The Transformation Belt Ghost Driver (変身ベルト ゴーストドライバー, Henshin Beruto Gōsuto Doraibā) is the transformation belt used by Kamen Riders Ghost, Specter, Dark Ghost, Zero Specter and Kanon Specter. They transform by using the Ghost Eyecons. Chikara Saionji carries an unfinished Ghost Driver named Proto Driver (プロトドライバー, Proto Doraiba), without the Rake Invoke cover, connected to electronics inside his briefcase to create Ghost Eyecons from unsealed Parka Ghosts. It presumably was incapable of being used for transformation due to its incomplete state, as it lacks a trigger mechanism. [Fast Shooting! Legendary Gunman!] According to Sennin/Edith, one needs to have a fully functioning Ghost Driver in order to make a wish with the 15 Heroic Eyecons.
Design[]
- Detonate Trigger (デトネイトリガー, Detoneitorigā) - The Ghost Driver's lever used to invoke transformation and finishing techniques. At the same time the Detonate Trigger is pulled, a special reactor furnace inside of the Driver is activated. This furnace develops and amplifies the energy stored in the Ghost Eyecons during loading, instantly generating the energy needed to transform. At the same time the Detonate Trigger is pushed back, the energy is released, allowing transformation. If the lever is pulled and pushed four consecutive times, all produced energy is consumed, allowing special finishing moves to be performed.
- Glint Eye (グリントアイ, Gurinto Ai) - A safety unit located in the middle of the Ghost Driver shaped like an eye. It displays the inserted Eyecon. When the Detonate Trigger is pulled, and the Driver's special reactor furnace activates, the Glint Eye will 'blink', closing a safety shutter to prevent energy from leaking. Once the Detonate Trigger is pushed back, the shutter will open, releasing energy for transformation or deathblows. The opening and closing phenomenon of the safety shutter is called Ghost Wink (ゴーストウィンク, Gōsuto Uinku) due to the fact that the Glint Eye appears to be blinking. Additionally, the Glint Eye has an energy transfer function, allowing it to transfer energy to the Gan Gun Saber and Gan Gun Hand.
- Altar Ingot (オルターインゴット, Orutā Ingotto) - The silver panel on the Driver's left side. It contains a shield generator which wraps the entire Driver with a special defensive shield, protecting it from damage during intense battle.
- Misty Bind (オルターインゴット, Misuti Baindo) - The Ghost Driver's strap. It has excellent durability, and is almost impossible to cut no matter what blade is used. Additionally, it adjusts itself to fit a wearer's waist.
- Race Invoke (レイスインヴォーク, Reisu In'vu~ōku) - The front semi-transparent plate on the front of the Ghost Driver. It is a material conversion device which which converts an Eyecon's ghost into Quantum Solid (クァンタムソリッド, Kuantamu Soriddo) material, forming Parka Ghosts.
- Eyecon Throne (アイコンスローン, Aikon Surōn) - The slot to insert Eyecons into. It synchronises the Ghost Driver's and the Ghost Eyecon's energies, and extracts the ghost's energy and abilities. Additionally, by using the Glint Eye's energy transfer function, the Eyecon Throne can install a Ghost or a feeling into an internally generated Blank Eyecon to create a new Eyecon.
Functionality[]
To transform, the user opens the Ghost Driver, presses the button on a Ghost Eyecon to its Standby Time setting, opens the Race Invoke (レイスインヴォーク, Reisu In'vu~ōku) plate, inserts the Eyecon into the Eyecon Throne (アイコンスローン, Aikon Surōn), before closing it to secure the Eyecon in place. Afterwards, the user pulls the Detonate Trigger (デトネイトリガー, Detoneitorigā), closing the Glint Eye (グリントアイ, Gurinto Ai), and opening it back up by pushing the trigger, which activates the Eyecon's Transformation Time setting to summon its respective Parka Ghost and fuse with the user's body, thus completing their transformation into either Kamen Riders Ghost or Specter.
To initiate a Ghost Eyecon's finisher, the user must pull and push the Detonate Trigger a second time to activate the Eyecon's Move Invocation Time setting. Alternatively, the Ghost Driver can activate the finishers of either Ghost's Gan Gun Saber or Specter's Gan Gun Hand by scanning the eyeball-like insignia found on the weapons' hilt with the Eyecon currently placed within the Ghost Driver. Additionally, after scanning the Energy Eye Crest on the Gan Gun Saber/Hand's hilt with the Ghost Eyecon currently placed within his Ghost Driver or loading two Eyecons into the Blender Furnace chambers of the Sunglasseslasher, the user pulls and pushes the lever of the Ghost Driver to increase his weapon's finisher.
By pulling and pushing the lever four times, the user can activate the Ghost Driver's Oomedama (オオメダマ, Ōmedama, lit. "Giant eyeball" (大目玉)) function where it manifests a giant construct of a Ghost Eyecon for the user to kick and destroy any giant-sized Gamma Holes before they have a chance to bring more Gammas into the world.
In order to have the Ghost Driver cancel the transformation, the user must remove the Ghost Eyecon currently placed in its buckle and then close it back up. As mentioned by Yurusen, users of Ghost Drivers can re-spawn another copy of their weapon should the original be destroyed.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
The voice of the Ghost Driver is provided by m.c.A·T.
Notes[]
- The Ghost Driver resembles both the Fourze Driver from Kamen Rider Fourze and the Genesis Driver from Kamen Rider Gaim in a way since all three have a lever on the right side to transform the rider(s) and activate their finishing moves. It is also similar to the Genesis Driver's prototype, the Sengoku Driver, due to both having special catchphrases for each form.
- It also works similarly to the Mach Driver Honoh, where closing the Driver with no Eyecons loaded inside will disengage the transformation, complete with a post-deactivation announcement (the Mach Driver has "Otsukare" (オツカーレ, Otsukāre, lit. "Good Job" (乙彼)), while the Ghost Driver has "Oyasumi" (オヤスミー, Oyasumī, lit. "Good Night" (お休み))).
- Another similarity with the Gaim Riders' two types of different Drivers are that the same Drivers used by each multiple Riders, which has a different standby sound for each one, as well as only good as a transformation device like Decadriver's function of using Kamen Ride Card in it.
- Necrom's Mega Ulorder shares this function as well.
