The Holy Saber Stone is the transformation device and personal Holy Saber of Kamen Rider Genbun.
In episode 8, Saber temporary wielded the Holy Saber Stone when its user was turned to stone. Saber later returned it. Much later, it was stolen by Mistia and given to Tale Master to use. It was later taken back by its user after Lance thwarted Tale Master's plan.
Design[]
The Holy Saber Stone is composed of the following parts:
- Stone Handle: The handle. It functions as a heart pillar that penetrates through and supports the interior of the Holy Saber Stone's armor, which already boasts tremendous defense power. Due to this, an anti-vibration characteristic is added, further raising the durability of the entire sword, increasing the attack hit rate. The bottom is decorated with Genbun's emblem.
- Stone Trigger: The trigger. When triggered, the Holy Saber Stone reads its user's intentions and initializes Rider Finishers, generating earth-shattering power.
- Stone Shelf: The area of the Holy Saber Stone where a Ride Book is placed in. In addition to drawing power from the Ride Book and transmitting it to the Holy Saber, it also brings various abilities to the "Stone Robe" (Genbun's bodysuit).
- Quake Edge: The amber-colored blade section. It has been sharpened by holy sand over several years, and the blade has the ability to increase its sharpness when it hits harder targets; the harder the target, the sharper it becomes.
- Stone Channeler: The blade's dark grey base/structure. It is a blade that can carry wisdom. By pressing a Ride Book against the Sacreader, the Holy Saber Stone can embody and hold its contained lore for attacks. Additionally, the blade's armor, which boasts absolutely high defensive power formed by metamorphism due to extremely high pressures, and structure, which is designed to disperse external force, enables the user to wield the large Holy Saber Stone.
- Sacreader: The reading device located atop the Stone Shelf. By pressing the special speed-reading metal fitting Taleader located on the back cover of a Ride Book against it, the Holy Saber Stone can read the book's lore. As a result, it becomes possible to temporarily hold all the power of the Ride Book's lore in the Holy Saber for finishing attacks. Additionally, attack power can be stacked when a Ride Book is pressed against it several times.
Functionality[]
Transformation[]
To transform, the user plugs a Ride Book into the slot on the side of the sword, thus making the user appears in a library surrounded by rocks. The user then pull the trigger, summoning a rock formation that took resemblance of a turtle shell before performing a downward vertical slash to crush the rocks. The rocks in questions later manifest as both the armor and visor, thus completing the transformation. By removing the inserted book and repeating the process with a different one, Buster can enhance his armor without cancelling his transformation.
Finisher[]
- Main article: Finisher (Saber)
To activate a finisher, the user scans another book in the secondary slot located above the transformation slot before pulling the trigger. The scanning can be done up to three times.
- Great Quake: When Genbun scans one book three times, Genbun can execute a rider slash based on the book.
Surrounding rocks gather onto the Holy Saber Stone, massively enlarging the sword and generating energy on the blade part allowing Genbun to perform an enhanced downward / horizontal slash.
A large quill forms around the Holy Saber Stone, massively enlarging the sword and generating electricity on the blade part allowing Genbun to perform an enhanced blade thrust.
- Great Stalk Quake: Genbun summons a beanstalk to stop an attack, and launches himself as he slashes the enemy in one cut.
- Stem Great Quake: Green energy surrounds the Holy Saber Stone before it is transformed into a large beanstalk, which Genbun swings into the ground, crushing any enemies underneath it. Smaller vines then grow out of the main stalk and attack any surrounding enemies.
- Bremen no Rock Band: Genbun delivers a downward slash with colorful musical notes.
