Raise Buckles

are belt buckle-like devices used by the Riders in Kamen Rider Geats.
==Overview==
Every Raise Buckle has a unique method of activation when used in the Desire Driver. They are found in Mission Boxes during games, either randomly placed in the game area or as rewards for completing objectives. The Raise Buckle a Rider is currently using will often be left behind if they are defeated. When a Desire Grand Prix ends, all Raise Buckles return to the management's possession
There are two main types of Raise Buckle that differ in size.https://cocreco.kodansha.co.jp/telemaga%2Fnews/feature/BJhz3?page=2 Larger Raise Buckles equip a Rider with full armor on either their upper or lower half, depending on which side of the Desire Driver it is on. These forms have unique abilities and are often armed with a unique weapon. Generally, only one copy of a certain Raise Buckle will appear during the course of an entire Desire Grand Prix, with the main exception being the Feverslot Buckle.
Smaller Raise Buckles equip the Rider with only sparse armor and do not affect the user's abilities, but arms them with a corresponding Raise Weapon. They are typically used in the right-hand slot of the Desire Driver to equip the Rider's upper half, but can also be used on the other side while retaining the Raise Weapon. These Raise Buckles are quite common, as multiple copies of one can appear during a single round.
Legend Rider Raise Buckles are a type of smaller Raise Buckle that are based on the transformation belts of Legend Riders. Unlike other Raise Buckles, they do not have unique activation methods, as each is activated by pressing the face of the Raise Buckle. They equip the user with armor based on the Legend Rider and equip them with the Rider's weapon. When Kamen Rider Revi used his own Raise Buckle, he was instead transformed into his base form, with the Desire Driver being replaced by his Revice Driver.
==Functionality==
A user equipped with a Desire Driver inserts one or two Raise Buckles into either slot of the driver, and activates the Buckle's activation functionality, initiating the transformation and equipping the user with the specific Raise Buckle's upper/lower armor.
According to Ace Ukiyo, each Core ID has a Large-type Raise Buckle that is most compatible with it. For example, Geats is most compatible with the Magnum Buckle, and Buffa is the most compatible with the Zombie Buckle.
When utilizing a finisher in either the Desire Driver, Magnum Shooter 40X, or Geats Buster QB9, the user activates the Raise Buckle's functionality.
