Classification: Bugster
Powers and Abilities:
Transformation to his default form with Gashacon Bugvisor, Regeneration (Mid-Godly) and Immortality (Type 1, 3, 4, 6, 8) (Bugsters can revive from their own deaths, after which the body and data vanish. Computer data is what makes up their body and mind, which means they can survive a complete destuction of their existence. If a Bugster is killed or before gaining a stable body, they can be absorbed and preserved into a Gashacon Bugvisor in a form of data, as an efficient way to preserve their data for other uses), Reactive Evolution and Accelerated Development (Other; Physical Statistics and Abilities; Bugsters become stronger and evolve every time they die, similar to how viruses mutate and adapt to man-made vaccines. When respawned, Bugsters can also "Level Up" like game characters, in a similar manner of the mutation of general viruses to survive vaccines. Some of the previously defeated Bugster even come back at a higher level than before. In fact, the Bugsters increasing powers necessitates the Riders having to find stronger upgrades for themselves), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2; Bugsters body are made of data and such doesn't have any organic parts), Statistics Amplification (The host increasing stress can power up the Bugster), Possession (They're essentially parasites (or rather parasitoids, given they're lethal to their hosts) that infect their host and grow inside them as a virus until their infection reaches a certain point, causing them to turn into a "Bugster Union". The virus evolves to the point where they can possess their victim instead of forming a Bugster Union. When Kamen Rider Chronicle comes into play, it seems to have evolved again: each Bugster no longer has a single host but rather a group of Ride Players, with even Perfect Bugsters now infecting multiple hosts), Body Control (Bugsters could turn into a mass of data to avoid attacks or escape), Immersion (They can freely travel through cyberspace, or 2-D space, in a video game), Weapon Mastery (Can use Gashacon Bugvisor), Data Manipulation (Can travel through the cyberspace by transforming into computer data), Teleportation (Can teleport himself for simple travel or evade incoming assaults), Disease Manipulation, Data Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement and Existence Erasure (Can infect people with Bugster virus, if the virus is not stopped within time limit, the patient will instantly die with their body completely vanish), Paralysis Inducement (Paralysis cannot affected Bugster), Immunity to Soul Manipulation (He's a Bugster, an Video Game Virus made out of data, and lacking of soul), Resistance to Disease Manipulation, Data Manipulation, Status Effect Inducement and Existence Erasure (The ability to use the Gamer Driver gives them resistance to the Bugster Virus, in which the infected succumb to intense pain and are eventually erased from the world), Biological Manipulation and Transmutation (He is unaffected by the Gamedeus Virus turning people into Bugster Virus. As a Bugster, he's immune to conventional Game Disease)
All of previous abilities, Energy Manipulation, Non-Physical Interaction (Presumably, he can interact with incorpereal beings via scaling to other Riders)

- Gashacon Bugvisor: Transformation & virus infection device. Originally Genm's standard side-weapon until Genm confiscated from Graphite, who later used it along with Bugster Buckle as his secondary transformation into Zombie Gamer Level X. Later regained sometime after his revival.

Weaknesses: None Notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Dragon Fang of Rage: his super attack of his first form, Graphite charges his Graphite Fang with red lightning like energy and uses it to draw an "X" sign in the air, then thrusts it into his enemy. This attack is so powerful that it was able to knockout two Level 2 Kamen Riders and slightly damaged a Level 3 Kamen Rider, even after being intercepted by two special attacks from the former ones. A direct hit from this attack was enough to knock Ex-Aid Robot Action Gamer Level 3 out of his transformation.
- Do-Do-Do Dark Dragon Sword: A stronger version of Dragon Fang of Rage as Dark Graphite, when charges his Graphite Fang with yellow and black lightning like energy. He can slash his enemy twice without having to form a X sign first. It's powerful enough to knock all of the Riders (Brave Quest Gamer Level 2, Snipe Combat Shooting Gamer Level 3 and Lazer Chambare Bike Gamer Level 3) out of their transformation at once. However, it could not even scratch Ex-Aid Hunter Action Gamer Level 5 Full Dragon, and was easily blocked by the combination of 4 Level 5 Kamen Riders' power.
- Do-Do-Do-Do-Do Crimson Exploding Dragon Sword: An upgraded version of Dragon Fang of Rage and Do-Do-Do Dark Dragon Sword as Guren Graphite. Graphite charges his Graphite Fang with fire energy, which the slash then turns into a fire-based Chinese dragon that charges at the target and explode on contact.
- Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do-Do Crimson Exploding Dragon Sword: The most powerful version of his attack, which he used to incapacitate Cronus shortly before his own demise. Reset Game! This is the first Bugster finisher move to have a prelude screen in the Kimewaza format.
