Garai (ガライ) is the prince descended from Fog Mother's blood. He usually takes the form of a tall man dressed in white, and is good at martial arts such as punching and choking, and is also capable of lightly receiving enemy attacks with his fists[1]. In addition, he has floating ability such as standing on the surface of the sea[1]. Garai has a ruthless personality, such as thinking of "life" only as an "object" and expressing[2] death as "be broken"[1].
History[]
Garai preceded to carry out the sacrificial ceremony while his younger siblings battled J. He eventually took on J himself to keep the sacrifice going, until Berry came to his aid in vain. But with Kana now in the egg chamber and Berry knocked out, Garai transformed into his monster form. Garai was even stronger in this form when Kamen Rider J impaled a sharp object in him. Garai used his ball attack on him. When J got free from it, he used the Rider Kick to knock Garai unto the altar, fatally wounding him.
