In the modern city of Zawame, people enjoy dance battle. Dance teams compete each day to reach higher ranking. However, dancing is not the only way to boost their position. Teams can also duel in Inves Game.

Team Gaim is so good in dancing, but not in inves game. It was since their member, Kouta, decides to quit the team and finds job. Kouta wants to make his own living and stop relying on his sister.

One day, Gaim's leader, Yuya disappear after leaving a Sengoku Driver Belt to Kouta. When Kouta use it with a certain lockseed, he transforms into Armor Rider Gaim. This way Kouta can help Gaim Team in Inves Game. But, he's not the only one with the driver.

I told myself I need more episodes before writing this review. I guess 4 are enough to make one. And I don't like it. Yes, it's full of ikemen. Yes, most of them are from Tenimyu. Yes, the music is not bad. And Yes, this fruit things seems fresh.

However,

This series has a big defect. It's already 4th episode but no real enemy appear. What is a hero without enemy? *quoted from samumenco. lol* Instead of fighting monster, Gaim picks a fight with other rider. I think this is stupid. Isn't this just like delinquent drama?
This is a kid show, so at least they need to convey the idea about good vs evil. Riders are supposed to be the good guy. They don't fight each other. As far as I  know when rider fights rider, the other rider must be under villain's control (e.g. Kamen Rider Poseidon/Aqua).

I'm afraid this show only teach children that you need to show up and as you turn stronger you can bully other people. It's disaster.

I feel like the scripwriter tries so hard to compile lots of ideas. However, other than the fruit thing, everything else seems copy pasted. The city background? sounds like Garo Yami wo Terasu. The invess dealer, Sid? It resembles driver's salesman in Kamen Rider W.
