The Touch 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 Frsme Circuit to wrap around important crcuitry 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, touch a mode icon (Yari, Tsue or Kama) before clicking the 'Kamen' icon (the logo). After touching the Kamen icon, 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. "Scythe Mode"), and Tsue Mode (ツエモード, Tsue Mōdo, lit. "Cane Mode").[2]
Special Attacks
To perform a special attack, Woz must press the "Kamen" button on the Despear and swipe his finger across the Touch Sweeper panel once.
Finishers
To perform a finisher, Woz must press the "Kamen" button on the Despear and swipe his finger on the button's scanner up and down multiple times.
- Bakuretsu DeLance (爆裂デランス, Bakuretsu Deransu): Woz press the "Kamen" button on the Despear and swipe his finger on the button's scanner up and down multiple times and performs a powerful thrust.
- Kikai: Woz rushes towards the enemy before impaling them with yellow energy-coated Zikan Despear.
- Shinobi: Woz delivers a green and purple energy slash to the enemy.
- Quiz: Woz summons giant energy question marks to restraint the enemy before detonating them.
Woz can combine the Zikan Despear's finisher with the BeyonDriver to perform a powerful finisher.
- Ninja Art: Time Binding Attack/Ichigeki Kaman (忍法:時間縛りの術/一撃カマン, Ninpou: Jikan Shibari no Jutsu/Ichigeki Kaman): Woz zaps the enemy and lifts it up before creating clones and slashing the enemy rapidly.
- Full Metal Break/Bakuretsu DeLance (フルメタルブレイク/爆裂デランス, Furumetarubureiku/Bakuretsu Deransu): Woz captures the enemy using two wrench like armaments before impaling them with yellow energy-coated Zikan Despear.
Notes
- Despear could be a pun on the words "despair" and "spear". It may also come from the Japanese word for "Time's up(時間です Jikandesu)".
- The mode-change announcements are also puns that ends with "Sugi(すぎ)":
- Spear - Overdoing(やりすぎ Yarisugi)
- The mode-change announcements are also puns that ends with "Sugi(すぎ)":
- To compliment Woz's smartwatch motif, the weapon's mode changing is mostly done by touching the app icons.
- The weapon's sliding panel as a means to execute a finishing move is comparable to the Xlugger from Ultraman X as well as the Orb Slasher from Ultraman Orb.
- Like the Xlugger, the user can swipe his/her finger on the panel either upward and/or downward.
