Kamen Rider Psyga with the Flying
Attacker.
is a fictional character portrayed by Peter Ho in the Japanese
television series, Kamen Rider 555. It was the 5th Rider Gear produced for Kamen Rider 555, and appeared only in the movie "Paradise Lost."
Kamen Rider Psyga exists in a world where the
Orphnochs have taken over the planet and humans are
slowly being exterminated. The Psyga Gear was recorded as the fifth
Rider Gear created by Smart Brain, after the Faiz, Kaixa, and Delta
Gears were stolen by the humans and the RioTrooper gear had
undergone mass-production. Created alongside the Orga Gear, the
Psyga Gear is regarded as a "perfect" gear, and therefore it can
only be worn by Orphnochs. Psyga appeared to be as fast and strong
as the existing gears, matching Kamen Rider Faiz Axel Form for
speed and Kaixa for strength. Because the weapons appear once the
armor is formed and were created based on trial data from the
previous gears, it possesses much greater functionality and ability
than the previous Riders.
The Psyga Gear is worn by Leo, a foreigner Orphnoch who speaks
coherent English, thus making him the first non-Japanese Kamen
Rider. He is supposedly under the personal supervision of Kyoji
Murakami (Rose Orphnoch) himself. He has the Smart Brain logo
tattooed on his back. His Orphnoch form is unknown due to never
transforming on screen, although he has displayed the ability to
grow tentacles from his fingertips. In the S.I.C. Hero Saga story
"Lost World", a prequel to "Paradise Lost", Leo is shown to be the
Lion Orphnoch, though this story is not considered canonical. Leo
used the Psyga Gear a total of 4 times throughout the movie. He was
destroyed along with the Psyga gear by
Kamen Rider Faiz when Faiz hits the Faiz
Edge through the Gear itself, destroying it and turning the
transformed Leo to dust along with it.
Armor Information
The Psyga Armor has several key features in its design. Unlike the
Gear, the armor does not exist until the wearer transforms.
- Full Metal Lung: The chest armor of the Rider
provides the most protection, being able to withstand light
Anti-tank weaponry.
- Psyga Core: In the center of the Full
Metal Lung is a large glowing purple dome. This is the primary
reservoir of Photon Blood.
- Global Feeler: The antenna on the Rider’s head
can be used to communicate with the Smart Brain Satellite and the
Smart Brain computer network.
- Photon Blood: A glowing substance that
provides all of the Rider’s powers and generates all of the
physical features of the armor. The Photon Blood is
generated from the Psyga Driver. The Psyga Gear produces
twice the Photon Blood than the Faiz gear.
- Photon Streams Ver.2: The path that the
Photon Blood travels through the Rider’s armor. This
advanced version of the regular "Photon Streams" was installed in
the Emperor Belts in order to better deal with the great amount of
"Photon Blood" that the Gear produces. Psyga's path is blue and
follows an irregular pattern (unlike the other gears) which gives
Psyga's "Photon Streams" a slight resemblance to actual blood
veins.
- Photon Terminals: Where the Photon
Streams connect with the gauntlets and greaves.
- Luna Foam/Metal: Soft parts of the armor are
made of Luna Foam, and the hard parts are made of Luna Metal. This
substance is generated by the Psyga Driver to form complex
machinery that is powered by Photon Blood. If the Foam or Metal are
damaged, the armor switches off and resets itself. Aside from being
white in color, Luna Foam and Metal does not seem to differ from
Sol Foam and Metal.
- Sky High Finder: The large eyepieces of the
Rider give them incredible vision. They can see in darkness with no
problems and have a limited amount of x-ray vision.
Psyga Gear
The Psyga Gear is an advanced belt and cell phone developed by the
Smart Brain Corporation under the codename of Emperor Belt of
Heaven. When activated by the Mission Memory they activate the
Psyga armor. The Gear is usually stored inside Smart Brain
headquarters along with the
Orga
Gear while not in use. Unlike the original 3 Rider gears, Psyga
has no external parts attached to the belt that turn into weapons.
Instead, Psyga's weapons materialize once the armor has been
activated.
- Psyga Mission Memory: A small metallic card
key with the Psyga symbol on it. When this device is inserted into
the Psyga gear, it turns them into powerful weaponry, also allowing
the weapon to “EXCEED CHARGE” after pressing enter on the Psyga
phone.
- SB-315B Psyga Driver: A high tech looking belt
that generates the photon streams for the Kamen Rider armor. If the
belt is removed, the armor disappears.
- SB-315F Flying Attacker: A high-tech backpack
worn by Psyga. It provides Psyga with flight capabilities
(including the ability to hover) with a maximum speed of 820 km/h.
It allows Psyga to perform the "Cobalt Smash", Psyga's Rider Kick, the Sky Impact, Psyga's Rider Punch
and equivalent to the Faiz and Kaixa Shot. It can also convert to
"Blaster Rifle Mode" where the main engines fold down and out to
become high powered laser cannons, though the Flying Attacker's
flight speed is greatly reduced in this mode. It works in either
"Burst Mode", where it can fire 120 rounds per second, or in
"Single Mode" where it discharges one single high-powered shot from
both engines. The Flying Attacker is an optional component to Psyga
and therefore is not necessary to the transformation.
- SB-315T Psyga Tonfa Edge: A pair of bladed
tonfa used by Psyga in battle.
They serve as the primary weapons for Psyga and can
"EXCEED CHARGE" to execute the "Tonfa Edge EX"
attack.
- SB-315P Psyga Phone: This phone is a
transgenerator, the control unit of the Psyga Gear and also the
primary storage place for the Psyga Mission Memory. The
Psyga phone's design was based on the Faiz Phone design. It is
assumed to be capable of functioning as a normal phone as
well.
Psyga Command Codes
The Psyga Gear has several command codes that can be punched into
the Psyga Phone to perform different functions. All of these codes
require the Psyga Phone and Psyga Driver.
- [3][1][5][ENTER]: After entering the code the
Psyga Phone will say “STANDING BY”. When the Psyga Phone is
inserted into Psyga Driver slot, it will say “COMPLETE”. The wearer
will then be transformed into Kamen Rider Psyga if they have enough
Orphnoch DNA; otherwise
there will be an "ERROR" and the Psyga Driver will violently eject
from the wearer. Leo had a habit of tossing the Psyga phone into
the air and catching it just before inserting the phone into the
driver; it is unknown if this was part of the henshin sequence.
Also, even though he speaks English, he still says "henshin" before
changing into Psyga instead of "transform".
- [1][0][3][ENTER]: When the Psyga Phone is
turned into Phone Blaster and this code is entered, it will say
“SINGLE MODE”. The Blaster can fire a continuous beam of Photon
Energy for about 3 seconds. It has 12 shots until it must be
recharged.
- [1][0][6][ENTER]: When the Psyga Phone is
turned into Phone Blaster and this code is entered, it will say
“BURST MODE”. The Blaster can fire 3 round bursts of Photon Energy.
It has 4 bursts until it must be recharged.
- [2][7][9][ENTER]: If the Phone Blaster is
empty and this code is entered, it will say “CHARGE” and will
proceed to recharge the weapon. This takes about 5 seconds.
- [End Call]: Pressing the "End Call" button
will switch off the Psyga Driver and cause the Luna Foam and Luna
Metal to disappear.
