This article is about a weapon in Kamen Rider Zi-O. |
|
The Character Conversion Gun-Sword Zikan Girade (字換銃剣ジカンギレード[1], Jikan Jū Ken Jikan Girēdo) is the personal weapon of Kamen Rider Zi-O.
Design
The Zikan Girade consists of the following parts:
- Girade Ryūzu (ギレードリューズ, Girēdo Ryūzu, lit. Girade Crown) - The special attack mechanism. By pressing the Girade Ryūzu, the Time Charge will start, allowing Zi-O to execute basic finishing attacks. However, if a Ridewatch is installed in the Ridewatch Slot, a special finisher is initiated, harnessing the powers of the Ridewatch currently in the Ridewatch Slot.
- Impact Sign (インパクトサイン, Inpakuto Sain) - The katakana of the Jikan Girade, it reads out either Sword (ケン, Ken) or Gun (ジュウ, Jū) in Katakana depending on the mode. Internal mechanisms shift when the Impact Sign changes.
- Pass Band Liner (パスバンドライナー, Pasu Bando Rainā) - A switch mechanism that boosts power by removing the limiter.
- Break Trigger (ブレークトリガー, Burēku Torigā) - The handle of the Zikan Girade.
- Ridewatch Slot (ライドウォッチスロット, Raidowotchi Surotto) - The input module for Ridewatches. By inserting a Ridewatch into it, the weapon can power up for finishers.
- Grip Connector (グリップコネクター, Gurippu Konekutā) - An interface link system that connects with the Rider suit through the grip of the handle. This allows the Zikan Girade to receive battle data to optimize its systems for the user. In situations where a Riderwatch is inserted, the Grip inputs data of the Ridewatch directly into the user's suit, allowing them to understand how to use it in battle.
Ken Mode only
- Girade Edge (ギレードエッジ, Girēdo Eiji) - The blade portion of the weapon. By using the central component oscillator that powers the blade, the weapon becomes a high energy and frequency tool that can cut through almost any substance. By inserting a Ridewatch and executing a Time Break, the weapon goes into an overload state and its frequency becomes high enough to penetrate past the vibrational frequency of Another Rider and destroy its Ridewatch.
Zyu Mode only
- Girade Muzzle (ギレードマズル, Girēdo Mazuru) - The muzzle of the Zikan Girade. The Zyu Mode fires high-speed energy bullets generated by an injector. When a Time Charge from a Ridewatch is performed, the system goes into its overload state and matches the energy vibration of the enemy to pierce them and its destructive power increases greatly and improves.
Modes
The Zikan Girade has two modes; Ken Mode (ケンモード, Ken Mōdo, lit. "Sword Mode") and Zyu Mode (ジュウモード, Jū Mōdo, lit. "Gun Mode")[2].
Special Attacks
To activate a special attack, Zi-O must press the Girade Ryūzu on the Zikan Girade.
- Ken Mode
- Giri Giri Giri (ギリギリ斬り )
- Zyu Mode
- Zure Zure Uchi (ズレズレ撃ち )
Finisher
To activate a finisher, Zi-O must plug a Ridewatch in the Ridewatch Slot of the Zikan Girade.
- Ken Mode
- Giri Giri Slash (ギリギリスラッシュ, Giri Giri Surasshu): Zi-O uses the power of a Ridewatch in the Zikan Girade in Ken Mode, and performs a powerful slash.
- Zi-O: Zi-O coats the Zikan Girade in magenta energy before slashing the enemy. The slash then projects two silver energy clocks upon impact.
- Giri Giri Slash (ギリギリスラッシュ, Giri Giri Surasshu): Zi-O uses the power of a Ridewatch in the Zikan Girade in Ken Mode, and performs a powerful slash.
- Zyu Mode
- Zure Zure Shooting (ズレズレシューティング, Zure Zure Shūtingu): Zi-O uses the power of a Ridewatch in the Zikan Girade in Zyu Mode, and performs a powerful blast.
- Fourze: Zi-O shoots a rocket projection at the enemy.
- Zure Zure Shooting (ズレズレシューティング, Zure Zure Shūtingu): Zi-O uses the power of a Ridewatch in the Zikan Girade in Zyu Mode, and performs a powerful blast.
Notes
- The "Zikan" part could mean either Time (時間, Jikan) or its Character Conversion (字換, Jikan), representing Zi-O's "watch" and "Katakana" motifs.
- The Girade part comes from combination of the words To cut (切れ, Kire) and Blade (ブレード, Burēdo), representing its sword motif. The whole word comes from the Japanese word for "Time out (時間切れ, Jikan-gire)".
- Its design and function appears to be a mix of WizarSwordGun from Kamen Rider Wizard and Musou Saber from Kamen Rider Gaim, in that the two modes are accessible with little to no effort, and requires the transformation trinkets to activate a finisher.
- Notably, the design aesthetics leans towards the WizarSwordGun, while the finisher activations lean more to the Musou Saber, and partially the DJ Gun, due to similar aspects with the Musou Saber.
- While the weapon is similar to the Musou Saber's design in terms of how the modes are represented, it also appears as a slight inversion of the DJ Gun, where the bladed portion is exposed when in gun mode, but requires no additional components to activate Sword Mode, as opposed to both elements of the DJ Gun only present when combined with the Musou Saber.
- Notably, the design aesthetics leans towards the WizarSwordGun, while the finisher activations lean more to the Musou Saber, and partially the DJ Gun, due to similar aspects with the Musou Saber.
- Uniquely, there is a Form-exclusive weapon that further emphasizes the sword mode's blade by attaching it to the edge.
- The concept of two weapons being layered to form a larger weapon has been seen more commonly in Super Sentai.
