The Daidaimaru (大橙丸 lit. "Great Orange Circle") is the Armored Rider Arms Weapon granted either by accessing Orange Arms or via the summoning ability of Kiwami Arms. It is a one-handed, single-edged sword with the blade looking like a slice of an orange. It is also granted by accessing Type Fruits (in the case of Drive), activating the Kourin Signal Kudamono (in the case of Mach and Chaser), via the Shift Fruits Car, accessing Gaim Damashii via the Gaim Ghost Eyecon and accessing Gaim Gamer via the Toukenden Gaim Rider Gashat.
It can also be accessed by Kamen Rider Geats through the use of the Sengoku Driver Buckle.
Design[]
A Daidaimaru consists of the following parts:
- Kahi no Jin (カヒノジン ): The special blade that acts on the chemical bonding of materials using the enormous energy generated by power cells. It is possible to produce cutting forces that can not be realized with normal swords.
- Orange Power Cell (オレンジパワーセル, Orenji Pawā Seru): The power cell for energy supply embedded in the Daidaimaru's orange-pulp like parts. By keeping the power cell in a relatively large blade portion, the sharpness of the blade is maintained.
- Odachi no Mine (オオダチノミネ, Ōdachi no Mine): The back of Daidaimaru. It plays the role of a frame to hold the orange power cell and corresponds to the bone forming the blade.
- Lock Gakka (ロクガクカ, Roku Gakuka): The green hand-guard of Daidaimaru.
- Yatsuka no Nigiri (ヤツカノニギリ ): The handle of Daidaimaru.
- Arms Coupler (アームズカップラー, Āmuzu Kappurā): The concatenation unit for connecting with Musou Saber. Merging the energy generated from the power cell of Daidaimaru into Musou Saber.

Combinations[]
The Daidaimaru can combine with the Musou Saber for the more powerful Naginata Mode (ナギナタモード, Naginata Mōdo).[1] Naginata Mode can also combine with the Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju to create the stronger Sojinto Mode (双刃刀モード, Sōjintō Mōdo, lit."Double-Blade Sword Mode"), though this was never shown on-screen and thus is exclusive to the toyline.
Finishing attacks[]
- Daidai Ittou (大橙一刀, Daidai Ittō, lit. "Great Orange Sword Strike"): After Gaim or Fifteen activate a function on their Sengoku Driver, they charge the Daidaimaru with energy before unleashing a series of slashes on the target.

Ganbarider[]
The Daidaimaru, from both Orange Arms and Blood Orange Arms is also among the various Rider Weapons used by Ganbarider, wielded with the Musou Saber, in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing.
Notes[]
- This is the first Arms Weapon to be in the form of a sword, followed by the Duri Noko, the Yomimaru, and the Sword Bringer.
- This is the first Arms Weapon to have multiple versions, followed by the Kagematsu.
- When Kamen Rider Zi-O accesses his GaimArmor, he is armed with the Daidaimaru Z (大橙丸Z, Daidaimaru Zetto), which are themed after the Daidaimaru.
- Another Gaim wields a similar weapon based on the Daidaimaru, though its large scale is more resemblant to that of the Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju Sojinto Mode.
- In setting, Kiwami Arms can use all Arms Weapons. In May 2021, CSM Kiwami Lockseed added 17 kinds of Arms Weapons related sound effects that were not included before, including Dark Daidaimaru and Blood Daidaimaru.So in a sense, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms is also a user of Dark Daidaimaru and Blood Daidaimaru, although it has not been shown anywhere.[4]
