## History

Kasumiken Enka was originally forged by the blacksmiths of the Sword of Logos, given to the Oie Kingdom alongside several other Seiken as thanks for assisting them in the translation of the Great Book's writing. It possesses a strong affinity with the Screech Bat Wonder Ride Book, which led to Howard Cella using the two together as Kamen Rider Engarde. He originally possessed the Meiro no Minotaur and Gingerbread Race Wonder Ride Books, which he used to access his Terrifying Bat form as his primary fighting form. He would lose them during a humiliating defeat at the hands of **Kraitta** during the Megid's invasion of Oie Castle. Howard would give up his role as the Sand Swordsman following this defeat, but was ordered to take up his Seiken to train Sarah Page and assist her in fighting the Megid's return.

## Functionality

### Transformation

To transform, the user inserts one to three Wonder Ride Books into the corresponding slots on the belt and pulls out the sword.

When transforming into his base form, Screech Bat, Engarde appears in a library caught in a sandstorm. He performs three slashes in the shape of a "Z" before a bat released from the Wonder Ride Book circles around him and forms armor, with the slashes forming the visor, completing the transformation. Transforming with more than one Wonder Ride Book results in other constructs being released from the additional books and forming special armor around the corresponding section of the body.

### Finisher

There are five ways to activate a finisher with the Sabakuken Ryusha:

1. Pulling the trigger on the sword twice while it's docked in the Swordriver.
2. Pulling the trigger on the sword and pulling it out.
3. Scanning up to three Wonder Ride Books on the sword's tip and pulling the trigger.
4. Docking the sword into the left-hand Hissatsuholder, pulling the trigger, and pulling it back out.
5. Scanning the **Beastly Booster** or **Megabat Booster** on the sword's tip and pulling the trigger.
