Kamen Rider Gaim : Baron's Soccer Showdown Summer Camp!
Kougane is the manifestation of an artificial Golden Fruit created by an Over Lord in the past. His awakening eventually accelerated the race's extinction as they fought to the death. Lapis, a young Over Lord sealed him at the cost of his own. Nonetheless, his curse on the Femushinmu remained, leaving them endangered. Ryoma Sengoku discovered his seal and unintentionally released him, resulting in his own death. Kougane's existence causes the Armored Riders to lust after each other for the "Golden Fruit".

Slowly, the Armored Riders start to kill each other off as Kougane masquerades as Yuya to get to Kouta. The deaths of the fallen Armored Riders strengthens Kougane's "Golden Ringo" Lockseed. When it is revealed that he is not really Yuya, Kougane transforms into Armored Rider Mars and defeats Kouta. Corrupting Gaim into Gaim Yami, the two go after Lapis.
Post-Helheim Invasion
Kougane survives his encounter in the movie and returns after seven months has passed since the Helheim plants and Inves were removed from Earth. Taking the form of a locust, he possesses a teenage girl as leverage in case if he's at a disadvantage. Using the Black Ringo Lockseed, he is able to assume the form of Armored Rider Jam, a substantially weaker form than Armored Rider Mars, due to the energy in the Golden Ringo Lockseed being completely drained after his original defeat.
Arms
Like with the other Armored Riders, Kamen Rider Mars/Jam's forms are called Arms. His Sengoku Driver does not either play any sort of music or announce something before every transformation, while his personal Lockseeds are styled in pure Japanese.
By pressing the Sengoku Driver's Cutting Blade down on the Lockseed after transforming from one to three times, Mars/Jam can activate one of three finishing moves based on his current Arms form: Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking. In addition to the Sengoku Driver's finishing moves, Kougane as Jam can perform a Fruits Charge finishing attack by inserting a Lockseed into the Drive Launch of his Musou Saber.
Mars Ride Wear
- Mars Ride Wear
- Armored Rider Mars Ride Wear is Mars' default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Mars' transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
- The Ride Wear that Mars's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator faceplate. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.
Mars Golden Arms
- Mars Golden Arms
- Golden Arms : Ōgon no Kajitsu! (Baroque choir with harp music) ― Transformation announcement
- Height : 209 cm.
- Weight : 117 kg.
- Punching power : 18.5 t.
- Kicking power : 19.6 t.
- Maximum jump height : 19 m.
- Maximum running speed : 100 m. per 6.8 sec.
- Appearances : Episode 37, Golden Fruits Cup!
- Golden Arms is Mars' default golden apple-based European Knight form, which is accessed through the Golden Ringo Lockseed. This form debuts in episode 37. While assuming Golden Arms, Mars dons the Golden Armor Part and his Arms Weapons are the Sword Bringer and Apple Reflecter
- This form (and the Golden Ringo Lockseed) is powered through the energy of other Armored Riders. Initially rusted, it starts to unrust when the Armored Riders turn on each other and their deaths are then fueled into the Golden Ringo Lockseed. While this means that Mars Golden Arms is the collective force of all of the fallen Armored Riders, it also means that the Golden Ringo Lockseed requires more and more energy to maintain itself as its power starts to slip.
- During Kougane's debut against Kouta, Mars overpowered Gaim Orange Arms and also managed to fare well against Gaim Banana, Donguri, Durian, and Jimber Lemon Arms. As Mars, Kougane was weakened further when he used his powers to try and to consume Kouta to boost his power, but an unexpected effect happened where Kouta instead turned dark instead of being consumed.
- After Kouta breaks free from the brainwashing, Gaim Kachidoki Arms was able to fight against Mars Golden Arms with relative ease. By the point where Gaim assumed Kiwami Arms, Mars was wallowing in pain, resorting to assume a Flame Horse form. After that was defeated, Mars loses most of his energy, resulting into the deceased Riders aiding Kouta.
- Mars used the rest of his power to summon fire clones of himself, but they are easily dispatched with little effort as shown by Ryugen shooting once to destroy them and Kurokage kicking them for them to fade. In the aftermath of the defeat of the remaining Armored Riders, the Golden Ringo Lockseed was completely drained of its energy, corrupting it into the Black Ringo Lockseed, meaning that Kougane loses the ability to transform into Armored Rider Mars.
- Mars Golden Ringo Lockseed
- Allows Mars to transform into Golden Arms, equipped with the Sword Bringer and Apple Reflecter
- Its code is LS-GOLD.
- Its voice is pitched-down to sound deeper.
- It is thought to be destroyed along with Kougane (as Mars) by the combined powers of Gaim in Kiwami Arms and Kamuro, but both surived, with the Golden Ringo Lockseed losing its luster to become the Black Ringo Lockseed.

Armored Rider Jam
Jam Ride Wear
- Jam Ride Wear
- Armored Rider Jam Ride Wear is Jam's default form undersuit, which is briefly seen during Jam's transformation sequence before the Armor Part attaches or when he changes Arms. However, this form is completely vulnerable to any incoming attacks when shot at directly in the suit rather than at the Arms that is descending down on the Rider.
- Jam is one of only a few Armored Riders who are defaultly equipped with a Musou Saber side weapon. However, unlike the others, his Sengoku Driver does not come with a holster, while the Musou Saber itself was not even visible until it appeared without notice in the middle of battle
- The Ride Wear that Jam's Sengoku Driver has is easily identifiable through its Rider Indicator faceplate. The Rider Indicator only identifies what Ride Wear a Sengoku Driver contains for simplicity and can be replaced with extensions such as the Genesis Core or Senyo Joint.
Jam Darkness Arms
- Jam Darkness Arms
- Darkness Arms : Ōgon no Kajitsu! (Sinister choir with harp music) ― Transformation announcement
- Height : 209 cm.

- Kicking power : 19.6 t.
- Maximum jump height : 22 m.
- Maximum running speed : 100 m. per 6.2 sec.
- Appeareance : Episode 47.
- Darkness Arms is Jam's default apple-based Japanese Samurai form. Accessed through the Black Ringo Lockseed, this form bears the Black Mask helmet with the Steering Eye visor. This form debuts in episode 47. While assuming Darkness Arms, Jam dons the Darkness Armor Part and his Arms Weapon is the Dark Daidaimaru. This form is substantially weaker than Mars due to the fact that the Golden Ringo Lockseed was depleted of all its energy, turning it into the Black Ringo Lockseed. Kougane has stated that he has only been able to regain very little of its power back
- Despite that, by pure numbers, he does have the strongest punch out of all the Armored Riders, beyond even Gaim, is second to only Kachidoki Arms for kicks and barely is stronger than Duke, can jump as high as Gaim and Baron in Pine Arms and Mango Arms, and barely outpaced by Baron and both Zangetsu and Zangetsu-Shin.
- In fact it possesses the same punching and kicking power as the Golden Arms, but is faster and can jump higher. Despite this fact, Jam appears to have very low defensive capabilities to the point where even Ryugen was able to injure him alone whereas Mars was able to fight against the surviving Riders in the Soccer World.
- This Arms' finishing attack is known as Apple Bullets : This finisher has two variations depending on which function Jam activates from his Sengoku Driver.
- Squash : Jam summons up to 15 energy apples, then slashes an energized Dark Daidaimaru Naginata Mode to send them flying so as to bombard the enemy.
- Au Lait : Jam summons a bigger energy apple, then jabs the Dark Daidaimaru Naginata Mode into it, sending it flying at the enemy.
