Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
In Dragon Knight, once the deck is inserted, the deck revolves in the buckle, giving the insignia a holographic look. A ring of light in the Rider's primary color then appears from the belt, then splits into two that revolves in opposite directions around the the Rider till the armor materializes.
The belts in Dragon Knight are also slightly different in that they are designed with "clamps" to "lock on" to the decks after the deck is inserted. There is a variation of the V-Buckle - designed by Hideyuki Kagawa - used by the Alternatives, based on what he understood from the first few pages of Shiro Kanzaki's notes on Mirror World. This belt was used as the Advent Master's Advent Belt in Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.
Infos:
- V-Buckle was also donned by the former member Yurika Hirokawa of Kamen Rider Girls, who represented Ryuki in the group.
- In Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight, the Advent Deck need not be put up against a reflective surface for the belt to appear. Instead, the deck just needs to be held out towards the front, creating lightning sparks which materialize the belt.

To become stronger and obtain more cards, the owner must use the Contract Card to form a contract with a Mirror Monster. Each deck has different weapons and abilities based the Rider's Contract Monster. All decks include an Advent/Attack Vent Card that summons the Contract Monster and a Final Vent in which the Rider and Contract Monster do a combination attack. Besides these cards, there are different categories of Advent Cards, e.g. Sword Vent, Strike Vent, Guard Vent, or Shoot Vent, that multiple Riders have their own versions of. Some Riders also have cards exclusive to them, like Freeze Vent, Spin Vent, and Nasty Vent.
When a user transforms into their Survive/Survive Mode form, their Deck changes color (i.e. Ryuki/Dragon Knight and Knight/Wing Knight's Decks turning from black to red and blue, respectively), increasing the Rider's power, giving them new Visors and allowing access to new cards. In Dragon Knight, Kit Taylor is shows to have cards used by his Survive Mode in his deck many episodes before his actual Survive Mode Card is introduced, implying that all Ventara Riders also have their Survive Mode decks with them, while their actual Survive Mode Cards are kept separate so they aren't tempted to use them when not absolutely necessary.
