  • Whilst not done in the series, "Kamen Rider Next Faiz" fights with both the Faiz Blaster in Blade Mode and Faiz Edge in the 20th Anniversary movie Paradise Regained.
    • Both Kamen Rider Next Kaixa and Psyga wield a pair of tonfas (with Next Kaixa's being bladed and based on his standard Blaygun).
  • Kamen Rider Blade does this on three occasions, first with his Cool Sword and the sword he took from the Caucasus Undead, the Category King of the Spades Suit Undead, to defeat said Undead, the second time is when he used the Straight Flush, where his base form's sword is summoned for a double sword-strike Finishing Move, to temporarily knock out the Joker Undead, and the third time is with his King Form's BFS and his base form's sword to defeat Kerberos, an artificial Undead. Chalice settles for two smaller blades in his Wild Form.
  • Kamen Rider Hibiki dual-wields two Taiko drum sticks. It Makes Sense in Context...
  • Kamen Rider Gatack, from Kamen Rider Kabuto wields two swords shaped like stag beetle mandibles.
  • Kamen Rider Den-O dual-wields a boomerang and a handaxe in his Wing Form.
  • Kamen Rider Kiva can dual-wield any of his Arms Monsters weapons in DoGaBaKi Form, and Ixa can dual-wield his Ixa Calibur sword and Ixariser gun together.
  • Kamen Rider Decade can replicate some of these methods, but the series also introduces Kamen Rider Abyss, a Ryuki-style Rider whose Sword Vent is the twin Abysssabers.
  • Kamen Rider OOO has standard wrist mounted weapons in multiple of his torso parts. He also dual-wields an axe and a sword during the finale.

  • Kamen Rider Wizard is able to copy his sword in one of his upgraded forms.
    • The Phantom Gremlin's weapon of choice is the Rapture, a pair of scissor-like blades.
  • Kamen Rider Gaim often dual-wields his Musou Saber and whatever Arms Weapon he has access to, typically the Daidaimaru sword (Orange Arms) or the Pine Iron (Pine Arms). The user of Ichigo (strawberry) Arms, mostly Gaim, has unlimited Ichigo Kunai (throwing knives), and typically has one in each hand. Several other Riders also dual-wield:
    • In his default Durian Arms, Kamen Rider Bravo has the twin Duri Noko.
    • Kiwi Arms grants its user, typically Ryugen, the twin Kiwi Gekirins (attack wheels).
    • Sengoku Movie Battle has Bujin Gaim, Gaim's Evil Counterpart who dual wields a Musou Saber and Daidaimaru as he does, only his form is a blood orange.
    • The Hyper Battle DVD also gives Gaim a Fresh Orange Arms, which arms him with two Daidaimaru swords and two Musou Sabers, which combine to form Daidaimaru Naginata Mode. He also gains a Fresh Pine Lockseed which would grant him two Pine Irons, but sadly this form is never seen.
    • In Kamen Rider Taisen, Kamen Rider Fifteen uses the Heisei Rider Lockseed to copy Rider powers. Assuming Gaim Arms, he is granted access to both a Daidaimaru and Musou Saber, though the former was only seen in magazine scans. In his final battle with Gaim, he dual wields the Daidaimaru with his personal sword, the Yomimaru. In Decade Arms, Fifteen can also summon Hibiki's taiko sticks.
    • Gaim's Super Mode, Kiwami Arms, grants him the power to summon all the Arms Weapons, allowing him to dual wield any number of weapons, pairings including Zangetsu's Melon Defender and Ryugen's Budou Ryuhou (gun), Melon Defender and Baron's Banaspear, Kurokage's Kagematsu and Kurokage Shin's Kagematsu Shin.
    • The SH Figuarts Ryugen Yomi has him wielding both Redyue's Dau spear and Shinmugurun's Dimubu battle-axe, reflecting the Over Lord Inves weapons he summoned on-screen.
    • In the final episode, Ryugen is granted a Daidaimaru from Gaim, wielding it alongside his Budou Ryuhou.
    • In Kamen Rider Gaim: Advance to the Last Stage, part of Movie War Full Throttle, Ryugen steals a Kagematsu from a Mecha Kurokage, wielding it alongside his Budou Ryuhou.
    • Also in Movie War Full Throttle, Gaim Kiwami Arms uses his ability to summon Arms Weapons to grant them to his fellow Armored Riders, resulting in Baron wielding both the Banaspear and Kagematsu Shin, Ryugen wielding the Budou Ryuhou and Musou Saber, and Zangetsu Shin wielding the Melon Defender and Sonic Arrow.
    • In Kamen Rider Duke, Kamen Rider Saver wields the blood Daidaimaru alongside the Saver Arrow bow.
  • In Kamen Rider Drive, the eponymous Rider can wield both the Door-Ju (gun) and Handle-Ken (sword).
    • In Movie War Full Throttle, Drive assumes the Gaim-based form Type Fruits, wielding the Daidaimaru and Musou Saber as Gaim does. Averted in the case of Gaim Drive Arms, who wields only the Handle-Ken on-screen, but does have the Door-Ju as well in the Arms Change toyline.
    • In the Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future, Drive Type Speed borrows Mach's Zenrin Shooter and wields it alongside the Door-Ju. A promotional image also depicts him holding both guns as Type Special.
    • Gold Drive uses his ability to rob the Riders of their weapons to dual wield Drive's Door-Ju and Chase's Break Gunner, then both the Handle-Ken and the Door-Ju.
  • Kamen Rider Ghost specializes in dual wielding via Musashi Damashii and splits his Gan Gun Saber into two blades. While in Grateful or Mugen Damashii, he can utilize both the Gan Gun Saber and Sunglasseslasher both in sword mode.
    • In Kamen Rider Ghost: Legendary! Riders' Souls! Drive Chapter, Ghost assumes Drive Damashii, wielding both the Handle-Ken and the Door-Ju.
    • In the Last Chapter, Ghost faces the Dark Mind, a Gamma Ultima who, with the power of the Alexander Eyecon, wields a unique sword alongside the sword usually associated with Gamma Ultima Fire.
    • In Heisei Generations, Ghost Tenka Touitsu Damashii dual wields Specter's Gan Gun Hand and Necrom's Gan Gun Catcher, then his the Sunglasseslasher and Deep Specter's Deep Slasher.
  • In Kamen Rider Ex-Aid #9, Ex-Aid borrows Kamen Rider Brave's Gashacon Sword, using it alongside his own Gashacon Breaker for a combined Finishing Move.
    • Kamen Rider Ex-Aid "Tricks": Kamen Rider Genm, has Ex-Aid use the Taiko no Tatsujin Gashat to grant him a pair of generic taiko sticks which he uses to best a manifestation of Hibiki.
    • In Chou Super Hero Taisen, the Oogumo Great Leader wields a pair of swords.
  • In Kamen Rider Build, whilst Build and Cross-Z both attained their respective Super Mode, the latter left his old Dragon Sclashjelly to tertiary Rider Grease, allowing him to use a second Twin Breaker in addition to that provided by his own Robot Sclashjelly, a development which was playfully mocked by fans (see the image above).
    • In Heisei Generations FINAL, Build's Ex-Aid Form allows him to wield Ex-Aid's Gashacon Breaker alongside his own Drill Crusher.
    • In NEW WORLD Cross-Z, Kamen Rider Killbus wields both Build's Drill Crusher and Kaizoku Hassyar (bow-and-arrow).
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O dual-wields with two copies of Gaim's Daidaimaru while in Gaim Armor and after he gains the Saikyo Girade via his Zi-O II upgrade often dual-wields it alongside his usual Zikan Girade before combining them into his BFS. GrandZi-O can take it even further by summoning weapons of the previous main Heisei Riders, with Zi-O dual-wielding Den-O's DenGasher Sword Mode and Gaim's Daidaimaru on one occasion. His Another Rider counterpart was also fond of wielding two sword-like weapons.
  • In Kamen Rider Saber, Kamen Rider Kenzan's sword Hayate can split to create two medium-sized ninjato-like blades.
    • Similar to the Grease situation above, Kamen Riders Slash and Buster are granted a copy of their personal swords by Xross Saber beginning in #41. That episode also has Desast wielding both his own sword and the late Rider Falchion's Kyomu against Storious and the Charybdis Megid, then Xross Saber uses both the Xross Saber and Kaenken Rekka.
    • Kamen Rider Specter × Blades, Blades gets to use both his personal sword Nagare and a borrowed Deep Slasher from Specter.
  • In Kamen Rider Geats, Kamen Rider Tycoon (and any rider using the Ninja Raise Buckle for that matter) can split his Ninja Dueler into two smaller blades.
    • The Claw Armed Buckle equips the user with the Armed Claw, which unlike other weapons of the same category comes strictly in a pair.
    • By using the Fever Slot Raise Buckle and matching it with their corresponding Buckles, both Na-Go and Buffa are able to summon duplicates of their Beat Axe and Zombie Breaker weapons. Whilst Buffa dual wields in the conventional sense, Na-Go combines her Beat Axes together to form a double-necked guitar. Ace can also do the same with the Magnum Buckle, and like Michinaga uses the resulting twin weapons conventionally.
    • The Summer movie exclusive Rider, Cross Geats, uses two weapons simultaneously, both being swords recolored from earlier designs. One is a recolored Geats Buster QB9 (which itself is a retool of the Magnum Shooter 40X), while the other is a recolor of the Raising Sword (though with the Command Cannon Buckle removed).
