Description I've been working on this guy for a long time, mostly figuring out how the form change works and a color combo. Ultimately, when I made the Gashat's black-to-yellow gradient color scheme, it made sense to use those colors.

But yes, this is what I'm more or less calling Kamen Rider Doregiri - a combination of DoReMiFa Beat and Giri Giri Chambara. This is because his Gashat of choice is Melody Chambara, a game that utilizes music and swordfighting. Specifically, the game is about a soldier who levels up to a samurai by collecting music tokens.

Rather than having a chibi form, Doregiri has a Level 5 form which is slow and heavy in defense. He has a shotgun weapon that helps him reach some tokens. When they're collected, he switches to Level 10 (no X puns here), which is what I'm deeming his default form. It's more like the others and is very fast. His shotgun splits into two swords, allowing him to Musashi-it-up.

The design on this one uses some familiar parts. The base suit is Brave's since it matches the Gashat a bit, being a Mighty Bros style thing with black on yellow. He also has a ponytail using Brave's helmet part. Oh, and Ex-Aid's shoulders, which mmmay change to something original once I tinker with this a bit more.

With the Level 5 form I decided it'd be interesting if the soldier form makes use of subform-style armor. Specifically, it uses Chambara Gamer's shoulders and forearm pieces, Robot Gamer's torso, and some original parts for the legs and head. The helmet is made so that the eyes are pretty hidden behind it, along with the crest the samurai form had. I imagine it being pretty much a Kabuto-style Cast Off with parts turning into pixels as they fly off.

Also yeah, he uses a Para-DX style belt with a buckle that I may just revert to its original design since this music note is hard to make out. The Gashat has a button on its bottom to function in the holder. It works like so:
- Activating the Gashat triggers a Para-DX style transformation with the Level 5 transformation sound playing.
- Whenever a token is collected, it says "Token Get!" - if this were a toy you'd have to press the button 5 times.
- A loading sound plays when tokens are gotten. Pressing the button triggers the Level 10 transformation.
- While in Level 10, another loading sound plays when pressing it. One more press leads into the finisher.

Also I realize I basically combined some Gaim and Kabuto stuff here, that was pretty unintentional - I legit got excited to combine music and samurais and it just kinda turned out that way. But ah well, the game goes on.

So what would Mighty Bros. be like if it was used like this?

I think you could probably combine the Level XX forms Kamen Rider W style to mimic the Level X form, but perhaps that's low-hanging fruit.

Personally, I think that would look pretty cool. Maybe the split Level X head would stay on the shoulders to keep the design unique.

Interesting design idea. Using two existing games and combining them into a new form is a pretty novel idea. I like that he's not necessarily as strong as Para-DX due to the games he has, but at least he's got potential to be stronger by using a Gamer Driver, if you decide to get that far. I do like how the Level 5 form's armor would help in survivability and allow the Rider to collect the tokens and survive long enough to become Level 10.

looks pretty interesting, you thinking about doing a lv50 version of your riders?

I already have a plan for Strat at least. That'll come much later, though.
