Reza Bramasakti is a character in the Indonesian tokusatsu series BIMA Satria Garuda and Satria Garuda BIMA-X.

Introduction

Formerly known as Mikhail, he is Ray's long-lost younger brother.

History

Reza is the son of Rudy and Risha Bramasakti, a couple who are involved in an inter-dimensional portal experiment that allows them to explore parallel worlds. Although Reza and his brother Ray did not get along completely during their childhood, the two brothers still loved each other. Unfortunately, the tragedy that changed their world forever began when Topeng Besi (Iron Mask) and a squadron of combatants kidnapped Reza with their parents and left Ray for dead in their house which was also destroyed on the same day.

Over the next 21 years, Reza, Rudy, and Risha were slaves to VUDO, until hope arised where they not only managed to escape, but also acquire assets that would allow the Bramasakti family to search for the new Satria Garuda Bima. Possibly helping them escape was the Garuda Spirit or his errand boy, Glitter Bima, who chose Reza and his parents to help reclaim the 7 Power Stones that Rasputin had stolen. While Rudy and Risha stayed in their hiding place in the Parallel World, Reza, who now went by the name Mikhail, was now on the run with the Red Power Stone in search of the new Satria Garuda Bima.

Satria Garuda BIMA

Arriving in Jakarta, Mikhail was surrounded by VUDO combatants who were sent to seize the Red Power Stone in his possession. Their fight catched the attention of a grown-up Ray and, impressed by the tenacity of the young man he doesn't realize is his sibling, convinces Mikhail to choose him as the new Bima. From there, Mikhail guided the new Satria Garuda while staying in the Limbo so that his whereabouts were not detected by Topeng Besi.

However, Mikhail was eventually captured by Topeng Besi's squadron after saving Ray from the Valcus Monster and donating his blood to save his ward. With the Black Power Stone already possessing a duplicate of the Yellow Power Stone's lightning element and a hypnotic spell, Rasputin transforms Mikhail into his personal Anti-Satria with the title of Azazel, Dark VUDO Knight, to rival Bima. Rasputin's decision at that time was opposed by Topeng Besi because Azazel was also created to replace his position, as a response to repeated carelessness which actually gave Bima the opportunity to stop his errands. When Topeng Besi was demoted to an ordinary soldier, Mikhail, as Azazel, became the new Commander-in-Chief of VUDO.

Azazel's first mission as the new Commander-in-Chief of VUDO was to take over the ZU-Formula project with the combatants and Megalodon Monster. Unfortunately, the mission failed thanks to the defection of Topeng Besi who tricked the Megalodon Monster into absorbing Rena as a source of extra power, an act that not only infuriated Ray, but also made him change tactics by enlisting Randy's help. Topeng, who was not afraid of the consequences of his actions, insulted Azazel as a lowly human, forcing Rasputin to give a second hypnosis to his new Commander because the taunt made him remember who he really is.

After being hypnotized, Azazel finally became stronger, and at the same time, the Shadow Crisis Ultimate Four appeared, consisting of Zacros (Goat monster), Karax (Crow monster), Vargulf (Wolf monster), and Velifer (Bat monster). all of whom were VUDO's top four elite and best officers. They get the power of four Power Stones from Rasputin and only submit under his orders and all these Monsters are finally defeated by Ray.

After many fierce battles with Ray, Reza was successfully awakened, moreover the hypnotic effect became weaker because Rasputin was too hasty to finish off Azazel who dared to rebel, for the sake of an honorable fight when his battle with Bima was almost over and the most likely result was a draw.

Initially, Reza felt very devastated when he lost his brother who had been separated from him for a long time. However, thanks to the advice of Uncle Iwan, he got up and used the Black Power Stone and fought Velifer who raised the ghost of VUDO's Monsters and showed his true identity as Satria Garuda Azazel.

After defeating Velifer and the monster ghosts with the help of his brother, Reza and Ray finally joined forces and fought to the death to defeat Rasputin who used the Grand Gator as his battle vehicle to destroy Earth.

Satria Garuda BIMA-X

Half a year after defeating Rasputin, Ray and Reza faced a new enemy named Black Lord, and his Three Supreme Generals, the Death Phantoms: Rexor, Lady Mossa, and Draconar.

Reza had a grudge against Proteus who took advantage of the situation where there are still people who have not left the battle arena to kill his brother. Without thinking for a moment Ray was in the hospital, Reza again fought with Proteus.

Because of this reckless action, Ray died in his haste to help Reza without being able to transform because his Bima Changer was damaged, causing Reza to panic. But Ray's unyielding determination allowed him to access the true power of Bima and was reborn as Bima-X, which relieved Reza.

When fighting with Bachyura, Reza realized that fighting alongside his brother didn't mean he had to stay near him. Reza went to look for the Power Stones which disappeared after the battle with Rasputin.

As the series progresses, It can be said that Reza trained himself to become stronger without the need to evolve, like Ray did into Bima-X. It is proven that he can match Lady Mossa and Iron Mask Reborn, and create new moves. However, from the bottom of his heart it can be seen that Reza has jealousy towards Ray because of his strength, seen in the episode "Prologue" where he trains hard alone.

Early in Bima-X, Reza went to look for the remaining Power Stones and would help Ray when he couldn't fight alone. After the appearance of Dimas Aksara (aka Torga), gathering all seven Power Stones, and recreating another Dimensional Portal, Reza handed over the task of helping Ray to Dimas and went to the World of VUDO to find his parents who were trapped there.

In the midst of his quest, he encountered Kou, who granted him the power that later allowed him to summon God Taranis. He also managed to defeat Karax and save his biological parents despite being disturbed by Zacros, who he defeated. However, this successful rescue came with bad news: the Black Lord intended to unite the two worlds with a synthetic Power Stone.

In the final battle against the Black Lord, he died due to his desperate attempt to absorb the dark energy of the Black Lord, which was later revealed to be an incarnation of darkness in a parallel world and was destroyed by another part of him. At that time, everyone including the Black Lord thought that Reza was dead, but it turned out that the Black Power Stone managed to save him at the last moment by absorbing his soul, so that when the Black Lord disintegrated Reza, he actually destroyed Reza's empty body. Shortly after Ray used the Black Power Stone, he learned what the Black Power Stone had done to Reza to save the owner's life because the Power Stone brought Reza and Ray together for a while before it and the owner left after the fight ended.

Satria Heroes: Revenge of Darkness

In the movie, thanks to the power of the Black Power Stone, Reza returned with a new body so that he could return in time to help Ray and Dimas face Osiris, even to the point of giving Ray his strength to become Bima-X Ultimate Dark Mode. But when Ultimate Dark Mode wasn't enough to help, the hopeful power of the residents of Jakarta gave them new strength to unite Taranis, Helios, and Atlas into a new, Griffon-like creature to defeat Osiris.

After the battle ended, Reza immediately left Ray. But he had turned and bowed his head to give a sign that he would always help Ray when Ray was in trouble, no matter where Reza had to go. He then disappeared, making a sign that he could create his body from the power of the Black Power Stone.

Trivia

• He is somewhat similar to Shadow Moon from Kamen Rider Black RX: Both are brothers of the main characters, and both were brainwashed by villains (Shadow Moon by the Crisis Empire, Azazel by VUDO).
  • But the difference is that Azazel gained his redemption later in the series.
