Danton (ダントン)[1] was the co-creator of the Gamma World with Adonis and Edith. His monstrous form is called Evolude (エヴォリュード, Evoryūdo). He is one of Makoto Fukami's three fathers.
Character History[]
Great Gamma War[]
Danton once worked alongside Adonis and Edith to create a new world for the Gamma. However, Danton soon learned how terrible the world that they had created and came up with an idea to remodel the people of Gamma, as he predicted that a system relying on the Great Eye will eventually collapse. However, Adonis disapproved of his ways, eventually leading to a great war between Danton's and Adonis' own troops, with Adonis assuming victory. Danton was soon imprisoned and thrown into space.[2]
Before he was imprisoned, he had completed his creations of his "children", Makoto and Kanon Fukami after many failed prototypes.
Returning to Gamma World[]
Years later, Danton made his way back to Gamma World[2] and later killed Gyro. Makoto as Specter encountered Danton, with their clash leading Danton to realize he had encountered his own son.
As he predicted, the citizens are suffering the effects of the red sky, under these circumstances, Danton promised Makoto to save the Gamma World by remodeling the citizens which soon Makoto accepted after learning his true origin. He showed his deep care for Makoto and Kanon, even sacrificing his left arm to save Kanon and scolded Makoto for not protecting Kanon well.
Specter VS Danton
Danton was soon challenged by Alain, but interfered by Makoto. But when Makoto and Alain had their clash, Danton showed his cruel personality to Kanon as Kanon still refused Danton's way despite learning the truth of herself. Danton almost killed Kanon and called her a failure, but he was stopped by Makoto. With Makoto finally coming to his senses, Danton showed his evolved form and fought well against Makoto in his new form, Sin Specter. Danton was soon defeated by Sin Specter's rider kick, realizing his mistakes and thanked Makoto before he died. In the post-credit scene, he was alongside Daigo and Ryu were seen as Makoto's respected fathers. [Ghost RE:BIRTH: Kamen Rider Specter]

They tried to use four Copy Kanons to capture Makoto Fukami to become the ultimate beings, but their plan was thwarted by the cooperation of Kamen Rider Ghost, Kamen Rider Saber, [Kamen Rider Saber × Ghost] Kamen Rider Specter, Kamen Rider Kanon Specter and Kamen Rider Blades.

Personality[]
