In episode 43, after being left cornered with his Genesis Driver broken and knowing that his prototype Sengoku Driver cannot compete against his foe or perhaps his skills still not as much as Takatora does when he was Zangetsu while fighting against Zangetsu Shin II, he eats a fruit of Helheim and transforms into an Over Lord Inves known as Lord Baron.
Kaito Kumon is one of the main characters in the 24th installment of the Kamen Rider Series, Kamen Rider Gaim. He is the founder and former leader of Team Baron, Team Gaim's rival until he chose Zack as his successor, and gave him a mass production Sengoku Driver as a parting gift.
Growing up poor, he always believed that the weak warriors are exploited after Yggdrasill took everything from his life. After watching Gaim battle the Shika Inves, he received a Sengoku Driver as well and a Banana Lockseed from Sid, which allows him to transform into Kamen Rider Baron. In Sengoku Movie Battle, he was named Kamen Rider Bujin Baron, but dropped it after Bujin Gaim's defeat. Kaito is also addressed as Monsieur Banane by Oren Pierre Alfonzo.

Form
Lord Baron
- Lord Baron
- Height : 211 cm
- Weight : 104 kg
- Appearances : Gaim Gaiden, Episodes 43-46
As Lord Baron, Kaito gains an increase in strength, agility, and dexterity, easily defeating foes such as New Generation Rider Duke, the strongest of the New Generation Riders, without even breaking a sweat. He also can turn into a gaseous form that can ensnare and lift opponents off the ground, a durable exoskeleton, manipulate Helheim Flora and Inves, and open Cracks freely.
Because his body has fought off the infection longer than anyone else, after transforming into Lord Baron, Kaito obtains the ability to alternate between his human and Over Lord forms. In his human-like form, vines spout from his body near his chest and arms. He is also still able to transform into Armored Rider Baron with his power boosted by his Over Lord strength, allowing Baron in Banana Arms to fight almost toe-to-toe with Gaim in Kachidoki Arms. However, Armored Rider Baron still possesses the same weakness as before (low defense). Kaito can also assume his Over Lord form while currently in his Armored Rider form.
