Kamen Rider Mars or Kougane, is the main antagonist in Kamen Rider Gaim: Great Soccer Battle! Golden Fruits Cup!. He later returns in the series finale after possessing a teenage girl to transform into Kamen Rider Jam, serving as the series' final villain. Kougane is the manifestation of an artificial Golden Fruit created by an Over Lord in the past.
His awakening eventually accelerated the race's extinction as they fought to the death. Like with the other Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Mars/Jam's forms are called Arms. His Sengoku Driver does not either play any sort of music or announce something before every transformation, while his personal Lockseeds are styled in pure Japanese.
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Mars/Jam can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking. In addition to the Sengoku Driver's finishing moves, Kougane as Jam can perform a Fruits Charge finishing attack by inserting a Lockseed into the Drive Launch of his Musou Saber.

Mars Ride Wear


- Mars Ride Wear
- The Ride Wear is Mars' default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Mars' 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 Mars'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.

- Golden Arms is Mars' default golden apple-based European Knight form, which is accessed through the Golden Ringo Lockseed. While assuming Golden Arms, Mars dons the Golden Armor Part and his Arms Weapons are the Sword Bringer and Apple Reflecter.
- This form is powered through the energy of other Armored Riders. Initially rusted, it starts to unrust when the Armored Riders turn on each other and their deaths are then fueled into the Golden Ringo Lockseed. While this means that Mars Golden Arms is the collective force of all of the fallen Armored Riders, it also means that the Golden Ringo Lockseed requires more and more energy to maintain itself as its power starts to slip.
- During Kougane's debut against Kouta, Mars overpowered Gaim Orange Arms and also managed to fare well against Gaim Banana, Donguri, Durian, and Jimber Lemon Arms. As Mars, Kougane was weakened further when he used his powers to try and to consume Kouta to boost his power, but an unexpected effect happened where Kouta instead turned dark instead of being consumed. After Kouta breaks free from the brainwashing, Gaim Kachidoki Arms was able to fight against Mars Golden Arms with relative ease. By the point where Gaim assumed Kiwami Arms, Mars was wallowing in pain, resorting to assume a Flame Horse form. After that was defeated, Mars loses most of his energy, resulting into the deceased Riders aiding Kouta.
- Mars used the rest of his power to summon fire clones of himself, but they are easily dispatched with little effort as shown by Ryugen shooting once to destroy them and Kurokage kicking them for them to fade. In the aftermath of the defeat of the remaining Armored Riders, the Golden Ringo Lockseed was completely drained of its energy, corrupting it into the Black Ringo Lockseed, meaning that Kougane loses the ability to transform into Armored Rider Mars.

- The Flame Horse
- Appearances : Golden Fruits Cup!.
- Mars' body merges with The Flame Horse in the final battle of the movie to fight the Armored and New Generation Riders.
Jam Ride Wear


- Jam Ride Wear
- The Ride Wear is Jam's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Jam'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.
- Jam is one of only a few Armored Riders who are defaultly equipped with a Musou Saber side weapon. However, unlike the others, his Sengoku Driver does not come with a holster, while the Musou Saber itself was not even visible until it appeared without notice in the middle of battle.
- The Ride Wear that Jam'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.

- Mars Darkness Arms
- Origin : Earth (Main Timeline Continuity)
- Version : Kamen Rider Gaim
- Type : New Generation Armored Riders
- Arms : Darkness
- Announcement : Darkness Arms : Ōgon no Kajitsu! (Sinister choir with harp music)

- Darkness Arms is Jam's default apple-based Japanese Samurai form. Accessed through the Black Ringo Lockseed, this form bears the Black Mask helmet with the Steering Eye visor. While assuming Darkness Arms, Jam dons the Darkness Armor Part and his Arms Weapon is the Dark Daidaimaru.
- This form is substantially weaker than Mars due to the fact that the Golden Ringo Lockseed was depleted of all its energy, turning it into the Black Ringo Lockseed. Kougane has stated that he has only been able to regain very little of its power back. Despite that, by pure numbers, he does have the strongest punch out of all the Armored Riders, beyond even Gaim, is second to only Kachidoki Arms for kicks and barely is stronger than Duke, can jump as high as Gaim and Baron in Pine Arms and Mango Arms, and barely outpaced by Baron and both Zangetsu and Zangetsu-Shin.
- In fact it possesses the same punching and kicking power as the Golden Arms, but is faster and can jump higher. Despite this fact, Jam appears to have very low defensive capabilities to the point where even Ryugen was able to injure him alone whereas Mars was able to fight against the surviving Riders in the Soccer World.
- Squash : Jam summons up to 15 energy apples, then slashes an energized Dark Daidaimaru Naginata Mode to send them flying so as to bombard the enemy.
- Au Lait : Jam summons a bigger energy apple, then jabs the Dark Daidaimaru Naginata Mode into it, sending it flying at the enemy.

- Golden Fruit (Kougane's True Form)
- Appearances : Golden Fruits Cup!.
- Kougane's true form, an artificial version of the Golden Fruit. During the final battle, it houses itself in a flaming goalpost, surrounded by Mars' fire clones. It was ultimately destroyed by Kamen Riders Gaim and Kamuro.
- War Manipulation : As the embodiment of the artificial Golden Fruit, Kougane can use the grasshopper-shaped Evil Seeds to manipulate the Armored Riders of the World of Soccer into fighting each others.
- Living Hive : Kougane can either produce or transform his body into a swarm of Evil Seeds.
- Crack Creation : Kougane can create cracks freely as portals from the real world to Lapis' world.
- Rider Absorption : After the victims are consumed by anger and rage, he can absorb and contain their abilities via their own Lockseeds to empower the Ringo Lockseed.
- Corruption Inducement : Humans with a certain level of resistance, such as Kouta Kazuraba, will not be absorbed and only become brainwashed with their powers corrupted.
- Disguises : Kougane is able to assume multiple human guises, like his best-known appearance as a middle-aged man, or Yuya Sumii.
- Possession : Kougane is also capable of possessing humans by using the Evil Seeds. In the series finale, Kougane possessed a teenage girl.
- Instant Transformation : As Jam, Kougane can simply transform by raising his left hand with a black aura surrounding his body and the whole arsenal and Ride Wear appear instantly.
