Arcle

The is Kamen Rider Kuuga's transformation belt. 
== Overview ==
An ancient belt created by the Linto Tribe, it is capable of strengthening its wearer and create a biological armor for them to use in combat, but is only usable to those with a righteous heart to prevent abuse of the belt's power. Originally used by the ancient Kuuga, Riku, it was inherited by Yusuke Godai in the year 2000 when he was attacked by Xu·Gmun·Ba, with the belt immediately fused into his body after he put it on. 
When he transforms, it reappears around his waist and is always the same color as his current form. A stone embedded in the belt, called , is the source of Kuuga's power and is able to extend the lifespan of a person. The Amadam is also present on Daguva, the Gouram, and Gamio as well.
When Kuuga is imbued with the Golden Power and upgrades into his Rising forms, the forms over the Arcle, causing the Amadam to transform into a golden color. When Kuuga transforms into his Ultimate forms, the Rising Arcle Armor upgrades even further into the . In this state, the Amadam turns black, while the rectangular tiles that line horizontally across the belt turn silver.
A prototype Arcle was also created, but it lacked the Amadam, which keeps the user from going berserk. Mika Natsume discovered this Arcle and became the second Kuuga in the novel.
When Yusuke asked Sakurako the meaning of the symbols on the Arcle's sides, Sakurako said that it translates to "power".
===User Restriction===
Only the first one to take the belt can become Kamen Rider Kuuga and keep it until the user's death. Which happened with the Ancient Warrior, with Daguva forcing the Arcle out of his body, leaving fatal injuries and leading to his death, before Yusuke wearing it.

==Amadam==
The Amadam was, as Sakurako Sawatari found in the Rinto scriptures, powered by the user's will and would corrode a weak user. Goma went berserk when an unrefined fragment of Daguva's Amadam was forced directly into his body. Gouram's Amadam reacts to Kuuga that if its master's will becomes clouded with power (referring to the ancient Rinto inscription: "when the holy spring dries up"), Gouram will start to crumble and be reduced to dust. Additionally, the Amadam also acts as a stabilizer to the bearer in order to prevent them from going berserk due to the power of Arcle as seen when the first user, later Mika, went out of control due to lack of this stone on their Arcle.
== History ==
===World of Kuuga===
In this world the Arcle was given to Yusuke Onodera by Narutaki. It is unknown if the Ultimate Darkness sealed in the tomb was the true leader of the Gurongi, or if it was this world's first Kuuga, as the belt was found near his sealed remains.
