The Byakko Inves (ビャッコインベス, Byakko Inbesu, White Tiger Inves) is a Green-type Advanced Inves themed after a tiger. It appears to be an extremely rare type of Inves, with the only known Byakko Inves having metamorphosized from a human (classed by the Yggdrasill Corporation as a Category H Inves), Yuya Sumii, after he ate a fruit of Helheim. Kouta Kazuraba also experienced becoming a Byakko Inves in a hallucinated dreamworld induced by Redyue, where Yuya became Armored Rider Gaim in his place.
History[]
After Yuya ate a premature lockseed, he transformed into the Byakko Inves, the first Advanced Inves to emerge from the Helheim Forest, and attacks Kouta Kazuraba and Mai Takatsukasa, who were ironically were looking for Yuya in the Helheim Forest.
It is only after Kouta discovers the purpose of the Orange Lockseed and the Sengoku Driver that Yuya dropped when he ate the premature Lockseed, transforming him into Armored Rider Gaim, that he is able to defeat the Byakko Inves, ending Yuya's plight. [Transform! The Orange from the Sky!?]
Stageshow[]
Another Byakko Inves appeared in a stage show and was armed with a Sengoku Driver and a Lockseed. With the Lockseed, it was able to summon other Inves to assist it.
Forms[]
Elementary Inves (Green)
Kouta Kazuraba partially returns to human form in his hallucination of becoming the Byakko Inves.
Advanced Inves (Byakko)
- Height: 220 cm.
- Weight: 165 kg.
Advanced Inves (上級インベス, Jōkyū Inbesu) are human-sized Inves summoned by Lockseeds from the Helheim Forest during an Inves Game to battle against the Armored Riders (opponent) or the opponents' Inves, though only when someone uses an A-Ranked Lockseed. Unlike their lesser Elementary counterparts, Advanced Inves retain their human size while in a Inves Game, as well as being themed after a specific animal. They are also much stronger than their previous evolution, prompting the need of a Armored Rider if a rogue Advanced Inves is around. While wild Advanced Inves are somewhat uncommon, this kind of Inves can also be created by having a Elementary Inves feed on a Lockseed, where they evolve into a Advanced Inves that shares their color. Advanced Inves can also be created when a human eats a unripened fruit.
The Byakko Inves' upper body is covered with a tough shell, protecting it from most attacks, and it uses sharp claws to inflict deadly damage. It also possesses powerful muscles, enabling it to run fast and overpower Kouta when he finds his way into the Helheim Forest, as well as an energy attack that let it fire beams of energy that can slice through practically anything. The Byakko Inves is physically similar to the Hekija Inves.
