To an extent, yes but it ultimately becomes part of a belt so I gotta say no to that. Necrom does seem like the last one to ditch a belt so far now that I think about it.

Necrom was the last Rider whose device wasn't linked to a belt of any kind. Before him, Sasword, The Bee, Drake, the Kabuto movie Trio, and all of the Hibiki Riders.

Also Diend?

Yeah, I think Para-DX Level 50 is the last one where the device doesn't, in some way, become a belt. Necrom is the last one where none of his forms use a belt at all, in all the possible colours.

(Unless you want to count Night Rogue, Brad Stark, and the Hell Bros, but that would be silly)

Gimmick-wise? Yes. In terms of potential character dynamics amongst riders it gives me shades of Kabuto and Gaim and Ryuki. And a bit of Build as well.

I actually thought the historical figures thing in Ghost was a terrible idea. It forces you to associate the powers with existing people/stories which to me is never a good thing, especially the the show fails to represent those people/stories accurately. It makes the show, however minor, that much less self-contained and limited.

Animals, elements, etc are far better for the simplicity of Kamen Rider powers, which lends itself to more freedom and creativity.

I guess G3/G3-X could also count as well, since he has to physically put the armor on and the belt doesn't necessarily "activate" his powers, though if I'm not mistaken, I think the belt acts more like a power source for the suit.

I think Kamen Rider Lupin also used his gun for transformation as well.

Do Blood Stalk/Rogue count as Kamen Riders?
