Primary Rider Final Forms

Every primary Kamen Rider's main Final Form from Kuuga to Geats

Secondary Rider Final Forms

Every secondary Kamen Rider's main Final Form from G3 to Tycoon

In the Kamen Rider Series, there is a recurring theme of form changes for each Kamen Rider, with the Final Form (最終フォーム, Saishū Fōmu) considered their most strongest and thematically important. They are also alternatively known as Strongest Form (最強フォーム, Saikyō Fōmu) or Final Power-up (最終パワーアップ, Saishū Pawā-appu).[1] While traditionally reserved for Primary Riders, some Supporting Riders have also attained Final Forms.

The concept of Final Forms traces back to the Showa Era Rider, Kamen Rider Stronger, with his Charge Up form. This trend has persisted through the Heisei and Reiwa Eras. In recent years, several Riders have accessed forms surpassing their Final Form, often shown in movies.

The majority of Final Forms are recognized by published media and merchandising. (ie; Rider Cards, Legend Rider Fullbottles, Ridewatches, Legend Rider Raise Buckles) However, the following list encompasses the latest power-ups of Kamen Riders featured in the main TV series. In cases where a Rider has not undergone a power-up in the show, forms shown in movies and other specials may be included.

Notes

  • Despite also being called "strongest forms", some Final Forms can be statistically weaker than Super Forms by slight margins. (ie; Den-O Liner Form, Zeronos Zero Form, Double CycloneJokerExtreme, AccelTrial, Wizard Infinity Style, Gaim Kiwami Arms, Drive Type Tridoron, and Build Genius Form) However, these Final Forms would possess special abilities or arsenals that serve to offset the weakened offensive output.
  • Kamen Rider Ibuki is the only Secondary Rider without a Final Form.
  • There are often moments towards the end of a series where Riders can transform directly into their Final Forms without using the corresponding form-accessing device or even their belt.
