The Jacorder (ジャコーダー, Jakōdā) is an item that is inserted into Sagarc to evoke the transformation into Kamen Rider Saga.
Design[]
The Jacorder is composed of the following parts:
- Key Grip (キーグリップ, Kī Gurippu): The grip. When touched, it will connect to Kamen Rider Saga's nervous system, allowing it to change from Rod to Bute Mode at Saga's discretion.
- Dunamis Table (デュナミステーブル, Deyunamisu Tēburu): The blue circular section. It is a power generator that amplifies Saga's power received through the Key Grip, greatly increasing the Jacorder's strength and lethality.
- Cobra Hammer (コブラハンマー, Kobura Hanmā): The pommel. It is composed of the extremely durable Lucifer Metal (ルシファーメタル, Rushifā Metaru), and because of its strength, can be used as a striking hammer. It is extremely lethal in close combat, and can pour energy from its tip into an opponent on touch, destroying it.
- Viper Tongue (バイパートング, Baipā Tongu): A red rod that extends from the Jacorder. It is made of Bloody Iron (ブラッディアイアン, Buraddi Aian), a memory shape alloy that can change its rigidness depending on Kamen Rider Saga's intention.
Modes[]
In battle, the Jacorder has two modes, the rapier-like Rod Mode (ロッドモード, Roddo Mōdo) (also known as the Jacorder Rod (ジャコーダーロッド, Jakōdā Roddo)) and the whip-like Bute Mode (ビュートモード, Byūto Mōdo) (also known as the Jacorder Bute (ジャコーダービュート, Jakōdā Byūto)).

Finisher[]
After using the Wake Up Fuestle, Saga turns day into night (complete with a crescent moon) as he executes his Snaking Death-Break (スネーキングデスブレイク, Sunēkingu Desubureiku) attack with the destructive power of the Jacorder's two modes, piercing the target with Rod Mode before jumping through the Kiva insignia formed in midair to hang the target using the Bute Mode until it is destroyed. As the new Dark Kiva, Taiga continues to use the Jacorder as a weapon.

Ganbarider[]
The Jacorder is also among the various Rider Weapons used by Ganbarider in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing.
Notes[]
- Jacorder's name and appearance is based on the Recorder, a musical instrument.
- The Jacorder is based on a real Indian weapon called the Urumi which is like a whip but made of sharp metal.
- Its whip mode is referred to as a "bute". Bute is not a real English word, though byuuto is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound of a whip, which by extension is used to mean "whip" itself (though the usual word for "whip" in Japanese is Muchi).
