Fuestles

This article is about a set of power-up devices in Kamen Rider Kiva.

Fuestles (フエッスル, Fuessuru) are a set of whistles used by the Kamen Riders of Kamen Rider Kiva to access their arsenal. They are held in Fueslots (フエッスロット, Fuessurotto).

List of Fuestles

• Kiva
• Ixa
• Saga
• Dark Kiva
• Rey
• Arc
• Toy-Exclusive

Kiva accesses his arsenal through whistles on his belt called Fuestles, which he gives to Kivat to blow into to evoke a power-up. Three of the Fuestles serve to summon an allied Arms Monster from Castle Doran, who allows for Kiva to Form Change and turns into a weapon. These three Fuestles' powers can be evoked immediately before Wataru transforms, enabling him to transform to the respective form directly without going through Kiva Form.

In 2031, Wataru's Fuestles are inherited by his son, future Kamen Rider Kiva, as evidenced by their presence on his belt. ^{[Finale: The Inheritors of Kiva]}

Behind The Scenes

Etymology

The name is likely a portmanteau of "Flute" (笛, Fue) and "Whistle" (ホイッスル, Hoissuru).

Notes

• Dark Kiva's Seal Fuestles each make the sound of Kiva's Garulu, Basshaa, and Dogga Fuestle tunes played all at once.
• Kiva and Dark Kiva's Doran and Buroon Fuestles have roughly switched colors from each other: orange (Kiva Doran and Dark Kiva Buroon) and gold (Kiva Buroon and Dark Kiva Doran).
• The Zanvat Wake Up Fuestle easily has the widest base of any Fuestle, in fact the only one wider than any of the others.
• The storage of the Fuestle that summons Tatsulot is never clarified, but the toy version stores it in Tatsulot as part of the bottom jaw.
  • Strangely, the code for the Fuestle is the same as the one for the Ixa Riser's finisher, resulting in the toy version of the Ixa belt making the same sounds.
• The toy versions operate on a special arrangement of raised sections to trigger the sounds in most of the transformation devices.
  • Experimenting with combinations revealed sounds that suggested certain Fuestles were considered, but not made, such as one that called out all three Arms Monsters for activating DoGaBaKi Form, as well as a DoGaBaKi Fake for Ixa.
  • The use of button combinations to trigger pre-programmed sounds in the transformation device wouldn't be repeated until the Neo-Heisei Era with Kamen Rider Fourze.
    • The concept would later evolve into the complex sliding-pin codes used for the Shift Brace in Kamen Rider Drive, the various transformation belts and devices in Kamen Rider Build, the Ziku-Driver in Kamen Rider Zi-O, and in the Reiwa Era with Kamen Rider Geats.
