Rakia Amarga (ラキア・アマルガ, Rakia Amaruga) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider Vram: Route Stomach. He is a Granute part-timer under the codename Granute Lage Nine (グラニュート・ラーゲ9, Guranyūto Rāge Nain) who transforms into Kamen Rider Vram (仮面ライダーヴラム, Kamen Raidā Vuramu).
History[]
This version of Rakia, set in an alternate possibility by Nyelv, follows the timeline up to Nyelv learning of his true mission. After receiving coffee jelly by Suga, Nyelv tells Rakia, still known as LaageNine, of Shoma being Comel’s killer, and sends an agent to deliver the Purujelly Noir Gochizo. As he gets Glotta to help him confront Shoma, he sees the slash mark from Glotta’s scythe, and realizes she was his brother’s killer. He then transforms into Vram, but gets defeated and his Doppudding Gochizo is destroyed. However, he transforms into Jelly Noir. He fights Glotta, and kills her, but is struck by in the back by her scythe. Injured , he is approached by Nyelv who tells him his plans are ruined thanks to him. He then says he can treat him if he’ll kill Shoma. He tells him no, and is then executed.
Personality[]
Overall, Rakia's personality is similar as the main timeline Rakia when he was first introduced as Lage Nine. Rakia is still shown to be two-faced, as his main personality is shown when Nyelv did some research background about him, and seems to be triggered when Nyelv mentioned his younger brother and want to assist him on his goal for revenge by killing shoma.
Rakia seems to not be able to trust the Stomach Family, that he decided to do his own investigation by asking one of the part-time worker. After the part-time worker warned him about Glotta's execution and Shoma wanting to assist him in finding the killer, Rakia is confused on who should he believe.
Finally, Rakia decided to bring Glotta to the meeting place agreed by him and Shoma. Not joining the battle, Rakia observes the battle to find any mark that is similar to Comel's wound. It is until when Glotta slashes the ceiling that he finally found the killer, and goes in rage to take revenge on Glotta, furiously attacking her until she can't absorb his attack.
Finished with his main goal of killing Comel's killer, Rakia went so far to not even accept Nyelv's aid. Saying that he won't be obedient to people like him and marking him with his own blood, before being summarily executed by Nyelv.

Pudding Custom (プリンカスタム, Purin Kasutamu) is Vram's caramel pudding-based primary form accessed by using the Doppudding Gochizo in the Vrastumgear. Its sound effect is a caramel-and-yellow pudding-styled "Purun" (ぷるん), an onomatopoeia used for soft, jellylike things and jiggling.
Vram's stats exceed those of Gavv and Valen's standard forms. Rakia's original Granute abilities are enhanced as Vram, allowing him to incorporate tentacles with his attacks. Additionally, the impacts of each of his kicks distribute shockwaves to the target. He is shown to be highly dexterous in combat, including having the capability to redirect close-range attacks back at the attacker with ease.
Pudding Custom consists of the following parts:
- Rameltex Top (ラメルテクストップ, Ramerutekusu Toppu): The head.
- Sertpoon (ザートプーン, Zātopūn): The communication device. It transmits operation log data in real time.
- Meltinger (メルティンガー, Merutingā): The front of the head. The biological tissue generated by using Doppudding Gochizo makes repairs by quickly permeating damaged areas.
- Stard Eye (スタードアイ, Sutādo Ai): The eyes. The transformation enhances the person's eyesight, especially their ability to see dynamic movements.
- Caranal (カラナル, Karanaru): The recording organ. It manages the recording of operation log data.

- Vranbady (ヴランバディ, Vuranbadi): The body. The transformer's body boasts outstanding physical abilities, and by adding the characteristics of Gochizo, Vram can transform and change in various ways, exhibiting a variety of abilities.
- Puddistum Jacket (プディスタムジャケット, Pudisutamu Jaketto): The chest. The biological tissue generated by using Doppudding Gochizo is extremely flexible, but hardens upon receiving heat or impacts, allowing for a mixture of hard and soft defenses. It has the function of transmitting the impacts it receives to the limbs.
- Pudditex Arm (プディテクスアーム, Puditekusu Āmu): The arms. The transformation enhances the original abilities of the person transformed, greatly increasing their combat abilities. They can also release the impacts transmitted from the chest to the outside.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Rakia Amarga is portrayed by Kohei Shoji (庄司 浩平, Shōji Kōhei).
- In his Granute form and as Kamen Rider Vram, his primary suit actor is Eitoku (永徳), who previously suit-acted as Kamen Rider Gotchard.
Etymology[]
- The code name Lage Nine is an anagram of the Japanese word for jellyfish (クラゲ, kurage), with "ku" moved to the end of the word, then "ra" is given a chōonpu. "Ku" is replaced with the number 9, as it can be pronounced the same way in the Go-on reading of "9" (九, Ku).
- Vram's name is derived from shortening the word "frustum
" (フラスタム, Furasutamu), a type of shape. This references pudding and jelly containers that are often shaped into a conical frustum. The kana fu (フ) is replaced with vu (ヴ), which is also found in the names of Gavv and Valen.[4] - Rakia's surname, Amarga, is derived from the Spanish and Portuguese word for "bitter".[5]
- The "Noir" in Jelly Custom Noir is derived from the French word for "black".

Notes[]
- Jelly Custom Noir, as it's name implies, is a recolor of the original Jelly Custom, but with the pink replaced with various shades of silver, grey, black, and dark reddish-brown.
