This article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Zi-O. |
In 2004, Hajime Aikawa (相川 始, Aikawa Hajime) was Kamen Rider Chalice (仮面ライダーカリス, Kamen Raidā Karisu, Masked Rider Chalice).
History[]
Kamen Rider Zi-O[]
After the fated battle with Kenzaki, Hajime continued to live with the Kurihara family for a while. Eventually, however, Hajime would leave Jacaranda Cafe for good, as he wanted to pursue his own dreams, and he wanted Amane to live her own life as a grown woman as well. Hajime would travel around the world, taking photographs of the world as he saw it. He would also occasionally work at various photography studios from time to time.
Blade Joker!? 2019[]
In the second battle between Sougo Tokiwa/Kamen Rider Zi-O and Amane Kurihara/Another Blade, Hajime suddenly appeared from nowhere, to the latter's surprise. Telling Sougo to stay away from Amane, Hajime transformed into Kamen Rider Chalice and began fighting him. Though Chalice was overwhelming Zi-O in their battle, he stopped for a moment upon sensing a familiar presence. Kazuma Kenzaki had reappeared in front of him. Angrily asking Hajime why he had used his Undead powers, Kenzaki transformed into Kamen Rider Blade. In a seemingly uncontrollable fit of rage, Kenzaki viciously attacked Chalice, despite his pleas to stop. The battle was evenly matched, with both sides showing no signs of giving up.[Blade Joker!? 2019]
2019: Trinity Has Begun![]
After that, Hajime escapes to his home, with Amane following him. Amane asks about Hajime's whereabout in these 14 years, and they converse for a while before suddenly Kenzaki appears and forces him to fight. They transforms and fight savagely until Amane, who is transformed again by White Woz to become Another Blade, intercepts them. Another Blade proves too strong for both Blade and Chalice, and she absorbs their Joker powers. As a result, Kenzaki and Hajime become normal humans, and Another Blade becomes the Joker, therefore winning the Battle Fight. They look horrified when the new Joker summons the Stone of Sealing with an infinite number of Darkroachi inside to kill all living beings on Earth. But, Sougo Tokiwa appears and using the Trinity Ridewatch, he fused with Woz and Geiz, becoming Zi-OTrinity that manages to destroy Another Blade, and destroying the Stone of Sealing, saving the world. In the end, Hajime reconciles with both Kenzaki and Amane, his fate to fight Kenzaki endlessly as Joker has ended.[2019: Trinity Has Begun!]
Hajime was reverted back to the Joker Undead following Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O's timeline reset, however remembering everything that happened in old timeline as well.[2019: Apocalypse][Kamen Rider Blade 20th Anniversary STAGE&TALK]

Chalice's default form assumed by scanning the Change Mantis Rouse Card in the Chalice Rouzer. Unlike the other main Riders, Chalice is not a traditional "Kamen Rider", but rather the form of the Mantis Undead taken on by the Joker Undead as per his abilities. Though Chalice has especially high agility, he is superior to the other main Riders due to using the original Rouzer technology instead of an imitation. Chalice is equipped with the Mantis Undead's weapon, the Chalice Arrow, which can be combined with the Chalice Rouzer to scan Rouse Cards for special attacks instead of transformation.
Appearances: Zi-O Episode 29-30
- "Spirit!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
When the Joker Undead chose to assume a human identity, he used the Spirit Rouse Card to assume the form of the Human Undead and began using the alias Hajime Aikawa. From then on, Hajime preferred to always be in this transformation outside of battle, only cancelling the transformation and assuming his true form when absolutely forced to.
When Another Blade absorbed Hajime's Joker Undead powers, Hajime was permanently stuck in this form, effectively becoming human.
