Got it...Energy is the power up...then we have one more to the near ultimate, and probably one more final level for the last episodes..

Huh, so Gaim armors up like a Samurai with his upgrades huh? I expected this to be a simple, hey let's slap an energy armor on Gaim not a unique armor, which I like.

I wonder which Energy locks the other riders are going to use for thier upgrades.

Also, I hate that stupid Bujin gaim-eske mouth.

I love the show too you guys but the way yo defend against every little critique is just blind fanboyism. I dig the design, but I totally agree that it is kinda lame that it dropped the heavy fruit motif rather than keeping the balance of the other arms. Yes there are fruity accents here and there but it looks more liie straight samurai garb with a repainted orange arms helmet.

See, the thing is that if you think about it, a form like this actually fits well.

It's not supposed to be another fruit-themed armor, it's a mixture of the lemon energy seed and orange lockseed using the Genesis Driver add-on. So technically it's not a type of fruit, it's a mixed drink. I think that form represents that pretty good. It keeps Gaim's over-all look with the helmet while mixing in some silver and lemon yellow on top of a more shogun-like armor design. It's half armored rider, half energy rider.

Which make perfect sense to me.

This thing isn't orange energy arms or something like that, it's a brand new mixture of two types of forms. Admittedly it would have been awesome to see some mangled mutant half orange/lemon monstrosity drop on his head and split. But this looks really damn awesome.

First of all, it HAS LEMON SLICES ALL OVER IT. And you don't even know what it looks like when it transforms. It could be that this is what it looks like when whatever folds out. So it's the inside. Second of all, "blind fanboyism"? Seriously? It's a show. For kids. Sorry that we aren't ELITE AND DISCERNING TASTES enough for you. Third...

See this.

I allow the cool factor to override OMG IT NOT FROOT OMG IT SUXXXX, because it's a show about people with magical (technological?) belts that are powered by fruit from another dimension.

What it looks like? Yeah, let me just nitpick that to death. If you pluck and pluck at every little thing, how can you possibly enjoy it?

It's for kids. Therefore, stop thinking and just enjoy it, ffs.

Honestly I just think it's a damn awesome looking combo. It takes Gaim's standard form and it's samurai motif and increases that attribute 10 fold. This is the most logical link possible between Orange Arms and Kachidoki, which will be like full on Shogun Warrior style armor. This form is perfect.

I cannot see much hate for this suit at all. I mean yeah I would of been newt to see a different visor but I'm not complaining. The Lemon accents look nice and I I just want to see this for now, but also curious as to how, Kouta gets this newer Sengoku Driver that allows the use of two lock seeds.

I do believe it's a new faceplate that allows an additional connection.

Now I'm wondering if his final mode will use an entirely new driver or stick with the Sengoku.

All it is that he gets is the bit of the Genesis Driver which accepts Energy Locks. DJ Sagura gives him the Lemon ELS and the Genesis Core to use with his driver. The Core replaces a rider faceplate and allows a standard armored rider to interact and combine their powers with an Energy Arms.

We know that Kachidoki arms (his supposed final form) will have a new Lock which is much larger (wider) than standard locks. We'll see how that plays out with this new gimmick. Not sure How it could incorporate the Energy locks.
