As with the other Armored Riders that use Lockseeds, Kamen Rider Gridon/Kurokage's forms are called Arms. 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 Gridon, Jonouchi's Sengoku Driver plays European trumpet music and announces Come Onbefore every transformation, while his personal Lockseeds as Gridon are styled in pure English that is sung in a chorus-like manner. As Kurokage, Jonouchi's Sengoku Driver plays Japanese horagai music and announces Soiya before every transformation, while his personal Lockseeds are styled with a mix of Japanese words and English words.

Gridon Ride Wear
- Gridon Ride Wear
- The Ride Wear is Gridon's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Gridon'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 Gridon'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 form debuts in episode 5. While assuming Donguri Arms, Gridon dons the Donguri Armor Part and his Arms Weapon is the Donkachi.

As for his jumping height and running speed, they are the same as Gaim's in Pine Arms. Gridon is later further strengthened when his Sengoku Driver is replaced with an updated, refined model.

- Unnamed Rider Shooting : Gridon activates the Sparking function on his Sengoku Driver and swings the Donkachi, sending a pulse of energy at the target.

- Suika Arms is the most massive Arms Change, and it shows by having the most monstrous punching and kicking power once in Yoroi Mode. Consequentially, it also has the worst jumping height in all of Rider history, and any Rider can practically outrun it. Though this is rendered moot thanks to Odama Mode and Gyro Mode. Also, after a utilization, the Suika Lockseed's color becomes grey, indicating that its energy is low and needs time to recharge back to its green color before it can be used again.
- While assuming Suika Arms, Gridon dons the Suika Armor Part and his Arms Weapon is currently unknown. This form can also interchange into three modes.
- Yoroi Mode : Suika Arms' warrior mode, which equips Gridon with its main weapon for combat.

- The Ride Wear is Kurokage's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Kurokage'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.
- Unlike the original Armored Riders, the Kurokage Troopers' Ride Wear isn't identifiable through their Sengoku Driver's Rider Indicator faceplate due to using mass-produced Sengoku Drivers.

- A modified Lockseed created by Oren Pierre Alfonzo, it looks exactly like the regular Donguri Lockseed until Jonouchi attempts to insert it into the Driver. Rather than open, the lock plays a clip of Oren singing an off-key version of the normal Driver sound effect, opens on its own to reveal a picture of Oren's face and the inscription Bakamon! Combination of "Baka" and Come On!, more literally on its lower tab as any object will fall onto of his head.
- In episode 17 : Inside the Charmant it drops a metal pan on Jonouchi's head while the Lockseed announces "Bakamon" followed by Haji o shiri nasai!. Later, the lockseed plays Oren's version of "Never Give Up!" in a loud voice.
- In episode 18 : While trying to figure out which of his Lockseeds was the real one, he chooses poorly and picks the wrong one twice, resulting in multiple soda cans from a garbage man's bag dropping onto him, followed by Oren jump-kicking on him instantly upon finding him. When Oren finds out about the Beat Rider Team dance event, he mistakenly thinks that Jonouchi plans to take part in it too and slams his butt onto Jonouchi's face.
