"Their language is interesting."

―Redyue after studying Japanese language from Kaito's dictionary.^[src]

Redyue (レデュエ, Redeyue) is a Green Overlord Inves who is responsible for countless murders of the old civilization in the Helheim Forest, and has targeted Japan next.

History

Kota meets Redyue.

DJ Sagara, as a hologram approached the Overlords as she somehow knew their language. Later, when Gaim enters the ruins to search for the Overlords, they approach to her as Redyue speaks her language to Gaim, while Deemushu fought the Armored Rider as Gaim tries to talk with them before they retreat. ^{[The New Formidable Enemy: Overlord]}

As Deemushu was wounded by Baron's attack, Redyue told the Overlord to retreat telepathically. ^{[Baron's Genesis Transformation!]}

Abilities

Though not much is known, but so far Redyue possessed the ability to emit powerful sonic waves which inflicts tremendous pain at the target, using the kinetic backlash of the wave's force or affecting their hearing, making it even worse for Gaim when donning the Jimber Peach Arms since it grants her superhuman hearing.

Personality

Unlike Deemushu, Redyue is more calm and calculative. She also rarely picks a fight and chooses to attack enemies passively. As shown, she lets Deemushu fight Kota, while she herself just only assaults Kota with his sonic waves. She also likes to learn new languages, like when she learned Japanese. However, Redyue also has a very dark personality. She likes any type of entertainment and will do nothing when she sees a form of entertainment. As shown, she just did nothing when Kota was beaten up by Deemushu. She viewed Kota as a "toy" sent for their amusement and although she spared him, Redyue just wanted to see Kota entertain them more the next time they meet.

Appearance

• Kamen Rider Gaim

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Redyue is voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda (津田 健次郎, Tsuda Kenjirou), who previously voiced the Oct Imagin in Kamen Rider Den-O.

Ethymology

The origin of her name ‘’レデュエ‘’ might be coming from " ひすい", means "Emerald" in Japanese. This is shadowing that all of her kind, which are Green Inves, resemble jade statues.

Notes

Language

Redyue studying Japanese from a dictionary

Redyue and the other Overlords seemingly has its own language. This is similar to the Gurongi Language from Kamen Rider Kuuga, the Undead from Blade and Fangire from Kiva, in which an enemy faction has its own language that the Japanese do not understand. As with the Gurongi, Japanese subtitles aren't provided for Redyue's speech, it is unknown if they will be provided in a later release such as a TV rerun or DVD release. But later, Redyue learned and spoke Japanese by herself just like the Gurongis, despite her lacking proper grammar in her speech.

Trivia

• She is the third General type Kaijin to have an opposite gendered voice actor, other being Kamen Rider Fourze's Scorpio & Virgo Horoscope type Zodiarts.
