And we’re back with the UIK. This time, we’ve got one guy for you.

Evolution Tarantula

The wisest one of the Undead. Shima is different from other Royal Club Undeads as he has a good heart and loves humanity. He is also a friend of Kei Karasuma, whom he met in Tibet, who entrusted the Rouse Absorber to him and sent him to oversee Blade and Garren and does his best to stay in human form unless necessary. He has a yellow canary bird named Natural.

King-class Undead are more advanced counterparts to their Aces (eg Tarantula is the more advanced version of Spider) just to get that off the chest. When used with the Rider System, they can boost its power to its limits.

And now to go off topic and do an unscheduled “big” post. You might not be noticed it, but there’s a new VA behind the Rouse Absorber. For clarity, the buckles and rousers so far have been voiced by Takeshi Sasaki (no, not the guy who played Rider Nigou)



While the Rouse Absorber (and any future new gear for the characters) is voiced by Fumihiko Takahashi (Whom you may recognise as the narrator from Kuuga and W)



While bringing in second actors for different gear in Tokusatsu isn’t anything strange (you’ve seen it in a lot of phase two shows), this is one of two times that it’s been a straight up replacement, as opposed to a second actor being brought in. For the other time, compare Go-Busters’ basic transformation item

With their final (and only, since it was mostly the result of executive shake ups behind the scene) upgrade.

In both cases, I have no idea why they changed the voice.
