This article is about a rider machine in Kamen Rider Gaim. |
The Sakura Hurricane (サクラハリケーン, Sakura Harikēn) is the first of the Lock Vehicles available to be used by the Armored Riders and Genesis Armored Riders, which is summoned by unlocking the Sakura Hurricane Lockseed.
All known Lock Vehicles in possession of Yggdrasill Corporation had been sabotaged by Genesis Armored Rider Sigurd as well as their main Crack portal to avoid interference with his conquest for the Forbidden Fruit.
Design[]
Sakura Hurricane consists of the following parts:
- Shield Chip (シールドチップ, Shīrudo Chippu) is the windshield of Sakura Hurricane. It also fulfills the role of radar, and in addition to detecting surrounding conditions during driving, collect data necessary for traveling.
- Bloom Processor (ブルームプロセッサー, Burūmu Purosessā) is the flower-shaped control device that controls the function of Sakura Hurricane. It controls all functions such as power system, navigation while driving, support for posture control. Spatial projection display is carried and instruments such as dimension indicator can be projected from here and displayed.
- Dimension Shifter (ディメンションシフター, Dimenshon Shifutā) is a cylinder-shaped warp driving device that artificially generates distortion of space or joins the spaces apart together.
- Front Vine (フロントバイン, Furonto Bain) is an oscillator installed on the fender, that generates an energy shield to protect passengers and car body from gravity anomalies that occur when passing through a crack in space.
- Petalleaf (ペタルリーフ, Petarurīfu) is a cylinder-shaped energy shield oscillator. Cooperate with Front Vine to create an energy shield covering the vehicle body and passengers.
- Ancient Locker (アンチェインドロッカー, Ancheindo Rokkā) is the armor to guard the equipment of the rear wheel and power transmission system. It also has the role of protecting the car body from external shocks occurring during sub-space traveling.
- YGE-001 (ワイジーイーゼロゼロワン, Waijīī-zerozerowan)is a four-stroke in-line four-cylinder gasoline engine of Sakura Hurricane. By utilizing a part of the output of the dimension shifter with the main power during normal traveling, the ordinary 150% acceleration can be obtained momentarily.
- Bell Housing Drum (ベルハウジングドラム, Beru Haujingu Doramu) is a 2-piston-caliper-hydraulic-disc brake. With a strong stopping power, the braking distance is reduced to 40% of the usual braking system.
- Planas Seat (プラナスシート, Puranasu Shīto) is the riding seat of Sakura Hurricane. The special resin cushion inside the seat freely deforms according to the attitude of the passenger, and absorbs the impact and prevents the balance from collapsing. It also supports acrobatic movements such as running at high speed and jumping off from high altitude.
- Radial Grounder (ラジアルグラウンダー, Rajiaru Guraundā) is the all-round type tires for both on-road and off-road use. It is gathered up with high quality such as grip, brake effectiveness and controllability.

History[]
Armored Rider Gaim was given the prototype Sakura Hurricane on the house by Lock Dealer Sid who, while also giving the prototype Rose Attacker to Armored Rider Baron, made the point that an update was needed as the first confrontation between two Armored Riders advanced beyond a simple Inves Game. Facing each other in a bike race, the two Armored Riders were shocked to find themselves transported to the Helheim Forest via cracks that had suddenly generated when the Lock Vehicles reached their top speed. [Shock! My Rival has a Banana Transformation!] While Kaito left to explore, Gaim had his first confrontation with Armored Rider Zangetsu, and fled back to Zawame after he was defeated. [Birth! The Third Rider is Grapes!]
Armored Rider Ryugen borrowed Gaim's Sakura Hurricane to catch up with the Evolved Inoshishi Inves, while Gaim was in Suika Arms. [Great Ball Watermelon, Big Bang!]
Gaim used the Sakura Hurricane to rescue Mai Takatsukasa when she was lost in the Helheim Forest. Humorously, Gaim, upon entering the forest, found himself landing flat on the ground as the Sakura Hurricane had driven through the crack off a hill. [Baron's New Power, Mango!]
Alongside Ryugen's Rose Attacker, Gaim used the Sakura Hurricane to enter the Helheim Forest where they would acquire a Helheim's Fruit in order to capture an Inves. [The Monster Inves Capture Battle!]
[Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle]
A Sakura Hurricane was provided to Armored Rider Kurokage by Sid for Christmas along with a Rose Attacker for Armored Rider Gridon, having been convinced by Mitsuzane and Kouta who had arranged a contest between the Armored Riders to collect the most Lockseeds in the Helheim Forest, actually a cover to uncover the secret of the forest while using their rival Riders as decoys against the intimidating white Armored Rider. Learning of the contest via Beat Rider Hotline, Armored Rider Bravo decided to join the game as well and so acquired his own Sakura Hurricane. [Rider Great Assembly! Revealing the Mystery of the Forest!]

[The New Arms! Jimber Lemon is Born!]
During the Underground Empire Badan crisis, Gaim rode his Sakura Hurricane to catch up with Kamen Rider Decade as he was defeated by Kamen Rider Fifteen. [Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai]
[The New Formidable Enemy: Over Lord]
Riding a Sakura Hurricane, Kouta engaged in a bike chase against Kaito's Rose Attacker amidst their warring Inves armies during their final battle. Gaim struck Baron off his Rose Attacker, who proceeded to switch to a Dandeliner where he soon returned the favor by striking Gaim's Sakura Hurricane, leading him to summon a Dandeliner and continue the chase. [The Fated Two's Final Battle!]
Rider Grand Prix[]
Gaim, as a Shocker Rider, participates in the Rider Grand Prix race, riding his Sakura Hurricane. His bike, along with Double's Revolgarry, is destroyed in the race by Rider 3's TriCyclone. [Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3]
