What weapons would you of given the Energy Riders from Kamen Rider Gaim?
There has bee a few complaints about the fact that the Energy Riders all use the same weapon (Sonic Arrow). My question to everyone is what weapons would you of given them?
I can only think of two for now: Kamen Rider Sigured- Axe. Fits with his Viking motif Kamen Rider Marika - Scimitar. Same as with Sigurd, it fits with her motif. |
Sigurd was a sneaky shit, so maybe like a sonic rifle so he could pick people off from afar or a set of wires he could use as deadly traps.
Duke should have gotten a giant ass field cutting sword which covers his whole back and is as long as his body. In contrast Shin Zangetsu should have gotten an elegant katana. |
I agree with lock on Shin Zangetsu. Him with a very well made and elaborate/fancy katana would have been a great sight for the eyes. Though since his original form utilized two weapons, why not repeat that idea and give him twin kodachi blades? With Duke being called exactly that, I think he should have gotten a mace or an axe, maybe even a halberd. Marika is fine with the bow and arrow, Sigurd could have either a gun (like Locke suggested) or a crossbow for some variety.

Duke - Halberd
Zangetsu Shin - Zanbato Sigurd - Battle axe Marika - Pata sword |

Also it woulda been cool if Sigurd got little wrist mounted crossbows with trick arrows of his own design. |
Because I was bored, I slapped together a little something in MS paint to show the basic idea.
Sigurd is a Viking so a big old Viking axe, of course. http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/.../CherryAxe.png Marika is an Arabian themed warrior so a pair of curved swords is in order. I think Shotels are the best choice because you can give them a peach shape. http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/...achShotels.png An European king was the bases of Duke's design and I see a bit of King Arthur in there. Thus he should have an Excalibur knock-off. Not the real thing because he's a villain and because his weapon needs to be a lemon....get it? :D http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/...monCalibur.png I'd probably leave Shin Zangetsu with the Sonic Arrow if someone had to have it. Otherwise, just a variant on the Melon Defender. It was the perfect weapon for a melon anyways. |

I was talking to Paladin and he mentioned a flail would be good for Sigurd. I got to playing with some parts and came up with the weapon below (It's just slapped together). Change the mace heads to red and the chain to green and I see an awesome cherry/Viking weapon there.

I would have let one of them keep the sonic arrow. Probably Zangetsu, since Bows were a more important part of a samurai's arsenal than swords.
I agree with Sigurd having the twin-balled flail and Marika having a scimtar or two. Those choices fit well with both the themes of the suits and the characters. I disagree with Locke on Duke having a huge sword though. A giant Final Fantasy style sword does not suit the Duke armour or Ryouma's character at all. Ryouma strikes me as the kinda guy who would fight smart and go for quick surgical strikes and competent defence over brute strength and smashing everything. I actually think a longsword and shield combo, like KR Mars, would suit Duke's knight theme and Ryouma's character best. And Duke is the one set of powers that really has to fit it's user to make any logical sense, since Ryouma directly designed the suit for himself. |
The Sonic Arrows have a purpose. If you look at the Energy Riders, and their lop-sided suits, and then look at Archers from the Sengouku period, they look alot alike. If you ignore the fruit motif, obviously.

Guy. The reason of why Energy Riders don't their own weapon beside Sonic Arrow because It would cost too much for Bandai comp as my who made the weapon toynetic.

That said, it doesn't make it any less lame that 6 unique characters have the same weapon regardless of the reasons. These characters are awesome and they deserve equally awesome weapons. Quote:

They should keep the Sonic Arrows but also have unique weapons.
I agree that Marika should get those Arabian Swords and Sigurd should get and Axe. Duke should get a flail. And Shin Zanegtsu should just get an upgraded Musou Saber or somthing that looks more like a Katana. Also, is it just me, or is it not the perfect idea to have the back piece from the fruit transformation be where the energy Riders put thier arrows when not in use? Seriously, think about it, that's a hell of a lot more practical then them holding it all the time. |

Duke Lemon Energy: Excalibur-esque sword
Duke Dragon Energy: claws Marika/Malika: Fan Sigurd: Mace Zangetsu Shin: Modified Melon Defender |

So I propose a scepter fitting of his "station" as a ruler... that extends into a halberd. Or possibly forms an energy blade somewhere from the top or bottom. |
I digged Dukes upgraded Sonic Arrow in the one episode of Gaim, I can that being his permanent weapon an upgrade sonic arrow.
|
I would Sigurd a battle Axe because he's supposed a viking, Duke could keep the sonic arrow except it should be modeled after a lemon, markia tomfa blades just because tomfa blades are cool, Zangetsu shin should get melon energy broadsword or a upgraded musou saber.
|
Cherry Doublemace and Cantaloupe Defender?
|
I don't much know about the other Energy Riders names. But Sigurd is a Norse related name. His motif is Norse related as well with the fur wrappings on his arms and legs. So I think his weapon should be Norse as well. A mace is okay, but I was thinking more along the lines of an axe, hammer, or spear. (I dated a couple of guys that were Norse Religious practitioners, soiI've got some of their ideals stuck in my head. -_-')

I feel Baron would have a different weapon though, maybe something like the apple arms' sword/shield combo, seeing as how Baron is a lower ranked title than Duke. Quote:
Totally agree with the suggested ideas of a cherry-based double-flail/mace thing for Sigurd, and a Pata gauntlet sword for Marika. Zangetsu Shin I'm not so sure about actually, I honestly think the Sonic Arrow fits pretty well there, and I'm not really sure where they could have gone with an 'upgraded' sword or shield |
Melon gets a sword, Peach gets an energy bursting war fan, Cherry gets an axe, and Lemon gets a sledgehammer that's two lemons chopped in half touching end to end.

I wouldn't go far as to give him Mjolnir. Maybe Gugnir (Odin's spear). If you wanna give a character a power weapon, give'em the boss's weapon. :lol

Thor's hammer is named Mjolnir.
