Second Coming

He appeared in front of dead Riders in some sort of "world of the dead", calling himself a "snake". He subdues all of the dead Riders and Over Lords and turns them into his servants. However, Gaim Kiwami Arms appears and attempts to stop him, but hes summons more dead Riders and overpowers Gaim easily, taking his power sending his Rider servants into the world of the living. Sagara tells the Riders that there is another "snake" besides him known as Maja, who slipped into the realm of the dead, and speculates that Maja was the cause of Kouta's memory loss.

He also explains that Maja's aim is to revive the dead and take over the world. Oren tries to help Kouta to regain his memories, starting with their names, but to no avail. The mysterious figure, revealing himself to be Maja, appears. The Riders are no match for Maja, who transforms into Gaim-Yami and summons all the revived Riders. The living Riders are overpowered by Maja's servants, and as Maja prepares to destroy Gaim, he is stopped by the Kureshima brothers. Mitsuzane finds the Orange Lockseed and throws it to Gaim, allowing him to remember who Mitsuzane is, and regain his basic form.

Angered, Maja transforms from Gaim-Yami into another Armored Rider form. As Kouta begins to fully remember everything, he hears Mai's voice, telling him that he has mastered fate, and encouraging him to make a miracle. Borrowing everyone's strength, Kouta transforms into Kiwami Arms. All of the Armored Riders gather together and do a roll call. Maja summons all the Over Lords once more for the final battle. The Over Lords are defeated by the Armored Riders, as Gaim faces Maja. With the power of Rosyuo's sword, Gaim finally defeats Maja.

Powers and Abilities

Realm of the Dead Traveling : He was able to enter the realm of the dead easily and revive them by bringing them back to the world.
Soul Control : He was able to control the spirits of Kamen Riders and Overlords alike. However, unknown to him, Kumon Kaito's indomitable will prevents him from being controlled.
Restriction : He seems to be able to bind his target.
Power Stealing : He was able to steal even the god-like power of the Man of the Beginning Kouta Kazuraba.

Arms

Like with the other Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Maja/Gaim Yami's forms are called Arms. As Maja, it is unknown what sound his Sengoku Driver makes before every transformation or how his personal Lockseeds are styled. As Gaim Yami, his Sengoku Driver plays Japanese horagai music and announces Soiya before every transformation, while his personal Lockseeds are styled with a mix of Japanese words and English words. By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Maja/Gaim Yami can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking.

Gaim Yami

Gaim Yami Ride Wear

Gaim Yami Ride Wear
- Gaim Yami Ride Wear is Gaim Yami's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Gaim Yami's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider. This Ride Wear is essentially a dark version of Gaim's Jimber Ride Wear. As with the original Gaim, Gami Yami is defaultly equipped with the Musou Saber side weapon, held in a holster, and a Lockseed Holder containing three Lockseeds on the left and right sides of his belt respectively.

Black Jimber Arms is Gaim Yami's default orange/lemon-based armored Japanese Samurai/Archer form, which is accessed through the simultaneous use of the Dark Orange Lockseed and Dark Lemon Energy Lockseed via the Genesis Core replacing his Sengoku Driver's Rider Indicator.
While assuming Black Jimber Arms, Gaim Yami dons the Black Jimber Armor Part and his enhanced skill is identical to the original Jimber Lemon Arms; increased strength and a boost in power. Unlike Gaim's Jimber Arms, Gaim Yami utilizes the Musou Saber instead of the Sonic Arrow. Maja's Gaim Yami appears to be slightly different from Kouta's Gaim Yami form as the visor is tinted yellow rather than the one portrayed in Golden Fruits Cup.

The Ride Wear that Maja's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator faceplate.
