As the silver-and-red armored figure appeared on stream, countless viewers stared in disbelief—eyes wide, jaws slack.
But the person most shocked of all...
Was none other than Xu Jia, standing right next to Yuuto Kagami and witnessing the entire transformation up close.
He stood frozen in place.
Gazing at Kamen Rider Faiz, now fully transformed, Xu Jia's heart was overwhelmed with awe… and deep, bitter regret.
If he had just bought that belt a little earlier…
Then maybe he would be the one now standing in such a powerful, cool-looking form!
But almost as soon as the thought formed—
Xu Jia forced himself to shake it off.
Because he knew...
Even if he had bought the belt, he wouldn't have known how to transform in the first place.
"Maybe… this is what the old folks mean by, 'If it's mine, I'm lucky. If it's not, it's fate.'"
"Even if I didn't gain supernatural powers… I still got to witness this miracle firsthand."
Xu Jia clenched his fists, silently comforting himself.
When he looked again at Yuuto Kagami—now fully transformed into Faiz—his expression was calm.
Meanwhile, Yuuto Kagami had already finished adapting to the Faiz armor.
"As you can all see…"
"This is the power of a Rider's transformation belt!"
"After transforming, the user is equipped with a high-tech, exoskeletal battle suit, massively enhancing their physical capabilities and granting strength far beyond that of a normal human!"
Facing the camera, Yuuto Kagami displayed the armor from multiple angles, allowing the viewers to appreciate the sleek, metallic design and the iconic silhouette of Faiz.
Then he began to explain the base stats.
"This Faiz armor I'm wearing right now—"
"Base punching strength: 2.5 tons."
"Kicking force: over 5 tons!"
"Jumping height: 35 meters!"
"And sprinting speed? 100 meters in 5.8 seconds!"
"And if I use the Rider Kick finishing move—'Crimson Drill'—I can unleash over 17 tons of destructive force. Enough to pierce through tank armor with a single strike!"
As he explained, Yuuto Kagami began to demonstrate:
He threw punches, kicked, jumped, and sprinted in place.
The sheer power and speed of his movements made everyone watching the stream dizzy with awe.
: Gulp... 2.5-ton punches and 5-ton kicks?! That's insane!
: Jumping 35 meters? That's like leaping over a 10-story building!
: That speed though! 100m in 5.8 seconds? Fan-bro just blinked across the screen! Bolt would be eating his dust!
Just as everyone was still reeling from the basic stats—
Yuuto Kagami continued:
"And it's not just strength and speed."
"Faiz's defensive capabilities and other features are just as impressive."
"The helmet and chest armor are made of super-metals with hardness close to diamond—able to withstand direct hits from tank shells without a scratch!"
"The helmet's filtration system provides oxygen, so the user can operate in underwater, toxic, or oxygen-deprived environments with ease."
"As for sensory enhancements—"
"The nose functions like that of a dog, with a scent sensitivity a million times stronger than a human's!"
"And the ears? On max sensitivity, the user can hear a needle drop from 5 kilometers away—and they can control that sensitivity at will!"
"And remember—this is just the base form!"
"Faiz also has form upgrades through special equipment that dramatically increase his combat power!"
: TANK SHELL RESISTANCE?!
: Dog-level smell and hearing a pin drop from 5km away? This is straight-up sci-fi!
: So Faiz has other forms? And this is the weak one?? WTH?!
: I swear, every time Fan-bro explains something, my brain resets. This is way beyond superhero-tier.
Even while the chat was blowing up—
Yuuto Kagami wasn't finished yet.
He pulled out what looked like a watch device from his belt and strapped it to his wrist.
"Next…"
"Let me show you one of Faiz's upgraded forms—Accel Mode."
"As the name implies, this form drastically enhances Faiz's speed."
"And I'm not exaggerating when I say—it increases speed by a factor of 1,000!"
: ???
: Accel Mode? 1,000x speed?! You joking, right?!
: Wait, didn't Fan-bro say base speed is 100m in 5.8 seconds? 1000x faster would be... 0.0058 seconds?!
: That's like... 17,000 meters per second?! That's 50 times the speed of sound!!!
Once someone typed out the math in chat—
Everyone lost their minds.
50x the speed of sound.
Not even hypersonic jets could compete with that.
Before they could even calm down—
Yuuto Kagami was already preparing to demonstrate.
"Because of space constraints, I can't do a full-distance run."
"So I'll demonstrate on a short track—about 1,000 meters round trip."
He identified the target route.
Countless eyes locked onto the screen, not daring to blink.
Then Yuuto Kagami pressed the button on his Accel Watch.
"Start... Up!"
With that voice prompt—
Faiz's chest armor split open, revealing a glowing, mechanical core.
Simultaneously, all the red photon streamlines across his armor turned silver.
"Begin!"
Yuuto Kagami turned his back to the camera, crouched down in a runner's stance…
Then—disappeared.
And in the very next second—
He reappeared.
Back at the exact same spot.
This time, facing the camera.
For a moment…
The entire chat went dead silent.
Then—
BOOM.
: ???
: Wait, WHAT? That was it?! He's already back??
: I just blinked and missed the whole thing!!
: 1,000 meters in 0.058 seconds… that's beyond comprehension.
: Bro… this is ridiculous. This speed… maybe only your Rinnegan teleportation can compete with it?!
: SOBBING. I WANT TO BE A KAMEN RIDER TOO.
: Fan-bro, please tell me—this isn't the only transformation belt in existence, right?!
Seeing the increasingly chaotic excitement of the chat, Yuuto Kagami smiled and deactivated Accel Mode.
"Of course not. This isn't the only Driver."
"In the world of Kamen Rider 555, there are other transformation belts too—like Kaixa, Delta, Psyga, and Orga."
"And every one of them is stronger than Faiz… at least in terms of their base stats!"
