Enji Matsuda (松田 エンジ, Matsuda Enji) is an Actor-Type Humagear that was hacked by Horobi and given a Zetsumerisekey to transform into the Arsino Magia (アルシノマギア, Arushino Magia). Later, he was hacked by Gai Amatsu and turned into the Arsino Magia again during the Workplace Competition event.

History[]

Enji was introduced as the newly developed actor Humagear in the purpose to restore the image of Hiden Intelligence from being marked as the creator of Humagear killer and their belief that Humagear is humanity's dream by producing a movie with the collaboration with Shinya Owada. During the film shooting, Enji performed perfectly as the script but still disappointed Owada as he often ad-libbed the story. This enraged Little Assassin when he infiltrated the scene and attacked him. Although this discouraged Enji, Horobi hacked the actor Humagear into the Arsino Magia. The Arsino Magia and was completely destroyed by Valkyrie Lightning Hornet's Thunder Lightning Blast Fever.

After his destruction as the Arsino Magia, a replacement model resembling Enji was created and made the filming a success. Enji continued to improve from his acting from scratch, which did impress Owada. Unfortunately, the filming went awry due to Little Assassin shooting and injuring Shinya from a blind spot.

During the mock wedding between Enmusubi Match and Chiharu Ebii, Enji would serve as the pastor officiating their 'marriage.' When Zero-One in his MetalCluster Hopper form lost control, Enji was affected by the ensuing shockwaves and seemingly possessed by the will of the Ark. He tricks Gai Amatsu in order to gather information on the Hiden Metal. Enji had already scanned his Humagear Body Seal barcode with his own Progrisekey to help Is transfer his data to the Progrise Hopper Blade, but soon was forced to transform into the Arsino Magia by Gai. Later, he was rescued by Aruto as Zero-One MetalCluster Hopper, thanks to the Progrise Hopper Blade that was created by Izu and was escorted by Izu to a safe place.

Personality[]

As a Humagear developed to work in the film industry, Enji worked hard and effectively memorized the script for the movie. Unfortunately, being a Humagear couldn't give him an experience of ad-libbing during the acting, which leads Enji to be bugged and try to reread the script to learn if the performance existed or not.

When he received the commentary from Shinya, Enji tried to learn to adapt and improve.

By the time he was called upon again, his acting skills seem to have improved dramatically, as he was able to assume the role of a pastor and even pretended to be hacked by the Ark in order to trick Gai.
