Despite possessing a Seed of Agito, Ryo transforms into an incomplete and feral version of Agito. Despite being imperfect, Gills is physically stronger than Agito and can match him in a one-on-one battle. Gills is also extremely resilient, having survived several near-death injuries. However, the transformation was unstable, causing Ryo's body began to undergo accelerated cellular decay. The damage to his body was severe enough to kill him, though he was revived by the OverLord. After dying a second time and being resurrected by Mana Kazaya, Ryo discovered that his body chemistry was also altered and is now able to accommodate the transformation.
Gills is equipped with an assortment of biological weapons. He is armed with the Gills Claw blades on his wrists and the Gills Heel Claw blades on his heels. He is also able to extend tentacles called the Gills Fillers from his wrists. Gills is able to open his faceplate, revealing the Demon Fang Crusher jaws.
Gills initially had much shorter horns before they grew to their full size during his battle with Anguis Masculus. Gills was later temporarily forced back into this form when he was defeated by the El of the Ground.
Kamen Rider Gills has the following parts:
- Demon Eyes (デモンアイズ, Demon Aizu) - The vision is sharp enough to identify a signboard that's 20km away and sees through steel walls. Gills can see in the dark as if it was daytime.
- Gills Antler (ギルスアントラー, Girusu Antorā) - Sensory organs that control vision, smell and hearing. It also releases excess energy to prevent accidental self-destruction. Due to not having a Wiseman's Monolith, his power is limited, and the antlers shrink when Gills is low on power.
- Wiseman's Orb (ワイズマン・オーヴ, Waizuman Ōvu) - Also known as the "Third Eye", Gills can instantly see the enemy's weaknesses. It is also possible to blind the enemy with a powerful light and to manipulate people with hypnotic waves. It is composed of almost the same material as the “Philosopher's Stone” and transmits the information obtained to the brain.
Demon's Fang Crusher
- Demon's Fang Crusher (デモンズファングクラッシャー, Demonzu Fangu Kurasshā) - Sharp fangs that can bite through steel. It emits an ultrasonic wave called Gills Horn (ギルスホーン, Girusu Hōn) to disorient the enemy.
- Bio Chest (バイオチェストBaio Chesuto) - A biological armor created by the “Philosopher's Stone” and has a self-healing function. The armor is growing day by day, eroding away and integrating itself into Ryo's body.
- Mutate Skin (ミューテートスキン, Myūtēto Sukin) - Biologically armored skin with the hardness of diamonds. As it is imperfect, it is eating away Ryo's body to absorb nutrients.
- Power Gold (パワーゴールド, Pawā Gōrudo) - The part of the body where the most energy is stored.
- Shoulder Shell (ショルダーシェル, Shorudā Sheru) - A shoulder pad made of a reinforced exoskeleton. Even a magnum bullet is unable to damage it.
- Live Arms (ライヴアームズ, Raivu Āmuzu) - A biological armor that infests Gill's arms and absorbs energy. Gills can freely extend "Gills Feeler" or "Gills Claw" from his arms.
- Live Legs (ライヴレッグス, Raivu Reggu) - A biological armor that infests Gill's legs and absorbs energy. Gills can freely extend "Gills Heel Claw" from his legs.
- Power Gold Anklet (パワーゴールドアンクレット, Pawā Gōrudo Ankuretto) - They send power from the "Philosopher's Stone" to the Live Legs.
- Handling Orb (ハンドリングオーヴ, Handoringu Ōvu) - An organ that allows Kamen Rider Gills to control the Live Arms and Live Legs. If destroyed, the arms and legs are no longer in control.
This form has two finishers:
- Gills Heel Claw (ギルスヒールクロウ, Girusu Hīru Kurō): With the Gills Heel Claw extended, Gills leaps into the air and delivers an overhead heel drop with enough power to pierce the enemy's body. He then tears away from the opponent with a flip kick, destroying them.
- Gills Hell Stab (ギルスヘルスタッブ, Girusu Heru Sutabbu): Gills grabs an enemy and throwing them to the sky, before he pointing out his middle and index fingers and extending them to pierce the opponent's body. He then tears away from the opponent with a flip kick, destroying them. This attack was only seen in Kamen Rider Agito: Three Great Riders.

Gills Ridewatch
Behind the scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Kamen Rider Gills' suit actor was Yoshifumi Oshikawa (押川 善文, Oshikawa Yoshifumi).
Production[]
- The motif is based on longhorn beetles[3]. The corners were designed by Ishimori Productions' Masato Hayase in the style of Inazuman[4][5]. At first, it was thought that the expansion and contraction of the horns would extend when powering up, just like the opening and closing gimmick of Agito, but since the shortened form did not look good, it was changed to the "power down" form[4].
- In 2009's Kamen Rider Decade, characters from past works appeared in large numbers, but Gills' shooting suit was severely damaged at this point, so it was not adopted[6].
