Kamen Rider Bravo
Kamen Rider Bravo (仮面ライダーブラーボ, Kamen Raidā Burābo) may refer to any the following characters:
Arms[]
Like with the other Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Bravo's forms are called Arms (アームズ, Āmuzu). His Sengoku Driver plays American rock & roll music and emits a guitar riff sound before every transformation, while his personal Lockseeds are styled in pure English with a "Mr. [Adjective/Noun]" theme.
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Bravo can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash (スカッシュ, Sukasshu), Au Lait (オーレ, Ōre), or Sparking (スパーキング, Supākingu).
Ride Wear
The Ride Wear (ライドウェア, Raido Uēa) is Bravo's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Bravo's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
The Ride Wear that Bravo's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator (ライダーインジケーター, Raidā Injikētā) faceplate. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.
Durian Arms
- "(Guitar riff) Durian Arms! Mr. Dangerous! (Five count bell ring with a cheering crowd)"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
- Rider Height: 210 cm
- Rider Weight: 125 kg
- Ability Parameters[1]
- Punching Power: 12.4 t
- Kicking Power: 16.7 t
- Maximum Jump Height: 27 m
- Maximum Running Speed: 100 m per 5.9 seconds
Durian Arms (ドリアンアームズ, Dorian Āmuzu) is Bravo's durian-based default form. Accessed through the Durian Lockseed, this form bears the Duriking Casque (ドリキングカスク, Dorikingu Kasuku) helmet with the ReduSight (レデューサイト, RedyūSaito, short for "Reducer Sight") visor. This form debuts in episode 6.
While assuming Durian Arms, Bravo dons the Durian Armor Part (ドリアンアーマーパート, Dorian Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Duri Noko.
Out of all the Armored Riders' main forms, Bravo is the strongest. As listed above, his punching and kicking power exceeded that of Zangetsu's Melon Arms. Adding to his versatility, his jumping height is only 1 m shorter than Gaim's Orange Arms, and has the exact running speed with Orange Arms, despite his bulky armor. He even can lift metal scaffolding with nothing but his bare hands, and is even seen somewhat keeping up with the Sakura Hurricane and Suika Arms' Oodama Mode, though he was somewhat exhausted from the long run. Bravo is later further strengthened when his Sengoku Driver is replaced with an updated, refined model.
Despite his specs being regarded as the strongest out of the Sengoku Driver users, Oren still restrains his strength as he constantly views whoever he fights against amateurs. This arrogance allowed him to be defeated by Gaim Jimber Lemon Arms when Gaim had yet to fully unlock the potential of the Jimber Lemon Arms while Bravo was using the updated Sengoku Driver model. However, Oren's true battle prowess would soon be shown in the Summer Movie, after Peko, Hase, and Zack die. As Bravo, Oren now full of hate and rage was able to take on Zangetsu Shin, arguably the most skilled Genesis Driver user while using the inferior yellow-belted prototype Sengoku Driver. The two were fighting at their peak and fullest potential resulting in a battle that destroyed Zawame City with the two of them being killed.
Oren loses access to Durian Arms in a battle against Lord Baron, resulting in the destruction of his Durian Lockseed and Sengoku Driver.
This Arms has two Rider Shooting finishing attacks.
- Sengoku Driver finisher:
- Durian Danger (ドリアンデンジャー, Dorian Denjā): Bravo activates the Squash function on his Sengoku Driver and emits a wave of energy from the comb on his helmet, then swings his head around and slashes forward into his target.
- This finisher has a variation in the form of a technique called Durian Shoot (ドリアンシュート, Dorian Shūto), where Bravo would jump into the air, make his Durian Armor fold into its Armor Part form at the peak of the jump, then fire an energy version of it at the target.
- Duriasshe (ドリアッシェ, Doriasshe): Bravo activates the Au Lait function on his Sengoku Driver and swings his Duri Noko at the opponent, launching lime green durian-shaped energy spheres with every swing. A stronger variation exists where he charges a giant durian-shaped energy sphere and swings it at the opponent. It can also be done in an energy slash fashion.
- Durian Danger (ドリアンデンジャー, Dorian Denjā): Bravo activates the Squash function on his Sengoku Driver and emits a wave of energy from the comb on his helmet, then swings his head around and slashes forward into his target.

Kingdurian Arms
- "(Guitar riff) Kingdurian Arms! Mr. Violence! (Five count bell ring with a cheering crowd)"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Kingdurian Arms (キングドリアンアームズ, Kingudorian Āmuzu) is Bravo's red durian-based final form. Accessed through the Kingdurian Lockseed, this form bears the Kingduriking Casque (キングドリキングカスク, Kingudorikingu Kasuku) helmet with the King ReduSight (キングレデューサイト, Kingu RedyūSaito, short for "King Reducer Sight").
Bravo gets corrupted by a plant from Helheim Forest and transformed into this form. His Arms Weapon is the Giga Duri Noko, a twisted version of the original Duri Noko.
Due to Oren being possessed, he goes berserk and attacks anyone in his sight like a mindless beast, having no control over the form whatsoever. After Gridon defeated him and reverted his transformation, Bravo can now use the form without any negative effects. He can also manipulates vines from Helheim Forest.
This Arms has two finishers:
- Unnamed Finisher: After Bravo activates his Sengoku Driver's Au Lait function, he raises a Giga Duri Noko into the air, causing an energy Durian to appear above and attack the enemy with Helheim vines.
- Unnamed Rider Slash: After Bravo activates his Sengoku Driver's Sparking function, he charges his Giga Duri Noko with black, red and lime green durian-shaped energy, then delivers a powerful slash to the enemy. This attack is very powerful to destroy Gridon's Donguri Lockseed, shattering it to pieces.
- "(Guitar riff) Mix! Durian Arms! Mr. Dangerous! (Five count bell ring with a cheering crowd) Jimber Melon! Ha-Ha!"

Hibiki Arms
- "(Guitar riff) Hibiki Arms! Tatakikome kiyome no oto!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Hibiki Arms (響鬼アームズ, Hibiki Āmuzu) is a Legend Rider Arms based on Kamen Rider Hibiki's default form that is accessed through the Hibiki Lockseed.

Notes[]
- Bravo's name is written as "Blavo" on the official TV-Asahi Website.
- However, different publications such as SHT Magazines, S.H. Figuarts, and Bandai Magazines refer to him as Kamen Rider Bravo.
- Bravo is the Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian word for "congratulations".
- The name also reflects Oren's purpose for participating in the Inves Games in the first place, which was to entertain the viewers with "actual fighting".
- Bravo is the second rider that uses a Spanish/Portuguese word in his Rider name, the first being is Kamen Rider Verde in Kamen Rider Ryuki Special: 13 Riders, followed by Kamen Rider Espada in Kamen Rider Saber.
- Bravo's Ride Wear suit is the same model worn by Baron, Gridon, and Mars. Oddly though, the hard-armored portions of the suit are covered with small spikes, reminiscent of those found on the Durian Arms armor.
- The cape for Bravo Kingdurian Arms would later be reused for for future riders, most notably Kamen Riders Solomon, Storious, and Daimon.
