DJ Sagara (DJサガラ, Dī Jei Sagara), commonly referred to by Kouta and others as just Sagara (サガラ, Sagara), is a "pirate" radio DJ who seemingly works for Yggdrasill Corporation to keep the masses entertained with the Inves Games. In reality, he is actually the metatron of the Helheim Forest to help choose the next Man of the Beginning.

History

"Hello Zawame City!"―DJ Sagara's greeting[src]

Sagara often made his appearances on any possible screen in Zawame City, usually to deliver updates on the Inves game rankings, the latest actions of the various Beat Rider teams, and the unfolding events surrounding the Armored Riders that wind up drastically changing the game.

In reality, Sagara was in the employment of the Yggdrasill Corporation, working alongside it in order to run experiments with the Lockseeds developed from the Helheim fruits and Ryoma Sengoku's inventions, such as the Sengoku Driver. Sagara would rarely appear to his employers in person however, mainly communicating via video.

Sagara secretly helped to orchestrate the escape of Kouta and Kaito after their capture following the destruction of Ryoji Hase, who had been turned into an Inves. He met with the distraught Kouta, and after a cryptic pep-talk, leaves him with a security card, the Lemon Energy Lockseed, and the Genesis Core from one of Ryoma's prototype Genesis Drivers.

Sagara gives Kouta a Tulip Hopper Lock Vehicle.

He then appears to Kouta and Kaito after they were sent back to the real world. Sagara gave them a Tulip Hopper Lock Vehicle as he tells them about which will the forest choose, which made them curious about his words. [The Gifted Secret Weapon]

"Get in your head already! You hate this world's rule of requiring sacrifices only for hope. Just smash them into bits. Smash it and change the world. Do you know why those Yggdrasill guys are acting the way they are? Because they're weak. They can only fight in the confines of that rule. They've given in to the cruelty of the world."―DJ Sagara's words to Kouta[src]

As Kouta loses the will to fight, Sagara visited him in Drupers. He lectures Kouta on the true meaning of protecting someone before informing him about Kaito, declaring Yggdrasill is nothing but weaklings. He then tells Kouta of the masterminds of Helheim known as the Over Lords, leading Kouta to ask if they had the ability to stop the Helheim forest from conquering their world, to which he replies depends on him or Kaito. While Gaim invades Yggdrasill, the mysterious Woman of Beginnings asks Sagara why he allowed Kouta to continue fighting, after which Sagara reveals that he knows her identity.

Sagara appeared in Ryoma's room.

Sagara appears as a hologram in Ryoma Sengoku's lab and revealed his knowledge about a "forbidden fruit" inside Helheim held by the Over Lords although Ryoma already knew of it. [Gridon and Bravo, the Strongest Tag]He later reappeared before Rosyuo and Takatora as he is given the Kiwami Lockseed by Rosyuo for Kouta. [Whereabouts of the Forbidden Fruit]

Sagara appears to Kouta and Mai as the former was furious about what he told him about the Over Lords. Sagara tells Kouta of his actions as the youth was still curious about what he knew. He then heals Kouta's wounds and tells him that he could save the world if he is willing to be one of the Over Lords, before informing him that if he obtains the Forbidden Fruit, it is up to him to decide what's best for the world. As he heals Kouta's wound, Sagara uses his otherworldly powers to test him if he wants to obtain the power he needed. Mai didn't believe what Sagara said, as he reveals that he is aiming to wanting a place that has the most potent power in the hands of an unknown quantity. After Kouta manages to grab the Kiwami Lockseed, Sagara disappears and hopes that Kouta won't regret his decision. [The Strongest Power! Kiwami Arms]

Sagara later approaches Kaito, telling him that Kouta has become stronger as he challenges him with another world Gaim, before Kaito enters another world. He then appears to Gaim while fighting the Grasshopper Monster as he tells the Rider that time and space have been distorted, seeing that Lapis would be the cause before he leaves. [Baron's Soccer Showdown Summer Camp!]

Sagara appears in the Helheim forest, telling Mai that Kouta would no longer have a place to live if he plans to save his world, having the youth to be the destroyer of the forest. Mai started to question his words as Sagara explains to her that Kouta would have fear if he has too much power. Mai denies what he said, but Sagara told her that Kouta already decided his fate, distressing her. He then ask Mai about Kouta's decision as she replies to him that his decision wouldn't change. [Awakening the Over Lord]

"We are those who've spread endlessly. We've surpassed the skies and prospered. We've stimulated revolution in ancient tribes...or perhaps I'm just the snake that they call me."―Sagara reveals his identity[src]

Sagara eventually reveals that he is actually the Helheim Forest itself; he chose the "DJ Sagara" form because it would allow him to communicate with humans. He tells Mitsuzane and Ryoma that his purpose is actually to evolve all creatures, he has visited countless worlds to do it. In order to do so, he grants the Fruit of Knowledge to any creature he deemed worthy of it. [Mitsuzane! The Final Transformation!]

After the death of Kaito, Sagara approaches Kouta, now having been made into the Man of the Beginning after accepting the Fruit of Knowledge from Mai, now the Woman of the Beginning. Though Kouta still doesn't fully trust him, Sagara points out that he was neither for or against any of the parties involved and his sole purpose was to motivate change and let the victors decide their own fate. However, when he asks Kouta what he intends to do with his new power, Kouta reveals he has no intention of repeating the actions of the Over Lords by destroying the very world he fought to protect. Instead, he opens a portal, sending Helheim and the Inves to an uninhabited world on the other side of the universe. Although dumbfounded that Kouta and Mai would chose a life of struggle in a barren wasteland instead of a lush planet like Earth and frustrated that his desire to force change on Earth had been thwarted, Sagara begrudgingly accepts their decisions, encouraging them to push onward with their future before vanishing.

As Kouta and Mai depart for their new world, Sagara is later seen on an unknown world populated by primitive beings, creating a new Forbidden Fruit as he wonders which species he should have face the trial of evolution next.

Final Stage

Though the battle for the Golden Fruit ended with Kouta becoming the Man of the Beginning, Sagara would return in light of a new threat, Maja, who he refered to as a fellow "snake". Having slipped into the realm of the dead, Maja's aim was to revive the dead, Armored Riders and Over Lords alike, using them to take over the world of the living. Acting to stop Maja, Sagara appeared before the Armored Riders Gridon, Knuckle and Bravo, having restored their broken Sengoku Drivers. He explained that Kouta, who had appeared before them as an amnesiac, was stripped of his powers having been defeated by Maja, speculating that Kouta's memory loss was Maja's doing.

After Kouta managed to regain his memories and power, defeating Maja and his Over Lord followers with the help of all the Armored Riders, Sagara concluded the story, remarking that Kouta Kazuraba had yet again created another miraculous scene. He noted Kouta would be sure to reappear if danger came to this world again, as long as he wasn't forgotten. [Kamen Rider Gaim: Final Stage]

Personality

As a pirate radio DJ, Sagara incites the excitement in joining Inves Games, and making it fashionable and ranking the standings of the city's teams, refering to the various dance crews of the city as Beat Riders (ビートライダーズ, Bīto Raidāzu). He starts his shows with a rousing call of "Hello, Zawame City!" (ヘロー、ザワメシティ!, Herō, Zawame Shiti!) and while on the air, he speaks in an exaggerated accent, which he drops while in the personal presence of others.

After revealing himself as the personification of Helheim's will, Sagara shows a colder and more ruthlessly manipulative side to his personality. Yet despite the threat his actions pose to Earth, Sagara himself is neither good nor evil but rather is motivated to produce change in whatever world Helheim infects, viewing himself as the enforcer of the cycle of death and rebirth that drives evolution. He also maintains a sense of fair play, chiding Rosyuo for trying to keep humanity's Forbidden Fruit for himself when he had already claimed the one for his race and frequently giving aid to Kouta whenever the playing field shifts unfairly against the young rider. And while he disagrees with Kouta and Mai moving Helheim and the Inves to an unpopulated world rather than using the power of the Forbidden Fruit to create new life on Earth, he respects their choice and ceases his activities on Earth, wishing them well despite being defeated, though there's a hint of him being a sore loser, as right after he goes to a new planet and begins the war anew. Although, this could just be part of his duty as the manifestation of Helheim itself, accelerating the cycle of life and death in the worlds he visits.
