Ryo Murasame (Spirits)

Spirits

This article is about a Rider in Kamen Rider Spirits.

"If you are unable to atone yourself, then you just have to keep on fighting!"

―Dr. Kaido to ZX^[src]

Ryo Murasame (村雨良, Murasame Ryō) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider Spirits. He was brainwashed and forcibly converted into a cyborg by the Badan Empire, before regaining his memories and escaping, thus becoming Kamen Rider ZX (仮面ライダーZX（ゼクロス）, Kamen Raidā Zekurosu, lit. "Masked Rider Z Cross").

History[]

Murasame was an evil rider of the Badan Empire. Having his memory erased by Badan, Murasame becomes emotionless and fights against the 9 Kamen Riders and humanity. When Murasame regains his memory and realizes that his sister Shizuka was killed by Badan, he turns against them and eventually joining forces with other riders to destroy Badan and its evil leader Judo. However, he refuses the title of Kamen Rider initially, later he starts to call himself Kamen Rider ZX, although not considering himself official yet.

ZX has the most cybernetic body out of any Kamen Rider created thus far. He is the Perfect Cyborg (パーフェクトサイボーグ, Pāfekuto Saibōgu) as Badan mechanized 99% of Ryo’s whole body.

The Kamen Rider Spirits gives a different interpretation of ZX's power. In it, ZX also has a katana, instant regeneration, smoke bombs, and a Virtual Image Projection Unit in his belt buckle to create illusionary copies of him. Much later, the Virtual Image Projection Unit became canon in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen.

Also known as Ninja Rider (忍者ライダー, Ninja Raidā)^[6] (some sources describe him as the Mechanic Ninja (メカニック忍者, Mekanikku Ninja).^[7]), ZX's body is equipped with a large number of offensive weapons, alongside thousands of servomotors for greater strength. Furthermore, his power source is a next-generation fusion reactor, allowing him to outmuscle Riderman and Super-1 at the same time.

His finishing attack is a Rider Kick called the ZX Kick (ZX (ゼクロス) キック, Zekurosu Kikku), in which ZX's body glows red before delivering a devastating kick. Interestingly, it does not always cause the target to explode like other Rider Kick finishers.
