Infinite Emperor Dragon Gurenryu (無限帝王龍神グレンリュー Mugen Teiō Ryūjin Gurenryū?) was one of the reincarnated halves of the Hero King Algol, the other being his partner Goryu. An ancient dragon who was born from the Hero King's anger and sadness, in the process becoming the physical manifestation of Algol's lust for power. After Goryu's death, he and Taki formed a pact that allowed him to fuse with her into becoming Kamen Rider MugenryuTaki (仮面ライダー無限竜タキ Kamen Raidā Mugenryū Taki?).
History[]
Background[]
Like his human partner Goryu, Gurenryu is a creature with a mysterious past. In truth, both of them are reincarnations of the Hero King Algol as a result of the Hero King's Souls being split into two. Goryu is the embodiment of Algol's sorrow and despair reincarnated as a mortal human, while Gurenryu is a manifestation of the Hero King's lust for power made flesh, created from his anger and sadness over his son's death. Since then, the two beings went on their separate paths until fate drew them into encountering one another. Sometime later, Goryu would infuse himself with Gurenryu's blood and became the nigh-omnipotent Kamen Rider Mugenryu; the same process how Taki obtained the Mugenryu Miridewatch, at the cost of sacrificing her own humanity.

Appearance[]
Gurenryu is a blue bodied dragon that has red markings on its throat and thickly scaled underside, sporting crimson wings with sharp white edges that also act as blades. He also donned a midnight-blue chest plate and a choker on the neck. Additionally, there are raised red ridges above its eyes with a blood orange coloration in its sclerae. Three flat fins protrude from either side of the head, possibly acting in the same manner that a Canard aircraft would have. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Each of its short legs are equipped with midnight-blue colored armor that come with metallic yellow claws.
His alternate form is a bipedal humanoid warrior; allowing him to stand on his two rear legs, and causing the legs to expand into human-shaped legs and feet. His tail was disengaged from the main body. Gurenryu's dragon head removed itself from his neck, which in turn split into two, forming the arms. The front legs became his shoulder armor. And then, Gurenryu gains a humanoid head.
Personality[]
Gurenryu possesses two distinctive characteristics depending on either forms he takes on. In his quadrupedal state, like actual dragons, he is incredibly cruel, violent, and sadistic; he enjoys rampaging and causing wanton mayhem even at the slightest provocation. When adopting to his bipedal form, Gurenryu takes a calm and collected approach in combat while showing signs of restraint. Regardless of either forms, Gurenryu is extremely talkative, foul-mouthed, and a wisecracking anthropomorphic dragon who constantly taunts and insults other characters or makes digs at their expense, and even go so far as to underestimate his enemies. Gurenryu enjoys seeking out and fighting stronger opponents, searching worthy foes across time; that even includes anyone who wields Soul Edge and/or Soul Calibur. However, this pathological need for battle are taken to extremes and can be somewhat detrimental. As a result, he has little to no concern for the safety of others, to the point of endangering innocent people, posing no interruption to his fighting.
Upon Goryu's sacrifice, Gurenryu lost the will to fight. He fell into a depression, mourning his comrade's loss. It would take Taki's conviction to allow Gurenryu to move on and carry on Goryu's last wish to protect the world along with the four knights. Thus, forming a pact with the demon huntress.
Behind his wisecracking antics, Gurenryu is haunted by his past life as the Hero King Algol considering that he and Goryu are revealed to be reincarnated halves of the Hero King. This further explains the reason why he and Goryu want to destroy the two Soul swords, in order to prevent the influence of both swords from corrupting humanity into perpetrating meaningless conflicts.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Human Speech: Gurenryu has the ability to communicate with humans.
- Two-Mode Transformation: Gurenryu can transform between his quadruped and bipedal forms.
- Enhanced Strength: Gurenryu possesses unfathomable rigid power that even surpasses GeizRevive Goretsu.
- Time Travel: Gurenryu has the ability to travel back and forth across time. Which prompts the Riders to pilot their Time Mazines to chase him across different timelines.
- Time Alteration Immunity: Gurenryu apparently retains his memories before Taki reset both the Kamen Riders' and the Soulcalibur timelines and still houses the Mugenryu Miridewatch in his person, and even allowed Taki to once again transform into MugenryuTaki. Epilogue: Farewell to the Stage of History
- Supernatural Digestion/Ingestion: As shown in the season 2 finale, Gurenryu is also capable of devouring supernatural beings such as demons, evil spirits, etc., as shown when he sucked Gel-O-Fury out of Toki's body.
- Asexual Reproduction: At some point before Kamen Rider Kenzan Gaiden: Legend of Snow White and Kamen Rider Revice EXTRA: Kamen Rider Sin, Gurenryu is revealed to be capable of reproducing asexually; with one notable offspring being Grancaesar.

Kamen Rider MugenryuTaki (仮面ライダー無限竜タキ Kamen Raidā Mugenryū Taki?), also known as the Eternal Great Dragon Empress (永遠の大竜皇后 Eien no Dairyū Kōgō?), is Taki's final form, accessed with the Mugenryu Miridewatch, based on Kamen Rider Mugenryu. Its visor spells out "Mugenryu" (むげんりゅうー Mugenryū?) in hirigana. MugenryuTaki's primary weapons are the Mugenryuken and Mugen Shield, which combines into the Mugen Arrow.
MugenryuTaki has two modes: Almighty Type (オールマイティタイプ Ōrumaiti Taipu?) is MugenryuTaki's default mode which not only gives her access to seven Future Kamen Riders's powers, Almighty Type emphasizes the use of long range and heavy firepower. On top of that, this also allows Taki to call upon every Legend Riders' dragons (i.e., Kamen Rider Ryuki's Dragredder or Kamen Rider Wizard's WizarDragon to name a few) to aid her in battle. The second mode, Edge Master Type (エッジマスタータイプ Ejji Masutā Taipu?) disengages the Multipurpose Rack, sacrificing flight and heavy armament in favor of all-out melee combat. Furthermore, Taki has access to all the fighting styles and weapons of every Soulcalibur VI character, including her (and by proxy, her counterpart's) own. Although, Taki can access her Soulcalibur contemporaries' weapons without removing her backpack.
Like the actual Kamen Rider Mugenryu, Taki's stats in this form are monstrously high. Surpassing all the Zi-O Riders' in their final forms, including GrandZi-O. But, still loses to FourzeArmor in terms of maximum flight speed. This makes Taki the strongest of the Zi-O Riders, and theoretically rivaling the all-powerful Ohma Zi-O. MugenryuTaki is also capable of flying at hypersonic speeds when her wings are equipped; something that Gurenryu can't normally do on his own.
However, there is a side-effect in using this form. Prolonged usage of the Mugenryu Miridewatch increases Taki's aggression, causing her to become bloodthirsty, violent and sadistic like Gurenryu. According to Tsukasa Kadoya, Taki also inherits Gurenryu's genetic condition in which stimulated by emotional stress by repeatedly slowing down and speed up the flow of time. This stimulant effect also damages Taki's brain cells which quickly fuels her brutality after each transformation and consequently deteriorates her morality, self-restraint and sanity.

(the same metal alloy that make up Kamen Rider Rock and Kamen Rider Kikai's respective armors).

Kamen Rider MugenryuTaki X-Burst (仮面ライダー無限竜タキXバースト Kamen Raidā Mugenryū Taki Ekkusu Bāsuto?), also known as the Power of Fifteen (15号の力 Jugō no chikara?), is MugenryuTaki's evolved form, accessed by pressing the Mugenryu Miridewatch's Miride On Starter while loaded in the BeyonDriver and closing the Crank in Handle. It is analogous to Kamen Rider GrandZi-O in that being wielding the powers of the 15 Showa Riders. In this form, Taki absorbs all 15 Showa Rider Ridewatches into the Mugenryu watch, which in turn adorns her with the symbols of the 14 Showa Riders as smartwatch apps (NOTE: The Double Riders share only one symbol), and the "Kamen" (カメン?) symbol at the center of the armor represents Taki herself. The Taki Miridewatch is located on the forehead.
Like GrandZi-O, Taki can touch the app of a specific Showa Rider to summon them. By doing so, creating a time portal to summon that specific Rider from their timeline. In her case, this portal is shaped like that of a smartwatch. Tapping the app twice summons their weapon. However, most Showa Riders only have limited amount of weapons such as in the case of X, Super-1, ZX, and Black RX. Tapping the app thrice allows Taki to use a Rider's signature attack and ability.
X-Burst tones down all of MugenryuTaki's stats by half. But, her stats is still superior to GrandZi-O, except for the jumping power. Additionally, most of Zi-O and Geiz's abilities are stacked into this form: namely GrandZi-O's ability to harness past Riders' powers and GeizRevive Shippu's speed.
Like GrandZi-O, Mugenryu X-Burst has its own weakness. According to Edge Master, Taki cannot maintain this form for a long period of time and will revert back to MugenryuTaki after a time limit of 10 minutes due to temporal anomalies affecting the Ridewatches of Black RX, Shin, ZO, and J, due to duplicates of their Rider powers under the possession of certain individuals.
MugenryuTaki X-Burst consists of the following parts:

- Miride Ear Blade (ミライドイヤーブレード Miraido Iyā Burēdo?) - The bladed antenna on the temple. It measures all spatial and temporal information, and the impact point of the shooting attack, the observation accuracy such as the timing when the enemy attacks and evasion are greatly improved.
- Indication Superstar (インジケーションスーパースター Injikēshon Sūpāsutā?) - The visor which spells out "Rider". Sensors with a 300° viewing angle is built into the compound eye.

- Burst Hybrid Bezel (バーストハイブリッドベゼル Bāsuto Haiburiddo Bezeru?) - The metal frame surrounding the face. It is composed of Smooth Graphenium Plus (スムースグラフェニウムプラス Sumūsu Gurafeniumu Purasu?), a soft metal armor that boasts fifty times the flexibility and defense power.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Gurenryu is voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi (武内 駿輔 Takeuchi Shunsuke?). In Ryukishi Mode, his suit actor is Kazuya Okada (岡田 和也 Okada Kazuya?) with Yohei Fujita (藤田 洋平 Fujita Yohei?) as his substitute.
In the English dub, he is voiced by Garrett Hunter.
Etymology[]
Gurenryu when written in kanji literally means "Crimson Lotus Dragon" (紅蓮龍 Gurenryū?)
Concept[]
Gurenryu's appearance is based on the Dragon-type Pokémon Salamence (ja:Bohmander) from the Pokémon franchise. His ability to transition from a quadruped dragon to bipedal humanoid form draws inspiration from Imperialdramon Dragon Mode and Fighter Mode from the Digimon franchise, respectively. His overall head is based that of Optimus Prime from the Transformers series.
Notes[]
- Both he and his human partner are the antithesis to Kamen Rider Ginga as both Riders came to existence due to irregularities with the space-time continuum; though both Goryu and Gurenryu were fragmented reincarnations of the Hero King Algol, who has been dormant in Astral Chaos, a dimensional realm where space-time itself is also distorted. Ginga is an extraterrestrial Rider seeking to destroy the universe. While Goryu and Gurenryu only seek out to destroy both Soul Edge and Soul Calibur with no intention of harming innocent people. Both of their powers are used by one of the main Riders to access their final forms -- WozGingaFinaly and MugenryuTaki Almighty Type, respectively.
- Gurenryu's personality parallels to two dragon-themed Kamen Rider characters -- Ryutaros and Wizardragon -- Ryutaros is the most childish and trigger-happy individual of the DenLiner Crew, while Gurenryu is foul-mouthed and violent with a pathological urge to fight stronger enemies. Both Gurenryu and Wizardragon allow their respective masters use their power to access even more powerful forms.
