Like his fellow Lockseed-using Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Gaim's forms are called Arms. His Sengoku Driver plays Japanese horagai music and announces Soiyabefore every transformation, except when he transforms into Kiwami Arms, while his personal Lockseeds are styled with a mix of Japanese words and English words. With the exception of Suika Arms, all of Gaim's Japanese Samurai, Ninja and Shogun-themed Arms' helmets share the title Kabuto, while his visors are called Pulp Eye.
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Gaim can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking. In addition to the Sengoku Driver's finishing moves, Gaim can perform either a Fruits Charge or Sonic Volley finishing attack by inserting a Lockseed into the attachment slot of either his Musou Saber, Sonic Arrow, or DJ Gun.
Gaim Ride Wear
The Ride Wear is Gaim's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Gaim's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, 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. In the case of Gaim, it has been shown that certain Arms which are particularly unique and powerful can make minor modifications to the Ride Wear as part of the Arms Change.
Gaim Origin Ride Wear
- When Gaim assumes Fresh Orange Arms, the gold parts on his Ride Wear become orange.
- When Gaim assumes a Jimber Arms, his Ride Wear becomes the Jimber Ride Wear, which is almost exactly identical to his regular Ride Wear with the exception of Gaim's helmet crest turning silver and mouth-plate turning black.
- When Gaim assumes Kachidoki Arms, his Ride Wear becomes the Kachidoki Ride Wear.
- When Gaim assumes Kiwami Arms, his Kachidoki Ride Wear becomes purged to reveal a silver-colored undersuit known as the Kiwami Ride Wear. In this form, the Musou Saber and its holster are replaced with a second Lockseed Holder that carries Gaim's three Energy Lockseeds.
- When Gaim assumes Drive Arms, his Ride Wear receives a minor modification in the form of his head crest being altered to look like the letter "R", which is part of Drive's symbol. The Legend Rider Arms based on Kamen Rider Drive's Type Speed. Accessed through the Drive Lockseed, this form's Arms Weapons are the Handle-Ken and the Door-Ju.
Gaim is distinct among the Armored Riders in that he is equipped with a Lockseed Holder on the right side of his Sengoku Driver, which is used to carry his first three Lockseeds. He is also one of only a select few Armored Riders who are defaultly equipped with a Musou Saber side weapon, which is held on the left side of his Sengoku Driver with a holster.
The Ride Wear that Gaim's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator 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. The Ride Wear of Gaim consists of the following parts:
- Front Blade : Is the part which corresponds to the helmet's placket. It is a type of armor added to protect the eyebrows which is the main point of the human body.
- Byakugou Signal : Is a special ore like quartz, installed inside the center of the Front Blade. It has the property of responding to electromagnetic waves, magnetic force, various kinds of radio waves, etc. and fulfills the role of sensor.
