Utilizing the Poppingummy Gochizo in conjunction with his belt-like Gavv (ガヴ, Gavu) organ,[a] also known as the "Aka Gavv" (赤ガヴ, Aka Gavu, Red Gavv), attached to his abdomen, Shoma can transform into Kamen Rider Gavv Poppingummy Form (ポッピングミフォーム, Poppingumi Fōmu). While transformed, he wields the Gavvgablade (ガヴガブレイド, Gavugabureido) sword, which can use the motorcycle-like Gochispeeder (ゴチスピーダー, Gochisupīdā) device to launch Gochizo as projectiles. His personal vehicle is the Vrocan Buggy (ブルキャンバギー, Burukyan Bagī) ATV, which is summoned from the Vrocan Gochizo.[4] Additionally, he can access a variety of forms using other Gochizo.
