**Black Turtle Legend** is Strife's turtle-based primary form accessed by using the Black Turtle Legend Fragment Tale in the Earth Master Sword Fierce Earth.

Compared to Story Keeper and Roaring Wave, Strife has higher punching power and kicking power than the two, but due to its heavy armor, his running speed and maximum jump height is significantly low.

Black Turtle Legend consists of the following parts:

* **Turtle Helmet**: The helmet.
	+ **Sword Crown**: The blade on the forehead. It is installed on the top of the head as a proof of being selected by a Sacred Sword. It has the role of adjusting the state of Power Rider Strife and the Sacred Sword, and adjusts the power balance between them and cancels transformation in an emergency. It is also a blade with a sharp edge, and can also be used in battle.
	+ **Earth Visor**: The visor. It allows the user to gaze at those who oppress the weak.
	+ **Pivot Rock**: The audio protectors. It stabilizes the the body's position and functions as a motion balancer that suppresses the loss of behaviour and attacks when maneuvering a large sword or performing a high-power attack.
	+ **Turtle Mask**: The facial armor. It is covered with armor that protects the user from all kinds of disasters, with the power of the Divine Beast, the "**Tortoise**". In addition, he is good at head-butting by taking advantage of its hardness.
* **Warring God Shell**: The chest armor. The armor that protects the user from all kinds of attacks, which has the power of the Divine Beast, the "**Tortoise**", which solidifies the whole body. Furthermore, by arranging the "Rigid Turtle Shell" generator in each joint, increasing the user's durability.
* **Sacred Robe**: The suit granted by the user of the Holy Sword "Earth Master Sword Fierce Earth". It is attached at the same time as the awakening of the Holy Sword, and gives the user the power to fight such as improving sword skills, strengthening physical abilities, and activating special abilities. Based on the form with the power of the Fragment Tale "**Black Turtle Legend**", various abilities can be added by additionally scanning the Fragment Tale.
* **Rockarms**: The arms. The role is different between the right side, which specializes in swashbuckler attacks, and the left side, which supports it and provides stronger defense. In addition, the armor "Sacred Robe" enhances the physical strength and the overwhelming power generated by the cylindrical rigidity generator "**Rigid Turtle Shell**" makes it possible to handle heavyweight swords that are difficult to handle.
* **Rockgloves**: The gloves. Holds the handle of the Holy Sword firmly by strengthening the user's grip strength. It also functions as an ability transmission road that connects the Sacred Sword and the "Sacred Robe" to convey the power of the Sacred Sword and the abilities of the Fragment Tale.
* **Rocklegs**: The legs. It makes various attacks by stepping on the ground powerfully like the Divine Beast, the "**Tortoise**" and stabilizing the upper body. In addition, the exterior of the armor "sacred robe" has been adjusted with the highest priority on durability in order to correspond to the battle style that emits high output, which is the specialty of Strife.
* **Rockboots**: The boots. It is heavily armored with the armor "**Warring God Shell**" and can handle any terrain. Also, when the Special Move is activated, it shoots a heavy blow like a giant mountain with the power of Fragment Tale.
* **Bladekeeper Fragment Holders**: Storage for extra Fragment Tales. Mounted on the back of the Bladekeeper Buckle, it can hold two books on the right and one on the left.

This form has two finishers:

* Rider Slash:**Grand Judgement Cut**: When Strife scans one book, Strife can execute a rider slash based on the book.
	+ **Black Turtle Legend**: Surrounding rocks gather onto the Earth Master Sword Fierce Earth, massively enlarging the sword and generating energy on the blade part allowing Strife to perform an enhanced downward / horizontal slash.
	+ **Spine Hedgehog**: A large quill forms around the Earth Master Sword Fierce Earth, massively enlarging the sword and generating electricity on the blade part allowing Strife to perform an enhanced blade thrust.
* Rider Kick:**Black Turtle Blaster**: Strife leaps into the air, and drops down with a kicking attack.
