This article is about a Rider form used by several people in Kamen Rider 555. |
Kamen Rider Faiz (仮面ライダーファイズ, Kamen Raidā Faizu, "Masked Rider Faiz") or SB-555 Faiz (SB standing for Smart Brain) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider 555. Its gear is the first of the Rider Gears seen in the series. Its motif is the Greek letter phi (Φ).
Kamen Rider Faiz may refer to any the following characters. The Faiz Gear mostly cannot be used by anyone that is not an Orphnoch.
Faiz Gear[]
The Faiz Gear (ファイズギア, Faizu Gia) was the second set of Kamen Rider Gear developed by the Smart Brain Corporation to protect the Orphnoch King. The Faiz Gear had less power than the original Delta Gear, but had a much greater functionality. Like most of the Rider Gears that Smart Brain developed, the Faiz Gear can only be worn by Orphnochs or humans implanted with Orphnoch DNA.
Transforming into Kamen Rider Faiz burns Orphnoch DNA, so humans who have been implanted with this DNA will quickly run out and no longer be able to use the Faiz Gear. Humans with insufficient DNA are rejected by the Faiz Gear with the word 'error'. Orphnochs may use the Faiz Gear more often (in their human form only), but their DNA breaks down with continued use.
Users[]
Original Series[]
- Takumi Inui (Wolf Orphnoch)
- Yuji Kiba (Horse Orphnoch)
- Akai (Cactus Orphnoch)
- Naoya Kaido (Snake Orphnoch)
- Itsuro Takuma (Centipede Orphnoch)
- Masato Kusaka (Kamen Rider Kaixa)
In the original Kamen Rider 555 series, its first known, and primary wearer is Takumi Inui.
The Faiz Gear was stolen and utilized (all on different occasions) by Akai, Naoya Kaido, and Takuma Itsurou. Masato Kusaka used the gear once to trick Kiba and Takumi into thinking they betrayed each other.
During the short time Takumi was going through a crisis, Kiba temporarily used the Gear until he returned. By the end of the series, the Gear was still intact.
Kamen Rider Decade[]
In an alternate version of reality where Kamen Rider 555 takes place that appeared in Kamen Rider Decade, the Faiz Gear is only shown to be used by Takumi Ogami himself.
D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4[]
In an alternate timeline created by Shocker, the Great Leader of Shocker gains a physical appearance similar to Takumi Inui and transforms into Faiz via the Legend Faiz Signal Bike.

Once transformation is completed, the Faiz Armor has several key features in its design to offer protection to the user. Like all Rider gears, the Faiz armor manifests when the Faiz Driver generates Photon Blood (フォトンブラッド Foton Buraddo), a glowing substance generates the soft Sol Foam suit, Sol Metal armor, and Fullmetal Lung chest armor via traveling through the red Photon Streams that ends at the Photon Terminals at the gauntlet and Power Anklet greaves, the right Anklet having a Energy Holster that the Faiz Pointer can be connected to. The helmet is unique due to its Global Feeler antenna to link up to Smart Brain's networks and Ultimate Finder visor that gives Faiz incredible vision to see in darkness, giving the illusion of a glowing eye, and a limited amount of x-ray vision.

Axel Form is a form where Faiz can now move at the speed of sound for usually 10 seconds, his physical attacks also becomes 1.5 times stronger and he can perform a new variety of his regular finishing techniques. It has been hinted twice that Axel form later on became able to move at the speed of light as shown in Decade and Wizard.
The wearer must be in Faiz’s basic form to transform, with the Faiz Axel watch attached, transferring the Axel Memory from it to the Faiz Driver. When this is complete, the Full Metal Lung chest plates will rise out of their recesses and rotate from the scapula to form shoulder pads and reveal the Faiz Core in the center of the chest.
The Sol Foam remains black, while the Photon Streams turn silver and the Ultimate Finder turns red and "Start Up" begins. Once Faiz has reverted after "Time Out", the Mission Memory keys are returned to their respective holders. The transformation usually fatigues Faiz and has never been done 2 times in the same scene. This ability was used mainly by Takumi, the suit's predominant user, though Yuji used it once when he took over temporarily as Faiz.
Appearances: 555 Episodes 21-22, 31-32, 39-40, 44-45, 50, Paradise Lost, Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen, Kamen Rider 4 Episode 2, Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever

By inserting the Faiz Phone into the Faiz Blaster briefcase and entering the transformation code again, Faiz can access Blaster Form (ブラスタフォーム, Burastā Fōmu), the most powerful form of the Faiz Gear. The amount of Photon Blood that the Faiz Gear produces increases to the extreme where it overflows from the Photon Streams and spreads itself over the Sol Foam and the Sol Metal, changing their color to red. Faiz also receives a new, more powerful, set of Full Metal Lung with a backpack like device attached to it called Photon Field Floater (フォトンフィールドフローター, Foton Fīrudo Furōtā) that releases constant waves of Photon energy to give Faiz Blaster flying capacities. By focusing the release pattern however, the thrusters of the Photon Field Floater can be used as powerful energy cannons called the Bloody Cannons (ブラッディ・キャノン, Buraddi Kyanon). Faiz's signature Crimson Smash attack has been powered up significantly. The Blaster Crimson Smash is so tremendously powerful that damaging Photon Energy waves radiate from the point of impact and destroy everything around it.
All of these new abilities and more, except for his Crimson Smash kick which can be performed without the Faiz Pointer, are accessed by inputting codes into the Faiz Blaster, which also holds the Faiz Phone and can transform into Blaster and Blade modes for the Photon Blaster and Photon Breaker Exceed Charges.

Derivations[]
Notes[]
- Although the name "Faiz" of Kamen Rider Faiz is from the Greek word/symbol Φ's (Phi's), the "Faiz" spelling is maybe a misspelling of the word "Fives". This is the same as "Kaixa" of Kamen Rider Kaixa which can be interpreted as "Kaizer/Kaiser" (in Japanese, Kaiser (カイザー) is pronounced as "Kaizā").
- Incidentally, Faiz means "victorious" in Arabic (فأز/fa'iz), which references to Faiz's victory over Smart Brain's Orphnoch plot by rending the Orphnoch King comatose.
- Despite being referred to as "FAIZ," other variations in his name include the following:
- Kamen Rider 555
- Kamen Rider Phi
- Kamen Rider Fives
- Kamen Rider Phi's
- Kamen Rider Φ's
- Usual spelling for the series entry is "Kamen Rider 555" (仮面ライダー555 ), with the Rider's being "Kamen Rider Faiz" (仮面ライダーファイズ ).
- Kamen Rider Faiz's suit design is often thought to be inspired by a firefly, however, it is actually modeled after a shark. In the Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders Super Spin-off net movies, Faiz's antennae resemble a shark's dorsal fin and the mouth plate incorporates triangular designs akin to shark teeth.[6] According to Shin-ichiro Shirakura, early concepts of the show featured marine animal-themed Riders and Faiz has no firefly motif.[7][8]
- The name of Faiz's Axel Form may refer to the "axle" (different spelling; "axel" is a figure skating move named after a person) that a vehicle's wheels spin on to move, or may be a mistaken Romanization of "accel(erate)", meaning to change speeds, usually to become faster. The latter makes sense because Axel Form's ability is a burst of super speed.
- Faiz holds a tie of the most known users with Drive and Delta at 9 users.
- Kamen Rider Faiz is the safest Gear compared to other Smart Brain Gears as it does not cause as many side effects as the other Gears.
- The Faiz Gear is the first "talking" transformation device within the franchise. This was probably due to the intended "phone" motif of the show, which will be referenced years later with Moshi Moshi Faiz, despite the talking belt having become a tradition already.
