Henshin Belt Gavv

This article is about a transformation device in Kamen Rider Gavv.

The Henshin Belt Gavv (変身ベルトガヴ, Henshin Beruto Gavu) is the transformation device used by Kamen Rider Gavv.^[1]

In-universe, it is Shoma's Gavv, an organ possessed by the Granute. Due to Shoma's Gavv being unique in both appearance and functionality, it is referred to by other Granutes as the Red Gavv (赤ガヴ, Aka Gavu),

Overview[]

Due to being part-Granute, Shoma naturally possesses a Gavv. Upon Bouche Stomach's request, Dente Stomach modified it so that Shoma could create kin like his siblings. However, he still was unable to do so, leading to the operation being seen as a failure. After coming to the human world, Shoma discovers that he can create his kin, the Gochizo, by eating human snacks. He can then use the Gochizos to transform and gain powers based on their characteristics.

Design[]

The Henshin Belt Gavv is composed of the following parts:

• Gavvdle (ガヴドル, Gavudoru): The handle organ. Chewing occurs by rotating.
• Red Jaw (レッドジョー, Reddo Jō): The upper jaw. Its powers were awakened by eating snacks from the human world, allowing Shoma to create kin called "Gochizo" that reflected the taste, texture, and emotions he experienced at that time. Careful continuation of daily tooth brushing will maintain its ability to do so.
• Delicussion (デリカッション, Derikasshon): The lip-smacking organ. Striking the button causes a transformation or materialization of the characteristics of the Gochizo.
• Tastetongue (テイスタン, Teisutan): The tongue. In addition to the basic tastes of sweet, bitter, salty, sour, and umami, it has excellent taste buds that can sense a sixth taste, "feelings," and brings out the characteristics of the Gochizo.
• Waitarm (ウェイタム, Weitamu): The injection organ. It transforms and changes the body of the transformer by injecting the characteristics of its kin into them.

Functionality[]

Gochizo Creation[]

Every time Shoma eats a snack from the human world, corresponding Gochizo will be created from the back of the Gavv's type. For example, if Shoma eats a grape flavored gummy, the Gavv will spawn Poppingummy Gochizo. Snacks with assorted flavors will spawn Gochizo of each flavors.

However, Gochizo will not be born when Shoma eats normal meals.

Transformation[]

To transform into Kamen Rider Gavv, Shoma opens the Red Jaw of the Gavv, causing the Tastetongue to protrude. He inserts Gochizo onto the Tastongue and closes the Red Jaw. Rotating the Gavvdle makes the Gavv chew and a transparent plastic wrapper surrounds Shoma as he produces the biological tissue of the corresponding snack from his body. The transparent wrapper also serves as protection for Shoma against Granute attacks, although Agents' weapons are capable of bypassing this protection. Shoma hits the Delicussion causing the Gochizo to awaken and the plastic wrapper to burst open. The surrounding snacks fly into the Gavv and the armor materializes around Shoma's transformed body, completing the transformation. Shoma eyes will glow purple during this process.

Using Gochizo that are similar type to Gavv's current form activates a Follow-up Snack Change (追い菓子チェンジ, Oi Kashi Chenji),^[2][3] which accesses an Assist that augments a form with additional snacks and grants new powers. Kickingummy Gochizo, which grants Gavv's Poppingummy Form the ability to increase his kicking power with a giant foot on his left leg or execute a Rider Kick.

Finisher[]

Gavv activates a finisher by turning the Gavvdle and pressing the Delicussion again. Once the finisher is performed, the Gochizo inside will die, signified by the Gochizo fly off as souls with wings and halo in a cartoonish manner.

Summoning[]

Certain Gochizo allow Gavv to summon a weapon or vehicle. Gavv can also summon the Gavvgablade at any time by ejecting it from the mouth of the Gavv.

Notes[]

• The naming scheme for the Henshin Belt Gavv deviates from the tradition of the primary Rider's transformation belt being named a "Driver", which has been consistent since the Decadriver in Kamen Rider Decade.
• Turning the DX toy's handle is not necessary to activate the transformation and finisher announcements.
