Character History

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Etymology
Notes
- Unlike Another Build, Another Ex-Aid's belt bears only a slight resemblance to the top view of Gamer Driver. The other aspects that have parallels is the silver strip and the black strip-like panel beneath it.
- However, his belt's strap itself is still the Gamer Driver's strap.
- Another Ex-Aid is the opposite of Ex-Aid in that he is a living Bugster plague and prevents people from clearing games, while the real Ex-Aid is a doctor who treats game diseases and is a helpful gamer who sometimes gives tips to people on how to beat games and always tries to clear them.
- Another Ex-Aid's host making a pact with Ora to save his son brings to mind Kagenari Nagumo, who collaborated with Johnny Maxima, the main antagonist of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending, in hopes of saving his daughter.
- Eventually, both of them were encouraged by Emu and their respective children were saved.
- Another Ex-Aid's design is similar to the Predator from the film series of the same name. Coincidentally, a new Predator movie was released on September 14th, 2 days before the debut episode of Another Ex-Aid.
