The Duri Noko (ドリノコ, Dori Noko, lit. "Durian Saws") is the Armored Rider Arms Weapon granted either by accessing Durian Arms or via the summoning ability of Kiwami Arms. Kamen Rider Proto Bravo wields a black-colored variant of it.
They consist of a pair of broadswords with serrated edges on the blades, as well as spikes on what would be the flat of the blades, with the tips of the blades near-shovel like in design, making them act like saws as well.
The Duri Noko can be combined together by the ends of the grips to be thrown at the target like a throwing saw blade that will return back to Bravo.
The user can also throw them separately at an opponent where they can either return to the user or explode and fire countless energy blasts at the opponent.
Design[]
The Duri Noko is composed of the following parts:
- Rivet Point (リベットポイント, Ribetto Pointo) are the spikes that run across the flat side of the Duri Noko, allowing the Rider to use of the flat side as a cutting/stabbing weapon.
- Sawyer Edge (ソウヤーエッジ, Sōyā Ejji) is the green sawblade-like sword blade. Although it is inferior to ordinary blades in terms of sharpness, the Sawyer Edge is aimed to damage armor, and its saw-like sections more than make up for this. The blade is thick (the reason for its inferiority to other blades in terms of sharpness), and because of this, the blade is virtually impossible to chip.
- Broad Bridge (ブロードブリッジ, Burōdo Burijji) is the grey frame of the blade, and is where the Rivet Points are located, and is directly connected to the Doria Stock. It is extremely durable, and by extending it to the tip, it is strong enough to support the Duri Noko even when the Rider swings and shakes the weapon.
- Thorn Guard (ソーンガード, Sōn Gādo) is the spiked knuckle guard of the Duri Noko. In addiiton to protecting the hand, it can be used as a battering weapon at very close range, akin to a knuckleduster.
- Duria Stock (ドリアストック, Doria Sutokku) is the handle of the Duri Noko.

After Bravo getting corrupted by a plant from Helheim Forest and transformed into Kingdurian Arms, his Arms Weapon is the Giga Duri Noko (ギガドリノコ, Giga Dori Noko, lit. "Giga Durian Saws").

Finishing attacks[]
- Duriasshe (ドリアッシェ, Doriasshe): After Bravo activates his Sengoku Driver's Au Lait function, he swings his Duri Noko at the opponent, launching lime green durian-shaped energy spheres with every swing. A stronger variation exists where he charges a giant durian-shaped energy sphere and swings it at the opponent. It can also be done in an energy slash fashion.

- Unnamed Rider Slash: After Bravo activates his Sengoku Driver's Sparking function, he charges his Duri Noko with black, red and lime green durian-shaped energy, then delivers a powerful slash to the enemy.

Notes[]
- Like the Ichigo Kunai, this Arms Weapon is more than just one weapon. It shares this trait of being a pair with the Kiwi Gekirin and Kurumi Bombers.
- Unlike other non-single Arms Weapons, the Duri Noko can join together to become one weapon in the show. (The Ichigo Kunai can combine in the toyline only)
- In setting, Kiwami Arms can use all Arms Weapons. In May 2021, CSM Kiwami Lockseed added 17 additional sound effects that were not included before, including the Giga Duri Noko. So in a sense, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms is also a user of Giga Duri Noko, although it has not been shown anywhere.[1]
