Ixa Belt

<tabber>
1=
The is a necessary piece of equipment for the Ixa System. In conjunction with the Ixa Knuckle, the Belt lets the user transform to Ixa. It also stores the Fuestles designed for the Ixa Rider System. Unlike Kamen Rider Kiva, the ones who become Ixa are seen to manually put the belt on themselves. The way a user wears the belt varies; Jiro tends to wear it with the Fueslots attached while Otoya wore it on his first two occasions (against Jiro) without them. Every other time after that, Otoya had the Fueslots attached.
==Design==
The Ixa Belt consists of the following parts:
* - Red lights that flash above and below the Ixa Belt when the Ixa Knuckle is attached. it indicates that the Ixa knuckle is accessing the Ixa Belt's internal disk system. The Access Lamp turns off whenever an abnormality occurs.
* - A reading device used to identify the Fuestle inserted into it, read its information, and send a signal to activate its function.
* - An energy generator built into the Ixa Belt's strap. It amplifies the electrical power needed to generate Ixa's suit tens of times.
* - The huge red circular button used to remove the Ixa Belt from the wearer after use.
==Functionality==
Ixa does not have forms as the biologically/mystically powered Kiva does, but instead has three Modes as he uses a . Ixa's default mode is and can transform into where the faceplate that covers Ixa's eyes in Save Mode open up. The system would later receive a final form known as Rising Ixa, which initially required the use of the Ixariser until the last update would bypass the transition from Burst Mode to Rising Mode completely.
Although the was present in 1986, it had only Save Mode as Burst Mode was still in development. As such, technical problems were frequent like the armor shooting out steam, a constant beeping, a different tone of voice for the Ixa Belt, a bronze projection for the Ixa System's transformation and the availability of only one Fuestle: the Knuckle Fuestle. The Proto Ixa exhausts a qualified person's body considerably even if they are not human, as the System still managed to harm Jiro despite being a Wolfen, and it harmed Otoya to the point of total memory loss. Ixa has been continuously updated since 1986 and with the tenth model used until it is upgraded to the eleventh model with a new mode.
Both Ver.X and Ver.XI have a golden projection of the Ixa System instead of the original's bronze color. A total of six Fuestles are available to the user as well as a new weapon: Ixa Calibur. It does not exhaust the user's body like the prototype, though any other side effects are still unknown.
A final upgrade would allow a user to transform into through a blue projection, bypassing Burst Mode.
The difference between the past/Ver. I (1986) and the present/Ver. X-XI (2008 - onwards) version of IXA's are that Fueslots:
*The first version only have IXA Knuckles Fuestle due to Ixa Calibur and Ixariser still being developed, while they were still studying data about the Kiva families' Arms Monsters weapons since Otoya's first fight as Ixa against the original Dark Kiva.
*As the development of new Fuestles and weapons are completed, current versions, starting with Ver. X are now equipped with Ixa Calibur weapon and its Fuestle, along with Arms Monsters Fake Fuestles. As for Ixariser and its Fuestle's developments, they were accessed with Ver. XI in around mid-2008.

==History==
While the Ixa System is promised to Yuri Aso, Jiro is the first user of the System in 1986, using it to save Yuri from the Earwig Fangire. It is initially meant for Yuri to use as she sees it as a memento of her late mother, but after learning of its flaws and seeing Jiro's resolve, Yuri allows him to keep the Ixa System.
When he learns of Jiro's plans, Otoya Kurenai takes the Ixa System to fight Jiro as its second user. After Basshaa's intervention between Jiro and Otoya, Jiro once again acquires the Ixa System, using it to fight the Lion Fangire Rook in revenge for the slaughter of the Wolfen Clan. However, Otoya briefly regains the System after Rook defeats Jiro as Ixa, with he and Jiro arguing who is its rightful user soon after.
After Yuri's attempt to use the Ixa Knuckle, and Jiro leaving after revealing his true identity to her, Otoya becomes the official user of the Ixa System. After briefly being used by Rook, Otoya regains the belt and then lends it to Yuri to use against the Rook in battle, succeeding in wounding the Lion Fangire instead of the intended goal to kill him.
Although the system is returned to Otoya afterwards, Yuri steals it once more in her attempt to destroy Maya, the Fangire Queen, out of jealousy.
During Yuri's third attempt to destroy Maya, the King of Fangire, Dark Kiva, interfered and forces Yuri to retreat. Otoya uses the system to battle Dark Kiva, but is defeated easily and held captive within Castle Doran. He is rescued by Yuri and uses the system to defeat the Silkmoth Fangire.
Otoya would use the Ixa system one final time to battle the Bat Fangire in a beach-side battle, but he is again overpowered and the armor is damaged severely with its destroyed arm landing in the lake.
Over time, the Ixa System is retrieved and perfected, with Keisuke Nago eventually becoming the system's main user in 2008. Portions of its armor remained at the site of the battle where it was shattered, with one gauntlet having lodged in a cliffside and saving Wataru when he caught hold of it after falling over the cliff.
