==Notes==
*Melon Arms' transformation announcement is based on tenka gomen, the Japanese term for the concept of the Mandate of Heaven; it is also a pun on "tenga" (瓜), the Japanese word for melon.
*Despite the Melon Arms being Zangetsu's standard form, it was only utilized a few times throughout Kamen Rider Gaim, due to Takatora abandoning his Sengoku Driver for a Genesis Driver early in the show, and briefly reappeared only to be destroyed by Mitsuzane after having stolen his brother's Genesis Driver.
*In Fresh Orange Arms is Born!, both Baron and Ryugen turn down this form because:
**Baron claimed that he doesn't need a giant shield and that he only needs to attack in battle.
***Coincidentally, in Gaim Gaiden the weapon that he uses when he assumes Ringo Arms is a shield, along with a sword.
**Ryugen felt embarrassed to use the same form that his brother uses.
***Coincidentally, Mitsuzane was able to assume the Zangetsu Shin form, another rider form that Takatora uses.
