Kamen Rider Gridon — Description

Hideyasu Jonouchi (城乃內秀保 Jōnouchi Hideyasu), more commonly referred to by his last name, is Kamen Rider Gridon (仮面ライダーグリドン [栗団] Kamen Raidā Guridon), the scheming leader of Team Invitto . He uses the Donguri Lockseed before it was destroyed, along with his personal Sengoku Driver. He replaced it with the Matsubokkuri Lockseed and the mass-produced Sengoku Driver to transform into the new Kamen Rider Kurokage (仮面ライダー黒影 [クロカゲ] Kamen Raidā Kurokage, lit. "Black Shadow"), before its short demise by Kougane .
During Gridon and Kurokage's debut, Ryoji Hase named Jonouchi's Armored Rider form Gridon, having himself disliked the name at first but he eventually accepted it as his name.

The Ride Wear (ライドウェア Raido Uēa) is Gridon's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Gridon's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
The Ride Wear that Gridon's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator (ライダーインジケーター Raidā Injikētā) faceplate. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint .
