Ribbit

Human

**Ribbit** is an audience member of the Grand Battle Royal and Clay Murphy's supporter, transforming into **Power Rider Beast F**.

## History

### Background

Ribbit was born sometime in the distant future and became an audience member of the Grand Battle Royal, having acquired a Bullet Core Gunner in the process. He began supporting Clay Murphy through the usage of a statue frog that amplified his voice due to his physical unavailability for unknown reasons, and supplied the Boost Buckle to the young man multiple times.

### Divergence Arc

Ribbit's frog made its first on-screen appearance during the Burai Ball game where he provided Clay access to the Sword Airship Buckle via secret mission. When Ribbit invited Clay to his audience room to talk to him personally he has showed his disappointment in Clay for not utilizing the Blast Module he provided him in previous games.

Later, Ribbit made a physical appearance alongside Aito and Stan to fight against Vein.

## Personality

Ribbit seems to be a level-headed person, as he seems to be interested and faithful in Clay as his supporter, even to the point like giving him the Blast Module before doing his mission multiple times. However, he won't hesitate to call out Clay when his performance disappoints him, such as being overly trusting and getting himself backstabbed by Bridget Banks for it. Despite being a supporter to a different rider, Ribbit can be friendly to other supporters like Stan.

When he physically shows up, Ribbit tends to make exaggerated movements. Additionally, whenever someone asks who he is, Ribbit just responds with him being "him" without giving any context.

Power Rider Beast F is accessed by inserting the Beast F Core Gunner Card in the Bullet Core Gunner.

Compared to Fan, Beast F has lower running speed and punching power, but higher kicking power and max jump height. Being themed after a frog, Beast F can deploy a green energy whip-like tongue from his mouth to attack enemies.

Power Rider Beast F consists of the following parts:

* **Beast F TBA**: The head.
	+ **TBA**: The compound eyes. The simultaneous deployment of multiple views makes it possible to constantly check the trends of supported target.
	+ **TBA**: The input device. It is equipped with a function that reads the "*TBA*", the power possessed by the Rider to produce and coordinate their ideal self, and transmits this information to the TBA, a design device for output on the abdomen.
	+ **Beast F TBA**: The audio output device. Equipped with a function to convert the intentions of the Rider into voice, communication between Power Riders is achieved by voice chat.
	+ **Beast F TBA**: The tongue. It can catch objects at a distance by deploying a stretchable tongue that has the property of adsorbing to any material.
* **TBA**: The output device. The information read by the TBA, a design device for input in the head, is output as the Power Rider's ability.
* **TBA**: The armor, composed of cubic Meta Materials, provides excellent shock absorption due to its flexibility to expand and contract approximately 1,000 times. This makes even a direct hit from a tank gun nearly ineffective.
* **TBA**: The four legs. It has a structure that extends and strengthens the frog-shaped legs through the TBA of the Rider, and produces tremendous leg strength according to their intention. Among other things, when the Rider's joyful emotions reach their peak, he will perform a great jump of over 100 meters.
* **TBA**: The nail device. Equipped with the property of adsorbing to all kinds of materials, it can traverse in all directions even in situations where there are many structures such as forests and buildings.

## Behind the Scenes

### Portrayal

Ribbit is portrayed by Mitsutoshi Shundo (俊藤 光利, *Shundō Mitsutoshi*), who previously portrayed Yukihiro Ohno in *Kamen Rider W Returns: Kamen Rider Accel* and Makoto Shido in *Kamen Rider Amazons*. Kamen Rider Ribbit is not portrayed by a traditional suit actor, but rather generated using on-screen CGI.

### Etymology

Ribbit's name comes from **Kerakera** (ケラケラ, ***Kerakera***), a Japanese onomatopoeia for laughter.

## Notes

* Kamen Rider Ribbit's CGI model is modified from Kamen Rider Shinobi's Kurogane Oogama, coincidentally matching Tycoon's ninja motif.
* Ribbit is the first Kamen Rider with a frog motif. As such, he is the only DGP supporter whose animal motif does not match that of the Rider he supports.
	+ However, both the tanuki and frogs are associated with ninjas in popular culture.
