What Riderman lacked in technological strength of V3, as well as the Riders before him, "Ichigo" and "Nigo", he made up for in persistence, smarts, and his wide array of
prosthetic weapons to meet his needs.* Rope Arm
Riderman's Default Arm, which is used in various ways. As means of escape, climbing, and combat. The arm itself has modified attachments for Yuuki to use and adjust to various situations. There is his default Hook Arm, with hook attachment, for climbing and combat. When the mace end is attached, he gets his Swing Arm, which can be extended and used as a flailing weapon. Then, there's the Net Arm, where Yuuki's arm can shoot out a net to capture and restrain enemies (by "Kamen Rider Spirits", it appears that this net is fireproof). Finally, there's the Sickle Arm which has been seen in various promotion; and yet, wasn't used in the series. Based on the photos, it is assumed it is simply used for combat.
