Trivia

"Gai" means "Rhinoceros" in Japanese. However, it's possible that this rider's name could also mean "Guy."


Gai is a purely melee-range fighter who relies on brute strength to win, similar to Kamen Rider Scissors and Kamen Rider Tiger. Gai used his intellect more often than anything else, his plans usually involving his Confine Advent card to cancel any weapons from the other Riders and summoning his contract monster Metalgelas to fight alongside him. His Final Advent "Heavy Pressure" orders Metalgelas to ram at an opponnent at top speed while Gai is positioned like a horn, skewering his opponent.
