Encyclopedia > Kings and Roads (Air Gear)

Definition of "Kings" and "Roads" in the anime/manga Air Gear Serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine Original run 16 May 2003 – Present No. ...


Kings and Roads

'Kings' are the most advanced users in the Air Gear universe's Air Treck world, each possessing a unique 'Regalia' as their proof of their status. Regalia are special ATs specifically engineered to use the air to work in conjunction with the king's 'road', the trick style the rider prefers. Though there are many 'roads' in the Air Gear world, originally only the eight riders with Regalia were considered kings, regardless of how powerful a rider was otherwise. Currently in the Air Gear manga storyline, there are sixteen recognized kings, eleven of which have been revealed as such to the reader. All Regalia possess what is known as an "Infinity Atmosphere", a special set of parts which utilize air to create a powerful effect. Although many people have been recognized with having the power of a king, a person is not officially recognized without a Regalia, either won in a battle, chanced upon, or inherited from a previous king. Two known roads which do not have kings are Spitfire and Aeon Clock's "Apollon Road" and Onigiri's "Smell Road".

Wing Road
翼の道
Uses interfaces to ride on the surfaces of different air densities, allowing the rider to increase their manuverabilty and attain lift when their bodies are in a moving mass of air. Aerial tricks often involve changing the center of gravity to attain more distance. They can apply their own momentum to an air current, such as a Fang, to increase the current's velocity. Riders have a natural ability to sense wind changes before they occur. Can create countless trick paths throughout the air, and produce gusts of wind strong enough to even nullify some of the other Regalias' Infinity Atmospheres. Through activating the Regalia's core, powerful windstorms with wind speeds over 180mph can be produced, and controlled by the user. Sora Takeuchi

The rider moves at extremely high speeds, often disappearing from view. The high friction of the movement on a surface causes enough heat to create the illusion of a flaming trail. Aeon Clock's application can use the bending of light or the overload affect of the brain to a sensation of temporal halt. Kazuma's application causes temporary paralysis via quick and precise nerve attacks.

Once described as the opposite of the Bloody Road, riders maneuver with their hips rather than their knees. This road can only be used by females, because their hips are wider than males, allowing for more range and speed. Provides greater strength, maneuverability, and speed at the price of, at times, severe physical pain. Ringo Noyamano is known to cushion her joints with nitrogen bubbles via replicating the effects of decompression sickness to increase her mobility. The Regalia unravels into a super conductive rod, operating much like a whip. With rapid and proper hip movements, the tip of the rods can exceed 340 m/s (760mph), producing small sonic boom "thorns". However, this places heavy strain on the Rider.

-- Working with the Windmill Principle, the Regalia body acts like a turbine to compress incoming air for bigger thrust, and redirect it. Great strength is required to redirect all of the compressed wind within the Regalia, as it activeates at supersonic speeds. The resultant vaccuum once nullified a fang from Agito.

Ring Road
閃律の道
Not all people on the Ring Road ride AT. Their mission is to care for and heal their fellow riders. Ring Road followers also focus a lot on sound, as that is how they can adjust the Regalia. Relies on a team effort. Axis allows the Pledge King to act through his/her team mates by feeding their body with information through a "bird call," essentially creating clones of the Pledge King out of all the Tuners attached to the Regalia. The Tuners can then access the world of 'Infinite Scale', enabling them to build, repair and tune ATs as quickly as the Pledge King.

Operates on the principles of piezoelectricity to generate electrical potential by applying directional force to the ground via the Regalia's mechanical components. The induced voltage is transmitted along the surface, and synchronizes with the vibrations of an object (ie. the adversary) and effectively incapacitates them. The Regalia is noted to reduce mobility. Kilik (does not possess Regalia, still represents Gaia Road)

-- Rider disfigures the opponent, much like Bloody Road, but instead of thin cuts the rider skins the opponent using the wheels of the AT much like a circular saw. Operates under the same principle as the Bloody Armor. It uses the rapid acceleration and braking of the wheel-motors to generate heat, converting energy from braking into heat energy. It then expels that accumulated heat as thermal "shells" through incredibly fast and steady kicking. Gabishi -- Hatch Venom Air Cannon --
Water Queen
水の王
Lather Road
泡翠の道
Riders who follow this road often wait until the rain to fight, as they are most effective on wet surfaces which their ATs are made for. The Regalia can change the density and properties of water by saturating it with air. Ability activates by using the wheels of the AT to seal high pressure within the bubbles, which can rip through steel and clothing. When they come into contact with flesh, the vibrations within them resonate with the water in the human body, causing massive internal injury. Can be used offensively and defensively, and with varying lethality. Om -- -- Bubblegum Crisis --

Without a Regalia there is no need for a link tuner.
Sky King ---- The ultimate title in Air Gear's AT world. It is said that a candidate for Sky King must possess two passive traits - "Hawk Eye" and "Trick Pass" - which allow the rider to instantaneously create an extremely accurate map of the course and all possible tricks and routes. Called "The Regalia of Regalias", it is at the "top" of the Trophaeum, where the decomposed body of the late professor who created it is still clutching the suitcase which holds the Regalia within. Sleeping Forest has been protecting the regalia for years; the Gram Scale Tournament takes place when the doors of the Trophaeum open, allowing riders to challenge Sleeping Forest.

  • The king of the Wing Road is the Wind King. The status of Wind King is not a prerequisite to becoming the Sky King, however because the Wing Road is considered the "purest" road most expect the Wind King to become Sky King. As no one is currently known to have possessed the Sky Regalia, no one has been crowned as Sky King. Sora Takeuchi was close, but failed due to the betrayal of Kilik. It is said that all eight non-Sleeping Forest kings would like the one who rides the Wing Road to be Sky King because all Regalia depend on the air to function. However, this may no longer be the case due to Itsuki's recent founding of the Hurricane Road.
  • Another point in regard to the Regalia of the Gem King. When previously owned by Kilik, the road was called the Gaia Road. However, when Nike obtained the Regalia from Kilik, the road changed to the Jade Road. This is because Nike learned to grasp and manipulate the wind like Sora as a rider while growing up, which consequently lead to a fusion with the Gaia Road to create a new road, the Jade Road. Similar is the Apollon Road, which was the simultaneous use of both Spitfire and Aeon Clock's versions of the Flame Road. Although Aeon's road is sometimes confused as a separate "time" road, his road is actually a transformed variant of the Flame Road.
  • As of right now the Horn King is the only one who either does not possess a road at all or has not revealed the name of his Road. The manga described Gabishi as "Faceless", while in the same section decribing Om as "Water Queen".
  • Though Agito is the current Fang King after regaining his title, he was only seen wearing Bloody Armor once; during the battle against Trident. Agito is the one and only current Fang King; regardless of Lindo's power or position among the personalities, Agito has not given the Regalia to the Lindo (like Akito gave Bloody Armor to Agito when he quit AT), nor is he cooperating with Lindo, making him the sole Fang King. Also, although Akito was the personality who launched the Leviathan during the Behemoth battle in the manga, he has no interest in being Fang King, and since Agito was the personality who made the bet, he's still the rightful owner of Bloody Armor.
  • The Regalia that are in the possession of the current Kings of Sleeping Forest are sub-Regalia from the original 8 Regalia. That is why even though Gravity Children shouldn't need to be tuned with Regalia, they still have tuners, because the sub-Regalias are not powerful enough to withstand the power of the Kings. Currently, only Gem, Fang, and Flame Regalia have been shown as original cores.
