So the April fool's joke of next years Rider was right.
|
This is rad. Very creative with the eyes. I am assuming the red Rider is going to be our secondary.
|
may i point out that whoever the other dude is (people have been saying that they arent separate rider but zi-o's rumored am form) he also has "RIDER" spelled out loud on his visor but in hiragana this time? :p
|
Okay I love everything about this

Im intrigued I wonder if this rider will have any kind of "Clock Up" style abilities to go with the clock theme
|
Oh no these are so good Imma buy them. Also it took me a while to realize that the yellow eyes ia a different Rider. And... Zi-O's chest is odd... Oh lord those female Main Roder rumours might be true. Holy shit

Man now I just want the toy scans, I'm confused and hella interested! Not gonna lie though, was hoping that Zi-O's secondary would be using secondary Legend Rider forms, but eh this is easier to split up forms I guess.

Fuck we really could have our first female main rider. Not gonna get my hopes up too high though |
My biggest hope from Zi-O series is previous Rider actors are appeared in Zi-O series as legend Riders and Zi-O has tribute episodes just like Gokaiger......
I know, some of Rider actors like Joe Odagiri (Kuuga), Takeru Satoh (Den-O), etc are really hard to make appearance in Zi-O but I think it will be really good too if some of supporting characters from previous series can be replace unavailable actors. Example: Zeronos actor are represent to Den-O tribute episode because Takeru Satoh are unavailable.... |
Yeah Jioh's pose in the second pic looks really feminine. Aside from that, the design itself appears to have a larger-than-usual chest piece and the colour scheme with pink and white alongside fuschia seems pretty feminine as well. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
|
Definitely excited at the possibility of them being a girl. Could be nice having things change up a little bit for a series. Even if it turns out to do bad on sales like people fear it will, at least will finally know for certain if it'd work or not
|
Well, now I'm hyped. Bring on Zio-O, bring on the legend riders, and bring on the possibility of a female main Rider. Between this and Doctor Who, we could be in for an interesting October.

Timelords/Time king rider. Both been male for decades (pun intended) and could finally be a girl now. |
Yeah, I'm not gonna deny that seeing the full suit, I also thought the upper torso looking "bustier" than usual and I don't see anything in Zi-O's design that would justify that.
|
The suit has original Cure Black arm tips. Love that design element.
And yup, if it's a girl... CALLED IT! xD Though originally, wasn't sure only thought the silhouette was odd until someone else pointed that out which made me stare at the hips, and noticed that the shoulders weren't that broad, and the arms seemed skinnier than most suit actors too. Kyoko Okada's 60th birthday is this October too. The original Tackle. October 21, 1958. So this would be absolutely perfect timing. And October 21st this year falls on a Sunday. Yup, it's more than likely a Fem Rider. |

Oooh the Legend forms have the trinkets on their shoulders, that's cute!
|
Still Loving everything I see here. I know those Legend forms come from a Ganbarizing machine and could easily be exclusive just to the game, but from what I understand they aren't. People have been talking quite a bit about how these legend forms are just Zi-O's proper alternate forms rather than movie or HBV or other special limited things. Very much in the veign of Decade. As Zi-O encounters each Rider they get a form based on them. So here's hoping that pans out. They look pretty crazy and I'm into that.
|
I absolutely adore the giant gimmick items on Zi-O's legend form shoulder, lol. Just giant Gashats and Eyecons.
And yeah, I can't help but get a sort of feminine vibe from some of Zi-O's poses -- at least how Toku usually does it. Reminds me of Marika - I'm trying not to get my hopes up but everything that comes out about her just seems to be further evidence...! Also, this means that Ghost has had some sort of presence in every series since his debut. Goddammit. |

1. Red Hiragana Rider is the former Zi-O and is passing the torch to our titular Zi-O. 2. Not former Zi-O but is a seperate old-timer/senpai rider who mentors Zi-O and uses a different set of rider powers, and my guess for this; either phase one(Kuuga ~ Decade) Heisei riders or Showa riders. 3. A rival rider who has his own agenda. |

Given what we're seeing, I think it's entirely possible that we might for the first time have two main riders. It'd explain this, and would lend a bit more credence to Katakana being female -- easier to have a female main character if she's just one main character of a duo, right? |

Thanks for pointing that out. Quote:

From the setup of the photo and layout too, I'm guessing it's two different riders. Likely near the same age, or roughly. Don't think they'd go for siblings though since Ultraman is doing that theme. But they did probably want something to offset the lead a little for various reasons to keep it more inclusive in case the lead doesn't click with the audience. Probably will do childhood friends of some kind though, or could do siblings, but it'd feel weird to have that kind of repetition. Likely some kind of rivalry or friendly rivalry though, with Zi-Oh being the more 'new' or younger rider as the audience entry-way. No clue, but looking forward to finding out! Could be an A.M./P.M. form, but they'd do the character layout a little differently if that was the case. This feels more like a title rider and secondary, with their equal amount of side forms. Still, loving Zi-O's designs and the extra forms. I hope they get Shodo versions made post haste. |
You know I loved Ex-Aid, but man are these designs getting me amped for the show.
|
If this rumor is true, I guess Zi-O might be first main female rider.
After years of all main Kamen riders being male, Toei apparently decides to make Zi-O a female Rider? Interesting. I will watch it anyway. :) |
Definitely has a girly vibe to the design and pose. The colors and busty looking chest.
|
Man I hope he has true forms outside of the legend stuff because those are rough. The katakana changing is cool, but everything else looks forced. The second rider does look cool though.
The legend forms are based on the collectible gimmick it seems. That’s kinda cool. Still looks weird as hell, but that part is kinda cool. The base forms of the two riders look amazing. That much is for sure in my opinion anyhow. I see the 2nd Rider is a G-Shock style watch to go along with Zi-O’s Rolex style which is awesome. The characters on the secondary’s face look to be more digital seeing as he doesn’t have clock hands. Also, the wrist watch gauntlets holding the watch face gimmick items is genius. They are overly huge, but I like that it’s not another repurposed shift car holder. |
the face, eyes and antennae give me a Rabbit/Tank vibe.
|
I'm gonna wait until we get a plot synopsis to get really excited about a Female main, but for now this looks super promising.
I also love the inverted color schemes they have with the suits. Zi-O's is black with the Rolex being silver highlights vs the Hiragana rider wearing red with the G-Shock for black highlights. Reminds me of how the LupPat suits work. Extremely minor complaint however: I think the chest armor is a bit too pronounced. It looks fine from most angles but in others like the poster on the left in that first picture, it's really pronounced. |
Zio looks... alright. The suit itself looks fine, though I'm still not sure how I feel about the large chest armor as it looks kind of awkward from certain angles, I wasn't really feeling the helmet when I first saw it but its grown on me since then.
On the subject of the female Zio rumor, I have a question. Kamen Rider, above all else, is a toy commercial not a tv show. It does not exist to challenge social ideals or anything of the like, it exists to pump out highly marketable heroes every year to sell toys and other merchandise to a primarily male market of both children and, to a lesser extent, adults. The question is, are there any financial benifits for Toei and Bandai to make Zio female rather then male. |
Quote:
Toei already has Precure for female audiences so yeah I really doubt for female Rider as main protagonist..... |

I will always judge a show purely as a full package, not just the suit design. That helped me enjoy Ex-Aid a lot.
... But a whole year filled with Legend Rider suits? Why... they are so goddamn ugly. Base suit(s?) are pretty terrible too. Man I hope at least the characters are good, the story is somewhat compelling and the action is cool. Because the suit design is among the worst I’ve seen in Kamen Rider so far :( |

And a Rabbit is hardly threatening or intimidating,..and I do prefer my Riders to be Insectoid looking. But Build proved me wrong and turned out to be a great show. And it has my favorite secondary Rider,...Grease. ...I know people say Dragon, but I'll stick with Grease as the real Hero of the show. :rock: |
Looks nice. Hope it's good~

Either way, though... I'm not sure many of here could really answer that question? Personally speaking I just don't know enough about Japan's politics and social issues to possibly know how much this would challenge anything, and I'd hazard a guess that as a predominantly English-speaking site this forum mostly attracts western fans. I apologise in advance if I'm wrong about that |
I’m still curious how we are supposed to pronounce this Rider.
