【Kamen Rider 555】 Voice input triggers the standby sound! The DX Delta Driver is coming, featuring “Fire!” and “Check!” voice activation commands!

When you pick up the “DX Delta Driver,” the first thing you’ll notice is a unique aura that says, “This isn't like other belts.” The specification where the standby sound is triggered by voice input rather than buttons creates a sensation of “operating a device” rather than just playing with a toy. The sequence of giving a vocal command and receiving a response goes beyond simple operation, making it feel as if you are interacting with the system itself—which is incredibly fascinating.

This item is based on the transformation belt from Kamen Rider 555, serving as the core of the Delta Gear—a piece of equipment that stood out even within the show. The flow of loading the Delta Phone into the Delta Mover and setting it into the belt faithfully follows the series. It’s designed not just as a replica, but to let you “experience the procedure itself.” Following the specific steps to complete the transformation naturally deepens the sense of immersion.

While the operation is simple—such as shouting “Fire!” to enable gunplay—the resulting breadth of play is surprisingly wide. Depending on the timing of your voice and the combination of movements, the same gimmick can feel different, ensuring it remains engaging even after repeated play. Furthermore, attaching the Mission Memory transforms it into Pointer Mode; the sequence of giving the “Check” command followed by the trigger to activate a finisher feels like executing a tactical combat maneuver.

In the show's lore, the Delta Driver is positioned as the “first-ever developed transformation belt,” which is why it possesses many traits distinct from subsequent drivers. It’s interesting how these “prototype quirks” are reflected in the toy. The unique operational feel and specs, which aren't overly polished, create a sense of realism—not as a “perfected piece of equipment,” but as a “product of trial and error.”

With its release as part of the SUPER BEST series, it’s worth noting that while its core appeal remains, it has become even easier to play with. Because it’s a long-beloved item, its level of perfection makes you feel “this belt truly is special” the moment you hold it again. It offers fresh surprise for newcomers and a blend of nostalgia and re-discovery for those who played with it in the past.

The charm of this belt can't be told through looks or features alone. At its core is an “experiential fun” that only comes alive when you actually speak, move your hands, and feel the response. By having your own voice act as the trigger for transformation and attacks, a sense of unity is born that transcends mere play. Before you know it, you’ll realize you aren’t just operating a device—you’re playing a role.
