Masuji Narusawa (鳴沢 益治, Narusawa Masuji) is a corrupt detective given a Raidriser and Progrisekey by Naki to transform into the Dynamaiting Lion Raider (ダイナマイティングライオンレイダー, Dainamaitingu Raion Reidā)[1].
History[]
Masuji Narusawa was a police officer of the Cybercrime Countermeasures Division of the Metropolitan Police Department. In order to maintain a high arrest rate, he indiscriminately produced false charges towards random civillians in order to arrest himself. Amoung his many victims are Yuto Sakaki, who he framed of committing a marriage scam towards his fiancée Chiharu Ebii. He had likely recieved his Raidriser and the Dynamaiting Lion Zetsumerisekey from Naki.
As Sakaki's trial was underway, he transformed into the Dynamaiting Lion Raider in order to attack the Lawyer Humagear, Bengoshi Bingo, until Aruto Hiden and Isamu Fuwa intervened. He even left behind a ZAIA Spec that he stolen from prosecutor Naoto Ichimori at the scene to hide any suspicions of his involvement. While Aruto and Fuwa recovered it, he redirected them to Ichimori as they believed he was the one who attacked Bingo, only for the Lawyer Humagear to confirm that the prosecutor isn't the Raider.
During the last day of the trial, Fuwa met with Narusawa regarding his investigation. After learning that he is the identity of the Raider and the true culprit behind the marriage scam, Fuwa dragged Narusawa to the courtroom to confess his crimes. He tackled Fuwa and took back his Progrisekey, transforming into the Dynamaiting Lion Raider after exiting the building. During his fight against Vulcan Assault Wolf, Narusawa tried to attack Zero-One MetalCluster Hopper but ends up taking a heavy hit by the Cluster Cells, forcing the critically injured Masuji back into his human form and passed out from the attack. After the battle, Masuji was exposed as the true culprit of the scandal, which led to his arrest and dismissal as he recuperates.
