Rakia Amarga, also known as Granute Lage Nine is a major character in Kamen Rider Gavv. Rakia is a Granute who works as a part-timer for Stomach Inc. and later transforms into Kamen Rider Vram.
He is portrayed by Kohei Shoji, who is known for portraying the heroic Takamichi Crystaria/Kiramai Silver in Mashin Sentai Kiramager.
History[]
Background[]
Rakia Amarga, a Granute with a jellyfish motif, lost his little sibling due to an incident involving Dark Snacks. His long-standing animosity at the Stomach Family, the main antagonists of the series, who are in charge of making and selling these irresistible treats by harvesting the happiness of humans, is fueled by this personal tragedy. Rakia takes on the code identity "Lage Nine" and enters Stomach Inc. as a part-time employee to destroy the firm from the inside and seek his brother's murderer.
Transformation into Kamen Rider Vram[]
Nyelv Stomach, a senior member of Stomach Inc., helped Rakia turn into Kamen Rider Vram. Rakia received the Vrastumgear, a specialist transforming tool, from Nyelv. By integrating the Vrastumgear with his gavv, a special organ that Granutes possesses, Rakia could transform into Kamen Rider Vram. By putting a Gochizo—more precisely, the Doppudding—onto the Vrastumgear, a series of events began that resulted in his new shape by enveloping him in organic tissue.
Personality[]
Overall, Rakia is a complex individual. Initially, he appears as a true addict to Dark Snacks, who would do anything to get hands on it. The truth, however is that he shows no interests in them, throwing the box containing them away as an instance. He despises the Dark Snacks and its creators which is the Stomach Inc. for what it has done to his little brother.
In the past, Rakia is a somewhat a lighthearted person though poor, showed genuine cares for his only family member, Comel and also took pride for Comel's kindness and humility towards everyone. Rakia also showed to be very hard-working as he is the main and only worker in the family, being able to raise money to take care of himself and his younger brother. However, though proud of Comel, Rakia quickly lashed out as soon as he found out Comel was wasting their money on Dark Snacks. Even though he was angered, Rakia still worried about Comel, showing genuine pain as he saw Comel died in his arms, regretting his decisions.
As a part-timer of Stomach Inc., Rakia puts on a facade of a hard-working and humble individual, showing respects towards those who pays him Dark Snacks. In reality, he holds a deep grudge against the Stomach Family and their company for what their product did to his brother. For this reason, Rakia is easily angered to know that Shoma used to be part of that Family, mistaking him as the one who was responsible for his brother's death.
Outside his façade, Rakia is aloof and somewhat laid-back, deeming things that don't interest him "dull". However, he still shows his emotions many times. For instance, he is upset that Hanto labels him as a part of the Stomach Family in their first encounter as well as crying when he sees people whose family members get turned into Human Presses because of his deeds for the Stomach Family, who he hates the most as it reminds him of his younger brother and his tragic death because of Dark Snacks.
