"Melon Arms: Authorized by providence! (天下御免, Tenka Gomen)"
―Transformation announcement[src]

Melon Arms (メロンアームズ, Meron Āmuzu) is an alternate honeydew melon-based armored Japanese Samurai form of Armored Riders. Accessed through the Melon Lockseed, this form's Arms Weapon is the Melon Defender, while the helmet the Rider wears is the Melo Kabuto (メロウカブト, Merō Kabuto, lit. "Melo Helmet") with the Pulp Eye (パルプアイ, Parupu Ai) visor. While it is the default form of Armored Rider Zangetsu, it can also be used by other Riders.

Finishing attacks[]

  • Melon Musou Zan (メロン無双斬, Meron Musō Zan, lit. "Melon Unrivaled Slash"):: After Zangetsu activates his Sengoku Driver's Squash function, he charges the Musou Saber with melon-shaped energy before slashing the enemy.

  • Melou Blast (メロウブラスト, Merou Burasuto): After Zangetsu activates his Sengoku Driver's Squash function, he throws his Melon Defender charged with maskmelon slice-shaped energy at the enemy. He delivers a lime green energy slash with the Musou Saber, and stabs the enemy in the chest. A apparition of maskmelon rind explodes on the enemy before they themselves explode.

Notes[]

  • Melon Arms' transformation announcement is based on tenka gomen, the Japanese term for the concept of the Mandate of Heaven; it is also a pun on "tenga" (瓜), the Japanese word for melon.
  • Despite the Melon Arms being Zangetsu's standard form, it was only utilized a few times throughout Kamen Rider Gaim, due to Takatora abandoning his Sengoku Driver for a Genesis Driver early in the show, and briefly reappeared only to be destroyed by Mitsuzane after having stolen his brother's Genesis Driver.
  • In Fresh Orange Arms is Born!, both Baron and Ryugen turn down this form because:
    • Baron claimed that he doesn't need a giant shield and that he only needs to attack in battle.
    • Ryugen felt embarrassed to use the same form that his brother uses.
      • Coincidentally, Mitsuzane was able to assume the Zangetsu Shin form, another rider form that Takatora uses.
