Forms[]
The Gamma are created from the Gamma Eyecons (ガンマアイコン, Ganma Aikon), with this one having merged with a book.
This Eyecon is later seen when Kamen Rider Ghost Robin Damashii used his finisher to defeat Book, falling to the ground from the death of Book's Primal Body, along with a story book (its cover resembles Alice's Adventures Under Ground) that formed from the Gamma's jettisoned Parka Ghost, where it ultimately explodes.
The Gamma Assault (眼魔アサルト, Ganma Asaruto, lit. "Eye Devil Assault") are Gamma born from the Gamma Eyecon. They first appear in Primal Body (素体, Moto-tai). Gamma Assaults do not possess unique abilities of their own, but can gain powers of their own through being infused with an object around them.
- Powers and Abilities
-
- Intangibility
- A Gamma's primary ability is to turn themselves invisible and intangible to the public. Those whom wielded an Eyecon are capable of witnessing them.
- Infusion
- Gamma can infuse themselves with ordinary objects, converting said object into a Parka Ghost, to achieve a unique evolved form. Should the Ganma be defeated, the object will be restored to its original form as the Ganma is destroyed.
- Possession
- As their existence is that of a ghost, they can took on ideal host and gain dominant control over their body.
Through bonding with a book, the originally generic Ganma evolved into the Empowered Gamma (強化眼魔, Kyōka Ganma, lit."Empowered Eye Devil") known as Book.

- Eyecon/Parka Infusion
- Gamma Assaults can infuse themselves with Ghost Eyecons or at the very least, their Parka Ghosts to become Giant Gamma.
- Levitation
- Book Gamma can levitate the surrounding areas, creating a poltergeist-like phenomenon or lifting a wide amount of area.
- Duplication
- Book Gamma can duplicate himself as means of getting an extra help, as well as to escape certain deaths. The only distinction is that the real one has The Dodo feature on his hat.
- Acceleration
- Book Gamma can run at an incredible speed.

- Height: 204 cm[1]
- Weight: 96 kg
Ability Parameters:
- Punching power: 5.5 t
- Kicking power: 10 t
- Maximum jump height: 42 m
- Maximum running speed: 100 m per 5.8 seconds
Ore Damashii (オレ魂, Ore Damashī, lit. "My Soul") is Ghost's default orange form. Accessed through the Ore Ghost Eyecon, this form bears the (quickly discarded) Effector Hood (エフェクターフード, Efekutā Hūdo), the Persona Pantheon (ペルソナパンテオン, Perusona Panteon) helmet with the Face Pantheon (フェイスパンテオン, Feisu Panteon) faceplate.

- Ability Perimeters
- Punching power: 6 t[2]
- Kicking power: 10.5 t[2]
- Maximum jump height: 43 m[2]
- Maximum running speed: 100 m per 5.6 seconds[2]
Specter Damashii (スペクター魂, Supekutā Damashī, lit. "Specter Soul") is Specter's default blue form. Accessed through the Specter Ghost Eyecon, this form bears the Persona Berserk (ペルソナバーサーク, Perusona Bāsāku) helmet with the Face Berserk (フェイスバーサーク, Feisu Bāsāku) faceplate.
While assuming Specter Damashii, Specter dons the Berserk Reflector (バーサークリフレクター, Bāsāku Rifurekutā).
In this form, Specter has much more power than Ghost has in his Ore Damashii. He also has more agility than Ghost, making Specter overall is more prowess than Ghost. In a similar vein to Ghost's anti-gravity levitation, Specter can utilize superhuman speed, which commonly used as an escape from the enemy or simply a method of transportation.
This version of Specter is presumably much more powerful than the original Specter's default form, as it is shown to be able to fight on par with Kamen Rider Deep Specter.
This forms finisher is the Omega Drive (Specter) (オメガドライブ スペクター, Omega Doraibu (Supekutā)): A flying kick that uses spiritual energy which makes the body and mask of Specter's form glow and envelops him in a blue flame. It can also be used as a slash or shooting attack with the Gan Gun Hand.Book Eyecon[]
The Book Gamma is preserved following his death in a specially created Gamma Eyecon which allows the Gamma Superior such as Igor to assume his Parka Ghost by channeling its power, in a sense becoming the reincarnation of the Book Gamma. [Conflict! The Terms of Resolution!]
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Book Gamma was voiced by Kiyohito Yoshikai (吉開 清人, Yoshikai Kiyohito), who previously voiced Seeker Roidmude in Kamen Rider Drive, and later on would portray unidentified member of Foundation X in Kamen Rider Brave: ~Let's Survive! Revival of the Beast Rider Squad!~.
Book Gamma's suit actor is Jiro Uchikawa (内川 仁朗, Uchikawa Jirō).
Concept Art[]
Book Gamma was designed by Kazuhiko Shimamoto (島本 和彦, Shimamoto Kazuhiko).
Notes[]
- Book is the first Gamma to have an English word for his motif.
- After the Book Gamma is defeated, if you take a closer look at the book that appears it says "Alice's Adventures Under Ground"
- Alice's Adventures Under Ground was the original version of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland that Lewis Carroll would later rewrite into the famous novel we all know as Alice in Wonderland.
- Though the two never fought each other, Book Gamma and Newton Damashii debuted in the same episode. Interestingly, their historical figures, Lewis Carroll and Isaac Newton were well-known mathematicians.
