Top 10 Heisei Kamen Rider Belts


So continuing off from the 19-11 list, these are the most superior and best Kamen Rider belts in the ways they look and the ways in which they function.

Number 10: Drive's Drive Driver...Nice naming Toei
Drive Driver
Apart from the terrible naming, this driver is actually really cool. It did something new for the franchise. An ARM BRACE. Seen commonly in Super Sentai, the addition here to Kamen Rider was very well executed although i have no idea why Shinnosuke kept looking at it for the time?! The driver itself has a very sleak look attempting to look look like a dashboard and i wouldn't say it pulls off that look to well, its still just very nice to look at. The key turning is also very well implemented from the theming. I'd say the only problem would be the shift cars. They don't look very...non-toyish. Someone find a better word for that please. The standby noise is also catchy but i can't quite "catch" what its saying. Rider revolution?
Fashion: 4/5
Function: 3/5

Number 9: Agito's Rings
Alter Ring
The last of the classic belt designs, the Alter Ring. This belt is extremely sleak in design and the placement of the buttons and lights is just fantastic. I love the hitting the 2 buttons on the sides to transform and pushing the buttons to change forms. Only problem is that it only has like 3 things it can do which is less than Kuuga's belt but still very naisu naisu!
Fashion: 5/5
Function 2/5

Number 8: Double's W shaped dongle
W Driver
The symmetry of this design is pretty much orgasmic. It's got pretty much everything a rider needs other than the weapons. It allowed the users to transform and had a slot on the side for the MAKSHIMAMU DORAIBU! I just really don't like the design of the memories. They're so blocky and look so low tech compared to the belt.
Fashion: 3/5
Function 4/5

Number 7: OOO's Slot machine
OOOs Driver
As i praised the W driver for its symmetry, the OOOs driver gets points for the ingenious engineering for its asymmetrical design. This has everything a rider needs (except weapons) like the W driver but it also has A MEDAL HOLDER although Eiji never bloody uses it >:(  This belt allows the user to transform into multiple animals giving him many options to use in battle, it allows him to do finishing attacks AND it has the best jingle in the entire Kamen Rider series. Ta-To-Ba!
Fashion: 4/5
Function 4/5

Number 6: Decade's Credit Card Scanner
Decadriver
Decade as awful as the show may have been, has a pretty rocking fanny pack. This block of jolly goodness can turn Mr Tsukasa into any rider! How fantastic is that! Unfortunately, this couldn't save the show. It also allowed him to use their abilities although the cards depleted their energies afterwards. And also can Kamen Rider please never use cards as a gimmick anymore? Its been done 3 times already!
Fashion: 4/5
Function: 4/5

Number 5: All aboard the Den-O Train!
Den-O Belt
Top 5 here we go! These belts are basically all perfect so i'm gonna have to find some bullshit points to knock them down on. So umm... this belt has great music, its sleak, the scanning function is a perfect implementation of the theming of trains and scanning travel cards. But i guess i don't like how the standby music doesn't loop naturally?!
Fashion: 5/5
Function 4/5

Number 4: Wizard's Permanent hand on his crotch
Wizard Driver
This driver is basically the exact same as den-o's. Great music, great scanning for magic, and excellent design of the hands. JUST HATE THE STANDBY MUSIC GOD WILL IT EVER SHUT UP!!! SHABADOOBIE SHUT UP!
Fashion: 5/5
Function: 4/5

Number 3: Grandma said this, "Kabuto's Belt is pretty fucking awesome!"
Kabuto Zecter
Goddamn do i love this belt! One of my favourite riders with a hectic bug that splits open revealing a light show?! What more could i ask for? Maybe a few more functions i guess like the next 2 although this belt does make Tendou move at the speed of light...
Fashion: Infinite/5
Function: 4.5/5

Number 2: Suck my blood away, Kiva!
Kivat
A bat perching from a post as a belt? Well hell, do they do it perfectly here! A sentient belt to boot as well. Look this belt is basically missing one thing. A proper weapon for Kiva. Other than that, it can SUMMON weapons (not is but summons, there's a difference), Kivat can hop off the belt and attack enemies and give off some advice and HE CAN SUMMON A DRAGON CASTLE...
Fashion: 5/5
Function: 4.75/5

Number 1: 1,2,3,4,55555555555555zu
Faizgear
Objectively speaking this is the best belt even though my favourite is Kabuto's. This belt has it all. A transformation, a final attack and FINALLY... a proper weapon! *Fanfare noises*. I absolutely adore the transformation voice. "Standing By" "Complete". It's just such a sexy voice and the tron light show? Even better than Kabuto's! And to top it all off a phone that turns into a gun?! Oh i can't handle the functions this belt has.
Fashion: 5/5
Function: 6/5

And that concludes this list. Now obviously these are the definitive rankings. If you disagree, you are just straight up wrong because i am the man that will be at the top of all Blogs!
