Faiz Driver
|
Designated "SB-555B", the Faiz Driver (ファイズドライバー, Faizu Doraibā) transformation device was developed by Smart Brain as a means to protect the Orphnoch King, constructed in the shape of a belt.
The Faiz Driver was designed for specific compatibility with the Faiz Phone, generating the photon streams that form the Faiz Armor when the Mission Memory is installed into the phone. Under normal circumstances, the belt is usually kept inside a briefcase along with the Faiz Pointer and the Faiz Shot, and is assembled by placing the latter two devices into the holsters on both sides of the belt. If the user presses End Call on the Faiz Phone or if the belt was somehow forcibly detached from the user, the armor dissolves.
Among the three Rider Gears, the Faiz Gear was the most balanced and the least taxing. Though it was weaker than the other gears, it was the fastest and had access to various gadgets (the Faiz Phone, Faiz Shot, Faiz Pointer and the Faiz Edge plus the help of the Autovajin) to suit any situation, and various forms (Accel Form, Blaster Form) that increased its power exponentially when fighting against powerful foes. Its biggest positive among the Gears in the series is that it has the least negative side effects. The Kaixa Gear immediately drains nearly all of the users' Orphenoch DNA after one use unless he or she has a substantial amount, while the Delta Gear has the possibility of making people addicted to battle. The Faiz Gear only drains Orphenoch DNA at a normal rate and has no other mental side effects.
Along with the SB-333B Delta Driver, this belt remains intact even after Takumi's final confrontation with the Arch Orphnoch.
World of Faiz
In the A.R. World of Faiz, the Faiz Driver was used by Takumi Ogami to become Kamen Rider Faiz. It was stolen by Daiki Kaito (Kamen Rider Diend), claiming it as his treasure in that world.
However, he relented and gave it back to Takumi, allowing him and Kamen Rider Decade to defeat the Orphnoch. Kaito instead stole the unused Orga Driver from the ruins of Smart Brain High School. [555 Faces, 1 Treasure]
Notes
- The SB-555 Faiz Driver is the first device to use the term 'Driver' in the Transformation Belt. The word 'Driver' in the belt would be used more consistently in the Phase 2 Heisei Era Riders beginning with Decade onward.
