History

Kamen Rider Zi-O

Blade Joker!? 2019

Blade vs Chalice

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!]}

Whether Hajime continued to live a new life as a human or was reverted back to the Joker Undead following Kamen Rider Ohma Zi-O's timeline reset is currently unknown. ^{[2019: Apocalypse]}

Ace Form (エースフォーム, Ēsu Fōmu) is the default form of Kamen Rider Chalice assumed by scanning the Change Mantis Rouse Card in the Chalice Rouzer. Unlike the BOARD Riders, Chalice is not a Kamen Rider transformation produced by a Rider System. Chalice is the name of the Mantis Undead, whom Hajime mimics using his ability as the Joker Undead to assume the form of any other Undead. Though Chalice has especially high agility, he is superior to the Ace Forms of any of the BOARD 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.

Statistics

• Height: 173 cm.
• Weight: 59 kg.

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.
