Touka Akatsuki (朱月 藤果, Akatsuki Tōka) is the main antagonist of Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu. She was a servant of the Kureshima family and a childhood friend of Takatora Kureshima who transformed into Kamen Rider Idunn (仮面ライダーイドゥン, Kamen Raidā Idun).

Biography[]

Touka Akatsuki (Teen)

Touka as a maid.

Touka was among the list of children in Zawame Children's Nursery where they were part of a lethal experiment led by Amagi Kureshima that allowed them to control Helheim at will. In her teenage years, she was hired by the Kureshimas as a maid servant. She became close friends with Takatora during her time as a maid/servant, which she baked an apple pie for her close friend. Years later, Touka reunites with Takatora and she spends her time with the Kureshima brothers for a short while, however, she tells the Kureshima brothers that their father had passed away. Unknown to them, she gained a Sengoku Driver and a Ringo Lockseed to become Kamen Rider Idunn. She reveals that she is the one responsible for the murder of Amagi Kureshima and later she would attempt to murder the Kureshima brothers and destroy Yggdrasill facilities along with it, as an act of revenge for turning her into a guinea pig. However, she never realized about her time with Takatora and Mitsuzane, of them treating her kindly as a human being, and seeing her like a sister to them.

As Idunn, she is responsible for the attacks on the Kurokage Troopers, Sid and almost attacked Yoko. She uses the ability to control the flow of the Cracks due to the Ringo Lockseed's effect.

When she's about to attack Mitsuzane, Takatora shows up as he tries to transform into Zangetsu-Shin, but she quickly steals the Melon Energy Lockseed and runs away.

Touka's end

After Takatora unmasks her in an abandoned child care facility, Takatora realizes the truth about his father's past and Touka's treachery as she transforms into Idunn to clash against Takatora, who transforms into Zangetsu Watermelon Arms. After she's being shot, Takatora regains his Melon Energy Lockseed to transform into Zangetsu-Shin so that he can defeat her.

After she is weakened by Takatora, she is somehow spared by Takatora, due to treating her like a human and family in the past, other than just a slave. While retreating back to where her identity was discovered by Takatora, she doesn't understand, even he's a Kureshima, why he spared her. At same time when she was about to be turned into an Inves, due to the Ringo Lockseed's effect, she is confronted by Kamen Rider Duke who revealed to her that he was also a slave within the Nursery, and killed her, then subsequently takes the Forbidden Ringo Lockseed from her dead body.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

While temporarily in the possession of Forbidden Ringo Lockseed, Touka had these following abilities, following her mutation into Inves.

  • Crack Creation: Touka can create Cracks freely as means of transportation or sneak attacks. The location of the Crack she creates sometime emits Helheim floras.
  • Helheim Plant Manipulation: Touka can manipulate Helheim plant vines freely but never used it as means of attacking her targets.

Abilities[]

  • Expert Combatant: Touka is highly trained in hand-to-hand combatant, able to fight on par with Yoko and Takatora; both of whom are expert combatants in their own right
  • Skilled Acrobat: To be added

Arms[]

Like with the other Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Idunn's forms are called Arms (アームズ, Āmuzu). Her Sengoku Driver plays European trumpet music and announces "Come On" (カモン, Kamon) before every transformation, while her personal Lockseeds are styled in pure English that is sung in a chorus-like manner.

By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Idunn can activate one of three finishing moves based on her current Arms form: Squash (スカッシュ, Sukasshu), Au Lait (オーレ, Ōre), or Sparking (スパーキング, Supākingu).

KRGa-Idunn Ride Wear

Ride Wear

The Ride Wear (ライドウェア, Raido Uēa) is Idunn's default form undersuit which is briefly seen during Idunn's transformation sequence, before the Armor Part attaches or when she changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit, rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.

The Ride Wear that Idunn's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through the Rider Indicator. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions.

Ringo Arms (リンゴアームズ, Ringo Āmuzu, lit. "Apple Arms") is Idunn's apple-based default form that is accessed through the Forbidden Ringo Lockseed[2].

While assuming Ringo Arms, Idunn dons the Ringo Armor Part (リンゴアーマーパート, Āmā Pāto, lit. "Apple Armor Part") and her Arms Weapons are the Sword Bringer and Apple Reflecter.

As Idunn, Touka was able to fight off against the Kurokage Troopers and even had the advantage against Zangetsu Watermelon Arms. However, this form is still inferior to that of a Genesis Armored Rider and Touka was quickly defeated by Zangetsu Shin.

After Touka's death at the hands of Ryoma Sengoku, the Forbidden Ringo Lockseed was given to Kaito Kumon who promptly destroyed it after his battle against the Tyrant Over Lord.

This form's finisher is an unnamed Rider Slash: Idunn activates the Squash function on her Sengoku Driver and unleashes a powerful slash with the Sword Bringer.

This form is exclusive to Gaim Gaiden: Kamen Rider Zangetsu
