 This article is about a weapon in Kamen Rider Kuuga.
|
To make up for the lack of strength, Kamen Rider Kuuga Dragon Form uses the Dragon Rod (ドラゴンロッド, Doragon Roddo) staff as his weapon, which is created whenever Kuuga is using any pole or stick-like object to manifest it. His finishing move with the Dragon Rod is known as the Splash Dragon.
Rising Dragon Rod[]
After Dragon Form is upgraded by the golden power into Rising Dragon (ライジングドラゴン, Raijingu Doragon), Kuuga gains a golden trim with his weapon being enhanced into the Rising Dragon Rod (ライジングドラゴンロッド, Raijingu Doragon Roddo) voulge, giving it the appearance of a twin-ended spear, improving the Dragon Splash finishing move into the Rising Splash Dragon.
Kuuga Ultimate Form can summon the Rising Dragon Rod for Ultimate (アルティメット用ライジングドラゴンロッド, Arutimetto-yō Raijingu Doragon Roddo). The blue accents on the weapon turn black in color. This weapon was exclusively featured in Souchaku Henshin Series.
