Calendius (カレンデウス Karendeusu) is a flower-themed Dress Guard of the No One World Bridan, piloted by Bouquet.
Overview
An exclusive-type Dress Guard for Bouquet that uses a specialized acrobatic-based combat, wielding the Calende Shot and Calenda Knife in the process, and charming Bouquet's opponents while fighting.
History
Calendius is deployed by Bouquet to aid Popular No.1; its own cockpit is filled with Rikuo Byakuya merchandise after Bouquet's recent infatuation with the idol. It faced off against the newly debuted TegaSword Blue, which Bouquet was unaware was being piloted by Rikuo, and engaged in a gun duel using its Calende Shot. However, it was shot and knocked over, and, to Bouquet's dismay, a signed photo of Rikuo was torn in half by the impact. Bouquet flew into a rage over this, switching to the Calenda Knife, and gradually pushed back TegaSword Blue. Shortly after, TegaSword Blue blasted a metal frame, causing Calendius to topple over. Calendius is then finished off by the TegaSword: Sparkling Lion Meteor Shower.
