Gamedeus (ゲムデウス, Gemudeusu) was the thirteenth and final boss Bugster of Kamen Rider Chronicle. As per the rules of the game, the Ride-Player who has defeated and claimed the Gashatrophies of the thirteen Bugster bosses will be able to challenge Gamedeus as the final boss of the game.
History[]
Background[]
Silhouette of Gamedeus
Gamedeus was the thirteenth and final boss of Kamen Rider Chronicle. As per the rules of the game, the Ride-Player who has defeated and claimed the Gashatrophies of the thirteen Bugster bosses will be able to challenge Gamedeus as the final boss of the game. According to Kuroto Dan, Gamedeus is the ultimate Bugster, transcending the power of any and all games. The only way to defeat Gamedeus is to obtain the power of Kamen Rider Cronus.
As theorized by Parado, Gamedeus would also have the power to stop Cronus as well if the logic applies in reverse. With that in mind, Parado and Graphite went into Kamen Rider Chronicle's Game World to collect Gamedeus' virus from its silver-colored Bugster Union form. Graphite injected the virus into himself, however the power proved too much for him to handle as he grown slowly ill, but accepted the pain as a price to defeat Cronus.
The Gamedeus Pandemic[]
After the Kamen Riders' gathered the thirteen Gashatrophies, Gamedeus would be released in the world and unleashes his disease all over the city. Fortunately, Kiriya Kujo and Kuroto Dan were able to create Doctor Mighty XX as a vaccine for Gamedeus's virus in subduing the Bugster. However, Kamen Rider Cronus barged in to destroy Gamedeus and absorbed his data in order to assimilate themselves as one, becoming Gamedeus Cronus.
However, Poppy Pipopapo would sacrifice herself to spread the Gamedeus vaccine all over the city using Doctor Mighty XX. While the Kamen Riders assume Level 1 form to seperate Masamune from Gamedeus, Parado also uses the Doctor Mighty XX in an attempt to take Gamedeus down with the cost of his life.
Other Events[]
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending[]
It was revealed that once Gamedeus appeared, Masamune's former business partner Johnny Makishima stole Graphite's Gashacon Bugvisor. As the Bugvisor contained fragments of Gamedeus' data, Johnny uses it to become a Bugster known as Gamedeus Machina.
Kamen Rider Build: Be The One[]
In an event witnessed by Sento Kiryu, Gamedeus was among numerous monsters whom engaged the first eighteen Heisei Riders before being wiped out by the Vortex Time Break of Kamen Rider Zi-O BuildArmor.

2019: Apocalypse[]
An Another World version of Gamedeus is one of 5 last bosses summoned by Another Decade to aid him against Sougo Tokiwa. He is swiftly defeated by Sougo as Ohma Zi-O.
Hosts[]
Forms[]
Bugster Virus bacterium.
The Bugsters originate as the microscopic Bugster Virus (バグスターウイルス, Bagusutā Uirusu), a result of humans being contaminated by the Bugster, thus developing the condition known as the Game Illness (ゲーム病, Gēmu-byō). His viruses are unique, since they are white colored instead of orange, and they can even infect other Bugsters. These viruses can cause extreme pain and white flames on most Bugsters who contain this virus. They can also suppress certain abilities of Kamen Rider Cronus such as the Pause function when infected into Cronus' Buggle Driver II.
Powers[]
- Pause Immunity: Any Bugster infected with this virus is immune to Cronus' Pause ability, similar to Hyper Muteki.
Weaknesses[]
- Level 0 Gashats: Bugsters who are in the Game Areas created from Level 0 Gashats will have certain abilities restricted. In Gamedeus' case, its cultivation is suppressed by erasing its virus. Even if the virus is in any Gashacon Bugvisors, it can still be erased by touching the visor. However, this is only true for a small amount of its sample, as even Level 0 Riders were unable to disable the infectivity of a larger amount of the virus.
- Bugster's Natural Resistance: Although the Gamedeus Virus can infect even other Bugsters, their natural physiology allows them to gradually develop a resistance, and even an immunity, to its infection. This immunity was, in turn, used to create the Doctor Mighty XX Gashat, which acts like a vaccine to the ultimate Game Disease.
Gamedeus' Bugster Union form.
Powers[]
- Virus Cultivation: In its Bugster Union form, Bugster Viruses containing Gamedeus' data is generated on its body.
Gamedeus
Gamedeus is the most powerful Bugster enemy in the series, as even the co-operation of Ex-Aid Hyper Muteki and Para-DX Level 99 had a hard time fighting him, while previously the same combination was able to defeat Cronus easily. His health is 50 times of a normal Rider Gauge.
Powers[]
- Godlike Powers: As the final boss of Kamen Rider Chronicle, Gamedeus possess the greatest power of all Bugsters.
- Worldwide Pandemic: Like the Pac-Man Virus, Gamedeus's virus can affect multiple people at the same time, even Bugsters.
- Pause Immunity: It can be assumed that Gamedeus himself is immune to Cronus' Pause ability, similar to Hyper Muteki.
- Bugster Power Channeling: He can briefly manifest an image of a Bugster's head on his chest, and then use a technique unique to that Bugster:
- Swordsmanship: By channeling the Kaiden Bugster's power, he can skillfully slash his opponents.
- Magic Attacks: By channeling the Aranbura Bugster's power, he can unleash a powerful ice attack upon his opponents. It is the enhanced version of Aranbura's The Legendary Magic (伝説の魔法, Densetsu no Mahō).
- Transcendent Secret Technique: Explosive Crimson Dragon Sword (超絶奥義：紅蓮爆竜剣, Chō-zetsu Ōgi Guren Bakuryū Ken): By channeling Guren Graphite's power, he can perform a stronger version of Guren Graphite's signature move.

Weaknesses[]
- Kamen Rider Cronus: As the symbol that was designated to go against Gamedeus, Cronus is one of the few riders who logically can defeat Gamedeus.
- Pause: The key ability exclusively for Cronus to defeat Gamedeus. It can stop the flow of time around Cronus. It is also used to prevent any defeated Bugsters from being revived.
- Doctor Mighty XX Gashat: This Gashat is specifically designed to neutralize Gamedeus's powers, as it acts like a vaccine against Gamedeus virus. It did not only cure all infected patients of the virus, but also weakened Gamedeus significantly.

Super Gamedeus
Gamedeus evolves into this form after emerging from Gamedeus Cronus. Its power rivals that of Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer and his health is 999 times that of a normal Rider Gauge.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Regeneration: The cultivation of Bugster Virus in its body is accelerated to the point that damaged parts are quickly regenerated.
- Bugster Summoning: Super Gamedeus is able to summon any of Kamen Rider Chronicle's component Bugsters.
- Game Area: Super Gamedeus can generate a massive Game Area the size of a town. Because the inside of the Game Area is filled with Gamedeus' Bugster Virus, those within it are at an increased risk of being infected. In addition, the Game Disease of those infected will progress at an increased rate.
- Arsenal
- Deus Fabunil: Super Gamedeus' telescopic arms, from which it is able to shoot energy projectiles.
- Deuslasher: A gigantic version of the Deuslasher forms part of Super Gamedeus' lower body, which it can still use to attack enemies.
