The Bana Spear (バナスピアー, Banasupiā) is the Armored Rider Arms Weapon granted either by accessing Banana Arms or via the summoning ability of Kiwami Arms. It is a small lance that resembles a peeled banana. In Episode 46, Kouta breaks a half of Kaito's Bana Spear, and stabs him with it.

Design

The Bana Spear consists of the following parts:

• Spear Head (スピアーヘッド, Supiā Heddo): is the frontal head tip of the Bana Spear. It is slightly larger than the Pulp Shaft, and its destructive power is increased when accelerated, giving out maximum power at the point of impact.
• Pulp Shaft (パルプシャフト, Parupu Shafuto): is the tip/shaft of the Bana Spear. It becomes a powerful blowing weapon when spun around by the Rider.
• Bana Keel (バナキール, Bana Kīru): is the black frame of the Bana Spear that is visible when the Pulp Shaft separates from the Pulp Base.
• Pulp Base (パルプベース, Parupu Bēsu): is the base of the Bana Spear's shaft that connects it to the handle. It has a compression mechanism incorporated into it that allows the Pulp Shaft to extend.
• Burn Plate Peel (バンプレートピール, Ban Purēto Pīru): is the banana peel-like handguard on the Bana Spear. It is curved to allow impact force to escape, lessening impact recoil on the Rider's hand.
• Branch Stalk (ブランチストック, Buranchi Sutokku): is the grip of the Bana Spear.

  • Baron firing serval banana-shaped energy projection in few seconds.
  • Baron smashes down his enemy with a giant banana-shaped energy projection from the Bana Spear.
  • Baron destroys multiple enemies in the air with a giant banana-shaped energy projection from the Bana Spear.
• Au Lait: Baron smashes down his enemy with a giant banana-shaped energy projection from the Bana Spear. When stabbed into the ground, however, the energy travels along the ground for a bit before rocketing back up in the familiar banana-shaped projecting, skewering whatever is in its path.
• Sparking: Baron stabs the Bana Spear into the ground, creating multiple banana-shaped projections which hit an opponent several times from below. This also provides as a defensive wall against incoming attacks.

Notes

• Its design is similar to the Dice Saber, the weapon of the previous series' secondary Rider, Kamen Rider Beast.
  • It is also similar to the Winglancer of Kamen Rider Knight, as they both are spears usually wield by the Secondary Kamen Rider with a knight motif.
• This is the first Arms Weapon to be a lance, followed by the Suika Arms Lance.
• This is the first Arms Weapon that is shown to execute all three of the Sengoku Driver's finisher functions (Squash, Au Lait, and Sparking).
• Out of all Bana Spear users, Black Baron is the only one who initiates a different variant of the Spear Victory, which had its banana energy construct colored purple instead of yellow. This can be a reference to rotten bananas, which appears to be black, referring to Shura being a person rotten to the heart.
• The Bana Spear would evidently also be the Arms Weapon of the hypothetical Baron Arms granted by the Baron Lockseed, which is exclusive to the DX toyline. Indeed, by performing the Au Lait function on the DX Sengoku Driver, the inserted Baron Rider Lockseed makes the announcement, Bana Spear!.
