DJ Sagara

"Get in your head already! You hate this world's rule of requiring sacrifices only for hope. Just smash them into bits. Smash it and change the world. Do you know why those Yggdrasill guys are acting the way they are? Because they're weak. They can only fight in the confines of that rule. They've given in to the cruelty of the world."

- DJ Sagara's words to Kouta

DJ Sagara (DJサガラ) is a "pirate" radio DJ who's really one of Takatora's subordinates, who's in charge of keeping the masses entertained, until a recent outbreak, which was caused by the Beat Riders battles having citizen bystanders infected with an Inves virus. He is currently unemployed after his services with Yggdrasill were no longer needed and seemingly was going to depart from Zawame, however he didn't leave Zawame as he went undercover, intent on helping Kouta.

It is later revealed that Sagara is not actually a normal human, as he can create a new type of Lockseed, the Kachidoki Lockseed, from just an ordinary orange. He is also related to both Helheim and the mysterious girl who resembles Mai Takatsukasa, which apparently also related to the Over Lords as Sagara is Rosyuo's messenger.

History
After Kouta and Kaito are sent to their cell, DJ Sagara orchestrates the escape of Kouta and Kaito, following their capture, by giving Kouta a security card, the Lemon Energy Lockseed, and the Genesis Core from Ryoma's Genesis Driver.

He then appears to Kouta and Kaito after they were sent back to the real world. Sagara gave them a Tulip Hopper Lock Vehicle as he tells them about which will the forest choose, which made them curious about his words.

As Kouta loses the will to fight, Sagara visited him in Drupers. He told Kouta the true meaning of protecting. DJ Sagara also tells him about Kaito and declares that Yggdrasill is nothing but weaklings. Sagara explains to Kouta about the masterminds of Helheim known as the Over Lords as Kouta was curious if they had the ability to stop the Helheim forest from conquering their world as he replies that it depends on him or Kaito. While Gaim invades Yggdrasill, the mysterious woman was curious and asked Sagara why does he let Kouta to continue fighting, after which Sagara reveals that he knows her identity.

Sagara meets the Over Lords as a hologram as he somehow knew their language.

Sagara appears as a hologram in Ryoma Sengoku's lab and revealed his knowledge about a "forbidden fruit" inside Helheim held by the Over Lords although Ryoma already knew of it.

Sagara reappeared before Rosyuo and Takatora as he is given the Kiwami Lockseed by Rosyuo for Kouta.

"Overcome the forest invasion, and win the Golden Fruit. When that happens, you'll rule the world. Defeat everyone who trying to get the Fruit of Knowledge, and win. Do you have your conviction to do that? Even if I'm a devil, you'll play your part of my game plan."

- DJ Sagara's advice to Kouta before presenting him the Kiwami Lockseed

Sagara appears to Kouta and Mai as Kouta was furious about what he told him about the Over Lord. However, Sagara blames Kouta for his action as the youth was still curious about what he knew. He then heals Kouta's wounds as Sagara tells him that he could save the world if he is willing to be one of the Over Lords. Sagara would inform Kouta that if he obtains the Forbidden Fruit, it is up to him to decide whats best for the world. Despite healing Kouta's wound, Sagara uses his otherworldly powers to test him if he wants to obtain the power he needed. Mai didn't believe what Sagara said, as he reveals that he is aiming to wanting a place that has the most potent power in the hands of an unknown quantity. After Kouta manages to grab the Kiwami Lockseed, he disappears and hopes for Kouta not to regret his decision.

Personality
The pirate radio DJ incites the excitement in joining Inves Games, and making it fashionable, as well as the standings of the city's teams. He refers to the various dance crews of as Beat Riders (ビートライダーズ). He starts his shows with a rousing call of "Hello, Zawame City!" (ヘロー、ザワメシティ！)

He is shown wearing skating glasses above his headband, has his headset on his neck, and wearing a white shirt with red polka dots which is also includes various logos, such as Carrefour. This shirt is almost an exact copy of the Tour de France polka dot shirt, including most of the regular sponsors. His real name is unknown.

He is quite loyal to his Over Lord master. And prior to Kouta's first meeting with him, Sagara sees Kouta as worthy, such as an ideal of hope for mankind from Kouta's desire, which is also why he gave the Kiwami Lockseed to him.

Ethymology
DJ Sagara's projection of a snake is a reference to the Genesis myth from the Bible, as the snake in The Garden of Eden tempted Eve with the forbidden Fruit of Knowledge and brought ruin to her and Adam, and Sagara had done the same to Sid, making the Lockseed Dealer betray the group to attempt to obtain the Forbidden Fruit, only to die at Rosyuo's hands. This is also referenced in the opening theme, as it refers to the Lockseeds as "the forbidden fruit"
