The Yari Gamma (槍眼魔, Yari Ganma, lit. "Spear Eye Devil") is a Gamma which achieved evolution through a Yari. It is one of the first two Gamma, alongside the Katana Gamma, which are encountered by Takeru Tenkuji, with the Gamma having slain the youth prior to his resurrection as Kamen Rider Ghost.

History[]
The Yari Gamma was one of the first two Ganma which were summoned in a night-time ritual performed by Chikara Saionji, providing inanimate objects for them to immediately evolve. Yari and Katana proceeded on their hunt for the Ghost Eyecons the following day. While wreaking havoc the Ganma eventually came across a postman who proceeded to the Daitenku Temple to deliver a package to Takeru Tenkuji on his 18th birthday. The package, been sent by Takeru's deceased father ten years prior, contained a Ghost Eyecon which made him the target of the two Gamma as they caught up with it. Being the only one who could see the Gamma due to holding the Eyecon, Takeru tried to fight them off to protect his friends Akari Tsukimura and Onari. With the Gamma demanding that he give them the Eyecon, Takeru refused to give up his father's gift, confident that he could fight them if he could see them, only to be die by the Katana Gamma's hand.
However, the slain youth was resurrected by Sennin, who granted him a half-life to fight the Gamma as Kamen Rider Ghost. Guided by Yurusen, Takeru used the Ghost Eyecon which now contained his soul with the Ghost Driver to transform for the first time as he engaged the Gamma. The Yari Gamma became the first of the Gamma to be destroyed by Ghost as he performed his Omega Drive finisher for the first time. [Awaken! Self!]
Forms[]
Yari was created from a Gamma Eyecon (ガンマアイコン, Ganma Aikon) and merges with the spearhead of a jūmonji yari by Chikara Saionji's hand.
This Eyecon later is seen when Kamen Rider Ghost Ore Damashii used his Omega Drive Rider Kick finisher and defeated him, appearing after the destruction of Yari's Primal Body, landing alongside Yari's jettisoned Parka Ghost which reverted back into the the head of the yari, before the Eyecon ultimately explodes.
The Gamma Assault (眼魔アサルト, Ganma Asaruto, lit. "Eye Devil Assaut") are Gamma born from the Gamma Eyecon. They first appear in Primal Body (素体, Moto-tai). Gamma Assaults do not possess unique abilities of their own, but can gain powers of their own through being infused with an object around them.
- Powers and Abilities
- Intangibility
- A Gamma's primary ability is to turn themselves invisible and intangible to the public. Those whom wielded an Eyecon are capable of witnessing them.
- Infusion
- Gamma can infuse themselves with ordinary objects, converting said object into a Parka Ghost, to achieve a unique evolved form. Should the Gamma be defeated, the object will be restored to its original form as the Gamma is destroyed.
Through bonding with the spearhead of a jūmonji yari, the originally generic Gamma evolved into the Empowered Gamma (強化眼魔, Kyōka Ganma, lit."Empowered Eye Devil") known as Yari.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Yari Gamma's suit actor is Eitoku (永徳 ).
Concept Art[]
Yari Gamma was designed by Kazuhiko Shimamoto (島本 和彦, Shimamoto Kazuhiko).
Notes[]
- The Gamma's name and character are great references to his historical model, Hōzōin In'ei's type of spear.
- Its ability to elongate its Yari was inspired from Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang (Compliant Gold Rim Rod), one of the characters of the novel Journey to the West.
- The Yari Gamma's costume would later be modified into the Sohei Gamma costume. This may be the reason that, as of Empty! World of Dreams!, it is one of only three Gamma from the main series alongside the Katchu Gamma and the second Hikoki Gamma to be defeated and not have had a reappearance either as themselves or a Damashii for Igor.
