- ―Zukyumpire's Tic Words[src]
Zukyumpire (ズキュンパイア, Zukyunpaia) is an Occult Chemy based on a vampire.
History[]
Zukyumpire was one of 101 Chemies that were sealed into Ride Chemy Cards.
Kamen Rider Gotchard[]
Zukyumpire's card was left in the Ouroboros Realm while Hopper1 and Steamliner were sent by Fuga to find the person chosen by fate. Zukyumpire was eventually unsealed from its Ride Chemy Card and was now on the loose. [Gotcha! Hopper1!]
Zukyumpire would wander aimlessly for some time before gaining a human form upon encountering Yua Yamashita, consoling her after learning she was dumped by her ex-boyfriend, proclaiming she deserved happiness. Yua would also inspire Zukyumpire that it could make everyone in the world happy and would later amass itself a numerous amount of followers who are devoted to it and its cause, some of these followers include Renge & Kajiki. Zukyumpire soon realized his methods are wrong and started to get stressed and Clotho used that negative emotion to get Zukyumpire to evolve into the Ultimate Chemy to get her even stronger. But Zukyumpire breaks free and lends Houtaro his powers to defeat the Mantis Saber Malgam. Zukyumpire then joins Houtaro and says goodbye to Yua before her memory gets wiped.
In an unknown time, Zukyumpire created an Anti-Brainwashing Zukyun Shield on Renge and Sabimaru.
Zukyumpire along with the other Chemies are captured again by Glion when the Pteranodon Malgam used his abilities to send the Chemy Cards through the portals.
Zukyumpire was used against his will, when Glion finally started the plan to open the Door of Darkness. He later returned to Houtaro after Geyron's defeat.
Other Events[]
The Future Daybreak[]
Renge summoned him for assistance which possessed her to mind control a Dread Type Two which later turns on the other Dreatroopers. He later took Machwheel and Daiohni from the Valvaradriver along with UFO-X to the alternate future, which he along with all the Normal and Daybreak Chemies deflect Dark Kings Attack and went to citizens to cheer.
Personality[]
Zukyumpire is a vampire-like Chemy, aiming at the hearts of those who see it. Zukyumpire thinks that it has a great mission to spread its love worldwide, thanks to its first meeting with Yua Yamashita, and as such, it will do anything necessary for the said goal, even if Zukyumpire had to siphon the energy of its followers (albeit unknowingly).
Aside of its nature, Zukyumpire is a compassionate Chemy towards its followers. This is shown when Zukyumpire calmed its jealous followers after greeting Renge, and shows concern as one of its followers becomes sick due to its energy-siphoning trait. Once Zukyumpire learned about its energy-siphoning nature, Zukyumpire is temporarily in disbelief, until Houtaro reminded the Chemy that it's intention are pure nevertheless.
