Rider Gashats

The Rider Gashats (ライダーガシャット) are devices similar to video game cartridges used by the Riders in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

Overview
The Rider Gashats were designed and created by Genm Corp. CEO Kuroto Dan for use in the Gamer Driver, with the purpose of combating the Bugsters. They were initially created in a line of 10 Gashats based on 10 Genm Corp. video games, and were distributed to suitable doctors to be used to transform into Kamen Riders who would directly combat the dangerous manifestations of the Bugster Virus. The first of these included Taiga Hanaya, Kamen Rider Snipe, and Hiiro Kagami, Kamen Rider Brave.

Each Bugster originates from one of the Proto Gashats (プロトガシャット), the original prototypes of the 10 Gashats. As such, victims of the Bugster Virus who die of their infection are stored as data inside their Bugsters' respective Proto Gashats. As evidenced by the case of Kiriya Kujo, Riders who Game Over and die are stored in the Proto version of their primary transformation Gashat.

Kuroto Dan's exact conception of the original Proto Gashats is unclear, but is is known that the Bugsters, Gashats, and Riders were all manipulated by him for the purpose of creating the "ultimate game", a plan he conceived upon the initial genesis of the Bugster Virus during.

Functionality
Basic Rider Gashats are inserted into the Gamer Driver by a person who is vaccinated for the Bugster Virus to transform into a Level 1 Kamen Rider, the form used to battle a Bugster Union. Once the Bugster Union is defeated, Level 2 is accessed by pulling the Gamer Driver's lever. A second Rider Gashat can be inserted into the Gamer Driver's second slot to access higher level forms, such as Level 3, 4, or 5, depending on the Gashat. Gashats can be used in the Driver's Kimewaza Slot Holder to trigger a Critical Strike finisher, or in a Gashacon Weapon to trigger a Critical Finish finisher. Activating a Gashat will summon a Game Area with Energy Item containers based on the Gashat's game in a wave of digitization. This and the Gamer Driver's Stage Select option, which can literally teleport game participants, even those not currently present, are likely what Ayumu was sensing when he identified Rider Gashats as devices "with the power to change the world".

Collabos Bugsters are able to utilize Rider Gashats to gain armor based on the Gashat's game. The exact origin and purpose of these Bugsters is unknown.

The Proto Gashats can be used in the same way as their later iterations to access gray (or black and purple, in the case of Genm) prototype Rider forms, as demonstrated by Proto Mighty Action X, Proto Shakariki Sports, and Proto Jet Combat, as well as a variety of forms seen in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing. Additionally, if a Bugster comes into possession of their Proto Gashat of origin, they can use it to gain great power. Graphite demonstrates this ability by activating the Proto Drago Knight Hunter Z Gashat and stabbing it into his body, transforming him into Dark Graphite. While possessing unlimited power, the Proto Gashats are said to be dangerous to use, as they can have harmful side effects to a person after prolonged exposure. A person who has not undergone the Gamer Driver compatibility surgery may even experience.

However, unlike humans, when Bugsters use Proto Gashats, they don't seem to cause side effects to their bodies. This is shown when Kiriya, revived as Lazer Turbo, used Proto Shakariki Sports and Proto Jet Combat, or when Kuroto, revived as a Bugster and used the origin version of Proto Mighty Action X for multiple times in the series, yet no side effects were caused.

According to Kuroto after his sudden revival, those who had been succumbed and vanished by the virus had been stored into the Proto Gashats as "saved data". The Ministry of Health had been monitoring the Proto Gashats after they raided Kuroto's hideout, but was later reportedly stolen and is now under the possession of Masamune. After Kiriya Kujo is revived as Masamune's left-hand man, he gains the latter's trust, before stealing back the Proto Gashats for CR.

Later on, after Masamune used Reset to reset time, the Proto Gashats (besides the ones Kiriya used for his combo forms) were returned back to him once more. However, after his demise, the Proto Gashats were back in CR's possession, with Emu promising that one day in the future, their technology for fighting the Game Disease will be advanced enough to retrieve the data of the lost ones that succumbed to said disease.

The Gashatrophies (ガシャットロフィー) are variants of the Gashats, which can be won by players of Kamen Rider Chronicle for beating a Bugster.
