―Rage, to Fusataro Fussa about Yamato Agari[src]

Rage (レイジ Raiju) is a part of a newer generation of Karakuri Dôji, whose function is to fill in the gaps in good and evil, left by Ultimo and Vice respectively.

He is a member of “The Seven Deadly Sins” and as such, is one of the strongest evil dôji below Vice.

Appearance[]

Rage has a slender build, sharp facial features, and dark, narrow eyes. His most notable feature is his white, outlandishly large pompadour, or "regent", hairstyle, which is further accentuated by the transparent black, horn-like transparent visors that frame either side of his head.

The clothes he wears are of the highest quality, featuring a black vest that exposes the majority of his torso, and a black hakama, tied with a blue sash, or obi. A large piece of grey fabric hangs from the center of the sash embellished with three spoked wheels (in his earliest appearance, it was embellished with the image of two dark horns pointed downwards). Outwardly, two large black angular and mechanical gauntlets belies the fact that he isn't human.

When in his human form, he wears a leather trench coat, with a light-colored t-shirt, dark pants, and boots. He always carries around an electric guitar with him as his master is a music producer. His hair is noticeably different - instead of being spiky and in a pompadour style, it falls back normally behind him. Though it seems he switches between the two styles regularly, as he makes a later appearance where his hair is only half up in the popmadour style, the rest falling normally down his back. In this same appearance, his trench coat no longer has sleeves and he is wearing a pair of fingerless gloves with white, torn cuffs.

While living in 1940s, Rage wears a light-colored military uniform with dark-colored boots and a military hat on top his neatly combed-down hair and carries a guitar.

Robot Crest[]

After performing the Pledge Ritual with his master, Rage's Robot Crest, (Karakuri Mon) appears upon the underside of the person's right forearm, taking the form of an ornate wheel with seven individual spokes.

Personality[]

As his name suggests, Rage seemingly harbors a substantially large amount of anger and hatred, although he displays more annoyance than actual wrath outside of combat. Even when not in battle, Rage shown to be easily angered and nerving, and is always seen sporting a scowl of irritation on his face.

Nevertheless, he usually appears to be reserved, indifferent, and apathetic, allowing him to maintain a composed attitude. This is seen when he crushes Regla's spirit sphere before flatly announcing that "he's completely dead", then simply informs Yamato that he knew what that must mean for Shin Ekoda, who was in Regla's ICON form at the time. While uncaring about what his allies do, he seems to have much higher restraint than the other evil dôji about killing, stopping Paresse when he was about to kill a young man. When his fight with Ultimo and Yamato Agari was interrupted, Rage shows that he would cease to fight rather than continue after Rune Kodaira and Jealous order him not to.

In battle, Rage is much more talkative and is easily infuriated. He hates when his opponent won't use their full strength, as seen when Ultimo refuses to use his Time-Space manipulation in their battle. He is merciless and fights dirty, going so far as to attack Ultimo while he's down and even mocking Ultimo for thinking that he wouldn't. As his more bloodthirsty side comes out during combat, Rage states that he won't be satisfied until his enemies are dead.

Biography[]

The 30th Century[]

Created in the year 2989 A.D of the 30th Century, Rage was made as the embodiment of wrath and part of the "Seven Deadly Sins" by genius scientist, Roger Dunstan, for the sole purpose of his One Hundred Machine Funeral. Together with rest of his brethren, Rage were whisked into the timestream by their creator to find appropriate masters for them and began facilitating his plans.

The 21th Century[]

Rage was given to Fusataro Fussa, a music producer at Sony Music due possessing deep angry over his past as a former musician. As a cover to be around his master, Rage became musician for Sony Music, his robotic attitudes easily making himself the company's most successful artist.

Part I[]

Having been called in by K, Rage appeared along with the other members of The Evil Dôji Branch in the forest near Mt.Fuji for the One Hundred Machine Funeral. Ambushing the good dôji masters, Rage and Fussa intercepted Shin Ekoda and Regla in their ICON mode to prevent him from reaching Vice and K. After fatally stabbing God Regla through the abdomen, the duo detransformed to introduced themselves to the enemies, with Fussa boasting Rage's electrical speed as the latter clutched Regla's spirit sphere in his hand. Annoyed by their appearance, Vice questioned why they were here since he previously told them not to come, but K explained that he was the one the called other Evil Dôji Branch members. After K gave a speech about how the evil dôji and masters are going became the "gods of a new world" after the One Hundred Machine Funeral, Rage delivered the first kill by crushing Regla's spirited sphere.

Despite nearly winning, the Evil Dôji Branch's victory was halted by Yamato Agari using the remaining energy in God Ultimo to manipulated Space-Time, rewinding time to the day before. As a result, Rage, his allies, and everyone else lost their memories of the events, with the expectation of Yamato and Musashi Murayama due to God Regla's abilities.

Part III[]

After Yamato reset time, Rage and Fussa went to Sparrow Place for an evening meeting of The Evil Doji Branch. They arrived in time to find Paresse was about to kill a young man and Rage stopped him before he could. Rage chide Paresse and Mizho for trying to skip on the meeting as Fussa questioned what they will do to the trio of bystanders. As the other members arrived and bickered among themselves, Vice made his presence known and snapped his brethren, causing Rage to expressed fear. As Vice killed the civilians and began the meeting, Roger Dunstan and his Karakuri Dôji Milieu appeared before the The Evil Dôji Branch.

Unlike his master and most of his allies, Rage didn't panic and quietly observed the proceedings as they learned of "rules" for the One Hundred Machine Funeral by Dunstan. The Evil Dôji Branch expressed displeasured at the constrictions, but Rune Kodaira pointed out they can keep defeating their enemies until they break their spirits. However, Vice expressed his distaste of these conditions and declared that he or the others didn't have to follow Dunstan's rules. After Vice challenged Dunstan to an ICON fight, Rage and the others witnessed Dunstan's overwhelming might as he easily defeated their leaders. Upon God Ultimo's arrival at the apartment, Rage watched on as the The Good Dôji Club fail to fight off Dunstan. With everyone in attendance, Dunstan explained the rules for the One Hundred Machine Funeral and reminded everyone that he was watching them before disappearing. Afterwards, Rune mentioned to Yamato that the entire Evil Dôji Branch agreed to go about their lives during the year-long Hundred Machine Funeral.

By the next day, Rage and Fussa received orders from Vice to draw out an opponent, with the latter choosing to target Musashi Murayama and Sophia. By nightfall, Rage and Fussa confronted the good duo at Fussa's studio, who Fussa invited earlier to hopefully make a deal. When Musashi clarify he was here to fight, Fussa attempted to extent the conversation, which an irate Rage snappily told his master to cut it out. A flustered Fussa tried to calm Rage down, reminding him killing will gain them nothing and that company would get mad should anything happens to him. Muasahi commented about how "shameless" Fussa was for using Rage as a musician, but Fussa boasted that Rage was very popular. After Musashi provoked Fussa, Rage and his master transformed into ICON mode and blast the good duo outside, destroying the studio in the process and likely a few subsequent other floors as well. Despite having the speed advantage, Demon Rage was unable to land a solid hit on God Sophia due to Musashi using Sophia's Noh on himself to heighten his senses to read their movement and dodged accordingly and the two ICONs were quickly locked in a stalemate. Wanting to end the fight quickly, God Sophia purposely let Demon Rage stabbed them to draw the latter in close to attack, but the internally broken Sophia suddenly shut down and Musashi unable to move. Vice, who was watching the fight with Jealous, ordered them to kill Musashi off, but Fussa refused to attack an defenseless enemy. Annoyed at being talked back to, Vice furiously sent Demon Rage flying away with a powerful kick as punishment while an exasperated Jealous looked on.

Once Vice's achieved his second form and stole Ultimo's Time-Space Noh, Rage transported Fussa and rest of The Evil Dôji Branch via time-travel to 1944 of Japan. They lived and trained for three years in the Japanese army as they wait for The Good Dôji Club to arrived. Once Yamato and his friends arrived in 1947, the Evil Dôji Branch soon accepted Makoto Sayama as a new ally, who was secretly Dunstan's daughter and has betrayed Yamato in favor joining the former to defeat her father. Having heard of Hana Koganei and Edile's earlier defeat, Rage and Fussa went out to find Yamato and Ultimo to get payback. They find Yamato and Ultimo rushing to go find Sayama, the latter having just learned the girl was Dunstan's daughter, and intercepted them. Fussa provoked the teen about Sayama, causing Yamato tried to punch Fussa, but Rage harmlessly blocked his fists. While Fussa attempted to form an alliance with Yamato, the masters ultimately decided that they fight to decide who joins the opposing side, with the condition of not using ICONs.

As the battle begin, Rage was noted to be physically stronger by Ultimo after their first clash and the latter was forbidden to use his Noh to things fair. While Ultimo tried to use his speed, Rage proclaimed that Ultimo still has limits and expressed anger that Ultimo was holding back. Using his emotion to boost his energy, Rage attacked with his Noh and greatly damaged Ultimo, making him collapsed from the pain. Rage continued to hit Ultimo, mocking his brethren for acting tough, and electrocuted Yamato when he attempted to check his dôji, remarking that he was too caring. Fussa lightly scolded Rage for attacking masters since it against the rules, but Rage stated he won't be satisfy until his enemy are dead. As Rage prepared to stab Yamato, he was stopped by Rune Kodaira and Jealous, who was spying on them nearby and wanted to bring Yamato to Vice. Rune sternly told Rage that he should let his anger be unfilled since he was nothing without it.

As Rage warily backed off and reverted back into his human guise, he silently watched as Rune and Yamato's interaction played out. However, Yamato came to have an epiphany, which allowed him to heal Ultimo's wounds, and Yoichi Oizumi and Service to heal Yamato. When Rune and Yamato began an ICON battle, Rage and Fussa were prepare to assist Rune, but Yoichi and Service blocked their way and challenge to an ICON battle too. Their fight was halted by Dunstan's arrival, who was pleased how everything was going and proclaimed to everyone that the One Hundred Machine Funeral was almost over. Demon Rage watched as Yamato and Yoichi tried to fight Dunstan and failed stop him from taking Sayama to The 30th Century. When both sides ceased fighting and retreat, Rage followed in Fussa's defection to the opposition and dutiful him to 1947 Hibari Oume's home.

Later, once Yamato and others managed to beat Vice into submission and make him an ally, both sides focus on training for their impending battle with Dunstan. Once they were ready, the masters and their Karakuri Dôji headed to Dunstan's tower in the 30th Century. During the raid of Dunstan's tower, Rage and the rest of the Evil Dôji Branch attacked Dunstan and Milieu to buy time for the Good Dôji Club save Sayama and synchronize Ultimo and Vice's spirit spheres to form Ideos Ultimo - a form symbolizing of the unity between good and evil. Pleased by how both sides' realization of the nature of good and evil, Dunstan praised them for their efforts and revealed the real reason of his experiment was to save the future from its destruction. Dunstan then forcefully dispelled everyone else from their ICONs and immobilize the dôjis, leading all the masters to free fall in the air. Dunstan proclaimed everyone that his experiment isn't over and turned back time, but he allowed the masters to keep their memories and transformed the dôjis into humans. Choosing to stay together with Fussa, Rage formed a band with Fussa, Mizho and Paresse named "West Tokyo Incidents".
