*"This World Is Mine"*
―Orteca Before Transforming into Kamen Rider Demons
*"The World... Wasn't Mine."*
―Orteca Before His death
**Orteca** (オルテカ, *Oruteka*), formerly known as **Makoto Hatsushiba** (初芝 真, *Hatsushiba Makoto*), was an executive and acting leader of the Deadmans who operated a plan on the revival of Giff and transformed into the **Daiouika Deadman** (ダイオウイカ・デッドマン, *Daiōika Deddoman*) using the Daiouika Proto Vistamp. After being separated from his demon side, he was reverted to a human and seized the Demons Driver to become the second **Kamen Rider Demons** (仮面ライダーデモンズ, *Kamen Raidā Demonzu*). After losing the Demons Driver to George Karizaki, he used the Anomalocaris Proto Vistamp to become the **Anomalocaris Deadman** (アノマロカリス・デッドマン, *Anomarokarisu Deddoman*). Despite his power, he was defeated by Kamen Rider Revice and met his end when he was absorbed by Giff so that the latter could awaken.

## History

Makoto Hatsushiba was a once child prodigy whose intelligence led to him feeling isolated, and he was abused by his father after he proved himself smarter than him. In his darkest hour, he was approached by Hideo Akaishi who offered him the power to change humanity's future. After witnessing Giff for the first time, Hatsushiba became ecstatic at the sight of his true goal, to evolve humanity and transcend it past its foolishness.

Hatsushiba abandoned his own morals and became known as "Orteca". At some point after joining the cult, Orteca would awaken and fuse with his inner demon to become a Gifftex. During the Deadmans' raid at the Fenix Genome Laboratory, Orteca as the Daiouika Deadman was present that night and seized the majority of Vistamps.

### The Deadmans Crisis

Orteca, along with Aguilera and Julio, were first seen leading the Deadmans' rally by using the Vistamps to summon Giff Juniors from their cult followers who cheered for them. Orteca participated in the attack on the Fenix ceremony with their army of Giff Juniors. The Deadmans march forward to declare their intentions to create hell on Earth, before the executives made their leave. In the end, Ikki Igarashi managed to contract with his demon, Vice, in order to become Kamen Riders Revi and Vice to combat them.

Orteca become involved handing out Vistamps to potential new followers, seeking to create more Deadmen to sacrifice in order to resurrect their leader Giff. As a criterion for sacrifice candidates, he often targets those who are dissatisfied with their lives or possess darkness at the bottom of their hearts. While scouting and inviting for new followers, Orteca sometimes fights Revice as the Daiouika Deadman.

### Kamen Rider Revice: The Movie

Orteca as the Diaouka Deadman led the Giff Juniors to terrorizing a theme park and search for those to join his cause. Once Kamen Rider Revice intercepted him, the Daiouika Deadman was forced to evacuate. However, he succeeded in finding a worthy follower and granted him the Spider Proto Vistamp.

### Gathering The Giftex

While he and his accomplices continue to spawn more Deadmans for their cause, the Deadmans would come across the mysterious Kamen Rider Evil, Kagero. The Deadmans would form a temporary alliance with Kagero out of shared interests, working together to implode the Igarashi family. As new Kamen Riders are produced to oppose the Deadmans, this pushed them to continue gathering more Giftex by recruiting Yasushi Kudo and Amahiko Haitani to their cause.

### Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations

Orteca, along with his fellow Deadmans executives, venture into an old Shocker base to release the demon Diablo. They also carry the Crisper Stamps, containing the genetic information of historical figures. The Deadmans joined along Diablo's plan to enact world domination. This led to Fenix's Kamen Riders joining forces with the Sword of Logos, and Diablo would be vanquished by their combined forces.

### The Giff Ceremony

With the Deadmans close to obtain six Giftex, Orteca secretly teamed up with other sacrifices except Julio, to restrain Aguleria. He revealed his true colors and that Aguilera is the last untainted sacrifice to resurrect Giff. As the ceremony was carried out with the others, Fenix began raiding the Deadmans' hideout and the Orteca was forced to battle the Kamen Riders. He stunned Julio with his tentacles, who wanted to rescue Aguilera, but was eventually defeated by Kamen Rider Live. The Deadmans' base was also destroyed by Kamen Rider Revice.

With Giff seemingly destroyed, Orteca was subdued by Fenix until Julio attacked him. Orteca then became the Daiouika Deadman and pushed Julio aside. He was forced to see Aguilera transforming into the Queen Bee Deadman, desecrating her from being Giff's pure vessel. Orteca later escaped with the Chameleon Deadman. With Aguilera and Julio out of the picture, Orteca was the only one to control of the Deadmans. Afterwards, the Chameleon Deadman asked how he sold his soul to Deadmans, and revealed his hidden ambition to conquer the world.

### Reassembling the Deadmans

With the Giff Stamp in his possession, Orteca began rallying the rest of the scattered Deadmans followers. He started stamping up his followers and became Gifftarians, which have proven to be formidable foes who cannot be separated from the consumed host. This led Ikki Igarashi to access the power of Volcano Rex Vistamp in an attempt to stop him. Orteca could not help express his distain to Julio for siding with Aguilera, by turning his best friend Yosuke Okuda into a Gifftarian, much to Julio's anguish.

After Chigusa Yamagiri infiltrated the Deadmans, Orteca revealed to her Fenix's true goals and persuaded her to defect to their side. Orteca had Chigusa feed Fenix information to draw them into an ambush and lure Hiromi to seize the Demons Driver. Once Hiromi realized the true nature of the Demons Driver, he went to confront Orteca and Chigusa. Orteca would turn Chigusa into a Gifftarian to attack Hiromi. He then battled the Kamen Riders assisted by Aguilera and Julio, resulting in him seemingly losing the Giff Stamp and being apprehended by Fenix, only for him to flash a smirk as he was led away.

### Becoming Kamen Rider Demons

After being taken into custody by Fenix, Orteca was able to escape with the assistance of Fenix director Hideo Akaishi and gave him the Giff Stamp. He deliberately allowed himself to be arrested by Fenix to seize the Demons Driver. Orteca transformed into Demons, which allowed him to draw out its potential far beyond Hiromi Kadota's usage. After defeating the Igarashi siblings and knocking Hiromi off the cliff. He declared himself as the new Kamen Rider Demons before leaving. Aguilera would later offer a truce to work together to revive Giff.

Wanting to raise the Demons Driver's true potential, Orteca kidnapped George Karizaki to strengthen the belt. However, this incidentally allowed the demon within the Demons Driver, Vail to be temporarily released from the belt. After Vail returned, Orteca attained the Demons Driver's true power through the Anomalocaris Proto Vistamp, but suffered a humiliating defeat from Kamen Rider Holy Live. In the end, he would lose the Demons Driver in the process.

### Final Battle and Death

*"The world... wasn't mine..."*
―Orteca's final words before his death.

With Giff being close to resurrecting, Orteca continued creating human sacrifices to feed his master. While Kamen Riders Holy Live and Jeanne arrived to confront him, they were blindsided by a rampant Jack Revice, only managing to subdue him with Karizaki's assistance after the latter became Demons. Orteca took advantage of the Anomalocaris Proto Vistamp to merge with Giff, becoming the Anomalocaris Deadman. Although he became a frightening opponent against the Kamen Riders, Orteca was finally defeated when Ikki and Vice joined together to become Kamen Rider Revice. After being separated by Giff, he was suddenly caught within its grasp. Realizing his fate, Orteca lamented that he wasn't able to rule the world, but remembered the times he had with Aguilera and Julio, before being completely consumed by Giff.

## Other Events

### Kamen Rider Saber

One night, Orteca as the Daiouika Deadman came across a man named Junpei and granted him the Batta Proto Vistamp to manifest the Batta Deadman. He promises him that it will make his bonds with his childhood friends stronger. Although it created the Batta Deadman, it promptly attacked two friends instead. However, the Batta Deadman was vanquished by Kamen Riders Saber and Espada with the help of Revi and Vice.

## Personality

Soft-spoken and calculated, Orteca is the most level-headed member of Deadmans. Rarely phased by anything, he is quick to adapt to changing circumstances rather than becoming frustrated when things do not go according to plan. Orteca is also a very manipulative person and uses his charming nature to recruit people to create Deadmen. Unlike Julio and most other people, Orteca is not afraid of speaking to Aguilera in a way that can be considered disrespectful as he would also mock her as she mourns Giff, insulting her position and purpose in the Deadmans. Orteca is also shown to be very secretive even to his allies, as he didn't reveal the truth about Giff's revival to Aguilera and Julio until they finally retrieve the Giff Stamp.

After Orteca gained possession of the Giff Stamp, he has become much more heartless and cruel, showing no regret nor remorse in sacrificing his own allies into becoming Gifftarians. His arrogance became more uncontrollable ever since he lost his Gifftex powers and became Kamen Rider Demons. Due to his own lust for power, he kidnapped George Karizaki solely for the purpose of making him unlock more of the Demons Driver's potential. Ironically, this would contribute to Orteca's own downfall as it would result in Vail escaping and betraying him, who later awoke to its true powers.

In reality, Orteca under his birth name 'Makoto' had suffered abuse and harassment from his father and scholastic peers due to his intelligence and opposing beliefs, which is exemplified by his resentment towards society. Orteca holds a self-infatuated opinion of himself which said "self-infatuated opinion of himself" hides his deep-seated self-loathing inferiority complex which Orteca's deep-seated self-loathing inferiority complex is what was motivating his sadistic and ambitious actions to rule the world which would have been a way to prove his worth to the society that deemed him to be a monster as well as a way to exact his revenge against those who robbed him of his individuality aspirations and humanity. Sadly it was not meant to be as Orteca at the height of folly was hoisted by his own petard which said "petard" thwarted his self-indulgent desires for world adulation.

In what could be seen as his last moments, he remembered the times he had with Aguilera and Julio despite his negative treatment of them, possibly truly seeing them as those who really did understand him as he was being consumed by Giff.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Deadman Transformation**: Using the Daiouika Proto Vistamp, Orteca is able to transform into the Daiouika Deadman. After he was defeated by Revice and his Deadman form was absorbed by Giff, he was reverted to a normal human. He later regained the ability after using the Anomalocaris Proto Vistamp to transform into the Anomalocaris Deadman.

### Abilities

* **High-Level Intellect**: Since childhood, Orteca possessed an intelligence level that far exceeded the average adult, as he was capable of "teaching" his teachers highly complex mathematical equations easily.

By covering his hand in red energy, Demons can split enemy projectiles and enhance his punches. After having George unlock the Demons Driver's full potential, Demons can launch balls of purple acid or create duplicates of the small spider that appears during his transformation and fire them as spinning projectiles.

Orteca's usage of Demons is much more powerful than Hiromi's, allowing him to fight Revi Volcano Genome, Vice Barid Genome, and Jeanne simultaneously and defeat them. In addition, Orteca does not suffer any adverse effects from using the Demons Driver and is able to perform a Genomix using multiple Vistamps.

## Deadmen Created

* Batta Deadman
* Kamakiri Deadman
* Megalodon Deadman
* Spider Deadman
* Gifftarian (x11)

## Behind the Scenes

### Portrayal

* Orteca is portrayed by Hayata Seki (関 隼汰, *Seki Hayata*). As a child, he is portrayed by Takeru Ishida (石田 偉琉, *Ishida Takeru*). As the Daiouika Deadman, Kamen Rider Demons and Anomalocaris Deadman, his suit actor is Shogo Teramoto (寺本 翔悟, *Teramoto Shōgo*).

### Etymology

* Orteca's name likely combines the names of the Aztecs (Spanish: *Az**teca***), the ones who made Chichen Itza and are known for their sacrificial rituals, and the Olmecs (Spanish: ***Ol**meca*), the creators of the famous stone heads.

## Notes

* Orteca's squid motif is an homage to Dr. Shinigami, one of the first two Shocker generals from the 1971 *Kamen Rider* TV series.
* According to an interview by Taku Mochizuki in Toei Hero MAX, Orteca was originally set up as a dark doctor.
* According to designer Masato Hisa, Daiouika Deadman's design also includes a goat and narwhal aesthetic to reflect his demon motif.
* His weapon Paranegro is a portmanteau of ***para**guas* (umbrella in Spanish) & ***negro*** (black in the same language).
* Orteca becoming Kamen Rider Demons harkens back to his first in-media appearance in *Kamen Rider Revice: The Movie*, where he is shown passing on the Spider Proto Vistamp.
* The Anomalocaris Deadman is a complete repaint and slight retool of the Daiouika Deadman, tying to the fact that both Deadmen share a contract with the same host.
