The , more commonly referred to as the Sonic Arrow, is a bladed bow-like side weapon used primarily by any Kamen Rider who transforms using a fruit-based Class-S Energy Lockseed. Non fruit-based Class-S Energy Lockseeds provide an Arms Weapon instead.__TOC__
==Saver Arrow==
A variation of the Sonic Arrow named the is granted by the Genesis Core Unit Kamen Rider Saver used. It functions the same as a Sonic Arrow as shown in the DX Toyline and accepts Energy Lockseeds into its .
==Design==
The Sonic Arrow is composed of the following parts:
* - The grip.
* - The 'nock'/black handle. By pulling it, energy is supplied to the rest of the Sonic Arrow; when released, a safety device is released as well, letting an energy arrow fly.
* - The 'string'. It is a power assisting device that helps the Nocking Drawer. It also has a built-in shock absorber that absorbs any recoil when shooting.
* - A blue indication lamp located behind to the Energy Drive Bay (facing the user). It indicates the user as to when the Sonic Arrow is fully charged.
* - A slot where Energy (or regular) Lockseeds can be attached. Any Lockseed attached will supply power to the Sonic Arrow for finishing moves.
* - A red laser pointer mounted next to the Energy Drive Bay (facing outwards). As the laser will point straight ahead to the expected impact destination, the accuracy of shots will not falter even in the dark or when attempting to shoot a target far away.
* - The blue bladed sections. They are extremely sharp and can be used as regular blades in combat.
* - The blue 'arrow tip'. It is a launching device that shoots out energy arrows.
==Functionality==
The bow is a modernized bow with blades on the front of the bow, allowing its users to use it as a melee weapon. It features a laser point tracer to aid the user in landing important shots. Depending on the Energy Lockseed the user is equipped with, the Sonic Arrow can serve different purposes, serving a wide range of utility.
*Melon Energy Arms: Creates a melon that fires multiple arrows.
*Cherry Energy Arms: Either fires homing arrows or creates a cherry that can split into a rain of arrows.
*Peach Energy Arms: Unknown
*Lemon Energy Arms: Unknown
*Dragon Energy Arms: Fires an arrow followed by a dark red dragon.
Their Internal Finishers through the Genesis Driver and their Sonic Volley also vary.

== Finishers ==
Like the Musou Saber, by inserting an Energy Lockseed into the and locking it in place, the user can perform either a finishing attack or an unnamed Rider Slash finishing attack. The Sonic Arrow's damage output can be further enhanced by placing a non-Energy Lockseed into its Energy Drive Bay.
==Behind the scenes==
===Portrayal===
*The voice of Sonic Arrow and Saver Arrow are provided by .
==Notes==
*The Sonic Arrow's way of acting as a dual weapon is similar to Chalice's Chalice Arrow.
**Both weapons also have a slot to insert a device into in order to increase their attack power (Energy Lockseed in Sonic Arrow, Chalice Rouzer in Chalice Arrow).
*The Sonic Arrow has the most users compared to other Arms Weapons, with a total of six different suits and seven different characters.
**This is due to the fact that Energy Lockseeds grant the user with so much power that it sacrifices the ability to summon a normal Arms Weapon. The only exception to this is the nut-themed Energy Lockseeds like Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed, which instead equips the user with an upgraded version of the Kagematsu, and the Marron Energy Lockseed which instead equips the user with the Marron Bombers, either when being used to create a Jimber Arms form or used the full equipped Genesis Driver itself.
*Unique to all Riders who wield the Sonic Arrow, Baron wields his in a reverse grip, with the Lockseed Bay slot below his hand rather than above it.
*Although Gaim is never seen transformed into Jimber Melon Arms on-screen, when he summoned the Sonic Arrow in Kiwami Arms, the effect of the blast has Maskmelon shaped energy.
*Unlike Energy Lockseeds being incompatible with the Sengoku Driver on their own, normal Lockseeds can be used in this weapon. This was demonstrated with both the Banana Lockseed and the Orange Lockseed .
*In setting, Kiwami Arms can use all Arms Weapons. In May 2021, CSM Kiwami Lockseed added 17 kinds of Arms Weapons related sound effects that were not included before, including Saver Arrow.So in a sense, Kamen Rider Gaim Kiwami Arms is also a user of Saver Arrow, although it has not been shown anywhere.https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/rider/topics/detail/1873/?t=blog
