Kamen Rider Calibur Jaou Dragon

Jaou Dragon (ジャオウドラゴン, Jaou Doragon) is Calibur's dragon-based final form accessed by using the Jaou Dragon Wonder Ride Book in the Jaken Caliburdriver.

In this form, Calibur far surpasses all forms appeared as of its debut, even outperforming a Wonder Combo form. This form also grants levitation abilities and he also gains the ability to transform into a ball of dark miasma.

SHFiguarts Masked Rider Calibur Jaou Dragon review

Head

An interesting design in which the flame part is visible with a design that makes the dragon collect flames in its mouth. The Jaaku Dragon looked like a knight's armor, so it's almost different. Only the blade on the top of the head was the same.

Body

The abdomen and legs are the same as the Kamen Rider Calibur Jaaku Dragon, but the others are newly modeled. The shape, cloak, and color of the shoulders are more elegant than that.

The chest is also newly shaped and the armor is connected to the shoulders, and the color changes from silver to silver and the impression changes greatly. The belt is the same evil sword Calibur driver as the Jaaku Dragon. The Jaou Dragon Wonder Ride Book is removable.

Arms and Legs

The left upper arm is the same as the Jaaku Dragon, but the others are new. The legs were exactly the same. The cloak is made of a soft material and is realistically shaped such as wrinkles. The cloak is made up of 3 parts and is soft so it can be raised. It is not possible to make fine movements like cloth with wire.

Option Set and Accessories

Ankokuken Kurayami was the same as that of the Jaaku Dragon Form. It is also possible to mount it on the left waist by using a replacement must-have holder. It looks like it has evolved properly, such as the head becoming flashy and the silver becoming gold.

Movability and Articulation

The joints are made in the same way as the Jaaku Dragon. However, the structure of the shoulder armor has changed, so it has become a little difficult to move.

You can hold both hands of the sword, but it's a little clunky because you can't do it without bending your elbows. There is no problem with the rotation of the head and hips. The cloak is also a soft material, so it did not affect the movement.

The pose that you hold at the time of the special move can be reproduced almost as it is.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Calibur Jaou Dragon. There are some diversions of Jaaku Dragon, but most of them are newly modeled and the unique design of the head and shoulders is reproduced as the image in the play, and although the cloak is not made of cloth, the wrinkle modeling and texture are natural and very very.

It was finished in good shape. Although the shoulders are a little difficult to move due to the design, there was no big effect and the movements in the play can be reproduced, so I was not particularly dissatisfied with the play.
