Orange Arms (オレンジアームズ, Orenji Āmuzu) is Gaim's orange-based default form. Accessed through the Orange Lockseed, this form bears the Dai Kabuto (ダイカブト lit. "Orange Helmet") helmet.

While assuming Orange Arms, Gaim dons the Orange Armor Part (オレンジアーマーパート, Orenji Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Daidaimaru.

The Orange Armor Part consists of the following parts:

  • Dai Kabuto (ダイカブト, Dai Kabuto) is the helmet to protect the head of a Rider.
    • Peak Stem (ピークステム, Pīku Sutemu) is an analysis unit installed on the top of the head that monitors the wearer's biological information. It reads heart rate and physical or mental damage and try to cooperate with the Sengoku Driver so that the wearer's combat ability can be maximized.
    • Pulp Eye (パルプアイ, Parup Uai) is the visual line sensor section of a Rider. A myriad of small camera eyes is arranged radially and can be caught far beyond the human visual range.
    • Reversal Arm (リバーサルアーム, Ribāsaru Āmu) is a type of armor that protects the head, installed on the two sides of Pulp Eye. It has a role of receiving damage attacked to the head laterally to reduce damage.
    • Multi Dai Armor (マルチダイアーマー, Maruchi Dai Āmā) are multiple armors made by stacking several sheets of metal, installed on the back of the head. Because the armor is repulsive due to the electromagnetic force, it escapes pressure like a cushion and it greatly increases the durability to offset the damage the armor itself received.
  • Dai Lung (ダイラング, Dai Rangu) is the armor to protect the chest of a Rider. It boasts enough strength to scratch even if it is slashed with a sharp sword.
  • Dai Sleeve (ダイスリーブ, Dai Surību) is armor to protect the shoulder of a Rider. By taking two folded structures, it will mitigate wearer damage and protect the Rider.
This form is exclusive to Kamen Rider Gaim: Special Show


Behind the scenes[]

Portrayal[]

In Kamen Rider V3, General Yoroi was portrayed by Bunya Nakamura (中村 文弥, Nakamura Bunya). As Zarigarna, he was voiced by Ritsuo Sawa, his suit actor was Masaru Okada.[4]

Conception[]

In the rough design by Shotaro Ishinomori, the name is Yoroi Knight (ヨロイ騎士鬼士, Yoroi Kishi), and he had an armor-like design[5].

Origin[]

In Hirayama's writings and others, a profile that is not told in the series is set as follows:

  • He is a descendant of the Mongol hero Genghis Khan[6]. He build his own underground empire in the Mongolian desert to fulfilled his ancestor's dream of conquering the world. He organizes the Yoroi Clan, and succumbs to the power of Destron.
  • He is a murderer who can't sleep well unless he kills every day. Because of his cruelty and ability to take action, he was deeply trusted by the Leader.

Notes[]

  • At first, like Baron Kiba and Archbishop Tsubasa, he was scheduled to drop off in Episode 46, which will be around 5 episodes[7]. However, in the setting, he is deeply involved with Yuki, so it is impossible to let him leave, and would appear until the final episode[7].
  • Because of his deep connection with Yuki, compared to the other three executives, he often appears in later media works based on this work.
  • In the opening, he was credited as Yoroi Genshi (ヨロイ元師).
