This article is about a rider form used by several identities in Kamen Rider Gaim. |
Kamen Rider Fifteen (仮面ライダーフィフティーン, Kamen Raidā Fifutīn) may refer to any the following characters.
Arms[]
Like his fellow Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Fifteen's forms are called Arms (アームズ, Āmuzu). His Sengoku Driver plays American rock & roll music and emits a guitar riff sound before every transformation. But instead of normal fruit or nut Lockseeds, Fifteen uses the Heisei Rider Lockseed to channel the Legend Rider Lockseeds, allowing him to use the powers of the 15 Heisei Riders.
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Fifteen can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash (スカッシュ, Sukasshu), Au Lait (オーレ, Ōre), or Sparking (スパーキング, Supākingu).
The Ride Wear (ライド��ェア, Raido Uēa) is Fifteen's undersuit. This form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider. Uniquely, Fifteen's Ride Wear is not seen during his transformation into his default form and only appears when he changes arms.
The Ride Wear that Fifteen's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator (ライダーインジケーター, Raidā Injikētā) faceplate. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.

Fifteen Arms (フィフティーンアームズ, Fifutīn Āmuzu) is Fifteen's default form that is accessed through the Fifteen Lockseed.
While assuming Fifteen Arms, Fifteen dons the Fifteen Armor Part (フィフティーンアーマーパート, Fifutīn Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Yomimaru. Similar to how Legend Rider Armor Parts appear as the head of the represented Rider before transformation, the Fifteen Armor Part initally appears as a skull not unlike the original appearance of the Generalissimo of Badan.
Interestingly, when Fifteen transforms into this form, he bypasses the Ride Wear stage entirely as the armor and his suit form at once.
Appearances: ToQger Vs. Gaim, Kamen Rider Taisen, Kamen Rider Gaim: Special Show, Fierce Battle! Ganbarider!!
The Rider Arms (ライダーアームズ, Raidā Āmuzu) are forms based on past Kamen Riders. All of these forms are exclusive to Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai.
- "(Guitar riff) Wizard Arms! Shabadoobi showtime!"

Wizard Arms (ウィザードアームズ, Uizādo Āmuzu) is a Legend Rider Arms based on Kamen Rider Wizard's Flame Style that is accessed through the Heisei Rider Lockseed channeling the Wizard Lockseed.
While assuming Wizard Arms, Fifteen dons the Wizard Armor Part (ウィザードアーマーパート, Uizādo Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the WizarSwordGun.
- "(Guitar riff) Decade Arms! Hakaisha on the road!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Decade Arms (ディケイドアームズ, Dikeido Āmuzu) is a Legend Rider Arms based on Kamen Rider Decade's default form that is accessed through the Heisei Rider Lockseed channeling the Decade Lockseed.
While assuming Decade Arms, Fifteen dons the Decade Armor Part (ディケイドアーマーパート, Dikeido Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Ride Booker.
Similar to Decade himself, this form allows Fifteen to use the power of the first Nine Heisei Riders as seen when he activates his Sengoku Driver's (Hibiki) Squash function, manifesting an Ongekibou Rekka to counter the one used by Decade as Kamen Ride: Hibiki. Decade Arms' ability to use the power of the previous Heisei Riders without changing Arms is not unlike Decade's own Violent Emotion form or Gaim's Kiwami Arms.
Another ability of Decade Arms is allowing Fifteen to channel the power of Decade's Attack Ride cards, as seen when he activates a Decade Squash attack while fighting Kamen Riders Decade, Double, Fourze, and Wizard. Charged into the Ride Booker, he unleashed a series of slashes against his opponents amplified by self-replication (Attack Ride: Illusion) and multiple slash (Attack Ride: Slash) abilities.
This form is exclusive to Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai.
- "(Guitar riff) Fourze Arms! Seishun switch on!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Fourze Arms (フォーゼアームズ, Fōze Āmuzu) is a Legend Rider Arms based on Kamen Rider Fourze's Basestates that is accessed through the Heisei Rider Lockseed channeling the Fourze Lockseed.
While assuming Fourze Arms, Fifteen dons the Fourze Armor Part (フォーゼアーマーパート, Fōze Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is a rotation between the Barizun Sword (primary) and Billy the Rod (Fourze Au Lait) instead of the Rocket Module used by Kamen Rider Zangetsu in the previous movie.
This form is exclusive to Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai.
- "(Guitar riff) Gaim Arms! Fruits yoroi musha on parade!"
- ―Transformation announcement[src]
Gaim Arms (鎧武アームズ, Gaimu Āmuzu) is a Legend Rider Arms based on Kamen Rider Gaim's Orange Arms that is accessed through the Heisei Rider Lockseed channeling the Gaim Lockseed. This form is referred to by Fifteen as his "ultimate transformation", and it is powerful enough that it was able to defeat Gaim in Kachidoki Arms.
While assuming Gaim Arms, Fifteen dons the Gaim Armor Part (鎧武アーマーパート, Gaimu Āmā Pāto) and his Arms Weapon is the Daidaimaru. He can also use the Musou Saber as an alternative side weapon to his own Yomimaru.
This Arms' finisher has two variations depending on which function Fifteen activates with his Sengoku Driver.
- Au Lait: Channeled into the Daidaimaru, Fifteen unleashed a dark version of the Daidai Ittou (大橙一刀, Daidai Ittō, lit. "Great Orange Sword Strike") against Gaim Kachidoki Arms' Hinawa Daidai Musou Zan. This attack prevailed and successfully knocked Gaim out of his transformation.
- Sparking: Activated on his Sengoku Driver in response to Gaim 1go Arms' 1 Squash Rider Kick, Fifteen raised his Daidaimaru and Yomimaru to unsuccessfully block the attack, which defeated him and resulted in the destruction of his Sengoku Driver.

Notes[]
- The golden symbols on Kamen Rider Fifteen's head are actually the kanji characters 十五 (, Jūgo), which means Fifteen, the '15' motif being a reference to the showdown between the 15 main Heisei Riders and 15 Showa Riders.
- He's a death-themed Rider, and when 15 is dislocated, it forms in Roman numerals "IV", the number 4. In Japanese, 4 and "death" are pronounced the same (Shi). (There is a famous superstitional belief around the number 4 in Japan).
- Fifteen's Arms Weapons are meant to be sword-based, hence why he uses the Billy the Rod and Barizun Sword in Fourze Arms instead of the Rocket Module.
