Kamen Rider Thrust


Kamen Rider Thrust is one of the 13 Riders the story revolves around. His true identity is Cam of Ventara. His Earth counterpart Brad Barrett was originally a motocross player who was banned from motocrossing for a cheating scandal that he did not commit involving fellow racer Joe Stephens. He was approached by Xaviax in the form of Charlie Feathers, giving him a false promise to clear his name if he defeated the other Riders in a "tournament" called Battle Club, and becomes Kamen Rider Thrust armed with a rhinoceros Advent Deck.


Fighting Style

Thrust is a close range specialist. He relies on brute force and his intellect more than anything else. His strategies often involve overpowering his opponent with a combination of his powerful Strike Vent and his Contract Monster Metalgelas, as well as negating his opponent's Advent Cards through his stratetegically important Confine Vent.

Despite that, Thrust lacks a defensive weapon, and he's one of the least agile of the Kamen Riders.


Visor and Advent Deck

As a melee fighter who relies on brute strength and intellect, Thrust's attack methods usually involve his Confine Vent card to cancel any weapon effects from the other Riders while using the Metal Visor on his left-shoulder to conjure his Metal Horn gauntlet as well as summoning his contract monster Metalgelas to fight alongside him and execute his Heavy Pressure Final Vent, carried by his Contact Monster as a lance, with the Metal Horn extended in front of him to pierce through the opponent.
  • Advent (AP: 4000): Summons Metalgelas, a humanoid rhinoceros monster whose name is derived from the Greek river god Gelas, "head of horns".
  • Strike Vent (AP: 2000): Conjures Metal Horn, modeled after Metalgelas' head.
  • Confine Vent: Nullifies the effect of the Advent Card of the target Rider for one round.
  • Final Vent (AP: 5000): Executes Heavy Pressure. Kamen Rider Thrust rides on Metalgelas with the Metal Horn extended in front of him to pierce through the opponent.
