Though he was seemingly erased alongside his team as a result of Asmodeus’ manipulations, he and, presumably, his corresponding team were restored back into existence once Touma Kamiyama had helped Shotaro regained his passion in drawing out the superheroes that he wants to draw out.
During the climatic final battle itself, he can be seen fighting alongside Kamen Rider Den-O, ToQ 1gou, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Kamen Rider Saikou.

Four Years Later
As revealed in the 4th audio drama included in the Kiramager Blu-ray collection volume 4, four years after Kiramager's finale, Juru goes on to attend art school.
Personality
Juru is a modest and naive student with an extraordinary imagination. During the Dark Empire Yodonheim invasion, Juru was infamous for his tendency to draw no matter the crisis, having gotten close to the Kiramagers in combat just to draw them in battle. He is also easily distracted by his hobby, often getting him in trouble at school, though he can draw extremely realistic pictures when he feels the need, while also being impressively quick and adaptive. Juru is the youngest of the team. Despite this, he knows when to take responsibility and when to take charge, even when he was unsure of his new position as leader of the group. His artistic hobby grants him extreme creativity, which allowed his Kiramental to shape new forms for the Mashin. While Juru usually addresses others with honorifics, he simply calls their names casually when he's in ranger form.
Juru also displays tendencies to show behaviors almost identical to King Oradin's, partially due to meeting the late Crystarian king in his mind. While the other Kiramagers and Princess Mabushina find these tendencies to be awkward, Galza finds them increasingly infuriating, primarily due to the hatred he holds towards King Oradin.
Kiramai Red
Using the Kiramai Changer, Juru can access his Kiramager Form by pressing on the red button that symbolizes a Kiramager Helmet and then spins the "tire" to transform into his Kiramager Form allowing him to become Kiramai Red. In this form he has access to individual weapons and mechas that he can use in battle against Yodonheim and their Jamenshi. While Juru can not just help create and aid his team members while drawing the items that are needed, he can even draw concepts of his and his teams' mechas including other individual mechas that aids them in battle against the Jamen Beasts.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Being a high school student, Juru is the only member of his team to not have developed his own fighting style prior to joining the Kiramagers. Though he is sometimes shown training with the others, he currently lacks Sena's stamina and speed, Tametomo's marksmanship, Shiguru's swordsmanship, and Sayo's martial arts knowledge. What he lacks in physical ability, however, he more than compensates for in mental ability.
- Imagination Manifestation: Juru possesses a strong imagination that allows him to bring whatever he draws, whether it be any material, being or tool originating from his imagination, into existence and literally bring his wildest ideas into reality. He is the only member of the Kiramager team with this ability. In Juru's dreams, King Oradin's spirit has theorized that Juru's ability to do this is at its strongest when his physical body has been completely exhausted.
- Precognition: While Juru can imagine anything that he can easily draw on his notebook, he can even perceive the future through his dreams, though this ability can only trigger when he can draw something useful.
- Telepathy: Juru was able to hear Emperor Yodon's voice in his head.
Attacks
- God Bird Alphasm (ゴッドバードアルファズム, Goddo Bādo Arufazumu): Kiramai Red could draw his Kiramai Sword around him to generate colorful flames and then throw an avatar of a bird from it at his opponents. This was a counterpart to the Beast Wolf Omegadia attack performed by Galza.
Abilities
- Mental Link: Oradin and Juru share a mental link, allowing one to read the other's thoughts.
