【Kamen Rider Drive】 Drive Driver and Shift Brace Set! LIMITED CLEAR EDITION!

2026-01-14
The transformation belt from “Kamen Rider Drive,” which caused a stir with the shocking idea of a “talking belt”—the Drive Driver. What we are introducing today is the “LIMITED CLEAR EDITION” from the “SUPER BEST” series, which includes both the Drive Driver and the Shift Brace. The standout feature is that parts of the exterior are molded in clear material, allowing you to visually enjoy the mechanical internal structure. Going beyond the realm of a mere toy, this specification allows you to appreciate the charm of the “internals” like a piece of precision machinery, making it irresistible for adult fans as well.
Interestingly, this Drive Driver is not just a piece of equipment; it is depicted in the series as an entity with its own “personality.” Eye-like expressions appear on the central display of the buckle, and the way it speaks to the user, Shinnosuke—sometimes strictly, sometimes warmly—makes it feel like an AI-powered buddy. Given how it supports, teaches, and helps Shinnosuke grow, it is easy to understand why it is affectionately called “Belt-san.” This depth as a “character,” rather than just a transformation gimmick, makes this belt a special existence.
Another reason for this item's popularity is its authentic “light” and “sound” gimmicks. Experiencing the “Advanced Ignition” by turning the key, as well as transformations and finishers activated in coordination with the Shift Brace—all in the same sequence as in the show—is the true thrill unique to this DX toy. Furthermore, by playing while imagining the scenes where the Drive Driver acts on its own will (e.g., the scene where it performs a Tire Exchange on behalf of a poisoned Shinnosuke), the experience is elevated into a “narrative experience” that goes beyond mere lights and sounds.
In the work, the Drive Driver is depicted with multi-functionality beyond mere weaponry, such as health management and life support, demonstrating a versatility that makes you want to call it a “support-type wearable device” rather than a transformation belt. Its role as a life-support system in Episode 33 fully showcases its reliability in saving a hero in a pinch. Also, the background setting that it even planned Shinnosuke's transfer to the Special Investigations Unit reveals a depth of tactical intelligence. Knowing this background, every time you look at the “internals” through the clear material, you feel as though you can sense Belt-san's very thoughts.
