The Medagabryu (メダガブリュー, Medagaburyū, lit. "Medal Biting Dragon") is Putotyra Combo's signature weapon, enabling Kamen Rider OOO to unleash the full potential of the Core Medals. It first appears in episode 32.

Usage

The Medagabryu can interchange between Ax Mode (アックスモード, Akkusu Mōdo) and Bazooka Mode (バズーカモード, Bazūka Mōdo). It can also be used with other forms, allowing OOO to execute ice-powered slashes. However, only Putotyra Combo is able to control the weapon's Bazooka Mode.If the mouth of the Medagabryu is left shut for a few seconds without opening it back, depending on which Medal type was inserted, the weapon will burp (two short burps when a Cell Medal is inserted, or a single long burp when a Core Medal is inserted).

Finishers

When Cell Medals are inserted into the Medagabryu, OOO can initiate a Putotyranno Hissatsu (プトティラノヒッサツ, Putotira no Hissatsu, lit. "Putotyranno Finisher") finishing move depending on the weapon's mode.

• Axe Mode
• Bazooka Mode

Axe Mode enables OOO to perform the Grand of Rage (グランド・オブ・レイジ, Gurando obu Reiji) slash, which is powerful enough to damage Core Medals.

• Sagohzo Combo: OOO delivers a 360 degree energy slash covered in white energy.
• Tatoba/Takauba Combo: OOO delivers an electrified downward slash.
• Latorartar Combo: OOO riding on Toridevendor, he then projects three yellow rings in front of him before charging through them with the Cheetah Medal's speed, delivering a purple energy slash on the target with the Medagabryu infused with the Dinosaur Medal's energy.
• Putotyra Combo: After absorbing thousands of Cell Medals, OOO swings the Medagabryu and delivers a 360 degree energy slash covered in purple energy.

Behind the Scenes

Portrayal

The voice of the Medagabryu, as well as the O Scanner, is provided by Akira Kushida (串田 アキラ, Kushida Akira).

Naming

The name given for this item in Detail of Heroes is "Medagabryu", with an additional "u".

Notes

• Gokkun (ゴックン, Gokkun) is the Japanese onomatopoeia for "gulp".
• The Medagabryu is reminscent of the Mothbreaker weapon wielded by MammothRanger in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, which is also an axe which could change into a cannon. While MammothRanger was not based off a dinosaur, Zyuranger was primarily a dinosaur-themed team, like Putotyra Combo's motifs.
• The Medagabryu is the first Final Form exclusive weapon to be an axe.
  • This would be followed by the last Final Form-exclusive weapon of the Heisei Era, the weapon form of Kamen Rider Wizard's Wizardragon, Axcalibur.
    • Other riders would wield axes as either primary weapons of a main form, or used prior to obtaining an Final Form, but still used them in said form.
