From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Riotroopers (or Riot Troopers) are a para-military force of henchmen from the Japanese tokusatsu show Kamen Rider 555 and the accompanying film Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost. They are in the employ of the villain organization, Smart Brain, and are a personal army that fought against the title character Kamen Rider Faiz and his allies. As the show uses the Greek Alphabet as a motif, Omnicron (O) is their greek symbol. Their data is derived from Kamen Rider Faiz with some modifications for mass production purposes, which results in the suits resemblance to a simplified Faiz. Both sets of troopers, in the series and in the movie, were destroyed by Faiz Accel Form. In the TV Series, they were destroyed by the Faiz Accel's Accel Sparkle Cut; and in the "Paradise Lost" movie, they were destroyed by Faiz Accel's Accel Crimson Smash.

The Riot Troopers (or Rio Troopers) buckle, the Smart Buckle, was created by Hanagata. There were six belts made to protect the Orphenoch King, but Hanagata said that the belts could also destroy him if they can protect him. Naoya Kaidō (the Snake Orphenoch) was originally made as leader of the Riot (Rio) Troopers until he found out that Yuji Kiba, the person who gave him the Smart Buckle, was planning to attack Mari and the gang. This made Kaidō quit being a Riot Trooper because he felt Yuji has lost his belief in protecting humanity. Kaido, with the help of Mihara, tried to take them out themselves, but were defeated. Takumi intervened and crushed them all.

The Smart Buckles are mass produced (approximately 10,000). Their purpose is to exterminate any human resistance that oppose the Orphenoch race. They attacked the human sanctuary led by Kamen Rider Psyga until Yuji, Yuka, and Naoya intervened. They were then sent to hunt Mari and Takumi, where Takumi regained his memory as Faiz, then henshin to protect Mari from them. When they are knocked out of the Riot Trooper form, they transform back to their Orphenoch form.

The Riot Trooper henshin in the television series differs from the one in "Paradise Lost" movie.

• TV Series: The troopers scream "Henshin!" Then, the Smart Brain Logo on the buckle, which is connected to the belt and sticking out vertically, is inserted when being pushed forward into the belt.

• Paradise Lost: Instead of pushing over the buckles to start transformation, the Troopers touch a pad on their right shoulder after saying "Henshin!" Before the full transformation begins, the trooper's Orphenoch outline appears before becoming a Riot Trooper.

• Gyro Attacker - The Riot Trooper's motocycle, which is based of the data of Faiz's SB-555V "Auto Vajin" and mass produced by Smart Brain for the Riot Trooper Army's mode of transport. However, unlike Auto Vajin, this bike does not have a Robot "Battle Mode" Form. It is installed with a Brains Generation Light 320 Horsepower Engine.

• Axel Ray Gun - The weapon resembles Kamen Rider G3's GK-06 Unicorn Combat Knife. The weapon itself is based off of Faiz's Phone Blaster and Faiz Edge; consisting of a Blaster Mode and Blade Mode. The weapon itself can be stored in the handle bar of the Gyro Attack or in the trooper's left holster. It is unclear if it possesses an EXCEED CHARGE.

• In the TV series, their civilian uniform resembles Men In Black agents. While in "Paradise Lost", they resembled a traditional military unit.

• The Lion Orphenoch (from "Paradise Lost") was the only orphenoch to get hit out of his suit.

• They seem to possess no Smart Brain number. It cannot be "000" because that number belongs to Kamen Rider Orga.

• They are the first set of "Rider-like" soldiers, the next set of those type of soldiers are the ZECT Troopers from Kamen Rider Kabuto. However, some may dispute that the Alternatives are "Rider-like", as well. Other powers that are deemed "Rider-like" include, Electro Wave Human Tackle, The Victory One System from Kamen Rider Agito, and The Oni Armor from Kamen Rider Hibiki.

• Suit actor, Makoto Ito, plays one of the TV Series' Riot Troopers (particularly, Naoya's replacement) in Kamen Rider 555, he would go on to play Daisuke Danda, better known as Kamen Rider Danki, in Kamen Rider Hibiki.

• The Riot Tropper is the only known case of a Rider originally created for a Kamen Rider movie but that latter was introduced in the TV series.

• Eternal Masked Rider
