Shoma (ショウマ, Shōma) is a human-Granute hybrid and former member of the Stomach Family who turned against them after they killed his human mother Michiru, including Hanto's mother Sae, when he discovered the truth behind his family's conspiracy.

However, there are certain subspecies who can be used more than once, such as the immortal Caking and Puddinte.[13][35] Nyelv later creates his own cup-shaped artificial Gochizo for Kamen Rider Vram's use, as well as mass-produced mechanical Gochizo to carry out Booca's plans of conquering the human world.[30][34][44]

Kamen Rider Bitter Gavv

Kamen Rider Bitter Gavv (仮面ライダービターガヴ, Kamen Raidā Bitā Gavu) is a moniker of evil Riders who gain similar abilities as Shoma, such as utilizing a Gochizo in conjunction with a belt-like Bitter Gavv (ビターガヴ, Bitā Gavu)[b] organ, also known as the "Black Gavv" (黒ガヴ, Kuro Gavu), attached to their abdomen to transform. While transformed, they wield the serrated Bitter Gavvgablade (ビターガヴガブレイド, Bitā Gavugabureido) sword, which allows them to absorb up to three Gochizo and harness their abilities at once to perform special attacks.[51][52] Their personal vehicle is the Vrocan Buggy Spicy (ブルキャンバギースパイシー, Burukyan Bagī Supaishī) ATV, which is summoned from the Vrocan Spicy Gochizo and can be reconfigured into the double-barreled Vrocan Gatling Spicy (ブルキャンガトリングスパイシー, Burukyan Gatoringu Supaishī) rotary cannon.[29][15] After the Dark Shoma's death and Suga's disappearance, future users of the Bitter Gavv inherit the latter's Bake Magnum as a secondary weapon.[27][49]

Each Kamen Rider Bitter Gavv utilizes a different Gochizo to assume their Rider form, which are as follows:

He appears to harbor a dark past relating to a baby, who was presumably his son, with the boy's death being the reason he became a nihilistic mad scientist.[26] Following Shoma's appearance as Kamen Rider Gavv, Suga took one of the former's Chocodon Gochizo and used their sample to create the Valen Buster. After Hanto loses his mentor Shioya at the hands of Otake, Suga accepts Hanto's request to transform the latter into a Kamen Rider by surgically implanting the Granute organ into him.[22] In reality, he was involved in orchestrating Shioya's death, having used Hanto as his current test subject for his own end, just like he did to his previous test subjects around 20 years ago. By the time his true intentions have been exposed, Suga gains the ability to transform into Kamen Rider Bake (仮面ライダーベイク, Kamen Raidā Beiku).[54] Following his defeat at the hands of Kamen Rider Valen, a severely injured Suga entrusts Nyelv to continue his work.[26] Suga is kept alive by Nyelv and later used as an experimental subject for the latter's transplant of some parts of a Granute corpse the latter received from Bocca and a Bitter Gavv. As a result of his death during the transplant surgery, he is resurrected as a mindless zombie human-Granute hybrid with his own Bitter Gavv and hypnosis capabilities via the Bake Magnum by Nyelv, only to be put out of his misery by Kamen Rider Vram, who also destroys the Bake Magnum.[50][45]

Utilizing the Breacookie Gochizo in conjunction with the Bake Magnum (ベイクマグナム, Beiku Magunamu) firearm, Suga can transform into Kamen Rider Bake Breacookie Form.
