The Raise Buckles (レイズバックル, Reizu Bakkuru) are a series of belt buckle-like items used by the Riders in the DGP to access new powers and abilities. Utilizing a Raise Buckle on the right-hand side of the Desire Driver affects the Rider's upper body while utilizing one on the left-hand side affects their lower body. If two Raise Buckles are used at once for the Dual On (ヅアルオン, Duaru On) combining function, a Rider can switch both sides of the Desire Driver to the opposite side via the Revolve On (リヴォルヴオン, Rivorufu On) rotating function.
The two primary types of Raise Buckles are the plentiful small-sized Armed (アームド, Āmudo) Raise Buckles, which grant the players a corresponding Raise Weapon (レイズウェポン, Reizu Uepon), and the rare large-sized Form (フォーム, Fōmu) Raise Buckles, which allow the players to assume armor-based forms and augment Raise Weapons. Unlike the Armed Raise Buckles, the Form Raise Buckles' designs have a matching center design denoting their primary halves. As these Raise Buckles are difficult to find normally, most of them can be found quickly through either Secret Missions or emergency situations:
- Magnum (マグナム, Magunamu): Equips the user with the twin arm/leg-mounted Armored Guns (アーマードガン, Āmādo Gan) and grants the use of the Magnum Shooter 40X (マグナムシューター40X, Magunamu Shūtā Fō Zero Ekkusu) firearm, which can switch between Handgun Mode (ハンドガンモード, Handogan Mōdo) and Rifle Mode (ライフルモード, Raifuru Mōdo) as well as combine with the Magnum Buckle to access its Machine Gun Mode (マシンガンモード, Mashin Gan Mōdo). Its primary half is the Boost Buckle.
- Boost (ブースト, Būsuto): Grants increased offensive capabilities and the use of the BooStriker (ブーストライカー, Būsutoraikā) motorcycle, which can switch between Bike Mode (バイクモード, Baiku Mōdo) and one of various Animal Modes (アニマルモード, Animaru Mōdo) based on the user's motif. Unlike other Form Raise Buckles, the Boost Buckle can only be utilized until the user performs a Boost Time (ブーストタイム, Būsuto Taimu) finisher and is the most difficult to find.[2] Its primary half is the Magnum Buckle.
- Boost Mark II (ブーストマークII, Būsuto Māku Tsū): An upgraded version of the Boost Buckle that allows the user to assume Boost Form Mark II (ブーストフォームマークII, Būsuto Fōmu Māku Tsū), which grants the use of the Beast Mode (ビーストモード, Bīsuto Mōdo) ability, allowing the user to transform into an evolved version of the BooStriker's Animal Mode based on their motif via the Revolve On function.[7]
- Zombie (ゾンビ, Zonbi): Equips the user with the poisonous BerserClaw (バーサークロー, Bāsākurō) gauntlet/sabaton and grants the use of the chainsaw-like Zombie Breaker (ゾンビブレイカー, Zonbi Bureikā) sword. While transforming, the Zombie Buckle produces poisonous liquid capable of dissolving the user's enemies into nothingness.[2]
- Ninja (ニンジャ): Grants ninjutsu and the use of the double-bladed Ninja Dueler (ニンジャデュアラー, Ninja Duarā) sword, which can separate in half to form a pair of daggers.[3]
- Monster (モンスター, Monsutā): Equips the user with either the Monster Glove (モンスターグローブ, Monsutā Gurōbu) gauntlets or the Big Boot (ビッグブーツ, Biggu Būtsu) sabatons.[4] During the events of the film Kamen Rider Geats × Revice: Movie Battle Royale, the Monster Buckle is temporarily used by Kamen Rider Vice.
- Beat (ビート, Bīto): Grants symphokinesis and the use of the Beat Axe (ビートアックス, Bīto Akkusu) electric guitar, which can switch between Guitar Mode (ギターモード, Gitā Mōdo) and Axe Mode (アックスモード, Akkusu Mōdo) as well as grant the additional use of cryo-, electro-, and pyrokinesis.[13] During the events of the film Kamen Rider Geats × Revice: Movie Battle Royale, the Beat Buckle is temporarily used by Kamen Rider Revi.
- Fever Slot (フィーバースロット, Fībā Surotto): A right-hand side exclusive Raise Buckle that allows the user to randomly summon either the armor of an existing Form Raise Buckle or the Raise Weapon of an Armed Raise Buckle. If the summoned Form Raise Buckle matches the one on the Desire Driver's left-hand side, the user assumes a Fever Form (フィーバーフォーム, Fībā Fōmu), whose power level is increased two-fold without using the Revolve On function. To signify the difference between regular Form Raise Buckle armors, Fever Forms replace the user's personal accessory with a Fever Cross (フィーバークロス, Fībā Kurosu) version. Five copies of the Fever Slot Buckle were created by Girori to counter the Jyamato's increasing power.[5]
- Command Twin (コマンドツイン, Komando Tsuin): A two-in-one Raise Buckle consisting of the orange-colored Command Jet (コマンドジェット, Komando Jetto) Buckle and the blue-colored Command Cannon (コマンドキャノン, Komando Kyanon) Buckle that grants the use of the Raising Sword (レイジングソード, Reijingu Sōdo). Utilizing the Command Jet Buckle in the Desire Driver and the Command Cannon Buckle in the Raising Sword allows the user to assume a base Raising Form (レイジングフォーム, Reijingu Fōmu) while utilizing both Command Twin Buckles in the Desire Driver allows them to assume an armored Command Form (コマンドフォーム, Komando Fōmu), the latter of which can switch between Jet Mode (ジェットモード, Jetto Mōdo) and Cannon Mode (キャノンモード, Kyanon Mōdo) via the Revolve On function.[15][22]
