Kamen Rider Gaim's transformation belt is called Sengoku Driver which by inserting the fruit-themed padlocks called  Lock Seed, create other forms or "Arms Change".  Gaim uses the "Orange Lock Seed" and the "Pineapple Lock Seed" to summon "Orange Arms" and "Pineapple Arms" respectively. His catchphrase is “Passing through the audience, On Stage!”. Weapons are determined according to the Lock Seed he uses.  Gaim will have rival riders and are segmented into teams:
