Realizing his father spent his career trying to find a cure for the "MonsterShifter" phenomenon, Raki vows to continue his father's research and cure the "MonsterShifters".

Trivia

 * Despite sharing the same (Japanese) name, the Raki Tamino of MonsterShifters was stated to be the son of the Raki Tamino/Justin Mel of Monster Coins.
 * The English dub of MonsterShifters would be the first time in a Studio Aura anime that the name "Raki Tamino" was kept the same upon being dubbed in English, as all entries of Monster Coins changed the protagonist's name to "Justin Mel" for consistency reasons.
 * However, in the dub Raki's middle name is "Mel" as a reference to his father's name change in Monster Coins.
