Kamen Rider Baron

Kamen Rider Baron or known as Kaito Kumon was the deuteragonist of Kamen Rider Gaim. He was the founder and former leader of Team Baron, receiving a Sengoku Driver from Sid and later upgrading his power to the Genesis Driver. After retaliating against Ryoma Sengoku, his Genesis Driver was destroyed, leaving him no choice but to use his Sengoku Driver again. As with the other Armored and New Generation Riders, Kamen Rider Baron's forms are called Arms.

His personal Lockseeds are styled in pure English that is sung in a chorus-like manner with a "Noun 1 of Noun 2" theme, With the exception of Lemon Energy Arms, all of Baron's European Knight-themed Arms' helmets share the title Casque, while his visors share the title Sight. As an Armored Rider, Baron's Sengoku Driver plays European trumpet music and announces Come On before every transformation. By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, he can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking. As a New Generation Rider, Baron's Genesis Driver announces Soda before every transformation.

Forms

Baron

Baron Genetic Ride Wear

Baron Genetic Ride Wear
- Ride Wear is Baron's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Baron's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
- The Ride Wear that Baron's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator faceplate. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.
- This suit also doubles as Baron's Genetic Ride Wear if he uses the Genesis Driver to access Lemon Energy Arms. Therefore, during battle, the suit will stay on if Kaito decides to change drivers.

Banana Arms is Baron's default banana-based armored European Knight form. Accessed through the Banana Lockseed, this form bears the Burn Casque, a pun on Banana helmet with the Burn Sight, see Burn Casque visor. While assuming Banana Arms, Baron dons the Banana Armor Part and his Arms Weapon is the Banaspear
This form is Baron's most balanced form. In this form, Baron's punching and kicking power is more stronger than Gaim's. However as a tradeoff, Baron's maximum height and running speed is lower than Gaim's, making him able to jump a little higher than Gaim in Pine Arms, but also barely be able to outrun Gaim in Pine Arms. While Banana Arms appears to be purely offensive with little to no defense, Baron can use the Banaspear to create Banana projections that can absorb hits. When Kaito eats the Fruit of Helheim, his abilities are strengthened by the fruit, allowing him as Baron in Banana Arms to almost go head to head against Gaim in Kachidoki Arms.

This Arms has two finishing attacks.

Cavaliend : Baron activates the Squash function on his Sengoku Driver and give a very powerful kick in the shape of a banana.
Spear Victory : This finisher has three variations depending on which function Baron activates from his Sengoku Driver.
- Squash : Baron releases a spear-shaped beam of energy from the Banaspear to thrust at the enemy.
- Au Lait : Baron smashes down his enemy with a giant banana-shaped energy projection from the Banaspear. When stabbed into the ground, however, the energy travels along the ground for a bit before rocketing back up in the familiar banana-shaped projecting, skewering whatever is in its path.
- Sparking : Baron stabs the Banaspear into the ground, creating multiple banana-shaped projections which hit an opponent several times from below. This also provides as a defensive wall against incoming attacks

Gyro Mode : Suika Arms' flight mode, which allows Baron to fire seed-like bullets from the fingertips

Suika Arms is the most massive Arms Change, and it shows by having the most monstrous punching and kicking power once in Yoroi Mode.
