The Transformation Belt Revice Driver (変身ベルト リバイスドライバー, Henshin Beruto Ribaisu Doraibā) is the transformation device primary used by Kamen Rider Revice, though it was also temporarily used by Kamen Riders Live and Evil.
Overview[]
The Revice Driver was created by George Karizaki as the core of the Revice System (リバイスシステム, Ribaisushisutemu) to combat the Deadmans.
The Revice System uses the Revice Driver and Vistamps to combine the demons hidden within the human body with the genetic memory of powerful species. The genetic information of an organism is extracted from the Vistamp and applied to both the user and their demon, creating two Kamen Riders. However, only a person capable of taming their inner demon can utilize it, otherwise it will materialize the inner demon as a Deadman.
Design[]
The Revice Driver is composed of the following parts:
- Vistamp Go Slot (バイスタンプゴースロット, Baisutanpu Gō Surotto): The Vistamp loading slot. By setting the Vistamp stamped on the stamping-type information input device Ohinjector (オーインジェクター, Ōinjekutā) and inputting commands with the roll function, the Buddy Up that materializes the demon is started through the Genome approval sequence. After transformation, it is used to activate a finishing move with two consecutive rolls or activate a Remix transformation by pressing the Activate Knock of the Vistamp between two rolls.
- Ohinjector (オーインジェクター, Ōinjekutā): The stamping-type information input device. It receives the power of various species of organisms by stamping the special information transmission code of the Vistamp, known as the Vistamp Code (バイスタンプコード, Baisutanpu Kōdo). It has been reported that the reaction speed is improved by 12% by applying exhaled air to the stamp surface of the Vistamp immediately before the stamping.
- Tail Grip (テールグリップ, Tēru Gurippu): The grip. It is gripped with the left hand when operating the Vistamp Go Slot. Fifty years ago, the special alloy Nigium (ニギウム, Nigimu) was developed in the process of researching the mysterious stamp found in the ruins of Central and South America and is used as the exterior material. This is a special alloy with excellent rigidity and high permeability due to its hexagonal molecular structure, and has the property of minimizing energy loss during interoperability with the Vistamp.
- Genomic Converter (ゲノミックコンバーター, Genomikku Konbātā): The built-in power source. It has the role of extracting high-purity energy, which is the source of life, from the genetic information stored in the Vistamp, then converting it into the powerful energy Genome Power (ゲノムパワー, Genomu Pawā) by accelerating and amplifying it before supplying it to the entire Revice System.
- Buddy Bind (バディバインド, Badi Baindo): The belt. It is deployed at the time as setting the Driver and fixes to the waist of the user. The wireless connection device Buddy Link (バディリンク, Badi Rinuk) is installed in the center of the rear, and it has the function of transmitting and transforming the ability of the Vistamp through the Buddy Buckle (バディバックル, Badi Bakkuru) equipped on the demon who is the partner of the user.
- Vistamp Holder (バイスタンプホルダー, Baisutanpu Horudā): Holders for carrying Vistamps. They are placed on the left and right sides of the Revice Driver and a Vistamp can be set in each.
Functionality[]
Transformation[]
When the user dons the Revice Driver, their inner demon is forcefully dragged back into their body if it is materialized at the time. By activating a Vistamp, a screen is materialized behind the user's back, displaying the user and the demon's inner dialogue like a messaging app. When the Vistamp is stamped onto the Ohinjector, the demon appears and flies around the user while carrying a giant empty projection of the Vistamp. The user then inserts the Vistamp into the Vistamp Go Slot and pulls it to the side, filling the giant Vistamp projection with liquid energy. The demon then stamps the projection onto the user while the Vistamp's seal appears in the chat as a sticker. The energy within the Vistamp surrounds the user and forms armor around them, transforming them into Kamen Rider Revi. At the same time, the seal from the chat transforms into a set of armor that attached to the demon, transforming it into Kamen Rider Vice.
Despite not usually doing so, Revi can transform by himself without Vice, as shown in Beyond Generations.
Remix[]
To transform into a Remix form, Kamen Rider Revi pulls the Vistamp to the side once before pressing the Activation Knock Button on the Vistamp. Pulling the Vistamp to the side again will initiate the Remix, during which Revi and Vice will grab onto each other in a position that mimics the shape of the animal that the Vistamp is based on. Two projections of the Vistamp's seal, one pink and one purple, appear before the armor of both Riders reconfigure to complete the Remix form. While in a Remix form, Revi and Vice have to be coordinated with each other or else they may separate, though they can immediately initiate the Remix again. The Remix may also be separated forcibly by an enemy.
Finisher[]
- Main article: Finisher (Revice)
After transformation, the user activates a finisher by pulling the Vistamp to the side twice.

Users (chronological order)[]
User | Kamen Rider | Episode Obtained | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Hiromi Kadota | Family! Contract! The Demon Whispers! | During the Deadmans attack on the Fenix ceremony, Hiromi attempted to use the Revice Driver to transform, but failed to do so because of his inability to control his inner demon, resulting in the creation of the Rex Deadman. | |
Ikki Igarashi | Kamen Rider Revi | Family! Contract! The Demon Whispers! | After Hiromi Kadota had failed to transform and Daiji Igarashi lost his composure to use the Driver, Ikki was told by George Karizaki to pick up the Revice Driver and control the inner demon that he formed a contact with. He then used it to transform into Kamen Rider Revi, with Vice being transformed into Kamen Rider Vice. |
Vice | Kamen Rider Jack Revice/Kamen Rider Ultimate Vice | Slam-Bang... Kukikaidan!? (First) Father and Child Weaving Together! The Ultimate Revice! (Second) |
Due to the Rolling Vistamp indefinitely materializing Vice in place of Ikki, he was able to use the Revice Driver himself to transform into Kamen Rider Jack Revice. When Ikki was restored to normal, he regained possession of the Driver. A second Revice Driver is later created by George for Vice to use for transformation into Kamen Rider Ultimate Vice, and later other Genomes. This driver vanished alongside Vice when Ikki lost his memories of Vice. |
Daiji Igarashi | Kamen Rider Live Marvelous | Revice Forward: Kamen Rider Live & Evil & Demons | After the Two Sidriver is destroyed, Daiji is given the Revice Driver from Ikki to transform. He later returns the driver to Ikki after the battle is over. |
Kagero | Kamen Rider Evil Marvelous |

Revice Driver Buckle (リバイスドライバーバックル, Ribaisu Doraibā Bakkuru): Allows any of the Geats Riders to access Revice Form, which is equipped with the Ohinbuster50. When used by Revi, it transforms him and Vice into Rex Genome. It is based on Kamen Rider Revice and their transformation belt, the Revice Driver.
Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
The Revice Driver is voiced by Shingo Fujimori (藤森 慎吾, Fujimori Shingo).
Notes[]
- The Revice Driver activation announcement sound is heard through early teaser trailers for the show, but never in the actual nor does the sound actually exist on the DX toy. It is heard once again in Revice Forward: Kamen Rider Live & Evil & Demons.
- According to producer Taku Mochizuki, the Ohinjector is based on the Magna Doodle.
- Aptly enough, the DX Revice Driver and Vistamps function similarly to the magnetic stamps on the Magna Doodle.
- As extension, hexagon patterns are featured through out the series, from the backgrounds to the equipment.
- The text conversation that appears in the background of Revi's transformation is influenced by LINE, a popular chatting application used in Japan.[2]
- In its inactive state, the front of the Driver contains the numbers 5 and 0, which represents the 50th Anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise.
