Kamen Rider Faiz (original) (raw)
This article is about a Rider form used by several people in Kamen Rider 555.
Kamen Rider Faiz
Kamen Rider Faiz (仮面ライダーファイズ, Kamen Raidā Faizu, "Masked Rider Faiz") or SB-555 Faiz (SB standing for Smart Brain) is the main protagonist of Kamen Rider 555. Its gear is the first of the Rider Gears seen in the series. Its motif is the Greek letter phi (Φ).
Kamen Rider Faiz may refer to any the following characters. The Faiz Gear mostly cannot be used by anyone that is not an Orphnoch.

Faiz Gear[]
The Faiz Gear (ファイズギア, Faizu Gia) was the second set of Kamen Rider Gear developed by the Smart Brain Corporation to protect the Orphnoch King. The Faiz Gear had less power than the original Delta Gear, but had a much greater functionality. Like most of the Rider Gears that Smart Brain developed, the Faiz Gear can only be worn by Orphnochs or humans implanted with Orphnoch DNA.
Transforming into Kamen Rider Faiz burns Orphnoch DNA, so humans who have been implanted with this DNA will quickly run out and no longer be able to use the Faiz Gear. Humans with insufficient DNA are rejected by the Faiz Gear with the word 'error'. Orphnochs may use the Faiz Gear more often (in their human form only), but their DNA breaks down with continued use.
Users[]
Original Series[]
- Takumi Inui (Wolf Orphnoch)
- Yuji Kiba (Horse Orphnoch)
- Akai (Cactus Orphnoch)
- Naoya Kaido (Snake Orphnoch)
- Itsuro Takuma (Centipede Orphnoch)
- Masato Kusaka (Kamen Rider Kaixa)
In the original Kamen Rider 555 series, its first known, and primary wearer is Takumi Inui.
The Faiz Gear was stolen and utilized (all on different occasions) by Akai, Naoya Kaido, and Takuma Itsurou. Masato Kusaka used the gear once to trick Kiba and Takumi into thinking they betrayed each other.
During the short time Takumi was going through a crisis, Kiba temporarily used the Gear until he returned. By the end of the series, the Gear was still intact.
Kamen Rider Decade[]
In an alternate version of reality where Kamen Rider 555 takes place that appeared in Kamen Rider Decade, the Faiz Gear is only shown to be used by Takumi Ogami himself.
D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4[]
In an alternate timeline created by Shocker, the Great Leader of Shocker gains a physical appearance similar to Takumi Inui and transforms into Faiz via the Legend Faiz Signal Bike.

Special Attacks
Once transformation is completed, the Faiz Armor has several key features in its design to offer protection to the user. Like all Rider gears, the Faiz armor manifests when the Faiz Driver generates Photon Blood, a glowing substance generates the soft Sol Foam suit, Sol Metal armor, and Fullmetal Lung chest armor via traveling through the red Photon Streams that ends at the Photon Terminals at the gauntlet and Power Anklet greaves, the right Anklet having a Energy Holster that the Faiz Pointer can be connected to. The helmet is unique due to its Global Feeler antenna to link up to Smart Brain's networks and Ultimate Finder visor that gives Faiz incredible vision to see in darkness, giving the illusion of a glowing eye, and a limited amount of x-ray vision.
Kamen Rider Faiz's finishing attack is called the Crimson Smash (クリムゾンスマッシュ, Kurimuzon Sumasshu), in which the Faiz Pointer (when mounted on the right leg) generates a crimson energy drill that Faiz uses to kick through an enemy.
Kamen Rider Faiz is composed of the following parts:
- Black Shell Met (ブラックシェルメット, Burakku Sheru Metto): The head. It is a reinforced helmet developed by Smart Brain, and has a thin shell layer made out of Sol Metal (ソルメタル, Soru Metaru), a supermetal with hardness close to a diamond. An impact absorption bag is installed inside.
- Global Feelers (グローバルフィーラー, Gurōbaru Fīrā): The antennae. They commuicate with the artificial satellites Eagle Sat (イーグルサット, Īguru Satto) and Hawk Eye (ホークアイ, Hōku Ai) that support Kamen Rider Faiz's systems. They can collect information as well as download new programs.
- Extreme Nose (エクストリームノーズ, Ekusutorīmu Nōzu): An olfactory organ that artificially creates a sense of smell one million times more potent that humans'. While its sensitivity can be freely adjusted, it typically has the same olfactory powers as a dog.
- Satellite Signal (サテライトシグナル, Sateraito Shigunaru): The green signal on the face. It blinks mainly when communicating with satellites and when tracking an enemy. A green gauge means stable supply, a blinking green light indicates access, a blinking red light indicates access error, and a red light is flashed when communication is not possible.
- Ultimate Finder (アルティメットファインダー, Arutimetto Faindā): The visor. It has an ultra-sensitive camera that converts images into electrical signals and conveys them to he wearer. It also has a scope function that allows daylight vision even in the darkness, and an X-ray camera function that allows seeing through objects.
- Photon Terminal (フォトンターミナル, Foton Tāminaru): The strip running vertically down the middle of the face. It is a junction ballast that connects photon streams. The Photon Blood flowing within the three terminals emits too much energy, so this equipment applies resistance so that the suit itself does not self-destruct, and it supplies power to the whole body in a stable manner. There is another Photon Terminal located on the back.
- Pin Falls Sonar (ピンフォールズソナー, Pin Fōruzu Sonā): Extremely sensitive audio devices that can hear a needle fall from 5km away. The sensitivity can be freely changed according to the wearer's will.
- Extreme Regulator (エクストリームレギュレーター, Ekusutorīmu Regyurētā): The mouthpiece. It is an oxygen supply device for the wearer. It enables activities in harsh environment where there is extremely little oxygen such as water or toxic gases.
- Neck Shield (ネックシールド, Nekku Shīrudo): The neck. it is made out of Sol Metal 315 (ソルメタル315, Soru Metaru 315), a special type of Sol Metal that combines hardness and softness. There are countless capillary cables running inside it that protects the neck from external shocks. The cables also serve to transmit information between the suit and the Black Shell Met.
- Full Metal Lung (フルメタルラング, Furu Metaru Rangu): The chest armor. It has a structure in which two shock absorbing bags are sandwiched between four layers of Sol Metal, allowing the heavy armor to repel tank fire. An oxygen tank is built in.
- Sol Foam (ソルフォーム, Soru Fōmu): The reinforced bodysuit. It is knitted with ultrafine metal threads of Sol Metal 315 that combines hardness and softness. Additionally, the surface is coated with silver coating.
- Spin Pad (スピンパッド, Supin Paddo): Protective pads located on the back. They protect the spine and the Photon Stream from any impacts from behind. If need be, it becomes an airbag.
- Spin Connector (スピンコネクタ, Supin Konekuta): The back of the Faiz Driver connects to the wearer's spine via an myriad of capillary cables. There is no pain during connection due to the usage of ultrafine needles.
- Photon Stream (フォトンストリーム, Foton Sutorīmu): The red lines running all over the body. It is an energy flow path that contains the fluid energy Photon Blood (フォトンブラッド, Foton Buraddo), which is red for Faiz. Every suit developed by Smart Brain has Photon Blood, each one with a different color.
- Power Fingers (パワーフィンガー, Pawā Fingā): The fingers. They have enough strength to break a 30cm steel plate yet are delicate enough to operate the Faiz Phone.
- Metal Intercooler (メタルインタークーラー, Metaru Intākūrā): Grey metal plates installed at the back of the head, shoulders and back sections. They are heat dissipation units that release excess heat emitted by the Photon Blood. As most of the electronics are located in the helmet, a large Metal Intercooler is placed at the back of it.
- Knee Folders (ニーフォルダー, Nī Forudā): The knees. They are made out of Sol Metal 228 (ソルメタル228, Soru Metaru 228), which is even harder than regular Sol Metal. It consists of two metal boards and one shock absorber. Due to its hardness, they can be used as striking weapons.
- Flex Bellows (フレックスベロウズ, Furekkusu Berouzu): The lower legs. They are bellows (air bag devices) for shock absorption.
- Energy Holster (エナジーホルスター, Enajī Horusutā): A holster on the lower right leg. It is an energy amplification terminal that is used to mount the Faiz Pointer whenever Faiz wishes to execute the Crimson Smash Rider Kick attack.
- Power Anklets (パワーアンクレット, Pawā Ankuretto): The ankle armor. They are control terminals that concentrates power onto the legs when kicking. In addition, the Flex Bellows that surrounds the calf absorbs the intense impact when kicking.

Special Attacks
Axel Form (アクセルフォーム, Akuseru Fōmu) is a temporary transformation that allows Faiz to move at the speed of sound for roughly 10 seconds. His physical attacks are also boosted, and he is able to perform multiple Exceed Charges in quick succession.
Faiz transforms into Axel Form from his default form by wearing the Faiz Axel and swapping its Axel Mission Memory with the Faiz Driver's Faiz Mission Memory. When this is performed, the Full Metal Lung chest plates will open to reveal the Faiz Core in the center of Faiz's chest. The Photon Streams then turn silver and the Ultimate Finder turns red.
After 10 seconds, Faiz reverts to his default form the Mission Memories are returned to their original locations. The transformation presumably fatigues Faiz, as he has never been shown performing twice in a single fight. This form is used mainly by Takumi, the suit's primary user, though Yuji used it once when temporarily he took over as Faiz.

Special Attacks
By inserting the Faiz Phone into the Faiz Blaster briefcase and entering the transformation code again, Faiz can access Blaster Form (ブラスタフォーム, Burastā Fōmu), the most powerful form of the Faiz Gear. The amount of Photon Blood that the Faiz Gear produces increases to the extreme where it overflows from the Photon Streams and spreads itself over the Sol Foam and the Sol Metal, changing their color to red. Faiz also receives a new, more powerful, set of Full Metal Lung with a backpack like device attached to it called Photon Field Floater (フォトンフィールドフローター, Foton Fīrudo Furōtā) that releases constant waves of Photon energy to give Faiz Blaster flying capacities. By focusing the release pattern however, the thrusters of the Photon Field Floater can be used as powerful energy cannons called the Bloody Cannons (ブラッディ・キャノン, Buraddi Kyanon). Faiz's signature Crimson Smash attack has been powered up significantly. The Blaster Crimson Smash is so tremendously powerful that damaging Photon Energy waves radiate from the point of impact and destroy everything around it.
All of these new abilities and more, except for his Crimson Smash kick which can be performed without the Faiz Pointer, are accessed by inputting codes into the Faiz Blaster, which also holds the Faiz Phone and can transform into Blaster and Blade modes for the Photon Blaster and Photon Breaker Exceed Charges.

Notes[]
- Although the name "Faiz" of Kamen Rider Faiz is from the Greek word/symbol Φ's (Phi's), the "Faiz" spelling is maybe a misspelling of the word "Fives". This is the same as "Kaixa" of Kamen Rider Kaixa which can be interpreted as "Kaizer/Kaiser" (in Japanese, Kaiser (カイザー) is pronounced as "Kaizā").
- Incidentally, Faiz means "victorious" in Arabic (فأز/fa'iz), which references to Faiz's victory over Smart Brain's Orphnoch plot by rending the Orphnoch King comatose.
- Despite being referred to as "FAIZ," other variations in his name include the following:
- Kamen Rider 555
- Kamen Rider Phi
- Kamen Rider Fives
- Kamen Rider Phi's
- Kamen Rider Φ's
* Usual spelling for the series entry is "Kamen Rider 555" (仮面ライダー555, "Kamen Rider 555"), with the Rider's being "Kamen Rider Faiz" (仮面ライダーファイズ, "Kamen Rider Faiz").
- Kamen Rider Faiz's suit design is often thought to be inspired by a firefly, however, it is actually modeled after a shark. In the Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders Super Spin-off net movies, Faiz's antennae resemble a shark's dorsal fin and the mouth plate incorporates triangular designs akin to shark teeth.[10] According to Shin-ichiro Shirakura, early concepts of the show featured marine animal-themed Riders and Faiz has no firefly motif.[11][12]
- The name of Faiz's Axel Form may refer to the "axle" (different spelling; "axel" is a figure skating move named after a person) that a vehicle's wheels spin on to move, or may be a mistaken Romanization of "accel(erate)", meaning to change speeds, usually to become faster. The latter makes sense because Axel Form's ability is a burst of super speed.
- Faiz holds a tie of the most known users with Drive and Delta at 9 users.
- Kamen Rider Faiz is the safest Gear compared to other Smart Brain Gears as it does not cause as many side effects as the other Gears.
- The Faiz Gear is the first "talking" transformation device within the franchise. This was probably due to the intended "phone" motif of the show, which will be referenced years later with Moshi Moshi Faiz, despite the talking belt having become a tradition already.
