"Checkmate!"
―Goro's catchphrase when defeating and/or outsmarting an enemy.[src]

""It's lights out and away we go!" (今、消灯走れ! Ima, shōtō hashire!?)"
―Kamen Rider Zeus's catchphrase[src]

Goro Izumi (泉 五郎 Izumi Gorō?) is the main protagonist and anti-hero of Metroid: Kamen Rider Generations Vol. 3: Fates Intertwined and a recurring character in Kamen Rider Revice EXTRA: Kamen Rider Sin. He is the 27-year old[1][2] tech businessman and inventor who transforms into Kamen Rider G7 Icarus XYZ (仮面ライダーG 7イカルスXYZ Kamen Raidā Jī Sebun Ikarusu Ekkusu Uai Zetto?), who would later be renamed as Kamen Rider Icarus (仮面ライダーイカルス Kamen Raidā Ikarusu?). Goro is also a former a street racer, and currently a race car driver who gains notoriety for his aggressive driving style earning the nickname as the "Speed Demon" (速魔迅 Sokumajin?). After marrying Taki and raising their daughter, Goro would briefly observe the threat of Giff and joins the Igarashi family and their allies to fight the demon. In collaboration with the Mercedes Formula 1 team, Goro would develop a new Rider system, and by using the Mercedes-AMG One as the basis, Goro transforms into Kamen Rider Zeus (仮面ライダーゼウス Kamen Raidā Zeusu?) to combat Giff, and later Kamen Rider Juuga. After Giff is vanquished and having won a one-time event against several racers from all over the world, Goro continued on his racing career in hopes of becoming the number one racing driver in the world.

Character History[]

Past[]

Goro was born sometime in 1990 as the only child of Toshihiro Izumi and Honoka Izumi, the latter being the founder of ZETA Technology Industries. Unbeknownst to Goro, he is actually the second-born child, making him the younger brother to the missing Anzu Izumi. According to his father's video diary, they covered up Anzu's disappearance from him since he was too young to find out the truth at that time until his coming of age. The Memory Remains Ten years later, he and his parents were hit by a truck while driving in the midst of the pitch-black night. During the incident, he was saved by a mysterious individual who whispered to him to "live on" and promises to protect him. Goro miraculously survived the accident, but he sustained a massive scar in his abdomen. Unfortunately, his parents died two days after.

He was later taken in and raised by his grandfather Takagi Izumi, while his future mentor Natsuki Nakajima, a close friend of the Izumi family, temporarily took over ZETA Technology until Goro's coming of age. However, his grandfather's untimely passing, Nakajima took him in, becoming his legal guardian and mother figure while at the same time being introduced to Han Seong-yeun, a Tang Soo Do master. As a teenager, Goro is a target of bullying, which always ends with his tormentors badly beaten since he was trained with Tang Soo Do, but consequently getting into trouble. While training under Han, Goro would eventually bond with his master and is intrigued by Han's past as a street racer. At one point, Han takes a teenage Goro for a drive with his Toyota AE86. Han's tendency to drive excessively fast scared the latter at first (due to the trauma he had from the car accident that killed his parents), but soon overcame his fear and trauma -- of which inspired him to pursue a career as a race car driver in the future. At some point in his adult life, Goro learns his master had a terminal illness; and Han is currently living under borrowed time. At 18-years old, Goro obtained his driver's license and went on on to participate in sanctioned street racing events. He has fought several racing crews across Shouya City and also have gained notoriety playing cat-and-mouse with the police and not getting caught, because of his elusive nature as a driver, he gains his nickname as the "Speed Demon", while also driving the BMW M3 GTR. Revice Black Wings: Kamen Rider Icarus

At the age of 21, Goro graduated with a master's degree in Computer Science in Tohoku University. He immediately worked in ZETA Technology Industries as a tech intern while living a double life as a street racer, under the guidance of his mentor Natsuki Nakajima. Goro's level of intellect along with his talents for gadgetry leads to him be promoted to higher ranks, and ultimately as the CEO at the age of 25, carrying on the legacy of his father at the cost of leaving behind his racing aspirations. After learning of Han's passing, Goro reads a letter written by his master before dying, saying that he is truly proud of his accomplishments and being his master and reminding his apprentice that use everything what he learned to inspire people to push their limits and overcome fear and weakness. Shortly thereafter, Goro would find Han's AE86 and drive it around in honor of his memory. The car would be stored in his personal garage along with a few collection of cars.

Events of Go-Onger 10 Years Prelude[]

Events of Taki Gaiden: The Kunoichi Who Leapt Through Time[]

Interim Years[]

At some point after marrying Taki, she ends up pregnant with their daughter Fubuki. After Taki gave birth to her first child with Goro, Taki would entrust Goro into taking care of their daughter while she went on to assist the Sword of Logos Riders battles against the Megid and Isaac. While assisting on an experiment with Sento, a freak accident caused Goro to age into an old man. The fallout of the incident forced Goro to isolate himself from everyone around him out of shame until Taki returns. Towards the end of Kenzan Gaiden, Goro is reverted back to his youthful self through unknown means.

Goro would step down from his position as CEO of I3 Tech, passing down his seat to his mother-figure and former mentor Nakajima as he moves on to rekindle his ambitons as a racing driver.

Events of Kamen Rider Revice EXTRA: Kamen Rider Sin[]

Personality[]

"That guy can be sometimes naive and soft for his own good. But, ever since the whole war over the Pandora Box and at the same time Evolto was pulling the strings. The you after your memories were lost has the conviction and resolve to do whatever it takes to protect those around him. He trusted his friends and has faith in them above all else. Are you also feeling the same way deep in your heart?"
―Goro bringing up to Takumi Katsuragi about his "other self" when he lost his memories.[src]

"If you want to make the world a better place, you should be willing to get your hands dirty even if you do not like the end result of your actions. The need for extreme measures comes when everything else fails."
―Goro to Go Tamaki about his reason for fighting.[src]

"I care not of mankind's follies for so long as they change and atone for their sins and continue to reject Giff and your cliche ideology! Remember this one thing when one of us will perish: the winner must live on carrying the malice of the defeated!"
"You conceited fool! What will you achieve by killing me and Lord Giff?! You cannot rob the world of its chance of peace."
"Even so, this is why Kamen Riders exist in the first place! This is a destiny that we continue to shoulder forever... Until the day the world finally achieves the true peace and freedom it deserves!
"
―Goro to Hideo Akaishi in their fight to the death.[src]

Goro is a gentlemanly, charming, yet capricious and hard-working man who values hard work, perfection, and perseverance above all else, being a CEO of a multinational company, he proves to be a stubborn workaholic and is well-respected authority figure of ZETA Technology Industries. He is quite arrogant, brash, ego-centric, and self-absorbed considering his reputation and good publicity. On the surface, he sounds calm and collected. His aloof and stoic demeanor serves as an exterior to his true personality: Goro is loud, tenacious and hot-blooded, which serves as a contrast to the emotionless and quiet Taki. Also, he is also a prodigy since his teenage years establishing many accomplishments in his life with his superhumanly genius-level intellect, and eventually becoming the self-made man that he is now. 

Goro is also not without a dark and troubled side. Having lost his parents to a car accident which left him miraculously survived, Goro grew up in a life of loneliness; becoming antisocial and insecure of himself, preferring to be isolated under his mansion's workshop. Also, Goro had a belligerent streak in his adolesence, he is quick to preemptively strike anyone when provoked, because of him being constantly bullied during high school. Despite all his accomplishments, Goro is desperate in looking for a purpose in his life besides being a hard-working corporate boss. In contrast to the Space Explorers, Goro is very cold, sardonic, taciturn, and pragmatic, he is more willing make decisions that are morally questionable even if by means necessary and is very aware of the consequences of his actions. Unlike most anti-heroic Riders, Goro can be anti-social and unpleasant if he wants to, occasionally showcasing a mean and sadistic streak, preferring to rush things and deal with complicated situations, which causes problems for the other characters.

After learning his father's secret about his older sister, Goro seems to be both saddened and disappointed by his father's actions at the same time due to the fact that he is unaware of Anzu's disappearance before his birth. It is likely that his parents want to pressure him on being made an heir to his father's company above all else. Regardless of that, it was revealed the reason his father had to keep a secret from him, is for Goro to find Anzu in his coming of age. After reuniting with his sister, Goro is determined to do whatever he can to make up for the 27 years she missed, even though that their parents are long gone. Nevertheless, Goro cares for his older sister's well-being and is more mature towards her in comparison.

After learning his sister's motives in taking revenge against Faust, Goro is against her agenda due to the fact that her actions will not only bring harm to those she cares (including Goro himself), but also to innocent lives. This is because he believes that revenge is a pointless concept, and a product of endangering innocent people.

Despite his superficial pride, bravado, and flaws, Goro deeply cares for other people and is willing to help them in need. This is likely after meeting notable people like Taki, a kunoichi from the past who ends up settling into his home along with her student and Sento Kiryu, a scientist from Touto whose level of intellect rivals his to the point they develop an odd friendship. Eventually, that goal in life he was seeking after was actually protecting humanity. Unlike Sento, Goro's motivating force is his Ubermensch mindset, he is willing to disregard common moral boundaries, while upholding his own, to supplant his end goals. Goro uses this philosophy to oppose Hideo Akaishi's plans to halt human evolution, going so far to adopt a God complex as the threat of Giff becoming increasingly rampant.

After finding out Sento's past identity as Takumi Katsuragi, who is responsible for experimenting on his sister, his friendship with Sento is strained to the point Goro attempts to kill him in revenge for his sister. However, Anzu stops him from doing so. Because if he did kill Sento, Goro would have become as vengeful as his sister. He reconciles with Sento in a begrudging way out of respect as he knows that a Kamen Rider has a responsibility to protect people, regardless of how he got his powers. Unfortunately, when the war for Pandora Box break out, he is left with no choice to betray Sento, although it was actually a facade. This is later justified once Goro becomes weary of the Hazard Trigger, Goro steeled himself to stop Sento in the event the latter going rogue.

By the time the war between for the Pandora Box immediately break out, Goro is determined to stop the war by all means necessary. Even if it means for him to get his hands dirty; he plays on both sides of the conflict and willingly fractured his friendship with Sento as a means to do so. He has no qualms disobeying Kazumi Sawatari's orders, butting heads with him or any of the Hokuto Sanbagarasu, or even manipulating the trio's stupidity by extension to further his plans. Despite being at odds against Kazumi, Goro seems to have genuine respect towards him, Both Kazumi and his men reciprocated that same respect in return, to the point that the Hokuto Three Crows convinced him to be turned into Hazard Smashes, despite his warnings knowing that they might die upon defeat, thus left without a choice after Akaba told everything he and his comrades went through before they were drafted to Hokuto's military.

Since reappearing in Kamen Rider Revice EXTRA: Kamen Rider Sin, Goro has become more or less matured after the last five years in his life as a father and husband at the same time is okay with Taki continuing her mission on destroying Soul Edge in the past. And because of his growing career as a race car driver, his is given the moniker "Speed Demon" for his fame. Despite his reputation, Goro's still takes pride of his genius and racing career while keeping his ego in check. When he enters in the lives of the Igarashi siblings, Goro became a mentor of sorts to the two of the youngest -- Daiji and Sakura. Additionally, Goro appears to be tolerable of Vice's antics whereas his inner demon Asuramaru does not. He appears to show signs of compassion to other villains, namely Aguilera and Julio, he would go so far to offer the latter a job and even protecting Aguilera from Masayuki Terumi, who has constantly stalked her out of his perverted obsession.


Goro has a couple of catchphrases:

  • As Kamen Rider G7 Icarus XYZ, before a battle he says, "You are marked for judgment!" (貴様はジャッジメントの目印! Kisama wa jajjimento no mejirushi!?).
  • As New G7 Icarus, and G7 Icarus XYZ Archangel Kerberos and EX Strike Armor, he says "Go faster beyond fate!" (運命を超えてに速く進むぜ! Unmei o koete ni hayaku susumu ze!?).
  • In Jet Phoenix Armor, he says "I have no limits!" (俺の限界いわない! Ore no genkai iwanai!?) before going to battle. This is shared with Taki when she transforms into TakiBeyond.
  • However, before transforming, both he and Taki will proclaim altogether, "We fight as one!" (見せてやるぜ俺達の絆! Misete yaru ze oretachi no kizuna!?). And before transforming into EX-Strike Armor, he also says  "It's time to soar beyond fate!" (運命を通してに覚悟を飛ばせ! Unmei o tōshite ni kakugo o tobase!?)
  • As Icarus Grandprix, he proclaims "Death is waiting for you on the finish line!" (フィニシュラインわ、お前の死が待っているよ! Finishu rain wa, omae no shi ga matte iru yo!?) before executing his finisher. Also, he has a paraphrased version of Sento's catchphrase, "Now, shall we start the race?" (さあて、レースの始めよ! Sāte, rēsu no hajimeyo!?)
  • As Kamen Rider Zeus, he proclaims "It's lights out and away we go!" (今、消灯走れ! Ima, shōtō hashire!?) before entering a battle.
  • After defeating an enemy, he usually says "Checkmate!" (チェックメイト! Chekkumeito!?) as if he treated a battle like a game of chess.

Goro is one of the few characters in the story to use coarse language and showcased crude and offensive behavior to his enemies, despite his gentlemanly demeanor. He is also shown to be foul-mouthed and swearing repeatedly when angered. He often says "teme" (てめえ?) at his enemies instead of the formal and haughty "kisama" (貴様?). The same can be said with his older sister.

Powers And Abilities[]

Current[]

  • Genius-Level Intellect: Goro's defining trait is his formidable intelligence, rivaling that of Sento Kiryu and Kuroto Dan. As a child prodigy, he is recognized for inventions that is known to ZETA Tech. Similarly, Goro has built the majority, if not all, of the G7 System's arsenals on his own.
    • Master Scientist: In the same caliber as Sento, Goro is a exceptionally well-versed scientist and an eclectic polymath genius.
    • Master Engineer: A prodigal engineer and technician, Goro has built the majority, if not all, of the G7 System's arsenals on his own. Ever since being introduced with the Build Driver, he is able to invent his own equipment and even create replicas of Build's weapons for his own personal use. He is also able to create the Lightbringer Driver through reverse-engineering the Revice Driver, using Ikki Igarashi's driver as the template.
  • Expert Car Tuning Specialist: As Goro is a car enthusiast, he excels at modifying cars for the purpose of competition or exhibition.
  • Genius-Level Strategist: Paired with his intelligence is his ability to formulate plans of any kind; be it convoluted or precisely adjustable methods.
  • Hazard Level 100: After gaining access to Archangel Armor, Goro is injected by Anzu's internal Nebula Gas through the Arc-Winger, starting with a Hazard Level of 50. At this point he gains superhuman abilities much like her sister did during the time she was experimented by Faust. Goro can now transform with the Build Driver (and later, Sclash Driver) without any restrictions, while he remains unaffected by anti-Nebula Gas system of his suit. After gaining access into Jet Phoenix Armor, his Hazard Level has reached at its maximum limit: 100, a level that can't be normally unattainable by any conventional means.
  • Mecha Piloting Skills: Goro is also skilled at piloting mecha/giant robots. Including the VNZ-2000 GOLEM and Taki's Time Mazine.
  • Expert Driver: Befitting his enthusiasm for cars, Goro is also an exceptionally skilled driver, being able to drive all three types of cars, namely tuners, exotics, and muscle cars. In Kamen Rider Revice EXTRA: Kamen Rider Sin, he also participates in professional motorsport racing circuits across the country. Despite his skills, Goro also has a tendency to drive aggressively and sometimes pushing his cars beyond their limits, which often times lands him in dangerous and haphazardly life-threatening situations but managed to come out unharmed a few times.
  • Expert Manipulator: Goro is very charming, persuasive and a capable manipulator, also having the ability to understand how people would behave and subsequently exploiting people around him to do his bidding.
  • Expert Deceiver: Related to the above, Goro is a master actor, being able to convince the villains he aligned himself with as a trustworthy ally at the same time being able to play both sides. By going undercover as an associate with the Deadmans, Goro secretly instigates a gang war between the Deadmans and the Yakuza.
  • Expert Martial Artist: Goro is trained with the art of Tengokuryuken-style of Tang Soo Do in his childhood by a South Korean martial arts teacher who is a close acquaintance to the Izumi family. Later in his adult life, Goro would go on to learn other fighting styles to improve his skills. He has also trained prominent figures in motorsports; such as Mercedes F1 team principal Toto Wolff, who learned kickboxing from him.
  • Quickdraw Proficiency: The greatest feat to Goro's fighting style is his ability to take out his sidearm in a split-second. This ability is also inherited by his older sister.
  • Fullbottle Augmentation:By using a Fullbottle in his hand without transforming, Goro can gain abilities on said Fullbottle's traits. It is also possible for him to use two Fullbottles in conjunction, something that none of his fellow Riders have never done before.
    • Jet Phoenix: Goro can revive a deceased person by injecting the Fullbottle's essence into their corpse. This is one of the few abilities that fits the phoenix motif where the normal Phoenix Fullbottle could not.
    • Crow: Allows Goro to gain fast reflexes, even more faster than Sento's usage of the Rabbit Fullbottle. In addition, it allows Goro to parry strikes at lightning fast speed. First used in his sparring with Ryuga Banjo.
    • Light: Allows Goro to perform electrified punches. First used in his sparring with Ryuga Banjo in tandem with the Crow Fullbottle.
  • Hazard Level Ability Restriction: One of the functions of Archangel Armor. Goro can seal certain abilities of a Smash, Build Driver, and/or Transteam Gun user when donning the armor.
    • Hazard Level Reduction: Goro can use Archangel Armor's ability to permanently de-power anyone with a high Hazard Level upon contact by neutralizing the effects of Nebula Gas of the target's body, reducing their Hazard Levels to 0. It also applies when G7 Icarus XYZ inflicts melee damage against a Smash or anyone using a Build Driver, Sclash Driver or Transteam Gun, etc., the target's Hazard Level is permanently reduced.
    • Transteam System Nullification: According to Anzu Izumi, the Archangel Armor is designed to disable the Transteam System. This is paired with the armor's ability to decrease the opponent's Hazard Level upon contact, rendering the usage of the Transteam Gun useless. This was demonstrated in G7 Icarus XYZ's fight against Blood Stalk, as each time Stalk takes damage, it not only degraded his Hazard Level, it also leaves Soichi unable to use the Transteam Gun after his Hazard Level is reduced to 0. One More Light
  • Rider System Reverse Engineering: Due to his affinity for gadgetry and technology, Goro is impeccably capable of reverse engineering Takumi Katsuragi's creations such as the Build Driver and Sclash Driver. A feat that would be overshadowed by Nariaki Utsumi. As such being able to construct backups of his Build Driver, as well as Sclash Drivers for Grease and G7 Type-S in the event of their belts being destroyed. This explains how Goro created his own Sclash Driver by reverse engineering Sawatari's own Driver by disassembling its components before putting them back together properly.
  • Indomitable Will: Goro's defining trait is his unyielding determination. On the surface, he appears to be mild-mannered, charismatic, and professional, but it only served as a front to his passionate and hot-blooded personality. He is also shown to survive near-death experiences such as falling into the Earth at an atmospheric entry after his fight against Shingetsu-Orochi.
  • Medium Awareness: To a degree, Goro has the ability to interact with the viewers of the story, much like Sento in the canon of his series.
  • Time Alteration Memory Erasure Immunity: Goro is one of the four Riders (the others being Samus, Anzu, and Reiji) whose powers already contained in the Ridewatches in Taki's possession to having retained his memories of his days as a Kamen Rider.
  • Knowledge of Showa Kamen Riders: Goro is one of the few people to possess vast knowledge of the Showa Riders. This is presumably thanks to his use of the Legend Bracer during the events of Engine Sentai Go-Onger: 10 YEARS PRELUDE feat. Kamen Rider BuildIcon-crosswiki.
  • Supernatural Perception: According to Anzu Izumi, both her and Goro possess heightened awareness/sensitivity to the paranormal, namely to see beings, such as spirits, ghosts, angels, and demons, that are normally invisible to humans, as this was a trait carried on from her parents' ancestors. In Goro's case, this allows him to see Vice and Lovekov, who are only visible to their respective hosts.
  • Multilingualism: Goro speaks his native Japanese, as well demonstrating fluency in other languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Dutch (used in his first meeting with Max Verstappen), and Spanish.
  • Devil's Luck: Goro is unknowingly gifted with extraordinary luck which provides unexpected benefits to himself and to his allies. This luck is so great he narrowly avoided death numerous times from the car crash that killed his parents to mishaps in his race car driving career. It was only four years later after he marries Taki that he realized that he is in fact the luckiest man in the world not only he won the affection of the demon huntress, but also having cheated death countless of times.
  • Dragon/Demon Hybrid Physiology: After injecting himself with Grancaesar's dragon DNA and a sample of Giff's DNA absorbed from Vail using the Grandprix Fullbottle, Goro gains the following abilities:
    • Deadly Sin Empowerment: What makes Goro stand out than any of the Revice Riders and other demons is the seven deadly sins he embodies gives him these associated powers:
    • Pride (Time Manipulation): Goro is capable of stopping and/or slow down the flow of time even as Icarus Grandprix using the Trans-Am Unit. He can instantly stop time, speed up his own personal timeframe giving the appearance of superhuman speed, and turn the flow of time backwards at will depending on the situation, through predicting his opponent's next moves.
    • Lust (Enhanced Durability): Goro is able to withstand even the most powerful attacks from Giff.
    • Sloth (Clairvoyance):


Weaknesses[]

  • Asuramaru: Like Vice and Kagero, Goro will die if Asuramaru is destroyed. Unlike them, Goro's lifespan is bound to Asuramaru's backup data that allows him to cheat death when the situation demands, but Asuramaru can only carry a finite amount of backups as if all 99 backups are used, Goro's 100th death becomes permanent.
  • Trans-Am Unit: Despite the immense power the Trans-Am Unit granted to its user, overusing it can cause the device to malfunction and displaces the user into another timeline.

Armors[]

Strike Armor (ストライクアーマー Sutoraiku Amā?) is G7 Icarus's prototype trial based wingsuit form, which is accessed through the Striker G7 Armor Key. Being a prototype trial of the mass produced versions of the G7 Battle Armors, it is identical aesthetically, but the major difference is its helmet, which omitted the beetle horn in exchange for wing-like ornaments.

Much like the G3 suits from Kamen Rider Agito, all G7 armors have an AI fitted in the suits operating system; only an operator with a clear consciousness can operate it without being physically taxing on the body. However, the prototype is shown to be highly taxing due to it can take a toll into the user's body.

Strike Armor's insert theme is entitled "Appassionato", which also doubles as the insert theme for its Build Driver upgraded conversion.



In contrast to Build due to having variety of Best Matches as forms, the G7 Icarus XYZ system lacks the ability to use Build's Best Matches, and the G7 System has only two available accessible Best Match exclusively to this Rider System.

StealthCrow Armor
G7 Icarus XYZ StealthCrow Armor

StealthCrow Armor

"Crow! Stealth! Best Match! Are you Ready? (Suspenseful music) Tengoku no Black Wings! StealthCrow! Yeahhh!"
―StealthCrow Armor's transformation announcement[src]

StealthCrow Armor (ステルスクロウアーマー Suterusu Kurou Amā?) is G7 Icarus XYZ's Best Match upgraded form of his prototype Strike Armor. Accessed through the Crow and Stealth Fullbottles, hence known as the Heavenly Black Wings (天国のブラックウィングス Tengoku no Burakku Uingusu?). It is themed after a crow and stealth fighter.

As expected for the evolution of G7 Icarus into G7 Icarus XYZ, his stats are given an exponential boost. What separates from this form from the prototype is that G7 Icarus XYZ can fly with the use of a mechanical bird called Shadow Winger that acts as a wingpack, and thus without the need to spread his arms sidewards to fly like the original G7 Icarus.

This form carries three sets of weapons; G7 Sky Buster, Neo Artemis, and Yoshiyuki Shin both are upgraded versions of their prototype counterparts.

As a Best Match, this form has five finishers:

  • Build Driver finisher:
    • Vortex Finish (ボルテックフィニッシュ Borutekku Finisshu?):
      • Rider Kick: G7 Icarus XYZ strikes his target with an energized, front roundhouse kick. While in action, a holographic protractor appears beneath G7 Icarus XYZ's feet along with a geometric compass behind him, the compass’s adjusting nut moves in a synchronized manner with his legs upon kicking the opponent. Similar to Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer, the finisher takes effect after a few seconds.
      • Space-Time Shattering Burst Spinning Punch (時空烈断バーストスピニングパンチ Jikū Retsudan Bāsuto Supiningu Panchi?): By channeling the energy of the Stealth and Crow Full Bottles, G7 Icarus XYZ slugs the enemy with a powerful punch. The finisher takes effects after a few seconds and takes form of a double-helix shaped cyclone that sends the target skywards. This can be executed as a double-team move with Taki.
      • Byakko Cutter (白虎カッター Byakko Kattā?, "White Tiger Cutter"): While wielding the Silver Fang, G7 Icarus XYZ performs a powerful slash by unleashing an energy construct that takes form of a white tiger's head on the enemy.
      • Pythagorean Theorem Reversal (三平方の定理返し Sanheihō no Teiri-gaeshi?): G7 Icarus XYZ hits the target with three energy slashes in a triangle formation with the Yoshiyuki Shin. Or in this case, a right angled triangle, then fires it to the target to paralyze them, allowing him for a fourth slash to finish them off. The finisher takes effect after G7 Icarus XYZ re-sheathes the Yoshiyuki Shin.
  • G7 Sky Buster finisher:
    • Vortex Burst (ボルテックバースト Borutekku Bāsuto?): G7 Icarus XYZ channels the energy of two Fullbottles in his Sky Buster and performs a powerful blast taking form of a double-helix beam.
      • Kurage & Bakudan: G7 Icarus XYZ shoots a purple and black energy blast at the enemy that not only poisons them, it causes the target's body to inflate like a balloon and explode.
      • Spider & Reizoko: G7 Icarus XYZ shoots a white and sky blue energy blast at the enemy and the shot takes form of an icy spider-web that instantly freezes the target solid upon contact.
      • Ambulance: G7 Icarus XYZ shoots himself instead of the target to quickly heal himself. However, the healing process causes him to experience excruciating pain.
  • Yoshiyuki Shin finisher:
    • Vortex Cutter (ボルテックカッター Borutekku Kattā?): G7 Icarus XYZ channels the energy of a Fullbottle in his Yoshiyuki Shin and performs a series of powerful slash attacks covered with electricity. This finisher takes effect after sheathing the sword back on the scabbard, just like the original Yoshiyuki. The effect depends on the Full Bottle inserted.
      • Kamakiri: G7 Icarus XYZ skewers the enemy into shreds.
      • Reizoko: G7 Icarus XYZ stabs the sword on the ground, releasing a shock wave made of spiked ice.
      • Crow: G7 Icarus XYZ performs a violet energy slash.
  • Neo Artemis finisher:
    • Vortex Charge (ボルテックチャージ Borutekku Chāji?): G7 Icarus XYZ channels the energy of a Fullbottle in his Neo Artemis and delivers a powerful shot at the enemy. This finisher takes effect after cycling the rifle's bolt. The effect depends on the Full Bottle inserted.
      • Scope: G7 Icarus XYZ delivers a powerful blast at the enemy.
      • Bakudan: G7 Icarus XYZ delivers a powerful blast at the enemy. The affected part where the target is shot will inflate like a balloon and explode.
  • Nova Bracer Finisher
    • Seiryuu Upper (青竜アッパー Seiryū Appā?, "Azure Dragon Upper"): By turning the throttle grip of the Nova Bracer three times, G7 Icarus XYZ uppercuts the enemy with extreme force, complete with his fist being cloaked with an energy shaped like a dragon's head.
    • Speed Time + Vortex Cutter: When Speed Time is in effect and the Boost Timer is set, G7 Icarus XYZ performs a multiple series of multiple slashes covered with blue-colored energy with lightning bolt streaks with the Yoshiyuki Shin. The finisher takes effect after the Boost Timer runs out.

This form's theme is entitled Destiny's Prelude.

Archangel Armor (アーチエンジェルアーマー Āchienjeru Amā?) is G7 Icarus XYZ's super mode. Accessed by loading the Archangel Fullbottle into the Arc-Winger and slotting it into the Build Driver similar to the function of Cross-Z Dragon. It is themed after an angel.

In this form, G7 Icarus XYZ's stats skyrockets beyond that of the individual abilities of StealthCrow and PteraDrill Armors, Build's RabbitTank Sparkling, Cross-Z, and even Night Rogue and Blood Stalk's. In addition, while in this form, G7 Icarus XYZ's familiar, Shadow Winger also evolves into Seraphi-Shadow Winger, replacing its robotic wings with four beautiful angelic wings.

In this form, G7 Icarus XYZ's armor and helmet are reinforced with:

  • Stare of Michael (マイケルの凝視 Maikeru no Gyōshi?): These eyes-like pattern are present in every part of the Archangel Armor from the arms, breastplate, shin-guards and foot armor. These enforce the armor's ability to neutralize the Nebula Gas of the opponent upon contact.
  • Raphael Goggles (ラファエルゴーグル Rafaeru Gōguru?): The X-shaped visor that gives the user access to night vision and thermal vision to navigate in pitch-black darkness. It also doubles as a boomerang weapon.
  • Uriel Horn (ウリエルホーン Urieru Hōn?): A device installed in the helmet's horn. It serves as the jammer to the Transteam Gun's operating system, paired with the Stare of Michael's anti-Nebula Gas abilities, it seals all of the Transteam Gun's abilities.
  • Gabriel Tector (ガブリエルテクター Gaburieru Tekutā?): The face-like breastplate of the armor. It houses the Barachiel Visor.
  • Barachiel Visor (バラチエルバイザー Barachieru Baizā?): The visor-like protector for the Gabriel Tector. Much like the Raphael Goggles, it also doubles as a boomerang weapon.
  • Seraphiel Legs (セラフィールレッグ Serafīru Reggu?): The leg armor. It boosts the momentum of G7 Icarus XYZ's jump.
  • Raguel Sandals (ラーゲルサンダル Rāgeru Sandaru?): The foot armor. It allows G7 Icarus XYZ to float in midair without Seraphi-Shadow Winger's assistance.

Archangel Armor's defining ability is to de-power anyone with a higher Hazard Level, as this armor was designed by Anzu to negate the functions of the Transteam system while staying true to the G7's anti-Nebula Gas system. This was best shown in Goro's fight against Blood Stalk, as each time G7 Icarus XYZ damages Soichi in Blood Stalk's suit, his Hazard Level starts to deteriorate from above Hazard Level 3+ to being reduced to 2.5. The second time G7 Icarus XYZ fights Stalk, Goro permanently de-powers Soichi of his Hazard Level to the point the latter being unable to use the Transteam Gun.

G7 Icarus XYZ's weapon in this form is the XGMWR-05 Requiem, a modular multi-weapon rack unit that utilizes three sets of weapon attachments - a pulse laser rifle, chainsaw, and spear.

When Goro first accessed this form, prior to transforming, he was painfully injected with Anzu's internal Nebula Gas in which she used as the power source for Arc-Winger. As a result, he gains a Hazard Level that surpasses that Build, Cross-Z, Night Rogue, and Blood Stalk. However, he was able to overcome the effects of the Nebula Gas, thus granting him a Hazard Level of 50. This is due to the fact that Goro is experienced with the G7 armor's operating system along with the suit being equipped with anti-Nebula Gas filtration nodes.

This form has two finishers:

  • Build Driver finisher:
    • Ragna Finish (ラグナフィニッシュ Raguna Finisshu?): G7 Icarus XYZ jumps into the air, with Seraphi-Shadow Winger attaching into his back. Then, he dives down to the foe and performs a series of kicks before finishing the opponent with a knee strike into the head.
  • XGMWR-05 Requiem finishers:
    • XGMWR-05+XAR-06 Warhammer:
      • Fuma Bakuryuhou (風魔爆竜砲 Fūma Bakuryū-hō?, lit., "Wind Demon Exploding Dragon Cannon"):
    • XGMWR-05+XAS-07 Kagekiri:
      • Friday the Thirteenth (フライデーザサーティーン Furaidē Za Sātīn?): After inputting 2-1-7 into the Requiem and pressing Enter, G7 Icarus XYZ slashes the opponent using the Kagekiri Chainsaw attachment.
    • XGMWR-05+XAD-08 Yoroitoshi:
      • Longinus (ロンギヌス Ronginusu?): After inputting 4-8-6 into the Requiem and pressing Enter, G7 Icarus XYZ throws the Requiem Yoroitoshi with all his might at the opponent, similar to a javelin.

Archangel Kerberos (アーチエンジェルケルベロス Āchienjeru Keruberosu?, lit., "Archangel Cerberus") is G7 Icarus XYZ's hybrid super form by upgrading Archangel Armor with the Kerberos Fullbottle. It is themed after an angel and the mythical creature, Cerberus; and more particularly the Kerberos Smash.

In this form, Seraphi-Shadow Winger, and all five Cerberobot Units combine with G7 Icarus XYZ. The black Cerberobot Zero-One forms the body armor and the Garugetsu Fang (ガルゲツファング Garugetsu Fangu?) head on the chest, and lastly the Garugetsu Met (ガルゲツメット Garugetsu Metto?). The red Cerberobot Zero-Two and green Cerberobot Zero-Three form Build Lupus Arm Zero-Two (ビルドループスアームゼロツー Birudo Rūpusu Āmu Zero Tsū?) and Build Gekiretsu Arm Zero-Three (ビルド激烈アームゼロスリー Birudo Gekiretsu Āmu Zero Surī?), respectively; both of which have reinforced hydraulics allowing G7 Icarus XYZ to hold the Fullbottle Buster with one hand. Lastly, the blue Cerberobot Zero-Three and yellow Cerberobot Zero-Five form Flash Edge Tector Zero-Four (フラッシュエッジテクターゼロフォー Furasshu Ejji Tekutā Zero Fō?) and Shining Edge Tector Zero-Five (シャイニングエッジテクターゼロファイブ Shainingu Ejji Tekutā Zero Faibu?), respectively.

Jet Phoenix Armor (ジェットフェニックスアーマー Jetto Fenikkusu Āmā?) is G7 Icarus XYZ's final form, accessed by inserting the G7 Jet Visor (loaded with the Jet Phoenix Fullbottle), inserting it into the Build Driver, and turning the Vortex Lever, hence known as the Immortal Burning Wings (不滅の翼燃やす Fumetsu no Tsubasa Moyasu?). This form is comparable to Kamen Rider Double's CycloneJokerXtreme and Kamen Rider Drive's Type Tridoron. This form serves is analogous to Kamen Rider Genm's God Maximum Gamer Level 1000000000.

Of all categories of his previous forms, as well most of the other Riders - G7 Icarus XYZ has surpassed even Build and his contemporaries. Due to the Jet Phoenix Fullbottle finished with the assistance of Vernage, this is the only form where G7 Icarus XYZ can permanently destroy any of the four Pandora Demon Beasts.

In this form, G7 Icarus XYZ is armed and protected with the Flame Reviber ver.II (フレイムリヴァイバーバージョンII Fureimu Rivaibā Bājon Tsu?) gauntlets, a more superior version of the original Flame Reviber gauntlets of the Phoenix Halfbody, for pyrokinetic attacks, the ICR Jet Tector (ICRジェットテクター Ai Shi Aru Jetto Tekutā?) shoulder armor, the Rudriya Darpana Lung (ルトリヤ・ダーヴァナラング Rutoriya Dāvuana Rangu?, lit., "Terrifying Mirror Lung") chest armor that protects the ICR Soul Core (ICRソウルコア Ai Shi Aru Souru Koa?) located at the center of the form's undersuit; where Taki's consciousness is stored during fusion transformation, and lastly, the leg-mounted G7 Nekketsu Leggers (G7ネッケツレガース Jī Sebun Nekketsu Regāsu?, lit., "G7 Hot-blooded Leggers")

The Flame Reviber ver.II and the antennas of the ICR Jet Tector contain XYZ Warp Manipulators (XYZワープマニピュレータ Ekkusu Uai Zetto Wāpu Manipyurēta?), that enables G7 Icarus XYZ to open portals created from the fabric of space. This ability of creating cyberspace-like portals are alternatives as a means of gaining entry into the Pandora Tower from the central exterior of the Sky Wall.

On the back of Jet Phoenix Armor is the Brahmastra Wings (ブラマストラウイング Buramasutora Uingu?), a variation of the Empirial Wings that grant him the ability to fly. The wings also house detatchable Fin-Feathers (フィンフェザー Fin-Fezā?), G7 Icarus XYZ can either launch these Fin-Feathers at his target(s). They can defend against incoming attacks by having them fly around each other at high speeds.

Given the fact that Taki is fused both body and soul into Goro's body during transformation, the side effect of the fusion is that Taki can assume control of Goro's body when needed, as shown whenever Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru are summoned. Ever since Taki gains the Denryujin and subsequently the Victory Armor, Goro can now transform into Jet Phoenix Armor on his own.

In addition of retaining the Build Driver variant G7 system weapons (XGM-01II G7 Sky Buster, XGR-02II Neo Artemis, and XGS-03II Yoshiyuki Shin), G7 Icarus XYZ can also gain access to Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru, Taki's signature dual kodachi due to the latter being fused into Goro. G7 Icarus XYZ can use the said dual kodachi whenever Taki is in control of Goro's body, since both Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru are also bonded to Taki herself.

  • Build Driver finisher:
    • Bakunetsu Kousen (バクネツ光線 Bakunetsu Kōsen?, lit., "Explosive Ray"): G7 Icarus XYZ crosses his forearms in a "plus" (+) formation and fires a beam of light.
    • Bakunetsu Finish (バクネツフィニッシュ Bakunetsu Finisshu?, lit., "Explosive Finish"):
      • Rider Break: As Jet Pegasus and Shadow Winger combine into Jet Pegasus Winger, it rams the enemy right towards a cyberspace-like portal into outer space. G7 Icarus XYZ rides into Jet Pegasus Winger and races into the depths of space before ramming through the opponent with extreme force in a similar vein to Kamen Rider Knight Survive's Final Vent, Shippudan.
      • Rider Kick: G7 Icarus XYZ opens several portals around the battlefield surrounding the opponent. G7 Icarus XYZ jumps into the portal, reappear from one portal after another all while delivering multiple powerful kicks from every portal he enter and exits, before finishing the opponent with the last and one-hundredth kick. The finisher's delayed reaction takes effect once all portals are closed seconds later.
      • Rider Slash:
        • Taki: Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru's blades extend at an unprecedented length, G7 Icarus XYZ performs a cross-slash with both two blades. After Rekki-Maru & Mekki-Maru are sheathed back, an "X"-shaped tear is formed between the fabric of time and space, which opens a portal. It was first used to open a portal for the Space Explorers to return back to their prime parallel world.
      • Rider Punch: Both G7 Icarus XYZ's fists ignite in flames and delivers a rapid series of punches at the enemy.
  • Fullbottle Buster finisher:
    • Just Match Break (ジャストマッチブレイク Jasuto Matchi Bureiku?): G7 Icarus XYZ channels the power of two Fullbottle for either a powerful slash or a powerful shot.

    • FullFull Match Break (フルフルマッチブレイク Furu Furu Matchi Bureiku?): G7 Icarus XYZ channels the power of the FullFull RabbitTank Bottle for either a powerful slash or a powerful shot.
      • Rabbit Mode: G7 Icarus XYZ swings the Fullbottle Buster in a circular fashion before launching buzzsaw-like projectiles at the enemy
  • G7 EXlasher Finishers:
    • Exceed Slash (エクシードスラッシュ Ekushīdo Surasshu?): By plugging a Fullbottle into the top of the EXlasher before pressing the button on the EX Thumb Grip, G7 Icarus XYZ can empower the slashes he delivers with it.
      • Crow: G7 Icarus XYZ generates an "X" shaped projectile by performing a cross slash with the EXlasher before launching it to the enemy.
  • Build Driver + Fullbottle Buster finisher: G7 Icarus XYZ can combine the powers of the Build Driver and the Fullbottle Buster to perform a powerful finisher:
    • Bakunetsu Finish/Ultimate Match Break (バクネツフィニッシュ/アルティメットマッチブレイク Bakunetsu Finisshu/Arutimetto Macchi Bureiku?):
      • Castle + Kuwagata + Fukurou + Kerberos: G7 Icarus XYZ firstly releases all eight Fin-Feathers in firing formation. He then fires both the Fullbottle Buster and Fin-Feathers simultaneously at the enemy before surprising the enemy off guard with a powerful flying kick.

EX Strike Armor (EXストライクアーマ Ekusu Sutoraiku Amā?) is G7 Icarus XYZ's permanent upgrade form and the updated version of the original Strike Armor prototype, accessed by inserting the Crow Fullbottle into the G7 EXlasher, inserting it into the Build Driver, and turning the Vortex Lever, hence known as the Magnificent Birdman (壮大の鳥人 Sōdai no Chōjin?).

EX Strike Armor's stats are marginally high than Archangel Armor and New G7 Icarus, but is still completely eclipsed by Archangel Kerberos and Jet Phoenix Armor, respectively. His perimeters blow far past Build Aureo and Evol by small margins.

In addition his ability to spread his EX Icarus Wings (EXイカルスウイング EX Ikarusu Uingu?), the upgraded version of the original Strike Armor's Icarus Wings, he possess the ability to travel in light speeds similar to Kamen Rider Kabuto's Clock Up. He is also able to attack in extremely high speeds, creating copies of himself, and block attacks quite easily, as shown in his fight against Build Aureo.

His EX Strike Met (EXストライクメト EX Sutoraiku Meto?) features the High-Frequency Jammer (高周波ジャマー Kōshūha Jamā?) node on the top of the forehead and in the "eyes" above the Raven Visor (レイヴンバイザー Reivun Baizā?), that negates the full power of the Evol-Driver and the Pandora Box.

In this form, G7 Icarus XYZ is equipped with the following armor parts:

  • EX Wing Shoulders (EXウィングショルダー EX Uingu Shorudā?): The upgraded version of the original Wing Shoulders of the Strike Armor. A pair of shoulder armor that improves G7 Icarus XYZ's attack power and accuracy. They also have built-in High-Frequency Jammers that suppresses the energy of the Pandora Box.
  • EX Neutron Gauntlet (EXニュートロンガントレット EX Nyūtoron Gantoretto?): EX Strike Armor's gauntlets, the upgraded version of the original Corvus Gauntlet. Through the High-Frequency Neutrons (高周波中性子 Kōshūha Chūseishi?), the essence converted from the Crow Full Bottle to the G7 EXlasher filled into the suit, G7 Icarus XYZ's strength and speed is enhanced. It also has special hydraulics that allows G7 Icarus XYZ to deliver rapid-fast punches.
  • EX Corvus Legs (EXコーバスレッグ EX Kōbasu Reggu?): EX Strike Armor's leg armor, the upgraded version of the original Corvus Legs of the Strike Armor. It has special hydraulics that boost the user's jumping and kicking power, and allows G7 Icarus XYZ to run faster than the speed of light.
  • Origin Breastplate (オリジンブレストプレート Orijin Buresuto Purēto?): The reinforced chest armor of the original G7 Icarus Strike Armor. It compresses and produces High-Frequency Neutrons within the Crow Full Bottle plugged into the G7 EXlasher.
  • EX Icarus Thruster (EXイカルススラスタ EX Ikarusu Surasuta?): The main propulsion units located in the back of the armor and in the EX Corvus Legs. Even without activating the EX Icarus Wings, G7 Icarus XYZ can fly as long as the propulsion systems are active.
  • EXO-Barometer (エクソバロメーター Ekuso Baromētā?): The triangular chestpiece located at the center of the Origin Breastplate. It has two functions, it has the ability to absorb energy attacks and send them back to the attacker and it also measures the power levels of the suit. Whenever the EXO-Barometer blinks in red, it indicates that the EX-Strike Armor is low on energy and has a time limit of 20 minutes before Goro is forced out of his transformation.
  • Neutron Emitters (ニュートロンエミッタ Nyūtoron Emitta?): The glowing lines present in the EX Neutron Gauntlet and EX Corvus Legs. These serve as energy links connecting to the EXO-Barometer. The emitters glow even in pitch black darkness.

Carried over from his prior forms, EX-Strike Armor retains the G7 Sky Buster, Neo Artemis, Yoshiyuki Shin, and the Shadow Saber as his main arsenal. In addition, he can also summon the weapons created by Sento such as the Drill Crusher, Hawk Gatlinger, 4Koma Ninpotou, Kaizoku Hassyar, and the Beat Closer. This ability was lost after Goro's battle with Desast ends in a stalemate as a result of his Build Driver badly damaged from the latter's Calamity Strike; it would be carried onto Goro's recent final form, Icarus Grandprix.

This form has six finishers:

  • Build Driver Finishers:
    • Exceed Finish (エクシードフィニッシュ Ekushīdo Finisshu?): G7 Icarus XYZ flies into the air and splits into four copies of himself. The shadow clones dive into the enemy with a powerful kick.

Icarus Grandprix (イカルスグランドプリー Ikarusu Gurandopurī?) is Icarus's red dragon and Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale-based extra final form. Accessed by using the Grandprix Fullbottle with the Hazard Trigger equipped on the Build Driver. Additionally, this form converts Grancaesar into armor for Icarus, hence known as the Speed Demon Champion of Bonds (絆の覇者スピードデーモン野郎 Kizuna no Hasha Supīdo Dēmon Yarō?).

In this form, Icarus Grandprix is equipped with the Trans-Am Unit, a circular-shaped device mounted on his chest that allows him to access three types of time manipulation powers.

  • ICR Grandprix Head (ICRグランドプリーヘッド ICR Gurandopurī Heddo?) - The head.
    • Icarus Stradale Casco (イカルスストラダーレカスコ Ikarusu Sutoradāre Kasuko?) - The head armor. Durability is raised thanks to a special strengthening agent, allowing the user to reduce the distance between them and the enemy while resisting their attacks.
    • ICR Trofeo Signal (ICRトロフェオシグナル ICR Torofeo Shigunaru?, Trofeo means "trophy" in Italian.) - A data collection device located on the center of the Trident Slipstream. It not only collects combat data in real time, but also performs emergency repairs on the body when necessary. It also collects data on the enemy, allowing the user to grasp their abilties.
    • ICR Granturismo Visor (ICRグランツーリスモバイザー ICR Gurantsūrisumo Baizā?) - The visor.
    • Trident Slipstream (トライデントスリップストリーム Toraidento Surippusutorīmu?) - The jammer unit. It is shaped like that of the Maserati brand's trident logo. The Trident Slipstream functions as a means to jam the functions of Vistamps and Proto Vistamps, as well nullifying a Rider's internal operating systems.
    • Icarus GT Crusher (イカルスGTクラッシャー Ikarusu GT Kurasshā?) - The oral cavity. It has the function of supplying oxygen at a high enough concentration to compensate for the severe exhaustion caused by the strain of G-Forces pushed onto the user's body.
  • ICR-GP Stradale Vest (ICR-GPストラダーレベスト ICR-GP Sutoradāre Besuto?) - The reinforced chest armor. It has the function of withstanding G-Force when sprinting at a speed beyond 379 kph.
  • ICR-GP Unlimited Suit (ICR-GPアンリミテッドスーツ ICR-GP Anrimiteddo Sūtsu?) - The shock-resistant body suit. In addition a physical limiter to unleash the hidden physical ability of the user while offering protection from damage, the suit is tuned to reduce drag and modified for endurance racing.
  • ICR-GP Stradale Shoulder (ICR-GPストラダーレショルダー ICR-GP Sutoradāre Shorudā?) - The shoulders. Further improvement of attack speed and power is enhanced thanks to weight reductioning that optimizes arm movement.
  • ICR-GP Stradale Arm (ICR-GPストラダーレアーム ICR-GP Sutoradāre Āmu?) - The arms. As a result of modifications from the ICR-GP Unlmited Suit, it is possible to deliver a single punch as powerful as a gravitational force. While the user is able to withstand G-Forces, it is able to redirect G-Forces at enemies by converting G-Force into a destructive punching power.
  • ICR-GP Stradale Hand (ICR-GPストラダーレハンド ICR-GP Sutoradāre Hando?) - The hands. They are equipped with the function of converting G-Force into a devastating 66.6 t of punching power.
  • ICR-GP Stradale Leg (ICR-GPストラダーレッグ ICR-GP Sutoradāre Reggu?) - The legs. The modifications from the ICR-GP Unlimited Suit allows the user to run faster beyond the speed limit of 379 kph, at the same time converting G-Force into kicking power.
  • Granturismo Shoes (グランツーリスモシューズ Gurantsūrisumo Shūzu?) - The shoes. It has built-in footwork optimization and impact-type shredding devices and increases kicking power the more the user builds up G-Force from the ICR-GP Stradale Leg. Kicks will cause enemies to be sent speeding and ricochet on other debris, powerful enough to cause life-threatening injuries making it look like a car accident.

Icarus Grandprix's ending theme is "WINGS OF FIRE".

  • Maximum Running Speed: 157 m. per 0.117 sec.

New G7 Icarus (ニューG 7イカルス Nyū G 7 Ikarusu?) is G7 Icarus's second stage super form. This form is accessed by inserting the Stealth Sclashjelly into the Sclash Driver and pumping the lever.

New G7 Icarus's stats is inverse from G7 Type-S in terms of punching and kicking power, but retains the similar jumping height and running speed as the latter. Both of which are higher compared to Kamen Riders Cross-Z Charge, Build, and Grease.

In this form. New G7 Icarus is equipped with a wingpack called Machine Raiser Wings (マシンライザーウィング Mashin Raizā Uingu?), allowing him to fly and uses Variable Jelly to propel its twin thrusters. With the Machine Raiser Wings, New G7 Icarus is also able to fly without Shadow Winger's aid, who also happens to be transformed into Goro's personal weapon, the Shadow Saber.

New G7 Icarus's personal weapon is the Shadow Saber, a sword-and-gun weapon that Shadow Winger transforms into akin to WizarDragon becoming the Ax-Calibur whenever Wizard transforms into his Infinity Style. He uses the Twin Breaker as a secondary weapon. As with the G7 system weapons, he can still gain access with his main weapons such as the XGM-01II G7 Sky Buster, XGR-02II Neo Artemis, and XGS-03II Yoshiyuki Shin.

Goro later passes his Sclash Driver to Reiji Matsushima after having the latter regain his conviction and beliefs of fighting for peace, giving him the resolve to fight alongside him and the other Riders.

New G7 Icarus has three different finishers:

  • Sclash Driver finisher:
    • Scrap Bomber (スクラップボンバー Sukurappu Bonbā?):
      • Rider Kick: New G7 Icarus uses his Machine Raiser Wings to generate Variable Jelly (ヴァリアブルゼリー Variaburu Zerī?) in order to propel himself forward as he delivers a powerful kick to the enemy, coated in metallic-orange energy.
      • Rider Punch:
    • Charge Crash (チャージクラッシュ Chāji Kurasshu?): New G7 Icarus can use the power of an Organic Fullbottle.
      • Kuwagata: New G7 Icarus can conjure two different weapons with this Fullbottle:
        • Stag Guillotine (スタッグギロチン Sutaggu Girochin?): By using the Machine Raiser Armory (マシンライザーアーモリー Mashin Raizā Āmorī?) on either hand, New G7 Icarus creates a Variable Jelly Projection taking form of a claw arm resembling that of a stag beetle's mandibles. Pumping the lever 5 times executes X Crusher (エクスクラッシャ Ekusu Kurassha?).
        • Rapture Scissors (ラプチャーシザース Rapuchā Shizāsu?): New G7 Icarus can also conjure a Variable Jelly projection of the Stag Hard/Hazard Smash's Rapture Scissors to use them as his own. Pumping the lever 5 times executes Blue Leaves Lost (青葉喪失 Aoba Sōshitsu?). The finisher is named in honor of Aoba's death.
      • Panda: New G7 Icarus conjures two Variable Jelly projections of the Giant Scracther in both arms.
    • Discharge Crash (ディスチャージクラッシュ Disuchāji Kurasshu?): New G7 Icarus can use the power of an Inorganic Fullbottle.

        • Fullbottle

  • Twin Breaker finishers:
    • Attack Mode (アタックモード Attaku Mōdo?): New G7 Icarus channels the energy of a Fullbottle or the Stealth Sclashjelly and performs a powerful slash.
      • Single Break (シングルブレーク Shinguru Burēku?):
        • Fullbottle:
        • Sclashjelly:

        • Fullbottle + Sclashjelly:
        • 2 Fullbottles:
  • Sclash Driver + Twin Breaker finisher: New G7 Icarus can combine the powers of the Sclash Driver and the Twin Breaker to perform a powerful finisher. However, it puts a huge strain on New G7 Icarus's body, causing his transformation to cancel. Strangely enough, due to Goro's instant expertise with the Sclash Driver, he was able to hold on into his transformation.
    • Scrap Bomber/Twin Break (スクラップボンバー/ツインブレイク Sukurappu Bonbā/Tsuin Burēku?):: With the Twin Breaker in Attack Mode, New G7 Icarus channels the energy of 2 Fullbottles or a Fullbottle and the Stealth Sclashjelly and performs a powerful stab.
      • 2 Fullbottles:
        • Go-On WingsIcon-crosswiki (GoldIcon-crosswiki and SilverIcon-crosswiki): New G7 Icarus summons projections of Go-On Gold and Go-On Silver on his side equipped with their Switch Jet Sword Rocket DaggerIcon-crosswikis.

      • Fullbottle + Sclashjelly:
    • Scrap Bomber/Let's Finish (スクラップボンバー/レッツフィニッシュ Sukurappu Bonbā/Rettsu Finisshu?): With the Twin Breaker in Beam Mode, New G7 Icarus channels the energy of the Cross-Z Dragon, RabbitTank Sparkling Fullbottle, or the Arc-Winger and shoots a powerful blast.
      • Arc-Winger: New G7 Icarus summons a large Variable Jelly projection of an angel standing behind him, while forming a ball of energy on the palms. New G7 Icarus and the angel projection fire a powerful laser beam on both the Twin Breaker, and the energy ball on the palm, respectively.

This form's theme is entitled "ETERNAL BLAZE".

Relationships[]

  • Anzu Izumi/Kamen Rider G7 Type-S/Kamen Rider Leviathan: At first, Goro was unaware that he had an older sister. This is because months before he was born, Anzu mysteriously disappeared due to an accident in the beach, following that fateful incident, her sudden disappearance was kept secret from him. Fast forward the following 27 years, it is his father's video diary that Goro indeed discovers that he has an older sister, and his parents bear the sin of keeping it a secret. He later begins to suspect that Rakurai (Anzu's ninja identity) is connected to Anzu herself, when Rakurai encounters Goro in the Hoko Memorial Pillar visiting his parents' graves, Rakurai denies of being Anzu. That is until during the siege of the Touto Institute by Faust, Rakurai reveals herself to be Anzu, his older sister. Anzu would later join his brother's side all while manipulating the Kamui Tribe to get revenge against Faust in regards to her history against the evil organization. Upon hearing this, Goro disapproves her agenda because he points out that not only her actions will endanger those she cared for (namely Goro himself), she would have innocent people involved, albeit indirectly, by allowing Shingetsu kill a lot of people, among her victims includes those were Touto Prime Minister Taizan Himuro, and later his son Gentoku, who is also revealed to be Night Rogue, the leader of Faust. After Anzu decided to return home to her younger brother, both siblings develop their familial relationship after the 27 years she missed.
  • Taki/Kamen Rider Taki: Though their first meeting was a rocky start, he later decided to bring Taki and Natsu to his mansion and ended up living with him. Taki was initially cold towards him at first, until Goro reveals his tragic past to her as a means of reaching out to her. Eventually, Taki falls in love with Goro due to him having a resemblance to a certain ninja Taki looked up to in her teens and Goro himself guides Taki in terms of trying to adapt into the modern era. Their relationship served as a driving force throughout the series, much like between Samus and Mitsuzane during the first two volumes, which is made apparent according to Vernage, such bond between Goro and Taki is the result of the former unlocking the former's final form. Sometime after he and Anzu lose their powers, Goro continued to provide support for Taki, and even gave her advice of the hardships of being a Rider and remind her not to repeat his and his sister's mistakes. Eventually after the events of Taki Gaiden: The Kunoichi Who Leapt Through Time, he marries Taki and the two have a daughter and whenever Taki returns back to her homeworld, Goro takes on a more active parenting role to Fubuki.
  • Fubuki Izumi: His (future) daughter.

  • Kasumi Kiriyama: His loyal maid. Although Goro has known Kasumi back in their childhood days, Kasumi has ever since very dedicated so much to Goro and is the latter's only close friend and companion. Kasumi has been doing all the household work whenever her master is out working.
  • Natsu:
  • Natsuki Nakajima:
  • Shinya Aizawa:
  • Reiji Matsushima: Although they got off to a rocky start, Goro seems to be very skeptical towards Reiji due to him being Kaguya's secretary. He pitied the young man after telling him he was a pawn to Kaguya's selfish goals. Since then, Reiji decided to defect to Goro's side and Goro himself eventually guided him to his path of becoming a Rider. In short, Goro himself acts as a mentor to Reiji due to their similarities. Even after the merging of worlds, Reiji remains loyal to Goro.
  • Space Explorers
  • Team Build
    • Sento Kiryu: Though his meeting with Sento was a bit formal, having learned of his genius-level intellect Goro begins to admire Sento very much, especially after learning the former that he is Kamen Rider Build. In turn, Sento would present him a Build Driver and the Crow and Stealth Full Bottles to upgrade his prototype armor. Despite mocking Sento for his actions after learning the latter helped an inmate escape from the authorities, Goro still respects him. Their friendship was temporarily strained after he finds out that Sento is also revealed to be Takumi Katsuragi, the founder of Faust. Regardless, Goro begrudgingly decided to accept Sento even if he was once Katsuragi, reminding him that the most important thing about being a Kamen Rider is to protect people.
    • Kazumi Sawatari: Both Goro and Sawatari met in a rocky start, upon hearing his willingness to join into the war, he and his underlings belittle him, until Goro proved his worth by challenging him into a fight, which ended in a draw. Ultimately, he and the Three Crows begin to admire his determination and charisma. When Sawatari learns that Goro had his underlings undergo enhancements via Hazard Trigger, and consequently Aoba's demise at the hands of the Kerberos Smash, their partnership is strained. If anything, both of their mutual respect still remains. Sawatari can be easily ticked off whenever Goro tries to harm Misora, who happens to be his idol, Mii-Tan. Also, both he and Anzu can be easily irritated when it comes to Sawatari's obsession with Mii-Tan.
    • Gentoku Himuro / Night Rogue: Although they have interacted in rare occasions, Goro is revealed to have a respect for Gentoku. But, this is proven to be false due to his suspicions about the Touto government; Goro looks down on Gentoku with disdain because of his negative personality. This has become apparent when he discovered that he is also Night Rogue. Unfortunately, Goro never had the chance to fight Rogue due to Shingetsu immediately killing Gentoku after his identity exposed; in which his sister Anzu is responsible for. After Gentoku becomes Kamen Rider Rogue, Goro's disdain towards him never changes, to the point he manipulates Ryohei Kusanagi into killing Gentoku by proxy. When Gentoku is revived for the second time, Goro offers him a chance of redemption, to which the former accepts. And after Kaguya and Evolto's defeat, he willingly stood as a witness for Gentoku to be pardoned for his crimes.
    • Sawa Takigawa: Though they interact little much in the story. It seems that Goro is very skeptical towards Sawa after learning that she was worked as a spy for Namba Heavy Industries. Once she is suspected as the traitor according to Reiji Matsushima, Goro eventually loses all respect towards her, and outright says that he doesn't even care what is going to happen to her after she is held in custody by Elpis Corporation. In actuality, Goro pretended not to care about Sawa because he was unable to stop Elpis Corporation from taking her as their prisoner, thus blaming himself for this failure.
  • Ange and friends
  • Hokuto government
    • Yoshiko Tajimi: Goro (and by extension, his parents) know Tajimi as a family friend. Upon learning the break out of the war for Pandora Box, Goro begins to lose his respect towards Tajimi because of her altered personality caused by Pandora Box's energy.
    • Akaba: As with the rest of the Hokuto Three Crows, Akaba looked down on Goro at first; Goro responds by poking fun of his hair, and then started a fight with him. Eventually, Akaba is one of the first of Sawatari's men to earn Goro's respect. In turn, Goro eventually sympathizes with him when he learns their past, and even convinced him to have himself and his comrades undergo the Hazard Trigger enhancement.
    • Aoba: As with the rest of the Hokuto Three Crows, Aoba appears to be impressed with Goro's skills and personality which greatly influenced him, his comrades and captain. When Aoba died at the hands of the Kerberos Smash, Goro felt responsible for his well-being and is nearly afraid of facing Sawatari because of that. Sawatari eventually tells Goro not to take it upon himself before entrusting him his Kuwagata Full Bottle begrudgingly and promises to beat Kerberos.
    • Kiba: As with the rest of the Hokuto Three Crows, Kiba appears to idolize Goro's bravado, often gets into an argument with him and his sister.

  • Space Demon Clan Kamui Tribe
    • Shingetsu: Goro and Shingetsu already became bitter rivals in their first encounter. The latter sees him as a worthy opponent who can match his strength. Their rivalry grew worse once Shingetsu's insanity went off the deep end because of his lust for the Pandora Box's power.
  • Faust
    • Soichi Isurugi / Blood Stalk: Goro sees Blood Stalk as a major threat ever since he saw his G7 suits used by Guardians under his control, which prompted him to self-destruct the G7 suits worn by the Faust Guardians. Ironically, Faust using the G7 suits for their objective leads to their undoing: Soichi's defeat at Goro's hands and subsequently killed by Shingetsu. However, when Anzu and Goro decided to resurrect Soichi as an undead, Goro proposes a teeth-clenched alliance with Soichi concerning with Sento's problem with the Hazard Trigger. Regardless, Goro still maintains his distrustful attitude towards Soichi. When Elpis Corporation gets involved in the conflict, Soichi becomes concerned with Sento knowing that he'll be used by Kaguya Kozuki so the she can claim the Pandora Box for herself, he even asks Goro to look after Sento before Kaguya can make her move.
  • Elpis Corporation:
    • Kaguya Kozuki: Goro both loathes and distrusts Kaguya, and he is very aware that she is not very trustworthy to begin with. He is very paranoid towards her, as Goro's suspicions about her causes the latter's sinister nature to surface behind closed doors.
  • Ryohei Kusanagi:
  • Hideo Akaishi: While Goro is openly hostile towards Akaishi, he also notes the similarities between the Director of Fenix to himself: from overwhelming pride to seeing everyone around them as means to an end. He also notes that Akaishi's superhuman feats is comparable to an individual having reached the peak of godhood. In his first battle as Icarus Grandprix against Akaishi in his Giffdemos form, both men come to see each other as worthy adversaries; something that Goro had a similar sentiment from his last fight against Shingetsu.
  • Vail
  • Shirei Igarashi/Masayuki Terumi

    • Sougo Tokiwa: Though he meets Sougo in a rocky start. At first, he finds the youth's dreams of becoming king questionable. Eventually, he comes to respect the young man and notices the similarities between him and Sougo in terms of holding onto their ambitions. However, Goro is successful in his goals while he expects to see Sougo accomplish his goal.
  • People from 2068
  • Go-OngersIcon-crosswiki
  • Fenix
    • George Karizaki/Kamen Rider Demons (III)/Kamen Rider Juuga: Goro and George were in good terms with one another until the latter's descent into madness. During the Area 666 crisis, Goro secretly sabotaged the Chimera Driver that George would use to create the Juuga Driver.
  • Weekend
    • Masumi Karizaki: Goro does get along with Masumi and has since known him prior to Revice EXTRA. Masumi sent Goro to observe both his son and the Igarashi family while adjusting in his life as a race car driver. Goro appears to fully understand Masumi's woes and fears that if he and George never reconcile would send the latter to a dark path. In his dying breath, Masumi asks Goro to end George's life before he can become a danger to himself and those around him. However, Goro relents and foregoes Masumi's request as he, along with Hiromi uncover more about the Karizaki family's past; suggesting that George can still be reasoned.
    • Hana Natsuki/Aguilera: Having met while playing both sides between the Deadmans and Fenix, Goro sees Aguilera as a misguided person who was led down the wrong path against her will. Like Sakura, he wants her to live a life of a normal person rather than become Giff's bride. He is also protective of her against Terumi's advances.
  • Go Tamaki: After losing his Deadman powers, Tamaki willingly reached out to Goro to help him with Aguilera's situation. This also makes Goro a father figure to Tamaki while helping him live as a normal person and let go of his past.

    • (To George Karizaki) "You've lost it... After everything that old man tried to make things right with you and he feared that you would spiral down into this dark path. In that case, you'll be joining him after I'm done with you!"
    • (To Ikki Igarashi, before fighting Kamen Rider Juuga) "You're a tenacious guy aren't you? The fact you have nothing left to lose, let alone what is left of the memories of your own family. You know that once you're about to transform again, there's no turning back. I'm not stopping you... So, you're on your own kid."
    • (To George and Hiromi, after Ikki loses the memories of his family completely) "All's well that ends well... But, nobody expected this would end in a bittersweet note. Giff is history, and I still have a race to compete. Yet, something's still off. That kid could no longer remember his own family, and has to live away from them. I could say this is more than just bittersweet."
    • (To George and Hiromi) "We have come a long way, having fought the Deadmans and Giff... It was truly a fun adventure that I never had in the past four years. That race is a once in a lifetime moment, I'm going to win this not for myself, but for all of us! To prove we humans can break free from the shackles of fate."
    • (To Max Verstappen, when he learns that his team will guest participate on the GTX and the news of Keiko Ihara entering in the event) "It looks like when I announced the GTX drew the attention of many racers around the world, including yourself. Also, does the name Keiko Ihara ring a bell?"
    • (Upon arriving to witness Ikki and Vice's final battle) "Good thing I"m not yet late for the party. But, the way I see it right now... I supposed this is where good things must come to an end."
    • (His parting words to Ikki and his friends, at the same time a nod to Evolto) "The world of motorsport is vast as is the Earth itself; my journey to become the world's number one racer is far from over. I will keep racing and winning events from all over the globe, the next time you see me on TV is standing on the podium, doesn't matter I end up 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. If you guys need help, just call me. We'll meet again some other time, ciao!."

    Behind the Scenes[]

    Portrayal[]

    Goro Izumi is portrayed by Taishi Nakagawa (中川 大志 Nakagawa Taishi?). When he gets his body swapped with Sento Kiryu, he is portrayed by Atsuhiro Inukai (犬飼 貴丈 Inukai Atsuhiro?). In Kamen Rider Kenzan Gaiden: Legend of Snow White, he is portrayed by Hiroyuki Watanabe (渡辺 裕之 Watanabe Hiroyuki?) as an old man due to Taishi Nakagawa being unable to reprise the role; Watanabe is best known for his portrayal of Gaoh in Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born, Taiga Samejima in the GARO franchise, and Commander Akio Ishimuro in Ultraman Gaia; this is Hiroyuki Watanabe's final role before his death in 2022. As a teenager in Revice Black Wings: Kamen Rider Icarus, he is portrayed by Shunya Kaneko (金子 隼也 Kaneko Shun'ya?), who previously portrayed Akito Hijiri in Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga. As Kamen Rider G7 Icarus, his suit actor is Jun Watanabe (渡辺 淳 Watanabe Jun?), who would later on go to portray Night Rogue in the story and in Kamen Rider Build. As Kamen Rider G7 Icarus XYZ, his suit actor is Hirokazu Iwakami (岩上 弘数 Iwakami Hirokazu?).

    Etymology[]

    • Goro's name translates as "fifth rookie", referencing as the author's first original character being an experienced newcomer as a Kamen Rider.
    • His Rider identity is named after Icarus in Greek Mythology, the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warns Icarus first of complacency and then of hubris, instructing him to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them. Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He tumbled out of the sky, fells into the sea, and drowned. The myth would later be coined in the idiom, "don't fly too close to the sun".
    • Keeping with the tie-in to Build's science and mathematical themes, his Rider designation bearing "XYZ" is a reference to algebraic variables. The "x" and "y" are variables in an equation, While the "Z" refers to Integers.
      • Additionally, it is also a reference to the Cartesian coordinate system's horizontal values: The X Coordinate (or the "Abscissa") is always written first in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y), such as (12,5), while the Y Coordinate (or the "Ordinate") is always written second in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y) such as (12,5). Both are rarely used for x and y, respectively. When they are, the Z-coordinate (or the "Applicate"). The words abscissa, ordinate and applicate are sometimes used to refer to coordinate axes rather than the coordinate values.
    • Keeping up with the demon theming of Kamen Rider Revice, Icarus's new forms are associated to the Christian devil:
      • Kamen Rider Icarus Lightbringer's name is a Latin transliteration of Lucifer, a fallen angel cast down from heaven and the true name of Satan/the Devil. Fittingly, Lucifer is the embodiment of the deadly sin of Pride.
      • Befitting Goro's stint as a race car driver, Grand Prix refers to any of a series of auto-racing or motorcycling contests forming part of a world championship series, held in various countries under international rules.
        • Icarus Grandprix's Japanese spelling is written as (グランドプリー Gurandopurī?) in katakana instead of (グランプリ Guranpuri?), as the word "Grand" in Grandprix is to serve as an anagram for Dragon (ドラゴン Doragon?). In the Book of Revelations (12:7 & 9), the dragon is one of the creatures associated to Satan, the Devil.
    • Keeping up with Goro's Greek mythology motif, Kamen Rider Zeus is named after the Greek god of thunder of the same name and the ruler of the Olympian gods.

    Notes[]

    • Despite Goro being 27 years old, and at least three years younger than Taiga Hanaya. His actor, Taishi Nakagawa is 19 years old at the time. Coincidentally, Taishi portrayed a 27 year old protagonist, Arata Kaizaki in the live-action film adaptation of the manga ReLIFE.
    • Both Icarus Lightbringer and Grandprix base suits reuse the bodysuit of Kamen Rider Build Genius Form. The Lightbringer armor is a modified EX-Strike Armor, while Grandprix's helmet is reused from Kamen Rider Calibur Jaou Dragon; with the helmet having a transparent visor and faceplate to overlap Icarus's face with the shoulder pads and chest armor are rehashed from the Night Rogue suit.
    • Kamen Rider Zeus's suit is modified from Kamen Rider Cross-Z Evol with Kamen Rider Demons' helmet, using the color scheme of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team's colors (black, silver, and teal). Zeus's design is based from the livery of the Mercedes AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+ and Mercedes W13.
    • Goro is infamous for being an aggressive driver, so much so that this even scares Aguilera for driving excessively fast and the number of accidents he sustained in his races despite having coming out unscathed on such instances.
    • Goro's post-battle phrase "checkmate" is coined from the the core teamIcon-crosswiki of Mahou Sentai MagirangerIcon-crosswiki, and their American counterpartsIcon-crosswiki from Power Rangers Mystic ForceIcon-crosswiki.
    • Goro is a fan of the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team, and by extension Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver representing the said team. He is also shown wearing an Aston Martin Red Bull Racing hat throughout Revice EXTRA. In the fourth season, both Goro and Verstappen team up along with a few F1 drivers in the war against Giff.
      • Also, season 4 of Revice EXTRA confirms that he is also a fan of former motorcycle racer turned race car driver Valentino Rossi, who likewise appears in the show along with the F1 drivers.
    • Goro is mostly associated with the number 7, which is said to be considered a lucky number. This reflects his unnaturally high luck that somehow protected him from near-death experiences.
      • Goro was 27 years old at the time of his debut.
      • He created the Kamen Rider G7 system.
      • His driver number is 07. Grancaesar also has the same number on his livery.
      • Goro's transformation pose as Icarus Lightbringer and Icarus Grandprix traces a "7" with his fingers.
      • Goro embodies all of the Seven Deadly Sins:
        • Pride: Goro is shown to be insufferably prideful of his knowledge and skills. So much so he slowly began adopting a God complex in the same manner as Kuroto Dan. He also considers himself as a perfectionist as a racing driver.
        • Lust: Before marrying Taki, Goro takes any opportunity to having in sex with her. Over time, it blossomed into a healthy relationship. Outside of sex, Goro takes pleasure fighting stronger opponents.
        • Wrath: Goro has a tendency to fly in a fit of rage when provoked or if his loved ones are threatened and becomes more violent, going to induldge at killing his enemies. Over time, he comes to unleash his brutal nature in tranquility.
        • Envy: Goro has a tendency to resent anyone better than him in terms of intellect. He views Sento as his "rival". As they are both equally intelligent, Goro vowed himself to surpass Sento one day. Despite this, he and Sento are in good terms. Goro is very openly envious of George's inventions, to the point he had to create a knockoff using the Revice Driver, one of George's creations, as a template. Also, he takes offense being compared to George, as Masumi once reminded Goro of his son.
        • Gluttony: Prior to season 3, Goro has never won a podium in his racing career. Thus, his insatiable desire to win at all costs symbolizes this.
        • Greed: Goro lives a lavish lifestyle and keeps a collection of cars with him. Humorously, he is prone to overreact whenever his cars get damaged or stolen.
        • Sloth: In Revice EXTRA, he stays on the sidelines and rarely helps the heroes until Giff's awakening.
      • In Judeo-Christian numerology, Seven is also called the number of God, which signifies spiritual perfection. As Kamen Rider Zeus, Goro assumes the role of God as Giff is to the Devil.
      • Goro's transformation into Kamen Rider Zeus is a reference to the namesake god having seven wives, and incidentally, his seventh wife is none other than his sister, Hera.
    • In Engine Sentai Go-Onger: 10 YEARS PRELUDE feat. Kamen Rider BuildIcon-crosswiki, Goro keeps a collection of cars in his mansion; which is a foreshadowing to his race car driving career and he would further expand his collection in Kamen Rider Revice EXTRA: Kamen Rider Sin. Among the list of cars include:
    • Nakagawa cited his portrayal of Goro being based on Ryosuke Takahashi from Initial D. Ironically, his character drove a Toyota AE86, a car associated to Ryosuke's protegee Takumi Fujiwara.
    • Keeping up with Kamen Rider Juuga's parallels to Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider Zeus serves as one for N·Daguva·Zeba, the final villain Kuuga faces. However, Zeus primarily has aquamarine accents instead of gold like Daguva's while maintaining the white/silver base colors of his Rider form as opposed to Juuga's jet-black and gold color scheme.
