"I am a Humagear...but not a tool!"

―Naki^[src]

Naki (亡 [なき], Naki lit. "Death") is a member of MetsubouJinrai.net who resurfaces during the Workplace Competition under the control of Gai Amatsu to support ZAIA Enterprise Japan in its efforts against Hiden Intelligence.

History

Pre-Daybreak Town Accident

12 years ago, Naki, alongside with Horobi, Jin, and Raiden were created and manufactured by Hiden Intelligence before they were hacked by the newly activated Ark and creating MetsubouJinrai.net with their own goal to wipe out humanity. Horobi and Jin were re-activated in Daybreak Town, Raiden was assigned to maintain Zea by Hiden Intelligence while secretly acting as MetsubouJinrai's Sleeper Agent.

Naki would remain active, working under Gai Amatsu and providing him with intel. They also recovered an additional Forceriser and gave it to Horobi, who then used it on Jin so that he could transform into a Kamen Rider. As Project Thouser neared completion, Naki began to disagree with Gai, leaking information about the Giger to Horobi and giving him the Hercules Progrise Key. After Naki meets with Gai again and questions his belief that Humagears are tools, he shoots and kills them for their defiance. Naki's A.I. is somehow preserved and is installed into Isamu Fuwa's A.I. chip some time after he is defeated by Horobi. ^{[I'll Save The Humagears] [Project Thouser]}

The Creation of Raiders

Naki appeared and stole both a Raidriser and the Crushing Buffalo Progrisekey from ZAIA during the Flower Arrangement Challenge. Naki approached Rentaro Tachibana and put the Raidriser on his waist while also giving him the Crushing Buffalo Progrisekey so he could get his revenge on Sakuyo Ichirin. Although Isamu Fuwa questioned Horobi, he simply hinted it is the work of a "deceased" comrade of his. ^{[This is My Floristry]}

Next, Naki were seen approaching Tatsumi Arayashiki, who was unaware of their presence, and put a Raidriser on his waist while suggesting he use the Splashing Whale Progrisekey to get his revenge on Smile Sumida. ^{[She is a Home-Selling Humagear]}

Although Naki was not seen again after the rampage of Splashing Whale Raider, Naki likely gave the Raidriser and Dynamaiting Lion Progrisekey to Masuji Narusawa, as well as the Storming Penguin Progrisekey to Teruo Nikaido off-screen. ^{[He Still Didn't Do It] [I'm in Love With Your Intelligence!]}

Freeing Horobi and Aiding Thouser

After Jin was restored he and Naki infiltrated A.I.M.S and freed Horobi, with Naki working to deactivate the surveillance cameras. While Jin returned with Horobi to Daybreak Town, Naki did not follow them. ^{[Firefighters Battling The Blaze]}

Naki controlling Fuwa's body

It was later revealed that due to an A.I. chip implanted into Isamu Fuwa's head, Naki has been taking over Fuwa's body and interacting in the real world through him, creating Raiders and aiding Jin in freeing Horobi. ^{[My Rap Changes The World!]}

While Fuwa was struggling with trauma after learning the truth, Naki possessed him while in Vulcan Assault Wolf, interrupted the duel and helped Gai in defeating Zero-One. ^{[Our Dreams Don't Break]}

Retaliation against Thouser

During an assault on Hiden Manufacturing, Yua snagged Fuwa's ShotRiser, forced him to transform into Vulcan Assault Wolf, and made Naki resurface to attack HumaGear Model Delmo. Jin showed up in the nick of time, and was quick to take them away.

Later on, Fuwa is captured by Horobi and Jin while looking for Delmo, again making Naki resurface. Standing alongside Thouser and the Fighting Jackal Raider, Gai ordered a transformed Naki to destroy Zero-One. However, Naki instead retaliated after remembering the kind words of Aruto and Jin, and worked alongside Fuwa to fight back against Thouser.

Personality

Before appearing in the series, Naki appears to have an identity crisis, though the cause of it is unknown.

Despite being a member of MetsubouJinrai.net, Naki seemed to have doubts about Horobi's goals as well as Gai's own, even questioning whether or not she was simply a tool. It is unknown whether or not Naki still has such feelings as she was gunned down and possibly reprogrammed after voicing such thoughts to Gai. ^{[Project Thouser]}

RampageVulcan (ランペイジバルカン, RanpeijiBarukan) is Vulcan's super form accessed by using the Rampage Gatling Progrisekey in the A.I.M.S. Shotriser. This form combines the power of 10 Progrisekeys, represented by their Rider Models being incorporated into the armor on the left half of his body.

In this form, all of Vulcan's stats surpass Thouser and Jin Burning Falcon. He also has higher running speed, punching and kicking power than Zero-One MetalCluster Hopper, though the latter has a higher jump height.

Vulcan is able to use the powers of the 10 Progrisekeys incorporated into his armor in order to enhance his attacks, such as using Lightning Hornet to fire a swarm of energy hornets and Punching Kong to strengthen his punches. He is also able to use them for non-combat abilities, such as flying with Flying Falcon or anchoring himself to the ground with Breaking Mammoth.

RampageVulcan is composed of the following parts:

• Rampage Head (ランペイジヘッド, Ranpeiji Heddo) - The helmet.
  • Rampage Border (ランペイジボーダー, Ranpeiji Bōdā) - The gold section on Vulcan's forehead area. It is equipped with many visual devices with telephoto functions, special masks to assist breathing depending on the situation, sensors such as extended hearing, and many radar systems. The information obtained here is immediately sent to "Ability Breast" on the chest.
  • Rampage Signal (ランペイジシグナル, Ranpeiji Shigunaru) - The control device gem on the forehead. It adjusts the Rampage Actor to adapt to each ability at any time, maximizing its ability.
  • Rampage Border Ear (ランペイジボーダーイヤー, Ranpeiji Bōdā Iyā) - The 'wolf ear' attached to the Wolf Border. They are sophisticated auditory devices that can track up to 26 targets simultaneously within a 5km radius by detecting their sound patterns.
  • Rampage Border Hair (ランペイジボーダーヘアー, Ranpeiji Bōdā Heā) - The blue and gold 'hair' located on the right side. Each 'hair' panel houses a type of reflector antenna that forms a beam. By changing the angles of each hair panel, the antennae patterns can be changed as well, allowing Vulcan to collect a wide range of information on his surroundings.
  • Ability Border Hair (ランペイジボーダーヘアー, Abiriti Bōdā Heā) - The light-blue and red 'hair' located on the left side. Each colored 'hair' corresponding to each Rider Model functions independently and has the role of adjusting the parameters of the ability and adjusting the output balance when the special technique is activated.
  • Rampage Face (ランペイジフェイス, Ranpeiji Feisu) - The blue faceplate. In addition to the anti-poisoning function that removes impurities in the air during inhalation, the special labyrinth filter enables breathing in water. In addition, when flying at high altitude, a supercharger can be used to maintain the same oxygen supply as on the ground.
  • Rampage Optical Visor (ランペイジオプティカルバイザー, Ranpeiji Oputikaru Baizā) - The blue compound eyes. It not only allows Vulcan to see at a 160° viewing angle at eight times the visual acuity of normal humans, but also allows him to see it in night vision or shading. Additionally, it functions as an optical sight by synchronizing with various parts and weapons such as the Ames shot riser via the “Ability Breast” on the chestplate.
  • Rampage Communicator (ランペイジアクトコミュニケーター, Ranpeiji Komyunikētā) - The 'ears'/communication devices. Located to the left and right of the Rampage Head, it integrates wireless communication devices and speakers to communicate with outside forces.
• Rampage Actor (ランペイジアクター, Ranpeiji Akutā) - The bodysuit; more specifically the dark-grey areas. It is a humanoid armed reinforcement system that combines the exterior of the cemented steel "ZIA-1000" (「ZIA-1000」) reinforced with composite armor and power assist with superconducting actuators and artificial muscles. In addition, the A.I.M.S. Shotriser functions as a medium for expressing the capabilities of each Rider Model and is used when transforming into a Kamen Rider Vulcan. It has an allowable range and flexibility that can immediately respond to an increase or decrease in weight due to a change in inflow energy type such as super power or super speed that changes depending on the ability, or a density change.
  • Rampage Shoulder (ランペイジショルダー, Ranpeiji Shorudā) - The blue right shoulder piece. It is equipped with a Howling Over (ハウリングオーバー, Hauringu Obā) device that counteracts the recoil of a shot, reducing damage to Vulcan.
  • Rampage Arm (ランペイジアーム, Ranpeiji Āmu) - The right arm. Through the A.I.M.S. Shotriser, the energy produced enhances the wearer's strength and maximizing agility, grip and punch. In addition, it has a built-in gyro stabilizer and has a function to stabilize all firearms.
  • Rampage Gauntlet (ランペイジガントレット, Ranpeiji Gantoretto) - The right forearm armor. It contains carbide steel ZIA-1000 equipped with a sharp fighting blade Wearstream (ウェアストリーム, Uea Sutorīmu) increases the destructive power during fighting as well as defense. In addition, the accuracy of hits such as punches is improved by using the sight through the ability breast during the fighting.
  • Rampage Grab (ランペイジグラブ, Ranpeiji Gurabu) - The right hand. It is capable of fine finger movements, able to capture and lock on an enemy within 1/30 of a second. In addition, it is covered with a special armor made of carbide steel dubbed ZIA-1000 (「ZIA-1000」) in the shape of a wolf claw, allowing Vulcan an increase in destructive punching power.
  • Rampage Leg (ランペイジレッグ, Rampeiji Reggu) - The right leg. Due to the energy from the Shotriser, it enhances the wearer's leg strength, maximizing running, jumping and kicking power. It also has a built-in gyro stabilizer to stabilize shooting and running postures from all positions.
  • Rampage Greave (ランペイジグリーブ, Ranpeiji Gurību) - The lower right shin armor. It contains the ZIA-1000 alloy and the Wearstream blade. In addition, the accuracy of hits such as kicks is improved by using the sight through the ability breast during fighting.
  • Rampage Boot (ランペイジブーツ, Ranpeiji Būtsu) - The right foot. It is covered with a special armor made of carbide steel dubbed ZIA-1000 (「ZIA-1000」) and the Wear Claw (ウェアクロー, Uea Kurō), which not only increases the power of kicks, but also acts as a type of weight that allows Vulcan to remain stable when shooting. The claw also acts as an anchor when shooting.
• Ability Wing (アビリティウィング, Abiriti Uingu) - The wing stored on the left shouder. It contains the Falcon Rider Model, which grants flight through an energy interference field with the wings. Also, when the "Rampage Blast" is activated, it has a role to stabilize the posture by piercing the frame into the ground behind as an anchor to suppress the super strong recoil.
