Rider Gashat

Rider Gashat are devices similar to video game cartridges used by the Riders in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. The Gashats were based off of the data from the 10 Genm Corp. games that spawned the Bugster virus and it is hinted that prototype Gashats had something to do with it.

Kuroto Dan says that the company had fixed the first 4 games is not counted due to still being stuck in development and are about to fix 4 more of the other games. As such, there is only one of each Gashats, Poppy Pipopapo stating that Rider Gashats are a super rare series of game cartridges, as regular game cartridges are incompatible with the Gamer Driver, though there can be multiple Rider Gashats that can be created such as Proto Mighty Action X, Bakusou Bike and Kamen Rider Chronicle. Certain Gashats have their own unique design traits that are differ that standard-designed Gashats. Such as exclusive patterns on the RG Circuit Board, Double-Slotted, Gashat Gear Duals and custom-designed Gashats.

Functionality

Rider Gashats are the trinkets used by people who own and are compatible with a Gamer Driver to access the Rider forms to fight the Bugsters. Using a second Gashat in the Driver will allow a Rider to take Level 3 or Level 5. Gashats can be used in the Driver's Kimewaza Slot Holder to trigger a Critical Strike finisher, or in a Gashacon Weapon to trigger a Critical Finish finisher. Activating a Gashat will summon a Game Area with Energy Item containers based on the Gashat's game in a wave of digitization. This and the Gamer Driver's Stage Select option, which can literally teleport game participants, even those not currently present, are likely what Ayumu was sensing when he identified Rider Gashats as devices "with the power to change the world". Graphite has also found a way to combine Rider Gashats with a Bugster, forming a Collabos Bugster. How this happens is still unknown.

Proto Gashats

Proto Gashats are able to transform a person into a Kamen Rider or into a Bugster. They are also able to enhance a Bugster's powers even further if the Gashat is compatible with the Bugster form. Graphite demonstrates this ability by activating the Proto Drago Knight Hunter Z Gashat and stabbing it into his body, transforming him into Dark Graphite. While possessing unlimited power, the Proto Gashats are said to be dangerous to use, as they can have harmful side effects to a person after prolonged exposure.

Even worse, when a person uses a Proto Gashat without going through the compatible surgery, they will spew blood from their mouth and collapse to the ground while being unconscious due to its unstable power. However, unlike humans, when Bugsters use Proto Gashats, they don't seem to cause side effects to their bodies. This is shown when Kiriya, revived as Lazer Turbo, used Proto Shakariki Sports and Proto Jet Combat, or when Kuroto, revived as a Bugster and used the origin version of Proto Mighty Action X for multiple times in the series, yet no side effects were caused.
