Base Tanks



Base Tanks (フルボトル) are the sample bottle-like collectible devices used by the Power Riders in Kamen Rider DNA. The majority of the Fullbottles are in a collection of 60 that are associated with each panel of the Edenoi Enigma, with 20 Fullbottles representing each region of Japan: Touto, Hokuto, and Seito.

Variants of Fullbottles include Helix Cartons, used by the Helix Extractor, Gears, used by the Mechanic Blaster, and Enigma Tanks, used by the Edenoi Combiner.

Overview
The Base Tanks contain purified Nebula Gas and allow a person with a Helix Level of 3 or higher to transform into a powerful armored form when used in the Genome Combiner or Transteam Gun. They may also be used in the Evol-Driver, which the Build Driver was based off of.

The Base Tanks were originally created by the alien entity Striker based on memories of his host, the astronaut Soichi Isurugi. Striker did this by asking Soichi questions. He first asked him for 30 things that he liked. Soichi answered with things from Misora's picture book, which were then used to create the Biotic Base Tanks. Striker then asked Soichi to name 30 things that could destroy each of the ones he had just named. Soichi initially answered with objects such as tanks and guns, but soon started naming random objects in an effort to protect the things that Misora loved once he realized Striker's motives. Pairing an Biotic Fullbottle with the Abiotic Base Tank representing the item intended to destroy it results in a particularly powerful combination, called a Base Pair. Normally using two homogeneous bottles in the Genome Combiner for a form would be impossible, but if the user had a Helix Level of at least 7, this restriction can be ignored.

Originally, the sole purpose of the Fullbottles was to allow Striker to open the Edenoi Enigma, giving him access to his full power so that he could destroy the Earth as he did with Mars. However, the Queen of Mars, Vernage, had possessed Isurugi's daughter Misora and removed essence of the bottles. Striker trying to open the Enigma with the blank Fullbottles resulted in the Skywall Disaster. Years later, with Striker's help, the bottles were restored by Shinobu Kartal. His son, Tinek Kartal, studied the Base Tanks and Helix Gas for Project DNA, resulting in the creation of the Genome Combiner and the Rider System.

At some point, several Base Tanks lost their essence and many of them were scattered over Japan. To quickly collect the Base Tanks again and use them to open the Enigma, Striker wiped Tinek Kartal's memory and convinced them that needed to defeat Wrecker and obtain Base Tanks in order to protect Touto.

After DNA defeats a Wrecker, an Empty Bottle (エンプティボトル) is used to absorb the Helix Gas from the victim, causing the Tank to swell and gain a black spiderweb pattern and a Transgel Solid inside (often colored after the Wrecker, not the Base Tank it will become), becoming a Dark Tank. Through Vernage's power inside of Misora Isurugi's bracelet and a modified microwave machine in nascita's basement made by Seth, the harmful properties are purified, leading to the creation of a Base Tank which can then be used by DNA. Seth's machine isn't needed for the process, but it reduces the side effects that Misora suffers from a full week of unconsciousness to only a few hours of exhaustion.

Before undergoing the purification process, the contents of a Smash Bottle can be poured back upon the victim, transforming them back into a Smash. However, if one uses a Smash Bottle with a lethal amount of unpurified Nebula Gas inside it, they will disintegrate and die.

The power of a Rider may also be absorbed in order to create Fullbottles. Fullbottles made in this way allow Build to take the form of the Rider whose power was absorbed. In addition, the Rider whose power was taken will be rendered unable to transform. If the Rider wishes to take their power back, they must shake the Fullbottle(s), releasing the powers and contents and sending it back to them.

Another Build is able to use Empty Bottles to absorb people and turn them into essence.

Functionality
Kamen Rider Build transforms by inserting two Fullbottles into the Build Driver and turning the lever. Biotic-type Fullbottles (有機物系のフルボトル) are inserted into the right-hand slot, and form Halfbodies that affect the left side of Build's head, his right arm, and his left leg. Abiotic-type Fullbottles (無機物系のフルボトル) are inserted into the left-hand slot, and form Halfbodies that affect the right side of Build's head, his left arm, and his right leg. Any pair of biotic and abiotic Fullbottles can be used to create a Trial Form (トライアルフォーム), but each Fullbottle has a Best Match (ベストマッチ) with another Fullbottle, creating a perfect combination of powers that synergizes well. If they are used together, they create an especially powerful Best Match form.

Each Fullbottle has at least one Best Match with another specific Fullbottle, though individual Fullbottles can have multiple Best Matches depending on which Fullbottle is used.

Kamen Rider Cross-Z uses only the Dragon Fullbottle to transform, by inserting it into an adapter called the Cross-Z Dragon, and inserting it into the Build Driver.

Night Rogue and Blood Stalk use the Bat and Cobra Fullbottles respectively to transform by inserting them into the Transteam Gun.

Fullbottles may be inserted into certain weapons such as the Drill Crusher or Beat Closer to activate special finisher attacks. The Lion Fullbottle is used to turn the Build Phone from phone to bike mode.

Fullbottles can also be utilized to give their users (in civilian form) temporary superhuman abilities by shaking them (example: the Rabbit Fullbottle gives Sento temporary super speed and agility to evade attacks; the Dragon Fullbottle gives Ryuga powerful, fiery punches; etc.). Seemingly, the more a Fullbottle is used by someone without transforming, the more they synchronize with it.

Design
A regular Fullbottle consists of the following parts:
 * Shielding Cap (シールディングキャップ) - The cap on top of the Fullbottle. It is a protective valve that prevents the Transgel Solid inside the Fullbottle from leaking out. This is also why the label on the cap must be turned to face forward during transformation.
 * Material Absorber (マテリアルアブゾーバー) - The component on top of the Fullbottle on which the Shielding Cap is located. It is responsible for absorbing Nebula Gas from the Smash and putting it inside the Fullbottle. Additionally, when Build transforms, the Material Absorber is responsible for retrieving and assembling/disassembling Build's equipment.
 * Transgel Solid (トランジェルソリッド) - The liquid inside the Fullbottle. The liquid activates by stimulus, such as shaking, and when activated, forms Build's suit and armor.
 * Clear Mold Bottle (クリアモールドボトル) - The exterior of the Fullbottle, holding the Transgel Solid within. The Bottle is molded with a high strength, lightweight material, and the image cast on it shows the hidden ability inside the Fullbottle.
