==History==
===Background===
 was the last Roidmude created by Tenjuro Banno and was among the armada to march his brethren during the events of Global Freeze. However by August of 2015, 108 had been imprisoned by the other Roidmudes and deactivated due to his dark behavior.
He would reawaken sometime before 2035 after the Roidmudes have successfully conquered the world. Roidmude 108 would engage with a battle against Eiji Tomari, the future Kamen Rider Drive. He defeated his opponent and stolen his Drive Driver to become Drive, renaming it as "Kamen Rider Dark Drive". Operating the NEXTridoron, he used the Time Road to travel back in time to create an eternal Global Freeze.
===The Paradox Roidmude===
Upon arriving in 2015, Roidmude 108 began to manipulate Shinnosuke Tomari to destroy the Drive Driver, taking advantage from the knowledge of Krim's destructive disorder during that period. To do that he assumed Eiji Tomari's guise and employed the Future Roidmudes to attack the Kamen Riders. He also took advantage of Drive Type Next's autopilot function to attack the present Drive. After faking his death to despair Shinnosuke, "Eiji" revealed his true colors after he had destroyed Krim and admitted his identity as Roidmude 108.
The Roidmude 108 from 2035 began to search for his 2015 counterpart to merge themselves to create the eternal Global Freeze. While he continues to assume the role as Kamen Rider Dark Drive to assure Shinnosuke won't get in his way. Roidmude 108 succeeded in his goal and his fusion with his past self created the Paradox Roidmude. As he attempted to unleash a powerful Heavy Acceleration, his efforts were foiled when Shinnosuke restarted his Drive Driver with the Tridoron Key and used his son's Shift Car to assume Drive Type Special, using the form to vanquish Paradox for good.
===Post-mortem===
Upon his destruction, Paradox was added to the Eradicated Roidmude Table. Two years after the Roidmudes' shutdown, the 108 Roidmudes' fragmented data would lead to the emergence of the amalgamation Roidmude 5886.

==Notes==
*The identity of Dark Drive was the subject of mystery in the run-up to the premiere of Surprise Future, with a trailer following the Drive episode airing on the Sunday before the film's release offering six suspects: Go Shijima, Krim Steinbelt, Chase, Kiriko Shijima, Eiji Tomari, and Shinji Koba. Ultimately, it turned out to be technically both Krim and Eiji, but in reality neither of them due to the Paradox Roidmude disguising as them.
*The usage of Drive Driver requires compatibility with its user. Meaning, when 108 stole Eiji's identity, he also stole his compatibility.
*Paradox Roidmude, as his name suggests, is itself a paradox, as his own destruction in the past altered the future, negating his future self's existence, thus preventing him from traveling back to the present and evolving into his advanced form in the first place.
*Paradox Roidmude is the only Drive Rider to have a A.R. World counterpart, or otherwise.
