Chase (Drive)

Roidmude 000 (ロイミュード０００), known simply as known simply as {{nihongo|Chase|チェイス|Cheisu}, is a Human-Type (人間型) Roidmude,the human alter-ego of Mashin Chaser (魔進チェイサー), a rival of Kamen Rider Drive. Like Drive, he also uses Shift Cars, although his are called "Viral Cores". An enforcer sent by Heart and Brain to police the lower Roidmudes by destroying their bodies if they get out of line, Chase is known as the Reaper (死神), a nickname he feels is undeserved since he preserves their Cores so they can re-emerge unlike their Kamen Rider enemy.

Most recently, he hasn't been feeling himself. So he engages in fights with Drive to find out who he is, which would lead to him discovering his Roidmude number.

History
Not much is known about Chase, except his Mashin Chaser powers were based off of Kamen Rider Proto-Drive.

During a battle with Drive, Chase deals heavy damage to him, knocking him out of his transformation. As he is about to deal the final blow, Kiriko races forward and shields Shinnosuke. Chase orders her to move away, but she refuses to budge, despite Shinnosuke's and Mr. Belt's protests. Eventually Chase fires but misses. Later he questions himself as to why he was unable to shoot Kiriko.

Later, as Shinnosuke, Kiriko and Kusaka look for Takasugi, Chase interferes, and battles Drive. However, Chase is overpowered by Drive Type Wild Dump using the Door Gun. Both of them fire at each other, causing Drive to fall to the ground. Chase then has a vision of Kiriko standing in front of Drive, before escaping. This causes him to question Drive's and his own identity.
