The Haouken Xross Saber (刃王剣クロスセイバー, Haōken Kurosu Seibā, lit. "Blade King Sword Xross Saber/10 Holy Swords") is the transformation device and Seiken of Kamen Rider Xross Saber. It is formed by uniting all of the Seiken. The Xross Saber is also referred to as the Ultimate Seiken (究極の聖剣, Kyūkyoku no Seiken, Lit. "Ultimate Holy Sword").
Design[]
The Haouken Xross Saber is composed of the following parts:
- Haou Sword Grip (ハオウソードグリップ, Haō Sōdo Gurippu): The handle. Using the power of the wielder who unites the ten Seiken, it brings a powerful power that shakes the galaxy.
- Haou Trigger (ハオウトリガー, Haō Torigā): The trigger. It plays the role of a starter in various attacks, and activates special moves by trigger operation.
- Haouken Xross Saber Emblem (刃王剣十聖刃エンブレム, Haouken Kurosu Seibā Enburemu, lit. Blade King Sword Ten Holy Swords Emblem): The source of the power of the united Seiken. By sliding the ring Great Cirxross (グレートサークロス, Gurēto Sākurosu) located in the emblem, the blade can generate an element of one of the ten Seiken and manifest it as an attack. In addition to taking in and integrating the powers of the Seiken, the galaxy is maintained in harmony by returning the surplus of the released power to nothing.
- Dynast Archive (ダイナストアーカイブ, Dainasuto Ākaibu): The blade's base. It has the memory of the battle related to the Seiken and the power to be familiar with the Almighty Book. The power of 10 Seiken resides in the three circular parts Haouser Xross (ハオウサークロス, Haōsā Kurosu): the Kaenken Rekka, Suiseiken Nagare and Raimeiken Ikazuchi in the first Haouser Xross, the Dogouken Gekido, Fuusouken Hayate and Onjuuken Suzune in the second, and the Ankokuken Kurayami, Kougouken Saikou, Eneiken Noroshi and Jikokuken Kaiji in the last. By sliding the Haouken Xross Saber Emblem along the blade and selecting multiple Seiken, it is possible to express an event that interweaves the characteristics of each.
- Sōseijin (創世刃 lit. Creation Blade): The blade. Possessing the brilliance of the galaxy, the blade expresses unparalleled power according to the user's mind. In addition to revealing a huge swordsman by flying the power of the Seiken to a distant place, it also has a powerful ability to rewrite and restore the world.

To transform, the user inserts one to three Wonder Ride Books into the corresponding slots on the belt and pulls out the sword. There are currently three different transformation effects depending on which Xross Saber forms the user choose:
- Xross Saber: The user is surrounded by the projections of the ten Seikens as Brave Dragon, projected by the corresponding Wonder Ride Book hovers above the user. Brave Dragon then change its color scheme to fit the Xross Saber coloration scheme as the user performs an "X" slash. Both the Dragon and the Seikens projection then become the armor, while the slashes become the visor, thus completing the Transformation.
- Crimson Saber: The user performs an "X" slash before the projection of Brave Dragon with Xross Saber coloration, a purplish Eagle and a white Kinton cloud circles the user and forms both the armor and visor, completing the transformation.
- Featuring Saber: The user raises the Haouken as projections of Brave Dragon, Lion Senki, and Lamp do Alangina, all with Xross Saber colorations is summoned from their corresponding Wonder Ride Books, before they merged with the user, becoming the armor and visor.
Combat[]
While the Xross Saber is used like Kaenken Rekka, some of the movements are new for Saber. Because the Xross Saber is made from other Seiken, there are some finisher moves that are derived from the users of the other Seiken, and performed with the same movements.
It possesses a unique power to restore damage not seen in previous Seiken and it also can summon other seiken that can be used by Xross Saber for its respective ability such as Jikokuken Kaiji's time erasure ability.
History[]
- "When the one destined to stoke the fire of the first Seiken forged by human hands appears, a Seiken with the power to connect the stars and lead this tale to its conclusion will be born."
- ―Tetsuo Daishinji and Yuri narrating the legend of Haouken Xross Saber[src]
When Touma and his team battling with Isaac (Saber), he says that the swords have their own feelings, and after that, all the swordsmen route their Seiken to the sky and unite their powers to form Haouken Xross Saber. Using the sword, Touma transforms into Xross Saber, and defeats Solomon.
To pause the further encroachment of the Wonder World via Kamen Rider Storious' The End of The World, Touma performed a Haou Xross Seiretsuzan and threw the Haouken Xross Saber to the giant stone sword's crossguard, resulting in an energy wave that spread.
A year after Storious was defeated, Touma finished a manuscript, and went outside of the replica of Fantastic Bookstore Kamiyama. The camera pans out to reveal the newly created Wonder World, with a giant stone version of Haouken Xross Saber plunged to the ground, in place of the previous giant stone sword.

Behind the Scenes[]
A shorter prop version of Haouken Xross Saber is used by actors when performing Xross Saber's transformation sequence.
Portrayal[]
The Haouken Xross Saber is voiced by Akio Otsuka (大塚 明夫, Ōtsuka Akio), who has voiced various characters in Super Sentai, including Hades God Dagon in Mahou Sentai Magiranger and Champ/Oushi Black in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. The vocal section is provided by singer Eizo Sakamoto (坂本 英三, Sakamoto Eizou). In the DX version, when in voice mode, it is voiced by Syuichiro Naito, who portrays Touma Kamiyama.
Notes[]
- The Haouken Xross Saber is the first final form to use the Rider's main form collectible device.
- It is also the first weapon to be introduced alongside the primary Rider's Final Form since the Axcalibur.
- While Mumeiken Kyomu is used to create the Haouken Xross Saber, it is not a part of the aforementioned sword. This is because its position in the Seikens' Sefirot is the equivalent to the Da'at position, meaning that it helps connect all the Seiken to each other, but it is not supposed to exist; it is an additional position that helps connect all the Seiken from this position.
- The DX version's announcement for Xross Saber's forms can be accessed by using other books.
- Xross Saber: Any non-Legend Rider Wonder Ride Book
- Crimson Saber: Any three random Wonder Ride Books, except for Brave Dragon + Lion Senki + Lamp Do Alangina and three Legend Rider Wonder Ride Books.
- Hybrid Saber: Any two random Wonder Ride Books, except for two Legend Rider Wonder Ride Books.
- Xross Saber is the second sword to feature a sliding gimmick, the first one being the Zanvat Sword.
- Although only 6 combinations have been used, there are a total of 1,023 combinations for the Xross Giri attack.
