Masashi can transform into Kamen Rider Scissors using his Card Deck and V Buckle upon forming a contract with Volcancer. His Visor, the Scissorsvisor (シザースバイザー, Shizāsu Baizā), is a claw-equipped gauntlet on his left arm that also functions as his personal weapon. Scissors' jumping height and running speed are identical to Ryuki's, but his kicking power is lower in exchange for a slightly higher punching power.
Through the use of his Strike Vent Advent Card, Scissors can arm himself with the Scissorspinch (シザースピンチ, Shizāsu Pinchi), an arm-mounted claw derived from Volcancer's left pincer. His Guard Vent equips him with the Shelldefense (シェルディフェンス, Sheru Difensu), a shield derived from the armor plating on Volcancer's back.
This form consists of the following parts[6]:
- S Signal (Sシグナル, S Shigunaru): The green gem on the forehead. A radar sensor that informs the position of the enemy.
- Vol Antenna (ボルアンテナ, Boru Antena): The antennas. They allow Scissors to communicate with Volcancer.
- Solid Face Shield (ソリッドフェイスシールド, Soriddo Feisu Shīrudo): A face protector made of solid Armetal (アーメタル, Āmetaru). It allows Scissors to operate in areas contaminated with toxic gas.
- Gold Eye (ゴールドアイ, Gōrudo Ai): The eyes. They allow Scissors to see enemies up to 10km away. Just like the other riders, they also have infrared vision.
- Vol Chest (ボルチェスト, Boru Chesuto): The chest armor.
- Granmail (グランメイル, Guranmeiru): A specially strengthened skin that covers the wearer's body, allowing them to stay in the Mirror World for 9 minutes and 55 seconds. If the transformation is cancelled, the user will lose the ability to fight and become monster food.
- Zippetto Thread (ジペット・スレッド, Jipetto Sureddo): The ports all over the body. They are remote control devices used to control Volcancer. They are located on the back, the shoulders, wrists, sides of the belt, kneepads and back of the legs.
- Force Bone (フォース・ボーン, Fōsu Bōn): The lines on the suit. They are control organs that are located on the waist, on both arms, and the back of legs. They distribute the power throughout the body in a well-balanced manner.
- Vol Knuckle (ボルナックル, Boru Nakkuru): The handguards. They are made of Armetal.
- Silver Armor (シルバーアーマー, Shirubā Āmā): The shin armor. They are made of strong and lightweight Armetal, and are as tough as diamonds.
- Leg Silver (レッグシルバー, Reggu Shirubā): The shoes. They allow Scissors to perform the "Scissors Attack".
By using his Final Vent, Scissors can execute his finisher, the Scissors Attack (シザースアタック, Shizāsu Attaku), in Volcancer launches Scissors into the air with its claws. Scissors then curls into a ball and rapidly spins in the air before crashing into the enemy.

Notes[]
- Though clearly being for selfish reasons, Masashi's specific motivation for entering the Rider War, his intended wish if victorious, is never actually stated.
- Scissors is the first Kamen Rider to serve entirely as an antagonist.
- While current sources such as the Kamen Rider Zukan refer to Sudo as being 28, many older sources such as his original TV Asahi page and some photobooks refer to him as being 24. He was only listed as being 28 on TV Asahi's page for a few months before having it quickly edited.
