The Barid Shield (バリッドシールド,Bariddo Shīrudo) is the shield-like weapon that was used by Kamen Rider Vice to protect both himself and Kamen Rider Revi from any attacks. It later become the formal weapon of Kamen Rider Vice Barid Rex Genome.
The Barid Shield is technically an unofficial piece of equipment. George Karizaki initially refused to give Vice his own Barid Rex Genome out of spite, due to Vice insulting his pride by criticizing the design of the earlier Jackal Genome. When Vice discovered this, he hastily took the pieces of "eggshell" left over from Revi's first transformation and glued them together, at which point they formed the Barid Shield. When Karizaki eventually relented and gave Vice his own version of Barid Rex, the shield was made its official weapon.
It can be used to project a bigger energy shield capable of protecting a small group for a short period of time, or to make a temporary platform for the use of another Rider, like Revi.
According to the technical specifications, the Barid Shield was designed to be a defense unit that can levitate around the user via a magnetic field, as well as adapt to multiple combat situations by separating into multiple pieces and connecting back together at will, building an effective defense formation. However, at present, there seems to be a problem with the separation function for some reason, likely due to the pieces being held together by glue during Vice's first usage. Also, by converging energy at ultra-high density, it can be used as a weapon that expands the range of protection and produces attack power comparable to a Rider Kick.[1]
Volcano Festival (ボルケーノフェスティバル,Borukēno Fuesutibaru): This finisher has three variations.
Revi and Vice fly into the air, avoiding an enemy's attack in the process. As they fly, Vice uses the Barid Shield to defend Revi from more attacks and separates the shield into flying pieces to provide wider protection. A red projection of the Volcano Vistamp's seal and a light blue projection of the Barid Rex Vistamp's seal appear behind the two Riders before they both deliver flying kicks covered in purple and blue energy. The kicks produce orange and blue energy upon coming into contact with a ranged attack from the enemy. The two Riders then empower themselves, with Revi first covering his body in fire before Vice is surrounded by cold air and shards of ice. Their elemental powers combine to strengthen the kicks, with the surrounding energy becoming multicolored in the process, before breaking through the enemy's projectile. The kicks break through the opponent's body upon impact, producing more multicolored energy before the two Riders land behind the enemy.
Revi delivers several punches covered in fire, creating a burst of orange energy upon each impact. At the same time, Vice bashes the enemy with the Barid Shield before punching them, with each attack covered in cold air and creating a burst of blue energy upon each impact. For their final attack, Revi and Vice both punch the enemy at each time.

Finifini Finish + Volcano Stamping Slash: The Barid Shield glows before Vice inhales and blows a stream of cold air across it, covering the surface of the shield in ice. Vice continues directing the cold air past the shield, forming a blade of ice. Revi and Vice jump into the air, with Revi wielding the Ohinbuster50 as its blade is covered in fire. A red projection of the Volcano Vistamp's seal and a light blue projection of the Barid Rex Vistamp's seal appear behind the two Riders before they each deliver a slash, with Revi performing a slash of fire and Vice performing a slash of ice. The flames from Revi's slash form into a fire tornado around the enemy before both the fire and opponent are encased in a column of ice. Revi then deliver another simultaneous slash to the ice column, with Revi performing a red energy slash and Vice performing a light blue energy slash, shattering the ice.
Karizaki originally tolerates the Barid Shield as Vice's way of compensating for his initial lack of Barid Rex Genome.[2] By the time Vice received said form, Karizaki considers it as an unnecessary addition, since Barid Rex itself is already emphasizing on defensive capabilities and adding the shield would only make it an "overkill".[3][4]
