for observation, Evolto used it to send a piece of himself to Earth to acquire a host to restore himself. But it backfired when the fragment's attempt of possessing Namba Industries security guard Yuri Banjō resulted in it being assimilated into her unborn child Ryūga. 13 years later, Evolto possessed the astronaut Sōichi Isurugi when he retrieved the Pandora Box from Mars and attempted to destroy Earth, only for Vernage's intervention to result in the Skywall Incident to scatter the Pandora Box across Japan. This forces Evolto to execute a decade-long plan of manipulating various individuals and events, such as the foundation of Faust, positioning himself within Namba Heavy Industries and grooming Ryūga as his next vessel. Evolto also used Sōichi's connections to force Shinobu and his son into working for him, tricking a young Misora to purify Fullbottles, and framed Ryūga for Tarō's death while an unconscious Katsuragi was spirited away with his memory and face altered. With Katsuragi's new identity as 'Sento Kiryū', Evolto further manipulated him into perfecting the Build System and created other Rider Systems that Katsuragi purposely scrapped. In the hopes of hiding his presence, he made his original voice the default setting of Blood Stalk's system during transformation.
After all Fullbottles were purified, Evolto exposed his treachery to the crews of Nascita and his plans to use the Pandora Box to destroy Earth's civilizations, exploiting Namba as they engineered a series of schemes to take over Japan with only Touto and its Kamen Riders as their opposition. After regaining the Evol-Driver, Evolto abandoned his host to become Kamen Rider Evol (仮面ライダーエボルKamen Raidā Eboru) as he transferred himself to Ryūga's body to regain his full power and then into Sento to use his intelligence to repair the Evol-Trigger. Once the Evol-Trigger was repaired, Evolto left Sento's body and became a corporeal shape-shifter, assuming Sōichi's appearance. Evolto then proceeded to kill Namba who refused to accept being a puppet ruler while winning the maddened Utsumi to his cause. Evolto decided to take over Earth instead of destroying it after finding amusement in Namba's final moments and Utsumi's descent into insanity. Initially limited to feeling either delight or irritation, Evolto developed human emotions as a result of his Hazard Level increasing. Evolto also assumed Midō's identity to place the Blood Tribe as governors to execute Build Annihilation Plan but a mutiny by Inō forced him into an alliance with his own adversaries.
Game Kamen Rider Build Flash Belt 1.15
When later defeated by the four Kamen Riders using a coordinated attack, Evolto imparts a fragment of himself within Utsumi to reconstitute himself. He then kills Shinobu while reclaiming his Evol-Driver and regaining his full strength, before splitting off a part of himself to possess Kazumi in order to steal back the CD Lost Fullbottle for the Last Pandora Panel Black (ラストパンドラパネルブラックRasuto Pandora Paneru Burakku). He then absorbs the panel to assume his true monstrous form, but was forced back to his Rider Form by the four Kamen Riders and loses a Lost Fullbottle as well, though he escapes. Combined with his inability to emotionally compose himself, Evolto became very disappointed by the defeat and falls back to his original plan of destroying all life on Earth. As the final battle between Evolto and the Riders began, he succeeds in causing Kazumi's death and kills Utsumi after the latter reveals his true allegiance. Evolto becomes omnipotent but Gentoku wounds him enough for Ryūga to sacrifice himself to trap Evolto in the vortex of a wormhole created by the complete Pandora Box. Evolto attempts to cheat death by absorbing Ryūga but Sento saves his friend. The Pandora Box's effect of merging the universes then seemingly renders all traces of Evolto's essence non-existent. However, it was revealed in the new world that a piece of Evolto had survived by slipping into Ryūga. When Killbus reappear again in the new world and threatens to destroy the entire universe, Evolto gracefully join forces with Ryūga to defeat Killbus and finally leaves Earth to regain his full strength and body.
A cruel, fierce, and ruthless character, Evolto committed several heinous acts using Sōichi's body as a vessel, killing without hesitation and on one occasion turned a child into a Smash, with his plots and actions resulting in several deaths. Evolto is a very patient manipulator, having spent years establishing his plans while winning allies or placing enemies in situations that play to his advantage, but can be taken off guard by unexpected occurrences where he was forced to improvise. Due to the successful nature of his plots in the first half of the series, Evolto becomes arrogant and overconfident, but his reliance on luck backfired several times. It also extends to his tendency of toying with his opponents as he fails to expect a stronger counterattack, which proves costly when the Riders were able to force him out of his true form just moments after he had regained it. Another flaw Evolto suffered was his inability to handle human emotions as the result of having used multiple host bodies and his exposure to Build, making him prone to blind rage and later expressing fear when sucked into the wormhole and facing his impending doom. In the new world, although still burning with hatred towards humanity, especially the Kamen Riders, Evolto is revealed to have developed a new-found respect for them as well, to the point where he mocked Killbus for underestimating humans right before the latter is finished off by Cross-Z Evol.
As Kamen Rider Evol, Evolto uses the Evol-Driver (エボルドライバーEboru Doraibā) and Evol-Bottles (エボルボトルEboru Botoru), from which the Build System was reversed engineered. As a Rider, Evol has high-speed movements on par with any previous Kamen Riders, matched only by Build Genius Form. Evol's finisher is the Evoltic Finish (エボルテックフィニッシュEborutekku Finisshu). Each of his forms are treated as evolution of his Phases (フェーズFēzu):
- Cobra Form (コブラフォームKobura Fōmu) is the primary form of Evol, a.k.a. 'Phase 1' (フェーズ1Fēzu Wan), and accessed with the use of Cobra Evol-Bottle. Evol is capable of secreting enhanced poisons and is able to outmaneuver his opponents with blinding speed.
- Dragon Form (ドラゴンフォームDoragon Fōmu), a.k.a. 'Phase 2' (フェーズ2Fēzu Tsū), was accessed when Evol possessed Ryūga and created the corresponding Dragon Evol-Bottle from his body. Aside from adding Cross-Z's Beat Closer to his arsenal, Evol can also utilize pyrokinesis. This form was lost after Ryūga stole the Dragon Evol-Bottle and used it to transform into Great Cross-Z.
- Rabbit Form (ラビットフォームRabitto Fōmu), a.k.a. 'Phase 3' (フェーズ3Fēzu Surī), was accessed when Evol possessed Sento and created the corresponding Rabbit Evol-Bottle from his body. The result of both Sento's gambit in raising his Hazard Level to 6 and self-destruction with a Pandora Panel concluded in his possession and the change of his hair color to white. In addition to Build's Drill Crusher, Evol gains a sharp increase in acceleration and agility.
- Black Hole Form (ブラックホールフォームBurakku Hōru Fōmu) is Kamen Rider Evol's true form, a.k.a. 'Phase 4: Perfection' (フェーズ4: 完全体Fēzu Fō: Kanzen-tai), accessed through the use of Cobra Evol-Bottle and the Evol-Trigger (エボルトリガーEboru Torigā). This form was previously sealed by Vernage during their battle on Mars, until the energies from the combined attack of Cross-Z Magma, Grease and Rogue were exploited to restore the Evol-Trigger which then restored his corporeal form. Incredibly powerful, Evol can manipulate black holes and destroy celestial bodies. Before his arrival on Earth, Evol had once brandished an energy blade in a fight against Vernage.
As the Rider (ライダーRaidā) Evol-Bottle invokes every transformation, it can also utilize Creation (クリエーションKuriēshon) when in conjunction with a normal Fullbottle.
- Kikanhou (機関砲Kikanhō, Autocannon): By inserting the Gatling Fullbottle, Evol can summon the Hawk Gatlinger which allows him to perform the Kikanhou Finish (機関砲フィニッシュKikanhō Finisshu) finisher.
By activating Evol-Trigger's Feverflow (フィーバーフローFībāfurō) Mode while obtaining all 10 Lost Fullbottles stacked in the black Lost Panel merged with himself, Evolto gained the ability to assume his true Monstrous Form (怪人態Kaijin-tai). His signature ability is Black Hole Break (ブラックホールブレイクBurakku Hōru Bureiku), which allows him to assimilate celestial bodies as he consumed the moon and part of Earth to assume his Ultimate Form (究極態Kyūkyoku-tai) with access to Evolti Voider (エボルティヴォイダーEboruti Voidā) shoulder units and Evolti Grasper (エボルティグラスパーEboruti Gurasupā) gauntlets. But while it is Evolto's strongest form, the Evol-Trigger becomes his weakpoint as Gentoku dies removing it to give Build and Cross-Z their chance to destroy the alien.
Evolto is voiced by Tetsuo Kanao (金尾 哲夫Kanao Tetsuo). While possessing Sōichi Isurugi and later assuming his likeness, he is played by Yasuyuki Maekawa.

Kengo Inō[edit]
Kengo Inō (伊能 賢剛Inō Kengo) is Evolto's second-in-command who served as advisor to Seito Prime Minister Midō before becoming the governor of Touto by the events of Kamen Rider Build the Movie: Be the One, after the Japanese civil war had ended. He then seeks to carry out the Blood Tribe's initial plan to destroy Earth. As part of Build Annihilation Plan, Inō brainwashed most of the Japanese population against Sento, including Ryūga whom he made into his personal agent. Inō eventually faces Sento as Kamen Rider Blood and managed to dominate against Genius Form before being defeated by the fusion form of Sento and Ryūga, Kamen Rider Cross-ZBuild.
Possessing the Cobra Lost Fullbottle, Inō uses it with Ryūga's Build Driver and Great Cross-Z Dragon, combined with Sento's Hazard Trigger to transform into Kamen Rider Blood (仮面ライダーブラッドKamen Raidā Buraddo). This form requires the absorption of nearby Blood Tribesmen, fusing Scissors, Zebra Lost Smashes and the brainwashed Ryūga but can also operate independently. This form rivals the strength of Build's Genius Form and can summon energy cobras as reinforcements.
Kengo Inō is portrayed by Masanobu Katsumura (勝村 政信Katsumura Masanobu).
Mitsuomi Gōbara[edit]
Mitsuomi Gōbara (郷原 光臣Gōbara Mitsuomi) is a member of Blood Tribe and a former advisor to Hokuto Prime Minister Tajimi who poses as the new governor of Seito. He can transform into Zebra Lost Smash (ゼブラロストスマッシュZebura Rosuto Sumasshu) using the Shimauma (シマウマ, Zebra) Lost Fullbottle. He was defeated by Kamen Rider Grease after initially defeating him in their first encounter.
Mitsuomi Gōbara is portrayed by Takashi Fujii (藤井 隆Fujii Takashi).
Ryōka Saiga[edit]
Ryōka Saiga (才賀 涼香Saiga Ryōka) is a female member of Blood Tribe and a former aide to Touto Prime Minister Himuro who poses as the new governor of Hokuto. She can transform into Scissors Lost Smash (シザーズロストスマッシュShizāzu Rosuto Sumasshu) using the Hasami (ハサミ, Scissors) Lost Fullbottle. She is defeated by Kamen Rider Rogue after initially defeating him in their first encounter.
Ryōka Saiga is portrayed by Rena Matsui (松井 玲奈Matsui Rena).
Killbus[edit]
Killbus (キルバスKirubasu) is the older brother of Evolto, the former king of Planet Blood (ブラッド星Buraddo-sei) who once destroyed it just for fun, and the main antagonist of Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z. A hedonist who lives to destroy, he was responsible for the destruction of his home planet as his master plan is to destroy the entire universe along with himself with the power of the Pandora Box. Using the form of a famous dancer named Satoshi Kakizaki (柿崎 悟志Kakizaki Satoshi) after appearing from the Last Pandora Panel White (ラストパンドラパネルホワイトRasuto Pandora Paneru Howaito), Killbus hunts Evolto within Ryūga to restore the Pandora Box and seeks to absorb Ryūga and Evolto into the white panel to obtain enough energy to destroy the universe. He is later defeated by Ryūga in the Cross-Z Evol form.
By inserting the Killbuspider (キルバスパイダーKirubasupaidā) (Sento's robotic spider-like pet converted into a transformation item by Killbus) loaded with the Killbus Spider (キルバススパイダーKirubasu Supaidā) Fullbottle into Sento's Build Driver, Killbus transforms into Kamen Rider Killbus (仮面ライダーキルバスKamen Raidā Kirubasu). Killbus transformed into Build before adopting his personal Rider namesake. By himself, Killbus can utilize Drill Crusher and Kaizoku Hassyar as his weapons and summon Hazard Smash clones.
Killbus is voiced by Anri Katsu (勝 杏里Katsu Anri). While assuming the forms of Sento Kiryū and Satoshi Kakizaki, he is portrayed by Atsuhiro Inukai and Gaku Shindo (進藤 学Shindō Gaku) respectively.
Smash[edit]
The Smash (スマッシュSumasshu) are monsters formed by humans injected with the liquefied Nebula Gas (ネビュラガスNebyura Gasu) as part of Faust's experiments. The experimental subject loses almost all of their memories. In order to revert a Smash back to a normal human, the Kamen Riders must defeat them and extract their element liquids into an Empty Bottle (which can later be purified into a Fullbottle for their transformation and equipment uses). Faust agents are given their own Fullbottles to transform into their Smash forms, which are equipped with a self-destruct function. Silver-colored Smash are stronger versions, achieved through exposure to Nebula Gas of higher Hazard Levels.
Kamen Rider Build Driver Flash Game
The experiment's goal was to find a perfect candidate for the Build Driver, with the Smash transformations considered failures. Each victim is ranked by their tolerance of Nebula Gas called Hazard Levels (ハザードレベルHazādo Reberu).
- Hazard Level 1: Patients with frail body types, unable to survive any attempt to revert them to their human form.
- Hazard Level 2: Patients with the ability to survive the gas and transform into Smash. Those who rank above 2 can retain their human forms and were given the chance to raise their Hazard Levels through fighting experience.
- Hazard Level 3: Patients who completed their tolerance towards the gas. They are also considered suitable candidates for the Build Driver.
- Hazard Level 4: Compatible users of the Sclash Drivers. Patients in Level 3 can also reach this level by using the Build Driver with the Hazard Trigger.
- Hazard Level 5: Only Evolto's race can access this level, which is required to access the Evol-Driver.
- Hazard Level 6: Achieved by Build when he taps into the power of a Pandora Box's panel.
- Hazard Level 7: Humans in this level can strengthen certain Fullbottles with their own power.
The Smash monsters include:
- Fang Smash (ファングスマッシュFangu Sumasshu) is a mandible-themed Smash and the first opponent of Build when Takumi was rendered amnesiac into his new identity, Sento. It was defeated off-screen as Build's first victory.
- The Needle Smash (ニードルスマッシュNīdoru Sumasshu) is a hedgehog-themed Smash that can use his sharp, neurotoxin-filled fingernails, his arm blades, and his stretched back full of needles to attack. He is quickly defeated by Build, who extracts the Needle Smash's element liquid to refine into the Harinezumi Fullbottle.
- The Strong Smash (ストロングスマッシュSutorongu Sumasshu) is a rock/gorilla-themed Smash who uses his bare hands to fight with vast physical strength, and can jump very high. He was originally Kyōichi Shimizu (志水 恭一Shimizu Kyōichi), a lab assistant of Shinobu Katsuragi and one of Faust's captives. He was turned into the Strong Smash to retrieve Ryūga who had escaped from Faust, and is defeated and restored by Build, though he suffers memory loss. The Strong Smash's element is later purified to make the Gorilla Fullbottle. Shimizu reappears in episode 41 under the control of Evolto, transforming into the Stag Lost Smash (スタッグロストスマッシュSutaggu Rosuto Sumasshu) to fight the Kamen Riders. After his defeat, he is murdered by Evolto for attempting to give Sento information. Shimizu is portrayed by Shohei Yamazaki (山﨑 将平Yamazaki Shōhei).
- The Burn Smash (バーンスマッシュBān Sumasshu) is a dragon-themed Smash armed with the flamethrower-like Smash Burner (スマッシュバーナーSumasshu Bānā) on her right arm. She was originally Kasumi Ogura (小倉 香澄Ogura Kasumi), Ryūga's 23-year-old girlfriend who was tricked by Nabeshima to send Ryūga to the scene of Katsuragi's death. After Ryūga escaped Faust with Sento's help, the organization kidnapped and brainwashed her and converted her into a Smash. Sent to hunt down Ryūga, her original persona resurfaces as she fights her programming. As Kasumi's illness made it impossible for her to regain her humanity, Build is forced to destroy her though she reveals vital information about Faust. The Burn Smash's element is later purified to make the Dragon Fullbottle which Sento gives to Ryūga. Sometime later, Sento gave Ryūga her will, providing him with the resolve to fight as Kamen Rider Cross-Z. As revealed by Gentoku, Kasumi's sacrifice was part of Stalk's plan, to motivate Ryūga to fight and thereby activate his Hazard alien genes. When the universes are merged at the conclusion of the series, an alternate Kasumi is the girlfriend of Ryūga's alternate.[relevant?] Kasumi Ogura is portrayed by Risako Itō (伊藤 梨沙子Itō Risako).
- The Flying Smash (フライングスマッシュFuraingu Sumasshu) is a scarecrow/hawk-themed Smash that can fly by controlling the surrounding air currents and attack using her Air Slash Claws (エアスラッシュクローEa Surasshu Kurō). She was originally Reika Kine (木根 礼香Kine Reika), the mother of Kōta Kine (木根 光多Kine Kōta). After being turned back to human, the extracted Smash element was purified to make the Taka Fullbottle. Reika returns with her son to help Sawa and Ryūga alongside boatman Igarashi (五十嵐) who operates a boat she and her husband own. Reika returns in episode 40 where she reveals the role she and her husband played in smuggling Shinobu Katsuragi out of Touto after faking his death. Reika Kine is portrayed by Machiko Kochi (東風 万智子Kochi Machiko).
- The Press Smash (プレススマッシュPuresu Sumasshu) is a machine press-themed Smash with powerful pressing mechanisms in each part of his body to attack and destroy enemies by compressing his arms. He was originally Tatsuya Kishida (岸田 立弥Kishida Tatsuya), a friend of Tarō Satō since middle school; they had formed a musical band called Tsunageez (ツナ義ーズTsunagīzu) and he believes Sento to be Tarō. Tatsuya is kidnapped by Blood Stalk and turned into the Press Smash as bait for Sento. Despite being returned to normal, he is turned back into a Smash by Ryūga to find Faust's secret location. His Smash form's Hazard Level was increased to cause it to self-destruct, until Build saved him during a raid on Faust. The Press Smash's element is later purified to make the Panda Fullbottle. Another Press Smash Hazard was sent by Hokuto to attack Touto; it was defeated by Build before being made human again. In the merged universe at the conclusion of the series, Tatsuya and a revived Tarō Satō are members of a music band.[relevant?] Tatsuya Kishida is portrayed by Pinboke Tarō (ピンボケたろう).
- The Ice Smash (アイススマッシュAisu Sumasshu) is a Smash that can shoot Icicle Chill Arrows (アイシクルチルアローAishikuru Chiru Arō). He was originally Takehiko (雄彦), a boy living in Hokuto who was transformed by Blood Stalk via the Steam Blade's 'Devil Steam'. He is purified by Build, although the stress from transforming into a Smash had a huge toll on his body. The Ice Smash's element is later purified to make the Shoubousha Fullbottle. Takehiko is portrayed by Sasuke Sasaoka (笹岡 サスケSasaoka Sasuke).
Enhanced Smash (Hazards):
- The Strong Smash Hazard (ストロングスマッシュハザードSutorongu Sumasshu Hazādo) is an enhanced version of the Strong Smash. The first Strong Smash Hazard the Kamen Riders encountered had been Takumi's mother Kyōka Katsuragi. The second Strong Smash Hazard is a Touto soldier that Gentoku transformed and is defeated by Cross-Z. The third Strong Smash Hazard was sent by Hokuto to attack Touto before being defeated by Kazumi.
- The Stretch Smash Hazard (ストレッチスマッシュハザードSutoretchi Sumasshu Hazādo) is an enhanced version of the Stretch Smash. It was created by Gentoku to fight the Kamen Riders using one of two unnamed Touto soldiers. It targeted Misora who was caught in the battle before it was defeated and restored to human form.
- The Flying Smash Hazard (フライングスマッシュハザードFuraingu Sumasshu Hazādo) is an enhanced version of the Flying Smash. It was sent by Hokuto to attack Touto. It was defeated by Build and Cross-Z before being made human again.
Clone Smash[edit]
The Clone Smash (クローンスマッシュKurōn Sumasshu), unlike regular Smash, are created from pure Nebula Gas, and attack until destroyed. Being enhanced versions of the Press, Stretch, Strong and Flying Smash Hazard, the Clone Smash are stronger and more durable due to their inability to feel pain. The Clone Smash are later used as materials to power a Lost Fullbottle to enable its user's transformation into a Lost Smash.
Lost Smash[edit]
Lost Smash (ロストスマッシュRosuto Sumasshu) are Smash breeds created by Evolto and Katsuragi as the final Smash evolution. The experiment includes a human victim being heavily dosed with Nebula Gas and transformed into the Lost Smash by absorbing a pair of nearby Clone Smash. Aside from heightened aggression and being easy to manipulate, they are also bound to die should they be defeated. The Genius Fullbottle of Kamen Rider Build has the ability to save these victims and remove traces of Nebula Gas.
The Lost Fullbottles created by Shinobu Katsuragi were used to invoke the target's transformation into Lost Smash. Their actual purpose is to complete the Lost Panel of Pandora Box to take control of humanity. The full set of Lost Fullbottles work differently depending on the Pandora Panels they slotted into: the Last Pandora Panel Black allows Evolto to regain his monstrous form by absorbing it, whereas its White counterpart can merge with five other Pandora Panels to fuse Earth with its alternate counterpart and avert the Skywall Disaster.
Kaisei Mogami[edit]
Kaisei Mogami (最上 魁星Mogami Kaisei) is the main antagonist of Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Rider. A cyborg, Mogami was a researcher in the Touto Institute of Advanced Matter Physics and an associate of Takumi Katsuragi. Ten years earlier, while researching parallel universes, he found the Bugster Virus at the Skywall and concluded that the virus is from a parallel universe. He wanted to create the interdimensional gateway Enigma (エニグマEniguma), but couldn't get funding so he moved to Namba Heavy Industries to continue his research. With Takumi's help, he developed both the Kaiser system and the Enigma which allowed him to make contact with the prime universe version of himself who is a Foundation X scientist. However, he lost the left side of his body due to an Enigma accident, caused by Takumi who opposed his ultimate goal. He resurfaces to cause the fusion and destruction of the two universes with the Enigma, in order to fuse with his counterpart and form a single immortal entity to become the ruler of all the universes. The two Mogamis form an alliance as they employ Foundation X's version of the Guardians known as the X Guardians (XガーディアンEkkusu Gādian) while creating the Nebula Bugster strain. Both Mogamis eventually fuse, but their plans are foiled before being defeated by Ex-Aid and Build, the latter fulfilling their scheme to merge their dimensions months later while defeating Evolto.
Mogami is able to transform into the blue-colored Kaiser (カイザーKaizā), while his counterpart transforms into the red-colored Kaiser Reverse (カイザーリバースKaizā Ribāsu). They can also combine to form a single entity known as Bi-Kaiser (バイカイザーBai Kaizā). Utsumi managed to acquire the Kaiser System blueprints after Mogami's death and perfected the technology, which he gave to Seito as the developed Hell Bros gear used by the Washio brothers.
Kaisei Mogami is portrayed by Kenji Ohtsuki (大槻 ケンヂŌtsuki Kenji).
Yui Mabuchi[edit]
Yui Mabuchi (馬渕 由衣Mabuchi Yui) is a young elementary school teacher who is looking for Kamen Rider Cross-Z, because she has faint memories of what happened before Sento merged the two worlds, when she was captured by Faust and died as a result of their Lost Fullbottle experimentation. After Killbus began the process of destruction with the Pandora Box, she recovers all the memories of her alternate self and blames Ryūga and the other Kamen Riders for not saving her together with her students, who are still in comas due to the events of the old world where they were attacked by Faust's Guardians. After Killbus is defeated and her students recover with the power of the Genius Fullbottle, she forgives Ryūga and to others, helping him in the sale of Sento's experiments.
Yui Mabuchi is portrayed by Mariya Nagao (永尾 まりやNagao Mariya).
Downfall[edit]
Downfall (ダウンフォールDaunfōru) is an international radical terrorist organization that appear as the antagonists of Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease. Its members are actually those who had been experimented by the Nebula Gas and ex-Faust members from the old world; all aiming to exploit the Rider System and achieve world domination. They hack Japan's Guardians and Hard Guardians to use the androids as their weapons.
Using man-made Metal Bottles (メタルボトルMetaru Botoru), they can transform into olive green-colored battle forms known as Phantom Crushers (ファントムクラッシャーFantomu Kurasshā); are armed with missile launchers, aerial capabilities, and the ability to disable Rider Systems with their right hand, which can absorb the Rider System users' Nebula Gas to lead them to lose the ability to transform.
Keiji Uraga[edit]
Keiji Uraga (浦賀 啓示Uraga Keiji) is the leader of Downfall known for his face who is a mad scientist captivated by technological advancement driven by war. Like Yui Mabuchi, he has burn marks and his memories of the old world because he was a Lost Fullbottle test subject. He was originally one of Faust's scientists who studied the Last Pandora Panel White alongside Shinobu Katsuragi and Evolto, but died as a result of their Lost Fullbottle experimentation. He determined to obtain the Last Pandora Panel White and dominate the new world as revenge for the old world that did not acknowledge his brilliance as a scientist, and he found Phantom Liquid (ファントムリキッドFantomu Rikiddo), which is more powerful than Nebula Gas, before creating the Phantom Crushers using the liquid. He takes Shinobu's Build Driver and Sento's Hazard Trigger to become his own Build, which he calls Kamen Rider Metal Build (仮面ライダーメタルビルドKamen Raidā Metaru Birudo), in order to confront the Sawatari farmers. He is later defeated by Kazumi in the Grease Perfect Kingdom form.
As Metal Build, he resembles the original Build Hazard Form utilizing a pair of Metal Tank Tank (メタルタンクタンクMetaru Tanku Tanku) Fullbottles; hence his black colored eyes. Aside from retaining Build Hazard's abilities, his use of a similar Fullbottle pair negates the Hazard Trigger's side effects. After he's weakened by Grease Blizzard, Metal Build absorbed the Last Pandora Panel White and merged with a Phantom Crusher to become Phantom Build (ファントムビルドFantomu Birudo); equipping him with the Phantom Crusher's armor, which allows him to utilize super speed, aerial combat, missile bombardments, and even a copy of the original Build's Drill Crusher.
Keiji Uraga is portrayed by Tamiyasu Cho (趙 珉和Chō Tamiyasu).
Simon Marcus[edit]
Simon Marcus (サイモン・マーカスSaimon Mākasu) is a high-ranking official of the Alliance of Nations who seeks to dominate the world in collaboration with Downfall. Like other Downfall members, he also transforms into a Phantom Crusher. He is later shot dead by Uraga, who no longer needs him.
Simon Marcus, who shares his name with a real life professional kickboxer, is portrayed by Michael Tomioka (マイケル富岡Maikeru Tomioka).
