Claudia Balduina

## Power Rider Durian Cutter

Claudia Balduina is a character in Power Rider Citrus Slasher, not choosing a side at first. She transforms into Power Rider Durian Cutter.

## History

### Pre-Series

Prior to the events of the series, Claudia was a Navy SEAL who later resigned from being a marine to an assassin for hire, but she later resigned and tried her best to find some peace by working as a pattisier. She later earned famous and outstanding awards for her baking and dreamed of moving to America to help start a business there. However, when she arrives, she noticed that there was disgust around the people and everything that despised her dreadfully.

### TBA Arc

After hearing the commotion of a team inside her new bakery, she sees who it was and weakens them by stealing their War Culminating Driver and Armor Unlocker, thus trying to eliminate the disgust of the foul odor that spread around the city as she became Power Rider Durian Cutter.

## Forms

As with all the Citrus Slasher Riders, Durian Cutter’s forms are called Armors. Her personal Armor Unlockers are styled with a "(Adjective) (Noun)" theme.

* Armor Wear
* Durian
* Red Durian

The Armor Wear is Durian Cutter's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Durian Cutter's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when she changes Armors. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Armor that is descending down on the Rider.

The Armor Wear that Durian Cutter's War Culminating Driver has is easily identifiable through its TBA faceplate. The TBA only identifies what Armor Wear a War Culminating Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the TBA or Personal Usage Joint.

**Rider Statistics**:

* **Rider Height**: 210 cm
* **Rider Weight**: 125 kg

**Ability Parameters**:

* **Punching Power**: 12.4 t
* **Kicking Power**: 16.7 t
* **Maximum Jump Height**: 27 m
* **Maximum Running Speed**: 100 m per 5.9 seconds

**Durian Armor** is Durian Cutter's durian-based default form. Accessed through the Durian Armor Unlocker, this form bears the TBA helmet with the TBA visor. This form debuts in episode 6.

While assuming Durian Armor, Durian Cutter dons the TBA and her Arms Weapon is the Duri Saws.

Out of all the Citrus Slasher Riders' main forms, Durian Cutter is the strongest. As listed above, her punching and kicking power exceed that of Melon Slicer's Melon Armor. Adding to her versatility, her jumping height is only 1 m shorter than Citrus Slasher's Orange Armor, and has the exact running speed with Orange Armor, despite her bulky armor. She even can lift metal scaffolding with nothing but her bare hands, and is even seen somewhat keeping up with the TBA and Watermelon Armor's Big Ball Mode, though she was somewhat exhausted from the long run. Durian Cutter is later further strengthened when her War Culminating Driver is replaced with an updated, refined model.

Claudia loses access to this form in a battle against TBA, resulting in the destruction of her Durian Armor Unlocker and War Culminating Driver.

This Armor has two Rider Shooting finishing attacks.

* War Culminating Driver finishers:
	+ **TBA**: Durian Cutter activates the TBA function on her TBA and emits a wave of energy from the comb on her helmet, then swings her head around and slashes forward into her target.
		- This finisher has a variation in the form of a technique called **TBA**, where Durian Cutter would jump into the air, make her Durian Armor fold into its Armor Part form at the peak of the jump, then fire an energy version of it at the target.
	+ **TBA**: Durian Cutter activates the TBA function on her War Culminating Driver and swings her TBA at the opponent, launching lime green durian-shaped energy spheres with every swing. A stronger variation exists where she charges a giant durian-shaped energy sphere and swings it at the opponent. It can also be done in an energy slash fashion.

**Appearances:** Citrus Slasher Episodes TBA

**Red Durian Armor**

"*TBA*"
—Transformation announcement[src]
**Red Durian Armor** is Durian Cutter's red durian-based final form. Accessed through the Red Durian Armor Unlocker, this form bears the TBA helmet with the TBA visor.

Durian Cutter gets corrupted by a plant from TBA and transformed into this form. Her Arms Weapon is the Red Duri Saws, a twisted version of the original Duri Saws.

Despite being a final form for Durian Cutter, due to being possessed, she goes berserk and attacks anyone in sight like a mindless beast, having no control over the form whatsoever.

The negative effects were stopped after Acorn Smasher defeats her and reverts her transformation, but it is currently unknown if this form will affect Claudia if she transforms into this form the proper way.

This Armor's finisher is an unnamed slash: After Durian Cutter activates her TBA's TBA function, she charges her TBA with black, red and lime green durian-shaped energy, then delivers a powerful slash to the enemy. This attack is powerful enough to destroy Acorn Smasher's Acorn Armor Unlocker, shattering it to pieces.

This Armor is exclusive to *TBA*.
