At some point of time, Roidmude 050 requires the Neo Viral Core created by Roidmude 001. Later, he comes across a perfect candidate, Reiko Nishihori, the daughter of the Copycat Pirate Koya Nishihori whom wanted revenge on the Kamen Riders for imprisoning her father. She as well receive the ability to induce madness on humans by Roidmude 001.
Using housing areas that related to the Townless Company, he induce madness on the newcomers of the housing areas to amplify their darkness so they can be used for other Roidmudes to achieve Fusion Evolution State, but seeing none of them were perfect candidates, he left them comatose. In another housing area where Genpachiro, Rinna and Shinnosuke infiltrated along, he once again made the newly arrived neighbours descent into madness and once again render them comatose. His actions were witnessed by Go, whom as Mach proceed to attack him in all his might, only for Seeker to call his subordinates, 078 and 082 to assist him. With the help of Ride Booster Set and Chaser, the two Low Class Roidmudes destroyed but an enraged Mach tried to kill Chaser as Seeker leaves, having planned all of the events.

Later, after Seeker induces madness on an apartment residential area, Go rushed to destroy any Neo-Viral Cores that come in contact with the crazed victims, but after his job was done, Reiko and Seeker revealed their plan while also revealing that Go was among the crazed victims as well, evidenced by the eyeball tattoo on his palm. Under the rage effect, Go/Deadheat Mach furiously attacked Seeker until Chaser tried to stop him from his rage that would ended up killing "Yoriko", but eventually gets himself retaliated by Mach until Drive comes in and knocks Mach. Enraged by Drive's interference, Seeker tried to attack him, but overpowered by Type Formula and got separated, splitting into "Yoriko" and 050. In the end, Drive Type Formula Mantarn finishes 050 with Trailer Impact. [Why Were the Families Targeted?]

Notes[]
The Gunman Roidmude
- Seeker Roidmude's costume is a modified version of the Gunman Roidmude's costume.
- Like Gunman, he is the second Roidmude onscreen to not evolve into an inanimate object-themed Advanced Roidmude form, this time with a Neo Viral Core.
- Seeker's Yokai motif, namely Mokumokuren, evokes Drive's second and last Super Hero Time partner show, which Seeker's episodes aired alongside, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger
, in which the Yokai serve as villains. Seeker is infact the second Roidmude with a Yokai motif following Shocker Buruburu which previously appeared in the Ninninger vs. Drive special.
- Coincidentally, Seeker wields a wand as his weapon, while the Yokai enemy of the Ninninger episode that Seeker's first episode aired alongside, Ittan-momen, was a magician.
- The Mokumokuren motif would later appear in Ninninger proper following the conclusion of Drive's run and hand-over to Kamen Rider Ghost.
- Coincidentally, Seeker wields a wand as his weapon, while the Yokai enemy of the Ninninger episode
