The Suiseiken Nagare (水勢剣流水 lit. "Water Current Sword Nagare")[1] is the transformation device and personal weapon of Kamen Rider Blades.
Design[]
The Suiseiken Narage is composed of the following parts:
- Seiken Swordbody[2] (聖剣ソード本体, Seiken Sōdohontai): The base of the sword.
- Sword Grip (ソードグリップ, Sōdo Gurippu): The handle. It determines the person who is selected by the Suiseiken Nagare.
- Nagare Trigger (ナガレトリガー, Nagare Torigā): The trigger. When triggered, the Suiseiken Nagare reads its user's intentions and initializes Rider Finishers.
- Suiseiken Nagare Emblem (水勢剣流水エンブレム, Suiseiken Nagare Enburemu): The blue hilt decorated with Blades' emblem. It can generate holy water (聖なる水, seinaru mizu) that can quench the thirst of righteous beings and purify wicked entities.
- Tidalzin (タイダルジン, Taidarujin, lit. "Tidal Blade"): The silver blade section. It has been forged by holy water over several years, and the blade has the ability to become sharper as it gets wetter.
- Nagare Soul (ナガレソウル, Nagare Sōru): The blade's clear blue section. It is a blade that can carry wisdom. By pressing a Wonder Ride Book against the Shingan Reader, the Suiseiken Nagare can embody and hold its contained lore for attacks.
- Shingan Reader (シンガンリーダー, Shingan Rīdā, lit. "Mind's Eye Reader"): The reading device at the tip of the blade. By pressing it against the special speed-reading metal fitting Spireader located on the back cover of a Wonder Ride Book, the Suiseiken Nagare can read the book's lore. As a result, it becomes possible to temporarily hold all the power of the Wonder Ride Book's lore in the Seiken for finishing attacks.
Functionality[]
Transformation[]
To transform, the user inserts one to three Wonder Ride Books into the corresponding slots on the belt and pulls out the sword.
When transforming into his base form, Lion Senki, Blades appears in a library surrounded by surging water. He performs a single horizontal slash before a lion released from the book circles him and forms armor, with the slash forming the visor, completing the transformation. Transforming with more than one Wonder Ride Book results in other constructs being released from the additional books and forming special armor around the corresponding section of the body.
When assuming Tategami Hyoujuusenki form, the water surrounding the library freezes up as the white lion is released from the book and ice spikes begin to form.
Combat[]
Like the Kaenken Rekka, Rintaro's determination of protecting and saving Mei, when hearing out Touma's moral words, makes his sword evolve to its true power, also having the ability to separate a Megid from a human.
Finisher[]
- Main article: Reading Finishers
There are five ways to activate a finisher with the Suiseiken Nagare:
- Pulling the trigger on the sword twice while it's docked in the Swordriver.
- Pulling the trigger on the sword and pulling it out.
- Scanning up to three Wonder Ride Books on the sword's tip and pulling the trigger.
- Docking the sword into the left-hand Hissatsuholder, pulling the trigger, and pulling it back out.
- Scanning the Dragon Booster or King Lion Booster on the sword's tip and pulling the trigger.

Leo Blizzard Cascade (レオ・ブリザード・カスケード, Reo Burizādo Kasukēdo): Blades forms a giant icicle in the air and launches it down toward the enemy, who catches it. He then jumps into the air and performs a flying kick covered in snow into the icicle, causing it to crush the enemy before Blades breaks through the icicle himself.

The enemy is then frozen in a block of ice while spikes of ice emerge from the ground around them. Shortly after, the frozen enemy shatters along with the ice spikes.
- Blades delivers two light blue energy slashes to an enemy, partially freezing them in place. He then thrusts Suiseiken Nagare forward, producing a barrage of small icicles that strikes the enemy.

Lionel Hydro Stream/Rekka Iai: Blades charges Suiseiken Nagare with water and Kaenken Rekka with fire before launching two energy slashes colored blue and red, respectively.

Hydro Giga Omega Drive (ハイドロギガオメガドライブ, Haidoro Giga Omega Doraibu): This finisher is performed by activating Suiseiken Nagare's finisher with the Swordriver, then tapping the Specter Gekikou Senki Wonder Ride Book. Specter charges Suiseiken Nagare with blue energy and the Deep Slasher with purple energy. He then performs a a circular purple energy slash with the Deep Slasher that sets the enemy on fire, followed by a circular blue energy slash with Suiseiken Nagare that creates a splash of water upon impact. Next, Specter performs an X-shaped purple and blue energy slash using the weapons together before running past the enemy while delivering a simultaneous slash with both swords.
Wonder Ride Book[]
Wonder World Story of Suiseiken Nagare Wonder Ride Book (ワンダーワールド物語 水勢剣流水ワンダーライドブック, Wandā Wārudo Monogatari Suiseiken Nagare Wandā Raido Bukku) is based on Suiseiken Nagare.
Behind the Scenes[]
A shorter prop version of Suiseiken Nagare is used by actors when performing Blades' transformation sequence.
Portrayal[]
The Suiseiken Nagare is voiced by Akio Otsuka (大塚 明夫, Ōtsuka Akio), who has voiced various characters in Super Sentai, including Hades God Dagon in Mahou Sentai Magiranger and Champ/Oushi Black in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.
Concept Art[]
Notes[]
- Unlike the in-show Suiseiken Nagare which is an entirely new sword, the detachable Suiseiken Nagare Emblem is sold as a standalone unit (in which the Lion Senki Wonder Ride Book is also included) that attaches itself to the already existing Seiken Swordbody that comes with the DX Seiken Swordriver.
- By scanning the Suiseiken Nagare Emblem on the Shingan Reader of the Seiken Swordbody, it will announce the corresponded Seiken, which confirms mode changes as well as the changes of light and sounds akin to those of the Suiseiken Nagare.
