The **Transformation Belt Decadriver** (変身ベルト ディケイドライバー, *Henshin Beruto Dikeidoraibā*) is a belt that gives Tsukasa Kadoya the ability to become Kamen Rider Decade, based around the Rider Cards. It was created alongside the Ride Booker, as well as Diend's Diendriver, by scientists of Dai-Shocker, which included Joji Yuki.

Decade returns in *Kamen Rider Zi-O* with an upgraded version of the Decadriver called the ​**Transformation Belt NeoDecadriver** (変身ベルト ネオディケイドライバー, *Henshin Beruto NeoDikeidoraibā*)​, which is colored solid magenta and bears the symbols of all 20 Heisei Riders minus Decade and Zi-O. This version can use the powers of all Heisei Riders up to Zi-O.

## History

 File:Decadriver and Ride Booker found.jpg
The Decadriver and Ride Booker were created for Tsukasa's use, having been the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker before losing his memory. 「*Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker*」 However, both items were abandoned and left to corrode before they were found by Natsumi Hikari amongst rubble during the destruction of the worlds. Recognizing them from her dream of Decade, she gave them to Tsukasa who was trapped in another dimension, with the items being restored as they passed through the dimensional wall. Taking the *Kamen Ride: Decade* card from the Ride Booker, Tsukasa inserted it into the Decadriver, transforming for the first time to defeat the rampaging monsters. 「*Rider War (episode)*」

## Design

The Decadriver is composed of the following parts:

* **Decadriver** (ディケイドライバー, *Dikeidoraibā*) - The central unit. When used, it reads the two-dimensional data sealed within a Rider Card and uses its power to manifest the armor parts and other materials in three-dimensional form. An internally located secret stone named **Trickster** (トリックスター, *Torikkusutā*) is responsible for creating the Rider suits.
* **Side Handles** (サイドハンドル, *Saido Handoru*) - The grips on either side of the Decadriver. When pulled they rotate the Decadriver, allowing Kamen Rider Decade to insert a Rider Card, and when pushed the driver is activated, releasing the energies stored within the Rider Card.
* **Six Element** (シックスエレメント, *Shikkusu Eremento*) - The six circular units, located three on each Side Handle. As the name implies, they contain the power of the six elements (in order from left to right): earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness. They act as the source of the Decadriver's power, giving it the ability to manifest the Rider Cards' data in physical form.
* **Riders' Crests** (ライダーズクレスト, *Raidāzu Kuresuto*) - The different Rider symbols imprinted onto the Decadriver. They are merely symbolic; a testimony to Kamen Rider Decade's ability to inherit the power of different Riders across different worlds.

The NeoDecadriver consists of the following parts:

* **Paraminate Belt** (パラミネートベルト, *Paraminēto Beruto*) - The belt. A pun on the words 'parallel' and 'laminate'. It is composed of special film laminates, each one having special properties (i.e. blade resistance, heat resistance, etc.) Usually stored within the NeoDecadriver when not in use.
* **Divine Side Handles** (ディヴァインサイドハンドル, *Divu~ain Saido Handoru*) - The grips on either side of the NeoDecadriver. Pulling on them causes the Neo Dimension Buckle to rotate, allowing the user to insert a Rider Card. Pushing on them releases the power of a loaded Rider Card. Compared to the first Decadriver, it has greater durability thanks to an ultra-fine particle coating **Divine Ore** (ディバインオレ, *Dibain Ore*).
* **Peridot Measure** (ペリドットメジャー, *Peridotto Mejā*) - The green data collection device located on the Neo Dimension Buckle . In addition to collecting information about surrounding environments, it can also collect information on time and space.
* **Neo Dimension Buckle** (ネオディメンションバックル, *Neo Dimenshon Bakkuru*) - The main mageneta unit. A machine within converts the two-dimensional energies sealed within a Rider Card into three-dimensional physical entities (such as armor and weapons). An internal secret stone named **Trickster** (トリックスター, *Torikkusutā*) is used as the power source for creating these three-dimensional entities.
* **World Finder** (ワールドファインダー, *Wārudo Faindā*) - The transparent lens located in the middle. When a Rider Card is inserted and scanned, a red light emitted by Trickster is shone.
* **Riders' Crests** (ライダーズクレスト, *Raidāzu Kuresuto*) - The 18 Rider symbols engraved on the Neo Dimension Buckle.
* **Six Element** (シックスエレメント, *Shikkusu Eremento*) - The six circular units, located three on each Side Handle. As the name implies, they contain the power of the six elements (in order from left to right): earth, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness. They act as the source of the Decadriver's power, giving it the ability to manifest the Rider Cards' data in physical form. On the original Decadriver the six elements are colored green, red, and blue, while on NeoDecadriver all six are magenta.

When Decade transform into Complete Form, a special attachment part will materialize on Decadriver's right slot. This attachment holds the card-reading unit when replaced by the K-Touch.

## Functionality

By inserting a card into the Decadriver, Decade can invoke the cards' abilities. In Complete Form, the Decadriver is moved to the right side of his belt where Decade inserts his Final Attack Ride Cards and activates them by touching the Decadriver's window.

As seen in *Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen*, along with Blade's Blay Rouzer and Ryuki's Dragvisor, the Decadriver is also compatible with at least some of the Gosei Cards used by the Tensou Sentai Goseiger. This is shown when he is given the Reflecloud card by Gosei Red to counter Kani Lazer's beam attack.

The NeoDecadriver gives Decade the ability to transform into his successors from Double to Zi-O, as well as letting him access all of a Rider's abilities without requiring a Form Ride, as seen when he uses Agito's Flame Saber while in Ground Form 「*Ghost Hunter 2018*」 and Wizard's water magic while in Flame Style. 「*Forever King 2018*」

## Form Changes

When Kamen Rider Decade transforms into the previous Nine Heisei Riders using the Kamen Ride Cards, he still appears sporting the Decadriver in the place of their respective belts, to use his various Attack Ride cards. However when he disguised himself as Kamen Rider Ichigo, the Decadriver took on the appearance of Rider 1's Typhoon belt, unlike other Kamen Rides where the Decadriver is still present. It changed back when the Decadriver/Typhoon was struck by Captain Marvelous as Akarenger. It is unknown if this is a property of the card itself or a yet-undemonstrated ability of Decade's. 「*Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen*」

## Jumbo Decadriver

In the summer film, Decade is transformed by a Final FormRide Card into the **Jumbo Decadriver** (ジャンボディケイドライバー, *Janbo Dikeidoraibā*), a larger version of the Decadriver which is worn by a Kamen Ride Card-summoned Kamen Rider J to transform into Decade Complete Form **Jumbo Formation** (ジャンボフォーメーション, *Janbo Fōmēshon*). This form is identical to the usual Complete Form, apart from the fact that Decade is now many times larger, and wears the Decadriver on the front of his belt, with no K-Touch.

The name of the Decadriver is misspelt as "Decaderiver" on this card.

## Behind the scenes

### Portrayal

The voice of the Decadriver (and Neo), as well as the Diendriver, K-Touch, and Rider Battle tournament announcer in *All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker*, is provided by Mark Okita (マーク・大喜多, *Māku Ōkita*).

### DX Decadriver's unused sound

The DX Decadriver has "FINAL RIDE", and "RIDE" announcements, none of the Rider Cards released can activate these sounds.

### Complete Selection Modification Decadriver's unused sounds

Released in March 2015, the CSM Decadriver contains newly-recorded transformation sounds for Double, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim and Drive, as well as some of Diend's Rider Cards. While the Diend Cards foreshadowed the eventual release of the CSM Diendriver, the sounds for the later Heisei Riders could only be accessed by "hacking" the belt (such as creating fake "cards" by drawing or printing the barcodes onto a blank slip of paper) since proper Rider Cards were never released, until the eventual reveal of the official Rider Cards of Heisei Phase 2 Riders from Double to Zi-O, in which were included in the release of the DX version of NeoDecadriver. It is also possible to use the NeoDecadriver version of Kamen Ride cards from Double to Drive on the CSM Decadriver.

## Notes

* If the Showa Riders' cards, as well as the Skull card from the CSM Decadriver is used on the DX Neodecadriver, the transformation announcement is still retained. However, the transformation SFX of each Showa Rider of their respective cards (i.e., the Typhoon noises from 1 & 2), as well as Skull's, are omitted.
* If the final form cards are inserted in the DX NeoDecadriver, the belt will say the full name of the form "(name of final form)!" with the corresponding sounds and voice clips of Heisei Riders' final forms, unlike the CSM version where it only said the name of the final form.
* If the Form Ride and Attack Ride cards from CSM are inserted in the DX NeoDecadriver, the belt will say the corresponding Riders' name instead of the names of attacks and names of their forms.
* When inserting Diend's Kamen Ride card from the CSM Diendriver into the DX NeoDecadriver, it will play Diend's transformation sound from the CSM Diendriver.
* If the Secondary, Tertiary and Extra Riders' cards from the CSM Diendriver are inserted into the DX NeoDecadriver, the announcement will only say "Kamen Rider" instead of their corresponding Riders' names.
* While the original Decadriver would only play sound effects during a Kamen Ride transformation, the NeoDecadriver includes unique voice clips such as Kamen Rider Build's "Hagane no Moonsault!" voiced by KORBY. The DX NeoDecadriver demonstrates that this is a retroactive change, with the original nine Heisei Riders having extended transformation sounds that sometimes gain voice clips such as Faiz's "Complete!" voiced by Takehiko Kano or Kabuto's "Change: Beetle!" voiced by Surage Gajria.
* Ever since *Decade*, all Rider belts have been officially referred to as "Drivers". The only exception was the Mage's Belt in *Wizard* and the Mega Ulorder in *Ghost*.
	+ However, Faiz was the first Rider to use the term of "Driver". In this case, the SB-555B Faiz Driver.
* There are no sounds added for the NeoDecadriver influencing Kamen Rider Zero-One and its Rider Cards.
