This article is about a villain in Kamen Rider Drive. |
Roidmude 006 (ロイミュード006, Roimyūdo Zero Zero Roku), originally a Plain Cobra Type (コブラ型, Kobura-gata) combatman, was one of the first Roidmudes to attack during the Global Freeze.
He had later achieved evolution into an Advanced Roidmude, boasting that his Evolved State was on par with Heart. A year following the Global Freeze, 006 returned to Japan and ultimately confronted Roidmude creator Tenjuro Banno in an attempt to recapture him, a task which 006 was certain would bring him to achieve Over Evolved. However, he was killed by the scientist just short of revealing his Evolved State.

History[]
Background[]
Roidmude 006 was among the first nine Roidmudes that gather in Heart's hideout. After the Global Freeze is initiated, he was among the armada to march into the inner Tokyo during their rampage. However, he was stopped by the Shift Funky Spike and was temporarily destroyed when the Shift Car blasted a hole into 006's body. Eventually, his body was restored to normal by Medic.
For the next several months following the Global Freeze, 006 assumed the human guise of a mafia boss. While he manages to evolve into an Advanced Roidmude, 006 kept his new name and Evolved State hidden by his fellow brethren until he is ready to properly reveal himself to the others.
Return to Japan[]
Roidmude 006 returned to Japan with his bodyguards, 062 and 036 after over a year and reunites with Roidmude 008. After being welcomed back by Heart, he noted that they had not revealed their Evolved States yet, but brief them on the Roidmudes' current priorities to defeat the Kamen Riders, retrieving the tablet containing Tenjuro Banno's consiousness, and gather enough Roidmudes to acchieve the Over Evolved state as a means to reach the Promised Number. Before leaving, 006 gave a warning to Heart about keeping an eye out on those close to him as he shares to him information regarding 068's sudden combustion.
He emarked on the mission to apprehend Banno's tablet by sending his bodyguards after Go Shijima and Chase. Following Tornado's demise, 006 had expressed to Brain and Medic his desire to evolve into the Over Evolved state after Heart, leaving only one left to attain it soon.
Death[]
- "Behold...my Over Evolved..."
- ―006's last words before his death.[src]
Roidmude 006 was dispatched to deal with Banno, having taken on the form of an evil Drive Driver. He arrived along with a platoon of lower Roidmudes to corner Banno, but the mad scientist swiftly eliminates his forces. 006 attempted to transform into his advanced form, remarking how it was in the same level as Heart's, but was killed in the process and his core being extracted out of his Roidmude body. The Roidmude body that once occupied by 006 was later used by Tenjuro Banno to transform into Gold Drive.
Post-mortem[]
Sometime later when Banno's plan to create the second Global Freeze was put into motion, the deceased 006's husk was ultimately destroyed as it exploded when Gold Drive was finally defeated by Kamen Rider Chaser Mach.
The 108 Roidmudes' fragmented data would lead to the emergence of the amalgamation Roidmude 5886.
Forms[]
The Core is the basic essence or 'soul' of the Roidmude. 006's Core survived his first body's destruction at the hands of the Shift Cars during the Global Freeze. [Why Did My Time Stop?] [Type ZERO Episode 0: Countdown to Global Freeze] A year later, his Core was forcefully removed and subsequently terminated by Tenjuro Banno in the form of the Drive Driver, who preserved the Roidmude body so as to possess it and become Kamen Rider Gold Drive.
