Description
*Updated 1/11/16 with Lemon Arms (Sengoku ver.)*This is the final Energy Arms rider from Gaim. Duke here is a continuation of the blue/yellow obsession rider designers seem to have these days.
Duke looks pretty awesome with the Lemon Energy armor or without it. The sharp armor with the black markings is great and makes him look very intimidating. Granted, we have yet to see him actually fight. And since Professor Ryoma is the designer/creator of all the drivers in Gaim, it might be safe to assume he may not be the best fighter. His symbol and crown remind me of Nightmare Before Christmas for some reason. As with all the Energy Arms Riders, the toughest part here was trying to replicate the liquid juice/soda/bubble feel all the armors and visors have. I am pretty happy with the final products.
The second two are Duke's slightly altered base suit from the Drive/Gaim team up movie, and Duke in Dragonfruit Energy Arms. On the bottom is Duke's old form shown in the Gaim Gaiden. This is Lemon Arms on a Sengoku Driver, complete with his lemon epee weapon.
Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.

Only Ryoma would have a lockseed called out his own name. "Incredible Ryoma" 😑

The standard lemon arms looks really good on Duke. It's different from his energy arms but you can still tell that it's a lemon-themed armor.

Yup. I like Genesis/Energy Lemon's helmet more than Sengoku/regular, but it's kinda tied for the torso armors for me.

Hehe, yeah you gonna have to add normal Lemon Arms and a Sengoku Driver for him now. ^^"

"Hehe" I don't have to do a damn thing, actually.

Bit late to step in, but jgresidenevil 's comment sounds NOWHERE near disrepectful. He's just joking, so mind cutting the poor guy some slack? It's not like he's lying about Duke with a Sengoku Driver.

You "stepping in" for whatever reason doesn't change the fact that I actually don't have to do a damn thing, that's what people don't seem to understand. And pestering me, even in a "joking tone", about upcoming suit designs is extremely annoying.

Can u update Duke Dragonfruit energy arms ?img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unlike some people who fell the need to make designs immediately after they are revealed in blurry, undetailed shots, I prefer to wait. There is absolutely no reason to attempt to make a full design based on the two or three images we've seen of it at this point. I'm bound to get something wrong, as other people constantly do because they're impatient.
So no. I will not update it now nor will I ever make something because other people ask. I make designs on my schedule, not yours or anyone else's. I will update it when I fell comfortable I actually can see what the design and details look like.

Here is a clearer image of it img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, I've already seen that picture. Yes, it's clearer. No, it's still not great quality. No, I will still not be making it yet. I'm in the middle of making the apple riders from Gaim and will probably jump right into making Showa riders as the year I gave myself is rapidly closing.
I will make Dragonfruit when I feel like it. And the longer I put it off, the clearer images will be to reference from. People need to realize they cannot make demands of me. I make pieces on my own time, not when there's a new picture or form. I do not rush. Please stop trying to make me.

Then we'll just wait for the Drive and Gaim Movie War to come out, so you can get more details on the Duke's Dragon Energy Armor, and maybe make Duke's Dragon Energy Arms when the time comes.

Sorry for bothering you. Cool art by the way, I'll wait for the update

Well done! Duke is one of my favorite Energy Rider design.

Not the best fighter...
Most of us thought that as well. BOY WERE WE WRONG.
Sure, he might not have a definite fighting style, but he makes up for it in sheer brawn. Turns out Sengoku is inexperienced in how to safely hold back his power, meaning Kota and Kaito got slammed with all of Sengoku's power.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of the four energy riders though, I'm still thinking he's not the best fighter. Zangetsu is definitely more impressive. Marikia has been hinted as not showing her true power yet. Sigurd may be the least inexperienced fighter actually, but then again, he's also the only one other than Zangetsu to take down an Invess. I dunno, I still kinda think the other energy riders other than Zangetsu will be dead by the end.

Wow, KR Duke looks great with the Yellow/Slate Blue scheme.

He does look better than some other blue/yellow riders.

No doubt. I have a good feel he's going to be a fan favorite.

" blue/yellow obsession rider designers seem to have these days."
AGREE
and always is for a power up form/state or final form/state

I know, it's kinda lame. There are more color pairings!

i kinda find the headphones to be a intersting design choice it feetsa Beat Rider but a corperate rider? not so much and yet well never see a Beat Rider as Lemon since its a energy lock seed and thus only a a jinba-mix form is posible
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
You do know they're making regular Lemon Arms for the Gaim Gaiden movie based on him, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thoguth i saw all the giam movies are you taking about Dragonfruit Energy? My point still stands there is no Non energy Lemon/Headphones

Lemon Arms without headphones.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actully i was more talking about hwo the headphone thematically would have worked well during the Beat Rider/Sengoku Arcs not that duke looks better without.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I don't think it's necessarily headphones, just the lemon pieces as each set of armor has its own pieces of fruit on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
still it has the same sort of effect which lead to my thoughts, I've also often pondered that they would fit DJ Sagura really well too

Ah, yeah, my favorite Energy Rider design. I love the helmet and armor design of him.

My favourit energy rider, design wise.
It reminds me of Kiva Emperor form and Knight Survive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, he does have that knight/royal design, hence his name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah.
But I am also saying that since I have noticed that all of the riders so far have some sort of resemblence to the previous main riders of the last 15 years.
The energy riders being Final forms instead of basic form.
Duke is Emperor and I would say that Sigurd reminds me of Complete form.
Malika is Liner form and that would make Shin Xtreme.
Just some observations. It is an anniversary show, so if you pay attention, you find stuff like that.
Like the fact that the Invess that Gaim fought when he got the latest upgrade was based of Tajadol.
Sorry if I went on a bit of a rant and off topic there.
But yes, Duke is my favourit energy rider so far design wise. And I like Ryouma, so there is a big chance that he will become another one of my favourit riders of the show.
Now all that is left for DJ to become a rider and this show will be all I ever wanted.

I think you're really stretching there for references where there don't seem to be any. But if that's what you like to think, go for it.

I just have a bit of a nack for details for shows like these.
Both Baron and Duke has faces that that are very remincent of Ryuki,Knight,Zolda,Rai,Zolda and several other if not all Ryuki riders.
Gaim's head design reminds me of Kuuga and Zangetzu's head design and general themes are clear Agito.
Ryugen has some very faint lines that remind me of the three riders of Faiz.
Kurokage's big optic and rather simple design makes me think of an Oni.
Gridon's face looks like a large blade should be sticking up his head and that he should hammer down some cards instead.
Knuckle looks like Kabuto with his cast on. Plus his big knuckles.
And Bravo makes me think of Gaoh.

Again, stretching and trying to find correlation where it doesn't exist. But whatever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
After having watched all of Boukenger where every single monster was based off the previous mecha's through the 30 years of the show, you get an eye for details like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Once again, you're stretching. It's not 'an eye for details', it's an eye for making correlations that don't exist.
An 'eye for details' is something like Gaim and Zangetsu are based more on samurai whereas Baron and Gridon are based on more western feudal knights. That's an eye for detail. What you're doing is making s*** up.

Sorry.
I should not bother you more.
