History

Shinkenger

As a child, Takeru gave his friend Genta the Ika Disk, which Genta studied and created his powers from.

Kamen Rider Decade

Genta reunites with Ika Origami

When Daiki Kaito (Kamen Rider Diend) arrived in the World of Shinkenger, he stole the Ika Origami from Genta, claiming it as his treasure from that world. TV STORY-Act 20: The Ebi Origami's Transformation As Genta fought Diend as Shinken Gold, the Ayakashi Chinomanako appeared and stole Diend's Diendriver, using it to transform into a monstrous version of Kamen Rider Diend. After Chinomanako was destroyed by a teamup of the Shinkengers with Kamen Riders Decade and Kuuga, Shinken Gold forced Daiki to give back the Ika Origami in exchange for his Diendriver.

"Samurai Busou! Ika Shinken-Oh! Armed under providence!"

―post-combination announcement^[src]

Combining with the Ika Origami when Shinken Gold pulls back on his sword, ShinkenOh becomes Ika ShinkenOh (イカシンケンオー, Ika-Shinken'ō). After combining, the Shinkengers say "Ika ShinkenOh, armed under providence." (イカシンケンオー天下無双, Ika-Shinken'ō tenkamusō). Ika ShinkenOh's attacks include the rapid-fast stabbing Squid Spear Line (烏賊槍ぶすま, Ika Yaribusuma) and Squid Freezing (烏賊冷凍, Ika Reitō) where it shoots an icy mist from the Ika Origami shield to freeze the opponent. Ika ShinkenOh's final attack is the Squid Flash (槍烏賊一閃, Yariika Issen), charging the spear with lightning to do a lightning slash attack.

True Samurai Armament Ika Tenku Buster (真侍武装烏賊テンクウバスター, Shin Samurai Busō Ikatenkū Basutā) is the combination of the Kabuto Origami, Kajiki Origami, Tora Origami, and Ika Origami which acts as a cannon for the DaiKaiShinkenOh to use as a weapon. To initiate the transformation they insert the Tora Disk into the Inomaru making it announced: "Tora Disk!", then the Shinkengers will announced: "Shin Samurai Busou! (Transformation sequence) Ika Tenku Buster!". It is able to execute the Origami Grand Release (折神大開放, Origami Daikaihō) attack, where it fires the energy manifestations of all the Origami as they collided at the opponent engulfing them in an explosion. However, due to the strain of the large amount of Mojikara required for such a devastating attack, the weapon can only be fired once in any battle. This means it is usually reserved as a finishing strike, because of the risk of power loss if the shot were to miss.
