The Touch Transformation Spear Zikan Despear (タッチ変槍 ジカンデスピア, Tacchi Hensō Jikan Desupia) is the personal weapon of Kamen Rider Woz.[1]
Design[]
The Zikan Despear consists of the following parts:
- Despear Edge 'Yari' (デスピアエッジ・ヤリ, Desupia Ejji Yari) - Zikan Despear Yari Mode's spear tip. By concentrating high frequency energy sent from the black middle Centre Reel (センターリール, Sentā Rīru), penetration power is increased.
- Despear Edge 'Tsue' (デスピアエッジ・ツエ, Desupia Ejji Tsue) - Tsue Mode's hooked blade. By concentrating high frequency sent from the black middle 'Centre Reel', various types of attacks are made possible.
- Despear Edge 'Kama' (デスピアエッジ・カマ, Desupia Ejji Kama) - Kama Mode's blade made from the two Despear Edges. By concentrating high frequency sent from the black middle 'Centre Reel', various types of attacks are made possible.
- Despear Rotary (デスピアロータリー, Desupia Rōtarī) - The hinge upon which the Despear Edges sit. It sends energy into the 'Centre Reel'. When the Despear Edge is changed, the Despear Rotary changes the internal mechanisms to increase efficiency during combat. Additionally, it has a built-in Impact Sign (インパクトサイン, Inpakuto Sain): the Japanese characters within the Despear Rotary, which informs the user what mode the Zikan Despear is in.
- Prime Frame Circuit (プライムフレームサーキット, Puraimu Furēmu Sākitto) - The special structural material used to create the Zikan Despear's exterior. The design of the Despear allows the Prime Frame Circuit to wrap around important circuitry and internal mechanisms, protecting them during battle.
- Touch Sweeper (タッチスワイパー, Tatchi Suwaipā) - The panel in which the user touches to activate certain attacks. It incorporates a Touch Panel (タッチパネル, Tatchi Paneru) system, making it sensitive to the user's fingers. To activate an attack, the user must touch a mode icon (Yari, Tsue, or Kama) before clicking the 'Kamen' icon (the logo). After touching the Kamen icon, the user can swipe up and down across the entire Touch Sweeper to initiate a deathblow.
- DesTrigger (デストリガー, Desutorigā) - The trigger. Pressing it will release charged energy and allow destructive attacks.
- Grip Connector (グリップコネクター, Gurippu Konekutā) - The entire length of the handle. It receives Miridewatch and Rider information via Kamen Rider Woz's hands and adjusts each attack and deathblow accordingly.
- Convey Hilt (コンベイヒルト, Konbei Hiruto) - The green section at the bottom of the Zikan Despear. It controls the posture of the Zikan Despear to prevent errors in combat from weight issues. Also, it has the role of spreading attacks to the outside environment via physical contact.
Modes[]
The Zikan DeSpear has three modes: Yari Mode (ヤリモード, Yari Mōdo, lit. "Spear Mode"), Kama Mode (カマモード, Kama Mōdo, lit. "Sickle Mode"), and Tsue Mode (ツエモード, Tsue Mōdo, lit. "Cane Mode").[2]

Notes[]
- Despear could be a pun on the words "despair (デスペアー, Desupeā)" and "spear (スピアー, Supiā)." It may also come from the Japanese word for "Time's up (時間です, Jikan desu )."
- Interestingly, the tip of the weapon in Cane Mode resembles a question mark, fitting Mondo Douan’s Rider motif.
- The mode-change announcements are also puns that include the word "Over... (すぎ, Sugi)":
- Spear = Overdoing (やりすぎ, Yarisugi)
- Sickle = Overpushing (かましすぎ, Kamashisugi)
- Cane = Overwhelming (つえすぎ, Tsuesugi)
- The mode-change announcements are also puns that include the word "Over... (すぎ, Sugi)":
- To compliment Woz's smartwatch motif, the weapon's mode changing is mostly done by touching and sliding the app icons.
