Flying Smash

**Flying Smash**(フライングスマッシュ *Furaingusumasshu*) is a hawk-based Smash from Episode 3 of Kamen Rider Build.

## Personality

The Flying Smash seems to act more out of instinct as it will set it’s sight to attack it’s targets but will immediately face against any opponent it comes across.

## Appearance

The Flying Smash has a slim, metal-plated, lower body half with a gray/black color-scheme. It has a slim upper body with a red/dull white color-scheme while having a gray-colored chest. It has a white, featureless face with a grille in place for the eyes and the top of the head is red-colored with wing-like fins sticking out on each side, giving it the appearance of a space ship-like hat. It also is equipped with large flat, wing-like arms that hold white four-fingered claws with green palms.

## Biography

### Borderline of Justice

During Sento and Banjo’s investigation on a man named Nabeshima, the one who set up Banjo on being framed and the one who sent him to be experimented on, with some help from Sawa and Misora, they’re suddenly alerted about a Smash sighting at an area. Once at the reported area, Sento finds a little boy being attacked by the Smash, called the Flying Smash, as she keeps swooping through the air trying to attack the boy. Sento immediately shoots her down and transforms into Kamen Rider Build RabbitTank Form. Build starts fighting off the Flying Smash as Sawa arrives and gets the boy into a safe distance. After Build changes into his GorillaSoujiki Form, the Flying Smash flies up to the sky in order to retreat, but Build uses the vacuum on his arm to suck the Smash toward him and he then uses his gorilla fist to slam her to the ground. However, when Sawa ends up distracting Build, as she was recording his fight with her camera, the Flying Smash jumps back up and knocks Build down. Build gets back up and switches the Soujiki Fullbottle with the Diamond Fullbottle to change into his GorillaMond Form. The Flying Smash flies straight at Build and shoots out laser projectiles from her wings and head fins. Fortunately, Build activates his Vortex Finish and uses the power from his Diamond Fullbottle to turn the projectiles into a big diamond before they could even hit him and shields himself from the rest of the projectiles. He then uses his gorilla fist to smash the diamond into pieces and sends them straight at the Flying Smash, pelting her with multiple diamonds until the Smash eventually bursts into green flames. With the Smash weakened, Build takes out an empty Fullbottle and extracts the Smash essence out of the human host, revealing a woman, named Reika Kine, who was the little boy’s mother.

## Trivia

* While Flying Smash bares no real resemblance to it’s motif, hawk,(with exceptions for it’s wing arms) it’s design was made to hide the motif without directly inserting it in. This was done in order to bring out the unexpectedness of the Taka Fullbottle that was created from her purified essence.
* The Flying Smash’s lower body half is reused from the Needle Smash’s lower body half, only now repainted.
