Kamen Rider Zangetsu

This article is about a rider form used by several identities in Kamen Rider Gaim.

Kamen Rider Zangetsu

Kamen Rider Zangetsu (仮面ライダー斬月（ザンゲツ）, Kamen Raidā Zangetsu, lit. "Slaying Moon") may refer to any of the following characters:

Arms

Like the other Armored and Genesis Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Zangetsu/Zangetsu Shin's forms are called Arms (アームズ, Āmuzu). His personal Lockseeds are styled in pure Japanese. All of Zangetsu/Zangetsu Shin's Japanese Samurai-themed Arms' helmets share the title Kabuto (カブト, Kabuto lit. "Helmet"), while his visors share the title Eye (アイ, Ai).

As Armored Rider Zangetsu, the user's Sengoku Driver plays Japanese horagai music and announces "Soiya" (ソイヤ, "Soiya") (or in Gaim Gaiden 2, it announces "Iyo" (いよ, "Iyo")) before every transformation. By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, they can activate one of three finishing moves based on their 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). In addition to the Sengoku Driver's finishing moves, Zangetsu can perform a Fruits Charge (フルーツチャージ, Furūtsu Chāji) finishing attack by inserting a Lockseed into the Drive Launch of their Musou Saber.

As Genesis Armored Rider Zangetsu Shin, the user's Genesis Driver announces "Soda" (ソーダ, Sōda) before every transformation. By pushing the Genesis Driver's Seaboll Compressor into the Energy Lockseed after transforming from one to two times, they can activate one of two finishing moves based on their current Arms form: Squash (スカッシュ, Sukasshu) or Sparking (スパーキング, Supākingu). In addition to the Genesis Driver's finishing moves, Zangetsu Shin can perform a Sonic Volley (ソニックボレー, Sonikku Borē) finishing attack by inserting an Energy Lockseed into the Energy Drive Bay of their Sonic Arrow.

Ride Wear

Watermelon Arms

The Ride Wear (ライドウェア, Raido Uēa) is Zangetsu's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Zangetsu'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 directly at the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider. When Zangetsu assumes Watermelon Arms, it changes the golden parts of his Ride Wear to red.

Zangetsu is one of only a select few Armored Riders who are equipped with a Musou Saber by default, which is held on the left side of his Sengoku Driver with a holster.

The Ride Wear that Zangetsu'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.

Rider Statistics

• Rider Height: 206 cm
• Rider Weight: 109 kg

Ability Parameters

• Punching Power: 10.2 t
• Kicking Power: 13 t
• Maximum Jump Height: 24 m
• Maximum Running Speed: 100 m per 6.1 seconds

Melon Arms (メロンアームズ, Meron Āmuzu) is Zangetsu's honeydew melon-based default form. Accessed through the Melon Lockseed, this form bears the Melo Kabuto (メロウカブト, Merō Kabuto, lit. "Melo Helmet") helmet with the Pulp Eye (パルプアイ, Parupu Ai) visor. This form debuts in episode 2.

While assuming Melon Arms, Zangetsu dons the Melon Armor Part (メロンアーマーパート, Meron Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Melon Defender.

In terms of overall power stats, Zangetsu dominates by hitting harder than Gridon's hardest punch and Gaim/Kurokage's fiercest kicks. In terms of agility though, he outjumps Gaim in Pine Arms by two whole meters and is about as fast as Baron in Banana Arms. Zangetsu moves at blinding speeds in quick succession during close combat. Utility-wise, Zangetsu can also use the Melon Defender as a weapon and can be thrown like a boomerang and also use the Musou Saber at ridiculous swinging speeds with the option of also using it as a firearm weapon, countering even Armored Rider Ryugen, who specializes in gunslinging. As a result, Zangetsu is considered as the strongest Armored Rider among the original seven Sengoku Driver users as he was able to defeat five out of six Armored Riders consecutively without breaking a sweat and was able to withstand Armored Rider Kurokage's Matsubokkuri Sparking.

As the strongest out of the original Sengoku Driver users, Zangetsu is even able to fight toe to toe against Zangetsu Shin, an upgraded form using the superior Genesis Driver and superior Class-S Lockseed despite the fact that not even Armored Rider Bravo could stand a chance against Gaim's Jimber Lemon Arms, a slightly weaker or equivalent to the Genesis Driver's output. Zangetsu is also able to deflect Sonic Arrow shots with relative ease whereas Armored Rider Baron and Armored Rider Gaim both struggled against Genesis Armored Rider Sigurd.

This Arms has at least three finishing attacks.

• Sengoku Driver finisher:
  • Mujin Kick (無刃キック, Mujin Kikku, lit. "No-blade Kick"): Unknown, as this finisher was only revealed through the Zangetsu Lockseed and Melon Energy variation.
  • Melon Musou Zan (メロン無双斬, Meron Musō Zan, lit. "Melon Unrivaled Slash"): Zangetsu activates the Squash function on his Sengoku Driver and charges the Musou Saber with melon-shaped energy before slashing the enemy.
  • Melou Blast (メロウブラスト, Merou Burasuto): After Zangetsu activates his Sengoku Driver's Squash function, he throws his Melon Defender charged with maskmelon slice-shaped energy at the enemy. He delivers a lime green energy slash with the Musou Saber, and stabs the enemy in the chest. A apparition of maskmelon rind explodes on the enemy before they themselves explode.

Takatora retired this form's use when given the new Genesis Driver, transforming into Zangetsu Shin, but recovered his old Sengoku Driver after his Genesis Driver was taken from him. Unfortunately, he permanently lost the ability to transform into Zangetsu when his Sengoku Driver and Melon Lockseed were destroyed while fighting Mitsuzane as Zangetsu Shin. However, in Movie War Full Throttle, he acquires one of Mecha Kurokage's Sengoku Driver after his younger brother destroys the Mecha Kurokages and a new Melon Lockseed which changes from a single Helheim fruit left by Mai's power.

While assuming Kachidoki Arms, Zangetsu dons the Kachidoki Armor Part (カチドキアーマーパート, Kachidoki Āmā Pāto, lit. "Triumph Armor Part") and his Arms Weapon is Hinawatenka-DJ-Ju, the white-colored variant of Hinawadaidai-DJ-Ju. He also possesses twin green sashimono marked with his emblem in black called the Kachidoki Bata (カチドキ旗(バタ), lit. "Triumph Flags"), which are normally attached to his back, but can be used and wielded as close combat staff-like weapons.

• Sengoku Driver finisher:
  • Maskmelon Raging Wave (甜瓜烈波, Tenka Reppa): After Zangetsu activates his Sengoku Driver's Sparking function, he summons and charges the Kachidoki Bata with lime green energy, before delivers several maskmelon-based energy slashes.

Watermelon Arms (ウォーターメロンアームズ, Uōtāmeron Āmuzu) is Zangetsu's watermelon-based form that is accessed through the experimental Watermelon Lockseed. Compared to Melon Arms, this form has higher punching and kicking power, as well as a slightly faster running speed. However, this form has a worse jumping height then Melon Arms, presumably due to the weight of the Watermelon Gatling.

While assuming Watermelon Arms, Zangetsu dons the Watermelon Armor Part (ウォーターメロンアーマーパート, Uōtāmeron Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Watermelon Gatling.

Takatora only used this form once during his final battle with Touka Akatsuki. After that, he never used the Watermelon Lockseed again due to the recoil caused by his Watermelon Gatling Gun weakening him.

The Rider Arms (ライダーアームズ, Raidā Āmuzu) are forms based on past Kamen Riders. With the exception of Fourze Arms, all of these forms are exclusive to Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing. However, some of these forms are also used in the norm by other Armored and Genesis Armored Riders.

• Fourze
• Kabuto
• Decade

• Rider Rocket Punch (ライダーロケットパンチ, Raidā Roketto Panchi): A punch attack with the Rocket Module.

He was not, however, shown to activate a function on his Sengoku Driver beforehand for either finisher. The Fourze Lockseed's phrases for the Sengoku Driver functions are in the toyline.

• Squash: Limit Break (リミットブレイク, Rimitto Bureiku)
• Au Lait: Drill On (ドリルン, Doriru On)
• Sparking: Rocket On (ロケットン, Roketto On)

An apparent side effect of the Legend Rider Lockseeds is channeling the represented Rider's personality, with Takatora almost calling out "Space is Here!" (宇宙キター, Uchū Kitā) before stopping himself halfway. Zangetsu is the only Armored Rider to resist as such, likely due to his opposing personality.

This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle.

This form debuts in episode 12.

While assuming Melon Energy Arms, Zangetsu Shin dons the Melon Energy Armor Part (メロンエナジーアーマーパート, Meron Enajī Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Sonic Arrow.

As expected, the evolution from Melon Arms to Melon Energy Arms has boosted Zangetsu Shin's power, with his punching and kicking power increased exponentially. The only thing that hasn't changed, however, is the jumping height and the maximum running speed. Compared to his fellow Genesis Armored Riders, Zangetsu Shin can throw the 2nd hardest punch and his kicks are the third strongest. His agility stats, however, are about average.

This Arms has three finishing attacks.

• Genesis Driver finisher:
  • Mujin Kick (無刃キック, Mujin Kikku, lit. "No-blade Kick"): Zangetsu Shin activates the Squash function on his Genesis Driver and fuels all the energy from the Melon Energy Lockseed to its maximum potential before he jumps up and hits the target with his kick.
  • Unnamed Rider Slash: Zangetsu Shin activates the Squash function on his Genesis Driver and fuels all the energy from the Melon Energy Lockseed into his body, which is then converted into his Sonic Arrow before he slashes the target.
• Sonic Arrow finishers:
  • Sonic Volley (ソニックボレー, Sonikku Borē): Zangetsu Shin locks the Melon Energy Lockseed into the Sonic Arrow and fires a powerful arrow shot that when it hits a target can pierce through their body and slice it into multiple pieces before exploding.

Takatora lost access to this form after he was betrayed by Ryoma and the others. After that, his Genesis Driver would be used by Mitsuzane. Later, Ryoma used the kill switch to disable the Genesis Driver permanently. However, in Movie War Full Throttle, Takatora acquires Mecha Ryoma's Genesis Driver after the latter's defeat.

Notes

• Takatora's version of the Kachidoki Lockseed is called the Shin Kachidoki Lockseed (真・カチドキロックシード, Shin・Kachidoki Rokkushīdo, lit. "True Triumph Lockseed"), possibly an allusion to the Zangetsu Shin form.
• Zangetsu’s Watermelon Arms is a recolor of his Melon Arms, and his shield is the same mold, with a Gatling gun barrel at the end.
