- "No need to run. We're friends, are we not?"
- ―Heart's sarcastic response to Roidmude 051[src]
The Heart Roidmude (ハートロイミュード, Hāto Roimyūdo), known simply as Heart (ハート, Hāto), also known as Roidmude 002 (ロイミュード002, Roimyūdo Zero Zero Ni), is the Roidmude responsible for the uprising of the Roidmudes, as well as the deaths of Tenjuro Banno and Krim Steinbelt, although he has a personal vengeance against Banno. After Brain's death, he and Medic join forces with the Kamen Riders to stop Banno from summoning the 2nd Global Freeze. Though Banno is defeated, it costs the lives of both Chase and Medic, leaving Heart as the last remaining Roidmude in existence, resolving to settle his conflict in a final battle with Kamen Rider Drive, Shinnosuke Tomari.

Character History
Origin
Originally the Roidmude 002, when Banno's research on the Roidmudes hit a dead end, he asked for Krim's help as he gave them the Core Driviars, saving him in the last moment. Later, 002 was forced to copy the appearance of Shinzo Hiroi, who refused to fund Tenjuro Banno's research. This appearance made him a target to Banno's experiments as he gets his revenge by torturing 002 as if he were actually Shinzo, but was rescued by Krim Steinbelt, Banno's colleague, whom ceased their partnership after witnessing his insanity. 002 and other two Roidmudes were installed with an evil chip, which not only gave him the negative emotions of human beings but also made him evolve through said emotions. Thus, they killed their creators Banno and Krim (ironically, his rescuer) after their awakening. To ensure that Banno's torture would not be forgotten, 002 retained the human form he had copied. [What is in the Belt's Past?] [Why Are the Two Genius Scientists Having a Conflict?]
Global Freeze
During Global Freeze, Heart, alongside numerous other of his Roidmude brethren were defeated by Protodrive. However, Medic, with her unique ability to restore Roidmude bodies, allowed Heart to evolve into the Heart Roidmude where he defeated Kamen Rider Protodrive. From there, he worked together with Freeze and Brain to experiment on Protodrive, stripping him of his memories and free will with the new persona known as Chase. [Type ZERO Episode 0: Countdown to Global Freeze] [Who Reveals the Real Criminal?]
Drive
He was first seen after Roidmude 029 was defeated by Drive as Heart gives the Roidmude a Viral Core to form a new body. [Why Did My Time Stop?] [What is a Kamen Rider?]
Heart and Brain were more than content with sitting in the background, though inwardly, Heart fostered a deep rage and grudge against the current Drive when Roidmude Cores were getting destroyed, which reached a fever pitch during Volt's plan [How Can I Get Used to the Cool Body?], prompted his inclusion into the fight and led to Krim ordering Drive and Kiriko to run immediately upon his appearance. After his near-death experience when saved by Chase before the Dead Zone initiated, Heart weakened slowly with his newly revived comrade, Medic healed him, though the process took some time.
After fully healed, Heart tried to enter the battle again with Chase but Drive quickly called Deco Traveller to delay them, allowing him and the new Rider, Mach to escape. Heart appeared again in his Dead Zone state, overpowering Mach until Drive Type Dead Heat overpowered him and threw him off. [Why is Rinna Sawagami Nervous?] After Medic announced that Drive must be annihilated quickly for him having defeated a lot of Roidmudes, all of them (minus Brain) murdered humans that past Roidmudes used as templates for their disguises to lure the Tire Exchange Shift Cars which Medic captured and enslaved. After Heart delayed Mach, Drive was left to face an upgraded Mashin Chaser and the enslaved Shift Cars alone. Mach in the end was forced to lend Shift Dead Heat to Drive at the cost of his own safety. [What Can Be Spoken About the Irregular Dead?]
When Roidmude 089 ("Doctor D") hosted a brief alliance with the remnant terrorist organization, Shocker, as well as Youkai from a parallel Earth, Heart congratulated his 'new friend', the Youkai page Kyuemon Izayoi, on his fruitful gathering of human fear, only for Kyuemon to reject Heart's friendship, referring to the Roidmudes as 'mechanical puppets'. This offended Brain, rebuking by calling him a repulsive monster, with Medic telling Brain to calm himself while Heart noted that from the humans' point of view themselves as Roidmudes would indeed appear to be monsters. Later on, at their hideout, Heart was alerted by Brain to a 'giant robot' which he saw charging past the window. With him and Medic missing the sight, Medic said Brain was being silly again while Heart suggested he get some rest, to which Brain figured that Heart was probably right as the rest of the Ninningers' OtomoNin set off to fight Kyuemon's Giant Roidmudes. [Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Vs. Kamen Rider Drive Spring Vacation One-Hour Combining Special]
With 001's death, Heart was later upgraded by Medic, who granted him the ability of Super Heavy Acceleration. [Who Claimed the Life of Eisuke Tomari?]
After weakened Dead Heat Mach as he was about to retrieve the tablet, he was attacked by a revenged Banno. [Where Will the Bullet Guide Justice?]
Heart later achieves the Super Evolution State and reveals his past to Shinnosuke and Go, sparing them when Banno and Roidmude 004 kidnapped Mr. Belt. Heart would later appear to protect Medic against Banno, but ultimately loses Medic due to Brain giving her up and was reprogrammed to absorb excess amounts of energy into her body and warping her freedom.
When Brain "betrays" Heart, Heart is infuriated, shocked that his closest friend would betray him. However, Brain ultimately saves Medic at the cost of losing his own life, causing Heart and Medic to swear vengeance on Banno, only for 004 to allow him to escape as he self-destructs in an attempt to wipe out all of his master's enemies in one single blow. [Who Loves Heart the Most?]
However, Heart and Medic are saved along with Drive and Chase when Mach takes it upon himself to take the brunt of the shockwave, forcing everyone out of the way. With Banno taking the SSDC as a base to complete the Sigma Circular, Heart and Medic follow the path set by the three Kamen Riders who managed to penetrate Banno's protective barrier. They make their appearance as they save the three immobilized Riders from Banno's killing blow, with Heart giving Go his thanks specifically. Confronting Banno, Heart notes that, having already killed him once, he can give him a fate worse than death by destroying his machine, thus ruining his aspiration to rule humanity. Seeing the prospect of this making Banno visibly uneasy, Heart tells Shinnosuke that they are on the same side now as all five transform to fight Banno and his Reaper Legion Roidmudes. Soon after, Heart and Medic accompany Shinnosuke in heading off to destroy the Sigma Circular, as Go tells him to express his thanks by allowing him to deal with Banno alongside Chase. [What is a Roidmude's Last Dream?]
- "Thank you. At the very end...I actually made a friend. The first...human..."
- ―Heart's last words when his core is destroyed for the first time.[src]
After managing to get past the barrier, he, Medic and Drive destroy 081, 101 and 105, but unfortunetly Medic is unable to heal them, leaving him and her as the last of their kind. He tells Shinnosuke they will have their final battle, but not before he learns of Chase's death from Shinnosuke. He and Drive proceed to the Sigma Circular, however Medic is unable to follow them. Medic does show up and manages to heal and injured Shinnosuke, but it does end up using the last of her powers and killing her, much to Heart's anguish. [Why Must They Fight?] The two manage to destroy the Sigma Circular, however Shinnosuke started to faint as he falls out of the SSDC and ends up being separated from Mr. Belt. Heart attacks Shinnosuke once he regains consciousness and denies the chance to co-exist with humanity. Before he can attack Shinnosuke, Heart's injuries from the final attack on Sigma catch up to him. In the end, he wishes Shinnosuke to remember the Roidmudes as he dies peacefully after at least gaining a new human friend. [Who Will You Entrust the Future to, My Friend?]
Kamen Rider Drive: Final Stage
Heart was revived by Roidmude 108 in the Final Stage. He later turned on 108 and gained power from Shift Cars and transformed into Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron. [Kamen Rider Drive: Final Stage]
Super Movie War Genesis
Heart returns alongside Brain and Medic in a black form due to the "butterfly effect" of Shinnosuke Tomari and Takeru Tenkuji time travel to the 2005. [Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis]
Kamen Rider Ghost: Legendary! Riders' Souls!
- "And you call yourself a Kamen Rider? The Kamen Rider I knew was a human made of much sterner stuff. Are the two of you really so weak and fragile? Your opposition poses no challenge!"
- ―Heart unfavorably compares Ghost and Specter to Drive.[src]
Heart is resurrected, appearing in his Super Evolved form, and summoned by Frey following his arrival in the human world at night. Heart proceeds to make his presence known on the following day as he appears out in the open, attacking no-one but gaining the attention of the Kamen Riders' as he waits for them to appear. Makoto Fukami is the first to confront Frey and Heart, warning Takeru Tenkuji that they are not Ganma as he follows accompanied by Akari and Onari. With Takeru and Makoto transforming into Ghost and Specter respectively, Heart recogonizes them as Kamen Riders and thus engages them in battle. Heart is soon enough fought off by the two Riders only to suddenly beat them back with his superior strength. When Ghost and Specter opt to use their respective stronger Eyecons, Toucon Boost and Houdini, Frey robs them of those as well as the rest of their heroic Eyecons, denying them their ability to change Damashii. Continuing his attack on the Riders, Heart unfavorably compares them to Drive only for Ghost to evoke Shinnosuke Tomari as he tells him that humans can always get moving again at top gear. They are subsequently interrupted by the arrival of Freya, who Ghost and the others recognize as similar to Frey as they acknowledge each other. Freya proceeds to provide Kamen Rider Drive's Shift Speed Car for Ghost who unseals the Drive Parka Ghost from it, creating the Drive Ghost Eyecon which he uses to assume Drive Damashii, granting him the power of Kamen Rider Drive and allowing him to turn the tide against and quickly defeat Heart, who is satisfied to feel what he expects from a true Kamen Rider as he is destroyed once again. [Drive Chapter]
Ultimately, it was revealed that Heart and the other past enemies were brought back in order for the Kamen Riders to gather the Kamen Rider Ghost Eyecons so they could defeat the monster Xibalba, as Frey and Freya secretly planned together. [OOO Chapter]
Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart
- "When we last parted, it was a tragedy... But now the three of us are together. We have nothing to fear."
- ―Heart before transforming into a Kamen Rider[src]
Two years after the defeat of Banno, an experiment to revive Chase using a newly build Human Type Roidmude body and a blank Drive System results in Heart, Brain, and Medic being revived instead. Heart becomes the main personality of the blank body and Brain and Medic reside in the Type Heartron Shift Car. The three are able to switch personalities similar to how Shinnosuke and Krim can when using Type Tridoron. At the same time, a hostile creature very similar to the Roidmudes appears and starts attacking people, specifically the human templates of previous Roidmudes. After meeting Lt. Otta, the three revived Roidmudes decide to play detective and solve this mystery. When meeting the mysterious Roidmude in question, 5886, Heart reasons that it cannot be a proper Roidmude due to there only being 109 bodies crafted (not including ZZZ). Brain then realizes that 5886 is a compilation of the remnants of the Roidmudes. Because the body his Core resides in lacks most of an average Roidmude's combat abilities, Heart cannot match 5886 in combat even in his Super Evolved form. As a last ditch effort, Heart requests Brain to compile combat data from previous battles with Drive to install into the blank Drive Driver. Using this impromptu configuration, the three Roidmudes transform into Kamen Rider Drive Type Speed Wild Technic. Being an incomplete form, Speed Wild Technic is soundly defeated by 5886.
At the hospital Heart gets into an argument with Lt. Otta. Heart declares, "I don't want to witness Roidmudes clinging to a lost past and attacking people," and storms out of the ward, meeting Shinnosuke outside the hospital. Shinnosuke then states that Lt. Otta is stronger than Heart and leaves, leaving the Roidmude confused.
Meanwhile, a recuperating Otta realizes the only Roidmude template that hasn't been taken into protective custody is that of 065, Judge. Remembering that 065 copied his mentor Tachibana, Otta hurriedly leaves the hospital, not stopping to change out of his hospital gown. Arriving at Judge's crime scene, Otta engages 5886 in bare handed combat in order to protect the retired Tachibana. Heart soon arrives to fight the to help the middle aged officer, but is also promptly defeated. It is here where Heart realizes what Shinnosuke meant by Otta being stronger. Heart realizes that strength doesn't come from power, but from one's heart. Embracing the emotions inside him, Heart returns the favor to 5886 and beats the fake Roidmude down bare handed. At the climax of the battle, Brain uses his power over technology to create a new configuration of Drive: Kamen Rider Heart. Using this configuration, Heart destroys 5886, though the core of 005 manages to just barely escape. Having used all of his power, Heart and Otta share a few last words, recognizing their new bonds of friendship before the cores of the three resurrected Roidmudes pass on once again.[Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart]
Kamen Rider Build: Be The One
In an event witnessed by Sento Kiryu, Super Evolved Heart was among numerous monsters whom engaged the first 18 Heisei Riders before being wiped out by the Vortex Time Break of Kamen Rider Zi-O BuildArmor. [Kamen Rider Build: Be The One]
Kamen Rider Brain
Heart, along with Medic, was present to greet Brain after his brief time as a Kamen Rider.
Personality
- "The Kamen Rider will die again."
- ―Heart's resolve to end Shinnosuke Tomari[src]
As his name implies, Heart portrays small empathetic traits like calling Roidmudes his friends and giving destroyed ones new Viral Cores. However, his personality shifts to that of a merciless killer, as seen when killing his creator turned torturer, Banno then ironically his rescuer, Krim Steinbelt. Heart appears to have a grudge against humans, primarily mostly against Drive and Krim to the point where he would activate Dead Zone, a risky move to end the Kamen Rider's life. According to Chase, his reason of hating humanity was because of Banno's abuses on him in 15 years ago.
Heart greatly values his fellow Roidmudes, including Chase, preventing Brain from disposing him after the former realized that he was once a Kamen Rider. After Chase appears to be destroyed, he is overcome with sadness despite Medic telling him that he was disposable and wasn't part of the Promised Number to begin with. After learning Chase was still alive, he took a visit to him. He realized that Chase was lost in finding his way. Despite knowing that Chase might rebel against him again, he told Chase to decide his own way and gave him back the prototype Speed Shift Car. He even sadly bid farewell to Chase after learning that he wanted to return as a Kamen Rider. He soon scolded Medic for destroying her fellow Roidmude who she thought useless when he finally found out the truth of the sudden abnormal decreasing number of his allies. Though caring for Roidmudes in general, it is clear that Heart values Brain, Chase, and Medic the most, showing great sadness when each had died against Banno and his forces.
Though having wished for the Roidmude race to rise above humanity, Heart did not have a condescending attitude towards humans like most Roidmudes did. Indeed, Heart has recognized Shinnosuke Tomari/Kamen Rider Drive as a worthy adversary, noting his courage and tenacity. Near his initial death, Heart even learned to overcome his hatred towards humans, befriending Shinnosuke before his core was destroyed. Since then, Heart has shown respect for humanity, especially those who carry the mantle of "Kamen Rider". This change of heart would later prove beneficial for Heart, allowing him to befriend Genpachiro Otta, as well as be chosen by Go Shijima/Kamen Rider Mach to be revived alongside Brain, Chase, and Medic.
According to Freeze, Heart's special emotion is "joy", and Heart himself believes that he had already found the key person needed to unlock his evolution, wrongly thinking it to be Chase, and later assuming it to be Drive. His other emotion is "wrath", as Banno is his primary enemy.

A Roidmude body resembling Proto-Zero but lacking a number code was built by Rinna Sawagami and Kyu Saijo, intended to be used for Chase's revival. However, Heart was revived in this body instead, with the cores of Brain and Medic in Shift Heartron being able to briefly utilize this body too. Heart is still able to access his Super Evolution State in this body. However this body lacks some of his abilities, such as Heavy Acceleration.
Heart's mobility while using this body can be controlled via a special device used by Genpachiro Otta. The Roidmude body reverted back to its original state when the cores of Heart, Brain and Medic faded away.

- The signature ability of the Roidmude is to somehow slow down the movement of surrounding objects', including that of humans, with their unaffected consciousness aware of their impass during this time. One can be protected by the Heavy Acceleration effect by carrying Shift Cars or Signal Bikes on their person.
- Super Heavy Acceleration (超重加速, Chō Jūkasouku)
- Thanks to the retooling made by Medic, Heart is now able to induce an improved version of Heavy Acceleration like Chase. It can be produced in an area by channeling it through his fist and slamming it into the ground. Unlike normal Heavy Acceleration, the affected area is visible as a red corona surrounding the density-shifted area. Also, this version completely freezes normal humans and even normal Rider forms such as Drive Type Speed in place, allowing Heart to bludgeon his foes into submission with no chance of retaliation. Humorously enough, ordinary Roidmudes are also not an exception from this case, as Brain is also affected by this, causing him to nearly suspended in the mid air. Both Shift Formula and Dead Heat is capable of moving within the affected area thanks to its enormous power, but even as Drive Type Dead Heat or Deadheat Mach, it leaves them feeling sluggish and unable to fight effectively.

- Dead Zone (デッドゾーン, Deddo Zōn)
- A technique where Heart builds up a lot of energy through the heart on his chest to increase his combat prowess, where its highest degree can cause an explosion while damaging himself in the process. However, this attack can be suicidal if the target latches on and empowers the heart. A way to prevent this would be to separate Heart at the last minute.

- Strength Empowerment
- Heart Roidmude possesses incredible strength that allow him to "kill" Protodrive barehanded. Yet, he grows stronger compared to his days in the Global Freeze, now being able to outmatch Drive Type Dead Heat and/or Deadheat Mach. As his name implies, this technique was made by sending a large impulse throughout his body like a beating heart.
- Enhanced Durability
- Heart Roidmude's body can sustain numerous assaults, examples from Drive Type Speed Shadow's attacks and even firearm. He is also able to resist huge impacts, like those of Drive Type Dead Heat's Dead Zone-powered fist, which only sent Heart crashing a nearby hill than killing him.
- Supernatural Leap
- After raising his level of capacity, Heart can leap longer distances than what is naturally possible.
- Illusionary Environment
- Heart Roidmude is capable of changing the appearance of his environment via illusions.

Appearances: Drive Episodes 38-40, Drive Saga: Chaser, Drive 41-47, Super Movie War Genesis, Drive Saga: Heart
- "Drive: Type Speed Wild Technic! (Upbeat jazz music, urban hip-hop music, dynamic music)"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
When using the Heartron Shift Car for the first time, Heart transforms into Type Speed Wild Technic (タイプスピードワイルドテクニック, Taipu Spīdo Wairudo Tekunikku), a hybrid of Drive's three main forms (Type Technic's head, Type Speed's upper body and Type Wild's lower body).
Heart was able to access the power of Drive after Brain compiled together data collected from the Roidmudes' battles with Drive. However, the hasty compilation of Drive's data resulted in the creation of this form, which made Drive's power incomplete. Thus, this form appears to be much weaker than any of the regular Drive's forms, as Roidmude 5886 was able to easily rip the form's shoulder pads along with the Shift Tire off the suit.
This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart.
- "Drive: Type Miracle! (Dramatic rock guitar solo) Heart the Kamen Rider!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Type Miracle (タイプミラクル, Taipu Mirakuru) is the default form of Heart's Kamen Rider form known as Kamen Rider Heart (仮面ライダーハート, Kamen Raidā Hāto), accessed through the Drive Driver and the Heartron Shift Car, once Brain and Medic fuse their cores into the Drive Driver, allowing Heart to use Shift Heartron's power at maximum.
This form is based off Kamen Rider Drive's Type Tridoron, due to Shift Heartron resembling Shift Tridoron. This form also has the ability to execute a Viral Blending (バイラルカキマゼール, Bairaru Kakimazēru), which allows Heart to use the powers of Brain, Medic and his own.
- Medic: Heart uses an electric golden tentacle to restrict and shock the enemy.
- Brain: Heart uses a toxic green tentacle to restrict and poison the enemy.
- Heart: Heart enters the Dead Zone, increasing his power.
Although this form is called Kamen Rider Heart, it is technically a form belonging to the Drive System due to its use of the Drive Driver.
A major downside of this form would be that the amount of energy used is extremely dangerous, proving to be too much for the three Roidmudes' Cores and causing them to fade away once more after that.
This form's Full Throttle finisher is HeartDrop (ハートドロップ, Hātodoroppu)[1], simillar to Drive Type Tridoron's TriDrop, where Heart focuses Dead Zone's power into his body then his right leg, making it glow red flame energy as he slams into the enemy with a flying kick.
This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Heart.
All versions of this Type bear a Shift Tire across Drive's left shoulder. During the Tire Blending process, the three Shift Tires being combined first attach to his elbow in a manner similar to Type Formula's Shift Tires. While initiating a Tire Blending, dramatic rock music plays. Like Mach's Signal and Tire Exchanges, Drive's stats are not altered when he's equipped with a Shift Tire formed from a Tire Blending.
- "Drive: Type Tridoron! (Dramatic rock guitar solo)"

- Height: 198.5 cm.
- Weight: 108.0 kg.
Ability Perimeters:
- Punching power: 18 t
- Kicking power: 31 t
- Maximum jump height: 45 m
- Maximum running speed: 100 m. per 0.643 sec. (318.1 mph)
Type Tridoron (タイプトライドロン, Taipu Toraidoron) is Drive's sports car-based evolved form of Type Speed, as well as his ultimate form. Accessed through the Shift Tridoron Car, this form converts the actual Tridoron into armor for Drive, complete with the Type Tridoron Tire (タイプトライドロンタイヤ, Taipu Toraidoron Taiya).
Drive's special ability in this form is being able to initiate a Tire Blending (タイヤかき混ぜる, Taiya Kakimazeru) by turning the Advanced Ignition before he presses the button marked with three tires on Shift Tridoron and then lifts it once, which allows him to combine three Tire Exchange Shift Cars of a particular set into a singular Shift Tire with the unique powers and abilities of the chosen Shift Cars for immediate and simultaneous use. Optionally, Drive can delay combining the Shift Tires by launching them as projectiles to attack his enemies before returning back to complete the Tire Blending process. Drive can also push this ability to the maximum by combining all of his Shift Tires with the Type Tridoron Tire into a single glowing white tire. This, when coupled with Heart increasing his own power to the maximum, is powerful enough to destroy even the Sigma Circular.
Other abilities include advanced energy shielding, which generates a red bubble-like protective area around Drive that is capable of deflecting Super Evolution Roidmude-class energy attacks, and utilizing the smaller tires under his feet as a pair of roller skates.
This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider Drive: Final Stage

By Tire Blending his hotrod-based Shift Cars (Max Flare, Funky Spike, and Midnight Shadow), Drive can upgrade Type Tridoron into Type Tridoron Attack 1.2.3 (タイプトライドロンアタック1・2・3, Taipu Toraidoron Atakku Wan Tsū Surī), which bears the Attack 1.2.3 Tire (アタック1・2・3タイヤ, Atakku Wan Tsū Surī Taiya).
In this mode, Drive can produce multiple clones of himself and throw spike projectiles along with fireballs at the same time.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Heart is portrayed by Tomoya Warabino (蕨野 友也, Warabino Tomoya). As Heart Roidmude, his suit actor is Yohei Fujita (藤田 洋平, Fujita Yohei). His suit actor as Kamen Rider Heart is currently unknown.
Conception
Both Heart Roidmude and Kamen Rider Heart[2] were designed by Takayuki Takeya, who designed all of the Roidmudes in Kamen Rider Drive. In his concept art design, Heart has a wing-like part on his left shoulder which resembled an aorta of a human heart. For the S.I.C. figure for Heart Roidmude seen at Tamashii Nations 2015, two of these wing-like parts were added onto both of his shoulders.[3]
Notes
- Coincidentally, Heart's low-class form is based on a spider, the first monster the original Kamen Rider defeated.
- Heart's suicidal Dead Zone attack could be a reference to a dangerous disease, Myocardial infarction, also known as heart attack, where it delivers shock and sudden chest pain to it's patient and worse, death.
- Before Type Dead Heat made its debut, some fans speculated that Shift Dead Heat would be or would come from Heart's heart, as Shinnosuke mentioned "dead heat race" during his fight with Heart in episode 10. However, this was merely coincidence, as the "dead heat race" he mentioned in that situation was referring to both of them dying, and Shift Dead Heat is made by Professor Harley, then given to Rinna for further adjustments.
- It could also be foreshadowing to Shinnosuke's fight against Heart as Type Dead Heat in its debut appearance.
- Drive Type Technic's act of accelerating Heart's Dead Zone explosion could be a reference to defibrillation, a process in which an electronic device gives an electric shock to the heart.
- Heart's feelings about friends is a bit similar to Kamen Rider Fourze's main protagonist, Gentaro Kisaragi. They both feel depressed when a beloved friend of theirs is lost. But while Gentaro wants to make friends with both allies and villains, Heart only sees Roidmudes as his friends.
- Heart bears homage to Joyful Knight Candelilla from Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger in that:
- Both have the heart-shape motif.
- Both have the empowerment of happiness.
- Both are friendly to their allies.
- Heart is the last Spider-Type Roidmude, as well as the last Roidmude overall, to perish.
- Heart follows the tradition of red-colored villains whom had the ability to adapt into an opponent's attack once experiencing it and later rebelling against their bosses to fulfil their own agenda.
- Kamen Rider Heart's suit is a modified version of Kamen Rider Drive Type Tridoron's suit. Previously, in the Kamen Rider Drive: Final Stage stageshow, Heart became Drive Type Tridoron during the climax battle.
- Heart's Kamen Rider form is a variation of Drive, but it is generally referred by the official material and by titular rider himself as Kamen Rider Heart, not Drive Type Miracle.
- Drive Type Speed Wild Technic is a reference to an early drawing of Drive by Genpachiro Otta. Incidentally, during Heart's transformation into Type Speed Wild Technic, Genpachiro was present to witness the transformation.
- A Shift Speed Wild Technic was released in the toyline prior, but did not appear in Kamen Rider Heart.
