For the A.R. world version from Kamen Rider Decade, see Kamen Rider Gai (A.R. World).
"You... You were supposed to make my game more fun."
―Gai's final words as Ouja betrayed him.[src]

Jun Shibaura (芝浦 淳, Shibaura Jun) was Kamen Rider Gai (仮面ライダーガイ, Kamen Raidā Gai, Masked Rider Gai), a fictional character in Kamen Rider Ryuki. He was the sixth of the 13 Kamen Riders the story revolves around.

History

Kamen Rider Ryuki

Early life

He is a 3rd year college student at Meirin University, extremely well-versed in computers and programming to be in the Matrix Netgame Club. He joined the Rider War simply to be the winner, seeing it as nothing more than a game. Jun even used his Matrix members' thrill-seeking urge against them to fight to the death in a game similar to the Rider War while he watched from the shadows.

Encounter with Ryuki

Investigating the matter, Shinji meets Jun when he reveals to the journalist as the mastermind behind the game of death. When the Mirror Monsters arrived, they transformed and fight one of the Mirror Monsters. After defeating the monsters, however, he later attacks Ryuki and steals his Dragreder card. [Iron Mask Legend]

Infiltration in ORE Journal and Fight against Knight

He used both Shinji's card and uploaded a virus to the ORE Journal mainframe to blackmail their head of their company. Shimada eventually managed to wipe out his programming with her own virus, while Miyuki Tezuka stole back the Dragreder card. [Card of Destiny] [The Grieving Knight]

Death

13-4

Gai dies from Ouja's attack

Soon after, Jun was picked up by the police for his ties to the Matrix member murders, getting his father to bail him out with Shuichi Kitaoka's aid. Jun even went so far as to reveal the true identity of the other Riders among them, impressed with Takeshi Asakura's sadistic nature. To suit that end, Jun kidnapped Yui to start a "Rider party" between him, Kamen Rider Knight, Kamen Rider Raia, and Kamen Rider Ryuki. However, in the middle of the fight, their battle gets intertwined with the one between Kamen Rider Zolda and Kamen Rider Ouja, who used Gai as a shield to take the blunt of Zolda's Final Vent before killing him with his own hands. Metalgelas was infuriated at its master's death at the hands of Kamen Rider Ouja and went after him only to fall victim to Ouja's contract card.[Jailbreak Rider] [Rider Gathering]

Time Vent

When Kamen Rider Odin uses Time Vent against Ryuki, Knight, Zolda and Ouja, later they repeat all deaths of other Riders Jun die brutally again by Veno Crash of Takeshi Asakura [Time Vent (episode)]

Oddly, Gai, like Kamen Rider Scissors and Kamen Rider Imperer, didn't reappear in the epilogue after Kanzaki reverted time.

Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker

KRPP GAI RAIAAVS

Kamen Rider Diend summons Kamen Rider Gai,Raia and PunchHopper in the World of Decade to fight KickHopper and Ouja .armed with the Metal Horn he and Raia figth against Ouja, but the result of the fight is not shown. [Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker]

OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders

Kamen Rider Gai in Legend War

Kamen Rider Gai was part of a group of reinforcement riders led by Akira Date/Kamen Rider Birth to aid the primary riders in defeating the Rock Great Leader. All the Kamen Riders got on their bikes and performed the All Rider Break attack which destroyed the Great Leader. [OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders]

Personality

Jun is a self-centered and arrogant man who takes pleasure in flaunting his superiority and toying with other people's lives for nothing more than a good laugh. He has no qualms about taking others' lives or leading others to do so. He prides himself in his resourcefulness and intelligence, which allows him to be able to manipulate other people the way he sees fit. However, such a trait eventually becomes the reason for his death, as he arrogantly (and wrongly) thinks that his intelligence will enable him to control Takeshi Asakura - one of the most dangerous participants of the Rider War, only to be manipulated himself in the end.

Meme

  • Since his last appearance in Rider Gathering, several fans began to depict Kamen Rider Gai as a human shield (as he was used as one by Ouja to defend Zolda's Final Vent), earning the "Guard Vent" nickname.

Notes

  • His Rider name, Gai, is a kun'yomi reading for the kanji "Yoroi" ( lit. "armor"), as his Rider form appeared as he is heavily armored along with his Mirror Monster, Metalgelas.
  • Like other Riders, Jun died an ironic death: He loved to manipulate other people but was killed by a person he thought he could manipulate, technically having himself manipulated in the end.
  • Gai is one of three riders in the series who has their Visor attached to their suit (in Gai's case, the Visor is mounted on his shoulder), the other two being Imperer whose Visor is mounted on his knee, and Verde whose Visor is mounted on his thigh. The same is said for their respective American counterparts.
