Vistamps

The are stamp-like devices used by the Riders in Kamen Rider Revice.
==Overview==
===Vistamps===
Based on the Giff Stamp found in the ruins of Central and South America in 1971, Masumi Karizaki developed the Vistamps as a way to separate people from their demons. They can be used to make a contract with an inner demon and release it from the body, allowing it to materialize. The genetic information of a specific organism is also stored in each Vistamp. Later, Masumi's son George Karizaki continued his father's research. After becoming a scientist at Fenix, he incorporated the into the Vistamps and created the Revice System as a way to harness the power of demons in order to fight the Deadmans. Vistamps are used to either transform into a Kamen Rider or change between various Genome forms.
===Proto Vistamps===
The are prototype versions of normal Vistamps. After being stolen from Fenix, they are used by the Deadmans to create Deadmen. After being recovered, they can be completed by Fenix to create normal Vistamps for the Kamen Riders to use. Unlike normal Vistamps, the Proto Vistamps are not based off of a Legend Rider and solely contain an animal's genetic information. While Proto Vistamps can be used in the Revice Driver for transformation, it is implied by Karizaki that using them to Remix may have unstable side effects. Hideo Akaishi later has multiple copies of all of the Proto Vistamps created for Vail to use.
===Kaijin Stamps===
Working alongside George Karizaki, Shogo Ueshima created the , which instead use the DNA of various monsters which are transformed from humans. By stamping themselves with a Kaijin Stamp, a human can transform into the corresponding monster. After Ueshima's death, his research and the development of the Kaijin Stamps was continued by Suzu Saionji.
===Crisper Stamps===
The were a set of four stamps created by Shocker that contain the genetic information of historical figures. When the Deadmans located the Diablo Stamp, they found the Crisper Stamps in the same abandoned lab and presented them to Diablo after releasing him. The demon absorbed the stamps into his body and used them to create the Crispers. The Crisper Stamps were destroyed along with Diablo.
==Design==
A Vistamp consists of the following parts:
*: The Vistamp's activation device. When pressed with a finger, the Vistamp emits light and shifts to its active state. At the same time, the unique name of the Vistamp is announced and an alert is issued. It also functions as a controller to temporarily operate a stamped object.
*: The Vistamp's exterior. , a rock native to Central and South America that has an impressive marble-like pattern, is used for the outer material. It is extremely strong and resistant to environmental changes. Additionally, it does not require any external support systems such as a power supply or temperature control, so it is possible to stably maintain and manage the genetic information independently.
*: A metal relief that represents the stored genetic information. Its shape allows it to be distinguished even in the dark, preventing misuse.
*: A special container for storing the Vistamp's genetic information. Genetic information that can be said to be a blueprint of a species is stored inside. Originally colorless and transparent, it changes color due to the refractive index of light changing in response to the contents. Similar to a medicine bottle, it prevents the deterioration of its contents.
*: The face of the Vistamp. By pressing it against a human body, a contract can be formed with the demon inside and release it. The special information transmission code called the that appears at the time of stamping has the role of transmitting the genetic information of the species stored in the Vistamp to the demon and conferring its ability. The Vistamp Code, which is highly visible and similar to an emoji, enables the instantaneous transmission of a huge amount of information as large as one zettabyte.
==Functionality==
To activate a Vistamp in order to use it, the user presses the Activate Knock located at the top.
===Rider Transformation===
*Revice Driver: After stamping the Vistamp onto the screen of the Revice Driver, the user then inserts the stamp into the Driver and pulls it to the side, flipping the screen to face forward and transforming the user and their inner demon into Kamen Riders Revi and Vice respectively.
*Two Sidriver: After stamping the Vistamp onto the Two Sidriver, the user inserts it into the docked Evilblade/Livegun. The user then detaches the weapon from the Driver body and pulls the trigger. If the Evilblade is used, the user will transform into Kamen Rider Evil. If the Livegun is used, the user will transform into Kamen Rider Live.
*Libera Driver/Week Endriver: After activation, the Vistamp is inserted into the slot of the Libera Driver/Week Endriver. The user then rotates the driver 90 degrees clockwise, initiating the user's transformation. 
*Demons Driver/Vail Driver/Destream Driver: After stamping the Vistamp on the top of the Driver, it is then stamped on the Driver's front screen, initiating the user's transformation.
*Chimera Driver/Juuga Driver: The user inserts the activated Vistamp into the Driver and pulls it to the side, initiating the transformation.
===Weapon Finishers===
*Ohinbuster50: Prior to insertion, the Vistamp is stamped into the screen of the Ohinbuster50. After insertion, the user pulls one of the two triggers, initiating a Stamping Slash or Stamping Strike depending on which mode the weapon is in.
*Osutoderuhammer50: After scanning a Vistamp, the user pulls the trigger, executing an Osutoderu Crash finisher with its power.
===Deadman Creation/Transformation===
When a Proto Vistamp is activated and then stamped onto a person's body, their inner demon is released and materialized in the form of a Deadman. A regular Vistamp can also be used. The Vistamp that was used to create the Deadman is required in order for the user to form a higher contract and fuse with the Deadman to become a Phase 2 Deadman. Gifftex instead use their Proto Vistamps to transform into their Phase 3 Deadmen forms at will. By using a Proto Vistamp on themselves and stamping the Giff Stamp on Giff's coffin at the same time, a human will assume the associated Deadman form while also gaining the power of Giff, resulting in a Phase 4 Deadman.
===Inner Demon Materialization===
Rather than creating a Deadman, the Igarashi siblings (Ikki, Daiji, and Sakura) are able to materialize their inner demons in their natural forms. This is done via the host stamping their personal Vistamp on their bodies. Vice is materialized with the Rex Vistamp, Kagero with the Bat Vistamp, and Lovekov with the Cobra Vistamp. Additionally, their inner demons can release their hosts if they have possessed him, demonstrated with Kagero using the Bat Vistamp to release Daiji.

He also stated the text message background during Revice’s transformations is in reference to LINE stamps on Japanese messaging boards as if one searches “stamp” on the internet, that is the top result on a Japanese search engine as traditional ink stamps are rarely used anymore.http://ukiyaseed.weebly.com/ukiyaseeds-other-blog/kamen-rider-revices-producer-talks-about-the-shows-concept-and-series-timeline
**Contracts with demons, such as in the creation of a Deadman, instead have a literal paper contract that is stamped or signed with ink, emphasizing the demons' ancient nature in contrast to the Riders' technology.
*One of the images drawn by artist Shoma Mutohttps://twitter.com/cyq_joker/status/1436849753241751554, in Revice’s opening is an ink painting of a human sprouting from a tree with animals coming out of it based on the . Many of the animals are used for Vistamps already revealed before the show aired. Some, such as the turtle, Smilodon, and marlin were used later. Jaguar, whale, crane, and bear are currently unused sounds in the Demons Driver. The following other animals do not currently have an associated Vistamp:

*Not counting the toy-exclusive variants, the Condor, White Leo, and Quetzalcoatlus Vistamps are the only recolors of existing Vistamps.
**The White Leo and Quetzalcoatlus Vistamps represent the super forms of the Rider that the original Vistamps are based on.
**The Condor Vistamp represents an alternate Rider identity assumed by the person who normally becomes the primary Rider.
*The following Vistamps are retooled from other Vistamps.
**The Neo Batta Vistamp is retooled from the Batta Vistamp.
**The Elephant Proto Vistamp is retooled from the Mammoth Proto Vistamp.
**The Shark Proto Vistamp is retooled from the Megalodon Proto Vistamp.
**The Mandrill Proto Vistamp is retooled from the Kong Proto Vistamp.
**The Fifty Gale Vistamp is retooled from the Thunder Gale Vistamp.
**The Crimson Vail Vistamp is retooled from the Rolling Vistamp. In-universe, this is because the Crimson Vail Vistamp was developed using the Rolling Vistamp as a basis.
**The Gold Spino Vistamp is a retooled version of the Barid Rex Vistamp. The similarity between the Vistamps is acknowledged by Vice.
*The Tyrannosaurus Rex is currently the animal with the most Vistamps based on it, at six.
*The Rafflesia Proto Vistamp is the only Vistamp to be based on a plant instead of an animal.
*So far, the Volcano, Rolling, and Crimson Vail Vistamps are the only Vistamps without an animal basis. However, they feature special Genomic Stampers.
**The Volcano Vistamp still bears a Tyrannosaurus-themed Genomic Stamper, similar to that of Barid Rex.
**The Rolling Vistamp's Genomic Stamper resembles Vice's face. 
**The Crimson Vail Vistamp's Genomic Stamper bears markings similar to those on Vail's face.
*When another Vistamp is stamped onto the top of the Barid Rex Vistamp for a finisher, it is announced by a unique name usually formed by a portion of the animal's name stated twice:
*Rex: 
*Eagle: 
*Mammoth: 
*Megalodon: 
*Ptera: 
*Lion: 
*Jackal: 
*Kong: 
*Kamakiri: 
*Brachio: 
*Bat: 
*Spider: 
*Cobra: 
*Batta: 
*Barid Rex/Rolling: 
*Volcano: 
*Toysaurus: 
*Other: 
*The DX Barid Rex Vistamp has a chance of triggering an extended version of Revi Barid Rex Genome's transformation announcement, which was later used in Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations.
*When used by a Kamen Rider, Proto Vistamps do not have a distorted voice.
*The Spider, Queen Bee, and Daiouika Proto Vistamps is are the only Proto Vistamps to be converted into regular Vistamps used by the main riders.
*The Queen Bee, Daiouika, Chameleon, and Planarian Proto Vistamp are the only Vistamps to drastically change their color schemes after being completed.
*The Cobra and Queen Bee Vistamps have matching orange marbling. Fittingly, both Vistamps are used by female Riders with similar Drivers.
*The Trooper Spider and Trooper Kuwagata Vistamps are matte red in the series, but the DX toys have transparent red plastic.
**Similarly, the Fifty Gale Vistamp has matte magenta in Kamen Rider Revice: Battle Familia, while the DX toy has transparent magenta plastic.
	
*The Giffard Rex Vistamp was originally leaked by Thailand retailer G&S Toy months before Ultimate Revice was announced. After it became apparent, the retailer quickly removed it from their website only hours later.
*The Perfect Wing Vistamp's Genomic Stamper is unique, as all other Vistamps use the gaps in the stamp face to form the image whereas the Perfect Wing Vistamp uses the stamp face itself. In addition, the underside of the Perfect Wing Vistamp is completely black while other Vistamps have a second color.
*The Fifty Gale Vistamp's name is a reference to how contains the kanji for and , the latter of which is also on the front of the Vistamp and its Genomic Stamper.
*While the Twin Chimera and Tri Chimera Vistamps are separate in-series, the DX version of the Twin Chimera Vistamp is converted to the Tri Chimera Vistamp by attaching an additional piece. Holding down the activation button allows the Vistamp to change between the two modes.
*With the exception of Vistamps being used by different Drivers, the Bat and Queen Bee Vistamps are the only two Vistamps that have two different transformation announcements depending on the user.
**The Bat Vistamp is used by Kamen Riders Evil and Live.
**The Queen Bee Vistamp is used by Kamen Riders Aguilera and Dark Aguilera.
*The Kraken Vistamp is the only Vistamp to be based on a mythical animal.
**However, the kraken is closely associated with the real-life giant squid, which the Daiouika Proto Vistamp is based on.
