Rider Statistics

• Rider Height: 197 cm
• Rider Weight: 102.4 kg

Ability Perimeters:

• Punching Power: 27.6 t
• Kicking Power: 33.7 t
• Maximum Jump Height: 57.7 m
• Maximum Running Speed: 100 m per 3.2 sec

Ryuga transforms into Kamen Rider Cross-Z (仮面ライダークローズ, Kamen Raidā Kurōzu) utilizing the Cross-Z Dragon, which adapts the Build Driver's two slots into one, allowing him to use only the Dragon Fullbottle to transform.

Utilizing Cross-Z, Ryuga becomes a force to be reckoned with, blowing far past Build, Night Rogue, and Blood Stalk's Ability Perimeters. It possesses a greater punching power than Build's GorillaMond Form, has a stronger kicking power than Build's KeyDragon Form, and exceeds RabbitTank Form's maximum jump height. Though it loses to some of Build's more agile forms, it is still faster than both Night Rogue and Blood Stalk.

Cross-Z has unique features that help differentiate it from Build's normal Halfbody-based forms, most notably the addition of the Drago Live Razor (ドラゴライブレイザー, Dorago Raibu Reizā) body-shoulder armor pieces at the front.

Cross-Z's personal weapon is the Beat Closer. After acquiring the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle, he occasionally uses it in this form as well. ^{[The Truth of the Pandora Box]}

It is unknown if Banjo can still access this form, as he has not been seen using since the debut of Great Cross-Z, nor since the Dragon Fullbottle turned silver.

Cross-Z can perform Hippare (ヒッパレー, Hipparē) special attacks with the Beat Closer depending on how many times he pulls the bottom of the weapon's handle:

• Smash Hit (スマッシュヒット, Sumasshu Hitto): Cross-Z delivers a powerful slash with the blade covered in dark blue fire.
• Million Hit (ミリオンヒット, Mirion Hitto): Cross-Z delivers a continuous powerful slash with the blade covered in red, yellow, and green energy in a bar-like fashion.
• Mega Hit (メガヒット, Mega Hitto):

Cross-Z has three different finishers:

• Build Driver finisher:
  • Dragonic Finish (ドラゴニックフィニッシュ, Doragonikku Finisshu):
    • Rider Kick: Cross-Z summons a blue and orange energy Chinese dragon that flies behind him, then jumps up as the dragon breaths fire, sending him at the enemy, then delivers a roundhouse kick whilst his foot is covered in blue energy.
    • Rider Punch: Cross-Z coats his right hand in energy in the shape of a blue Chinese dragon head, then delivers a punch.
• Beat Closer finishers:
  • Smash Slash (スマッシュスラッシュ, Sumasshu Surasshu): Cross-Z channels the energy of a Fullbottle in his Beat Closer, pulls the handle one time and performs a powerful slash.
  • Million Slash (ミリオンスラッシュ, Mirion Surasshu): Cross-Z channels the energy of a Fullbottle in his Beat Closer, pulls the handle two times and performs a powerful slash.
    • Lock: This finisher has two variations:
      • Cross-Z sends a dark blue fire stream at the enemy.
      • Cross-Z binds the enemy with energy chains.
  • Mega Slash (メガスラッシュ, Mega Surasshu): Cross-Z channels the energy of a Fullbottle in his Beat Closer, pulls the handle three times and performs a powerful slash.
    • Lock: Cross-Z strikes the enemy with the Beat Closer as it projects an energy version of the Bind Master Key.
• Cross-Z Magma Knuckle finisher:
  • Volcanic Knuckle (ボルケニックナックル, Borukenikku Nakkuru): By plugging a Fullbottle into the top of the Magma Knuckle before pressing the front, Cross-Z can empower the punches he delivers with it.
    • Taka: The Cross-Z Magma Knuckle projects a pair of orange energy hawk wings as Cross-Z uppercuts the enemy.

Rider Statistics

• Rider Height: 201.3 cm
• Rider Weight: 116.3 kg

Ability Perimeters:

• Punching Power: 56.1 t
• Kicking Power: 61.7 t
• Maximum Jump Height: 73.2 m
• Maximum Running Speed: 100 m per 1.3 sec

Cross-Z Magma (クローズマグマ, Kurōzu Maguma) is Cross-Z's final form accessed by using the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle, loaded with the Dragon Magma Fullbottle, in the Build Driver. It is hence known as the Extremely Hot Muscle (極熱筋肉, Gokunetsu Kinniku)

Cross-Z Magma is superior in all categories to his previous forms, as well as most other Riders. He is stronger than Build's Rabbit Rabbit and TankTank forms, though his punching and kicking power is surpassed by Tank Tank at maximum power. He is slower than both of these forms, while his jump height is only beaten by RabbitRabbit form. In this form, Ryuga was able to completely overwhelm an unyielding Blood Stalk, something both Build and Grease had difficulty doing.

Cross-Z Magma employs magma-coated attacks with his physical strikes. These strikes release bursts of Variable Magma upon impact and leave splashes of the smoldering substance on the target, causing additional burns and damage. He can also use the substance to create constructs, such as dragons, that coat the target. This ability also has the added bonus of restraining mobile targets as the material rapidly cools.

In addition to enhanced running power, Cross-Z Magma also gains the ability to fly thanks to the Celestial Pyro Wings (ソレスタルパイロウィング, Soresutaru Pairo Uingu) mounted on the back, which utilises a heat booster to produce propulsion, in addition to burning enemies on the ground.

Cross-Z Magma gains power as Ryuga fights and his adrenaline rises, causing his suit to glow and heat up to the point that lava is released from the suit. This heat may cause Ryuga discomfort or force him out of transformation, but it does not harm him.

This form has 4 different finishers:

• Build Driver Finishers:
  • Volcanic Attack (ボルケニックアタック, Borukenikku Atakku): This finisher has two variations:
    • Rider Kick: Cross-Z Magma leaps in the air accompanied by numerous Variable Magma dragons that attack the target before combining with Cross-Z for an explosive flying kick.
    • Rider Shooting: Cross-Z Magma launches several magma dragons from his arms that home in on the enemy.
  • Volcanic Finish (ボルケニックフィニッシュ, Borukenikku Finisshu): Cross-Z Magma performs a rapid series of flaming punches before becoming covered in lava and delivering a final punch strong enough to launch the enemy.
• Cross-Z Magma Knuckle finisher:
  • Volcanic Knuckle (ボルケニックナックル, Borukenikku Nakkuru): By plugging a Fullbottle into the top of the Magma Knuckle before pressing the front, Cross-Z Magma can perform a powerful attack.
    • Dragon Magma: Cross-Z Magma sends a dragon-shaped stream of flame into the enemy that explodes upon impact.
    • Silver Dragon: Cross-Z uses the Cross-Z Magma Knuckle to deliver a powerful punch covered in silver flames that create a large shockwave upon impact.
• Blizzard Knuckle finisher:
  • Glacial Knuckle (グレイシャルナックル, Gureisharu Nakkuru): By plugging a Fullbottle into the top of the Blizzard Knuckle before pressing the front, Cross-Z Magma can perform a powerful attack.
    • Silver Dragon: Cross-Z Magma punches the enemy as the incomplete Blizzard Knuckle creates an energy projection of a blizzard that freezes the target before launching them away.
• Beat Closer finisher:
  • Smash Slash (スマッシュスラッシュ, Sumasshu Surasshu): Cross-Z channels the energy of a Fullbottle in his Beat Closer, pulls the handle one time and performs a powerful slash.
    • Dragon: Cross-Z Magma covers the Beat Closer's blade in flames and slashes the enemy.

Cross-Z Magma's ending theme is entitled "Burning My Soul".

Ability Perimeters:

• Punching power: 61.3 t
• Kicking power: 67.1 t

Kamen Rider Blood's main form is accessed by attaching the Hazard Trigger to the Build Driver and inserting the Great Cross-Z Dragon, loaded with the Cobra Lost Fullbottle. During Blood's transformation, the Scissors Lost Smash, Zebra Lost Smash and Ryuga Banjo fuse with Blood due to their Blood Tribe DNA, though Blood can still function with them seperated.

Kamen Rider Blood is stronger than Build Genius Form and easily overpowered it. Only by assuming Cross-ZBuild and combining his own power with Cross-Z's could Build defeat him. Just like Blood Stalk, Blood can summon energy cobras to assist him in battle.

Kamen Rider Blood is exclusive to Kamen Rider Build: Be The One.

Ability Perimeters:

• Punching Power: 31.5 t
• Kicking Power: 34.1 t

Cross-Z Charge (クローズチャージ, Kurōzu Chāji) is Cross-Z's super form accessed by inserting the Dragon Sclashjelly into the Sclash Driver and pumping the lever.

This form gives Cross-Z a balanced power-up that's on par even with Build RabbitTank Sparkling Form. He could even jump higher than Build aforementioned form, albeit slightly slower.

Cross-Z Charge's personal weapon in this form is the Twin Breaker. He can also wield the Beat Closer if needed.

Notable features of Cross-Z Charge include:

• CZC Variable Chest Armor (CZCヴァリアブルチェストアーマー, CZC Vu~ariaburu Chesuto Āmā): The blue dragon head-shaped chest armor made of hardened Variable Jelly (ヴァリアブルゼリー, Vu~ariaburu Zerī)

• Drago Struggle Gloves (ドラゴストラグルグローブ, Dorago Sutoraguru Gurōbu): The fists of Cross-Z Charge. The more Cross-Z Charge struggles in battle, the more punching power the Drago Struggle Gloves will become capable of.

• Drago Struggle Shoes (ドラゴストラグルシューズ, Dorago Sutoraguru Shūzu): The feet of Cross-Z Charge. The more Cross-Z Charge struggles in battle, the more kicking power the Drago Struggle Shoes become capable of.

Ryuga lost access to this form when Evolto destroyed his Sclash Driver and Dragon Sclashjelly with his Martian powers.

Cross-Z Charge has several different finishers:

  • Cross-Z Charge's finisher with the Dragon Sclashjelly is the Scrap Break (スクラップブレイク, Sukurappu Burēku) , which has two variations:
