Lockseeds



Lockseeds (ロックシード) are mysterious devices that are the source of the Gaim Riders' powers. They all have powers associated with fruit. Lockseeds can grow on trees, assuming the shape of a flower first.

The Inves love Lockseed flowers, regarding them as their favorite food. However if an Inves in its Berserker State consumes a mature Lockseed, then that Inves will evolve into a more powerful form. In Inves Games, people use mature Lockseeds to summon Inves to do battle.

When a person wearing a Sengoku/Genesis Driver picks Lockseed flowers, they will quickly turn into an A-S type mature Lockseeds.

Classes
Matured Lockseeds are given ranks, from D to A, but it is unknown if either the number of the Lockseed, the rarity of such a Lockseed being found, or a combination of the two makes the Lockseed's ranking.

An A-Classed Lockseeds are unbreakable, which is useful for both transformation as an Armored Rider or to summon a high classed Inves. One drawback is the Inves is in its Berserker State, and if said Inves consumes its own A-class Lockseed, it will evolve into an stronger form of itself called Evolved Inves.

Legend Rider Lockseeds
Listed as movie sets in some sources, the Legend Rider Lockseeds contain the power of a Kamen Rider. The first set contains the Wizard & W Lockseeds and the second set is the OOO & Fourze Lockseeds. What's interesting about these sets is that they will give the Riders a special kind of armor.

These new armors for the Riders are not yet confirmed if they will be exclusive to the Ganbaride machines or will appear in either the actual TV series or the next Movie Wars film. These sets will be released in December.


 * Double Lockseed (Ｗ(ダブル)ロックシード)
 * OOO Lockseed (オーズロックシード)
 * Fourze Lockseed (フォーゼロックシード)
 * Wizard Lockseed (ウィザードロックシード)

Other Lockseeds

Portrayal
The voice of Lockseeds and the Sengoku Driver is provided by Hōchū Ōtsuka (大塚 芳忠), who is also the narrator of Gaim as well as previously voicing the Imagin Deneb in Kamen Rider Den-O.

Conception
An interview with Kamen Rider Gaim producer Naomi Takabe in Hyper Hobby revealed the inspiration for the Lockseeds arising in early design meetings, with the sentences “Opening a new world” and “Unlocking potential” in mind. After some research it was decided that locks were the best choice, being something that has never been used in Kamen Rider. This decision was made at a very early point, with Takabe noting that they had no idea what the story was even going to be like then.
