Leo (555)

Kamen Rider Psyga (仮面ライダーサイガ, Kamen Raidā Saiga?) is a fictional character in the Japanese television series, Kamen Rider 555. It was the 5th Rider Gear produced for Kamen Rider 555, and appeared only in the movie "Paradise Lost."

Kamen Rider Psyga exists in a world where the Orphenochs have taken over the planet and the humans are slowly being exterminated. The Psyga Gear was recorded as the fifth Rider Gear created by Smart Brain, after the Faiz, Kaixa, and Delta Gears were stolen by the humans and the Riot Trooper gear had undergone mass-production. Created alongside the Orga Gear, the Psyga Gear is regarded as a "perfect" gear, and therefore it can only be worn by Orphenochs. Psyga appeared to be as fast and strong as the existing gears, matching Kamen Rider Faiz Accel Form for speed and Kaixa for strength. Because the weapons appear once the armor is formed and were created based on trial data from the previous gears, it possesses much greater functionality and ability than the previous riders.



The Psyga Gear is worn by Leo, a foreigner Orphenoch who speaks coherent English and is supposedly under the personal supervision of Kyoji Murakami (Rose Orphenoch) himself. For some unknown reason, he has the Smart Brain logo tattooed on his back.

He never transforms into his Orphenoch form, unless one would count the "tentacle finger" he used to kill Masato Kusaka (Kamen Rider Kaixa) after knocking him out of the Kaixa Gear. (It is understood, however, that all Orphenochs can create tentacles from any body part.) He used the gear a total of 4 times throughout the movie. He was destroyed along with the Psyga Gear by Kamen Rider Faiz when Faiz hits the Faiz Edge through the Gear itself, destroying it and turning the transformed Leo to dust along with it.

Abilities
The Psyga Gear gives the wearer the following abilities when they transform.

* Punch: 3.5 Tons of pressure * Kick: 9 Tons of pressure * Jump: 35m * Run: 100m / 5.8 seconds

Armor Information
The Psyga Armor has several key features in its design. Unlike the Gear, the armor does not exist until the wearer transforms.

* Full Metal Lung: The chest armor of the Rider provides the most protection, being able to withstand light Anti-tank weaponry.

* Psyga Core: In the center of the Full Metal Lung is a large glowing purple dome. This is the primary reservoir of Photon Blood.

* Global Feeler: The antenna on the Rider’s head can be used to communicate with the Smart Brain Satellite and the Smart Brain computer network.

* Photon Blood: A glowing substance that provides all of the Rider’s powers and generates all of the physical features of the armor. The Photon Blood is generated from the Psyga Driver. On a note, the Psyga Gear produces two times more Photon Blood than Faiz usually do.

* Photon Streams Ver.2: The path that the Photon Blood travels through the Rider’s armor. This advanced version of the regular "Photon Streams" was installed in the Emperor Belt in order to better deal with the great amount of "Photon Blood" that the Gear produces. Psyga's path is blue and follows an irregular pattern (unlike the other gears) which gives Psyga's "Photon Streams" a light resemblance with real blood veins.

* Photon Terminals: Where the Photon Streams connect with the gauntlets and greaves.

* Luna Foam/Metal: Soft parts of the armor are made of Luna Foam, and the hard parts are made of Luna Metal. This substance is generated by the Psyga Driver to form complex machinery that is powered by Photon Blood. If the Foam or Metal are damaged, the armor switches off and resets itself. Aside from being white in color, Luna Foam and Metal doesn't seem to differ too much from Sol Foam and Metal.

* Sky High Finder: The large eyepieces of the Rider give them incredible vision. They can see in darkness with no problems and have a limited amount of x-ray vision.

Psyga Gear
The Psyga Gear is an advanced belt and cell phone developed by the Smart Brain corporation under the codename of Emperor Belt of Heaven. When activated by the Mission Memory they activate the Psyga armor. The Gear is usually stored inside Smart Brain headquarters along with the Orga Gear while not in use. Unlike the original 3 rider gears, Psyga has no external parts attached to the belt that turn into weapons. Instead, Psyga's weapons materialize once the armor has been activated.

* Psyga Mission Memory: A small metallic card key with the Psyga symbol on it. When this device is inserted into the Psyga gear, it turns them into powerful weaponry, also allowing the weapon to “EXCEED CHARGE” after pressing enter on the Psyga phone.

* SB-315B Psyga Driver: A high tech looking belt that generates the photon streams for the Kamen Rider armor. If the belt is removed, the armor disappears.

* SB-315F Flying Attacker: A high-tech backpack worn by Psyga. It provides Psyga with flight capabilities (including the ability to hover) with a maximum speed of 820 km/h. It allows Psyga to perform the "Cobalt Smash", Psyga's Rider Kick, or "Sky Impact", Psyga's Rider Punch and equivalent to the Faiz and Kaixa Shot. It can also convert to "Blaster Rifle Mode" where the main engines fold down and out to become high powered laser cannons, though the Flying Attacker's flight speed is greatly reduced in this mode. It works in either "Single Mode", where it can fire 120 rounds per second, or in "Burst Mode" where it discharges one single high-powered shot from both engines. The Flying Attacker is an optional component to Psyga and therefore is not necessary to the transformation.

* 'SB-315T Psyga Tonfa Edge: A pair of bladed tonfa used by Psyga in battle. They serve as the primary weapons for Psyga and can "EXCEED CHARGE" to execute the "Tonfa Edge EX" attack.

* SB-315P Psyga Phone: This phone is a transgenerator, the control unit of the Psyga Gear and also the primary storage place for the Psyga Mission Memory. The Psyga phone's design was based on the Faiz Phone design. It is assumed to be capable of functioning as a normal phone as well.

Psyga Command Codes
The Psyga Gear has several command codes that can be punched into the Psyga Phone to perform different functions. All of these codes require the Psyga Phone and Psyga Driver.

* [3][1][5][ENTER]: After entering the code the Psyga Phone will say “STANDING BY”. When the Psyga Phone is inserted into Psyga Driver slot, it will say “COMPLETE”. The wearer will then be transformed into Kamen Rider Psyga if they have enough Orphenoch DNA; otherwise there will be an "ERROR" and the Psyga Driver will violently eject from the wearer. Leo had a habit of tossing the Psyga phone into the air and catching it just before inserting the phone into the driver; it is unknown if this was part of the henshin sequence. Also, even though he speaks English, he still chants "henshin" before changing into Psyga instead of "transform".

* [1][0][3][ENTER]: When the Psyga Phone is turned into Phone Blaster and this code is entered, it will say “SINGLE MODE”. The Blaster can fire a continuous beam of Photon Energy for about 3 seconds. It has 12 shots until it must be recharged.

* [1][0][6][ENTER]: When the Psyga Phone is turned into Phone Blaster and this code is entered, it will say “BURST MODE”. The Blaster can fire 3 round bursts of Photon Energy. It has 4 bursts until it must be recharged.

* [2][7][9][ENTER]: If the Phone Blaster is empty and this code is entered, it will say “CHARGE” and will proceed to recharge the weapon. This takes about 5 seconds.

* [End Call]: Pressing the "End Call" button will switch off the Psyga Driver and cause the Luna Foam and Luna Metal to disappear.
