CSM Genesis Driver - Kamen Rider Gaim Henshin Belt

From Kamen Rider Gaim, which began airing on TV Asahi on Sunday, October 6, 2013, and celebrated its 10th anniversary on Friday, October 6, 2023, the transformation belt Genesis Driver and transformation item Energy Lock Seed will be released in the CSM series! The CSM Genesis Driver is a set that includes the Genesis Driver, 5 types of Energy Lock Seeds, and a Kill Process Activation device. The Genesis Driver features a new shape and color scheme to match the suit prop. The lock-on arm, fully painted and using zinc die-casting, imparts a luxurious look and feel. It is also equipped with a dialogue button, sound effect button, and BGM button, allowing you to enjoy reproducing various productions from the show with sound. Additionally, changes in the internal structure have made the physical sound quieter when the handle grip returns, enhancing the audibility of transformation sounds and special move sounds. Approximately 100 LEDs in the central cup use LED animation to express the liquid, previously done in CG in the movie. LEDs on the tube's top and bottom simulate the appearance of liquid flowing into the cup.

The included Kill Process Activation device sends infrared rays to the Genesis Driver, triggering a destructive sound. Subsequently, the Genesis Driver is in a destroyed state and cannot operate until the power is restarted. Seven cast members who used the Genesis Driver in the show provide recorded lines, all specifically produced for CSM. A significant amount of BGM is included, featuring songs not found in the soundtrack. A standby mode automatically plays BGM during transformation.

The 5 types of Energy Lock Seeds included are: Melon Energy Lock Seed, Lemon Energy Lock Seed, Cherry Energy Lock Seed, Peach Energy Lock Seed, and Dragon Fruit Energy Lock Seed. The shape and color scheme match the suit prop, and the toy markings, cutout holes, and protrusions for screws have been omitted. The locking structure of the lid has been changed, eliminating the locking structure on the seal surface seen in the DX version.

Transformation sounds now include the sounds of arms falling and arms expanding to enhance the reproduction of the show's production. Special move audio has been modified to align with the series. The device can switch between three types of modes, and sound effects vary based on the mode. Each rider's transformation is faithfully reproduced, with shouts from some cast members included. Melon Energy Lock Seed and Lemon Energy Lock Seed feature the shouts of two users each. Energy Lock Seed can be set to the already released CSM Sengoku Driver's Genesis Core to reproduce the Jinbar Arms.
