This time of the month always brings a plethora of magazine scans as well as new information about all your favorite tokus. By far the communities’ most favored right now is Kamen Rider Gaim. And Toei is certainly showing Gaim plenty of love revealing things like Kachidoki, Fresh Orange, & Rider 1 Arms.
Well it looks like based on an image teased today we’ll be seeing an upgrade for everybody’s favorite banana themed rider, Kamen Rider Baron, in the near future too! What we have teased here is Baron in silhouette using what appears to be Kamen Rider Dukes’ Lemon Energy Arms! Based on this image could Baron possibly be receiving his own Genesis Driver? Or a Genesis Core like Gaim? Will it be a full on Energy Form or a Jinba style arms like Gaim? Time will tell!
Speaking of Gaim, Jinba Arms allows him access to any of the four Energy Rider powers based on which of their locks he’s currently using. Lemon is his first and recent images revealed Peach & Cherry. This teaser image also shows one of them, most likely Jinba Melon, which has yet to be seen. We’ll keep you posted as more info becomes available.
You may recall a few months back, that a special Fresh Orange Lock Seed was offered as a magazine pack in bonus. As it turns out, this Fresh Orange lock will indeed allow Kamen Rider Gaim to use a new Fresh Orange Arms!
This arms is set to debut in the Kamen Rider Gaim Hyper Battle Video scheduled for release this spring. Much like previous Hyper Battle exclusive forms it most likely will not appear in the main show proper. Prime examples of this trend being Gattack Hyper, Fourze RocketDrill States, Wizard Falco Mantle, or OOO TakaToraGaru.
This image also teases the other arms changes from the special:
Ryugen: Pine Arms, Banana Arms, Melons Arms
Zangetsu: Mango Arms, Ichigo Arms, Budou Arms

Lock on!
It seems that every single week you think this show is done being awesome and will have a normal, filler-like episode that we’ve all grown accustomed to. However, Kamen Rider Gaim continues to deliver breath-taking episodes that blow our minds and raise the stakes every single time. And Episode 15, “The Man Who Developed the Belts”, is no different than any of the previous episodes – except that it’s full of awesome, even more so than the previous episode!
There’s not really anything we can say that will not spoil the episode. Setting an all new record for “that was the fastest sub in history”, Aesir Subs already has the episode ready for you to check out. Do so, and then join our episode discussion and vote on what you thought of the episode! Beware of spoilers in the thread, so avoid it if you haven’t seen it or don’t want to be spoiled yet.
Once you have seen the episode though, join in the discussion of what this episode revealed, and what do you think is in store for our heroes. And of course, that amazing preview for Episode 16 that will surely be the next significant story point in this already excellent season of Kamen Rider. To the stage!
How can a television show get any better than this? In one of the most revealing, shocking, and tear-jerking episodes in recent memory, Kamen Rider Gaim has once again out-done itself with an episode that, as even the writer Gen Urobuchi has stated, “changes everything”. Check your favorite subtitle groups as the episode is out in full force!
We can’t really talk about the episode on the front page without spoiling the entire thing. Just know that the image attached – Micchy hugging/clinging the wall, falling down in pure shock and disbelief – is the same reaction that just about everyone watching the show had in that very moment. Come and join the episode discussion and give your vote to it by clicking here.
