Saber November Scans

- Kamen Rider Saber Crimson Dragon
- Kamen Rider Espada Golden Alangina - Kamen Rider Calibur Ja-Ou Dragon - Kamen Rider Slash Hanselnuts to Gretel |
Did not expect Calibur to get an upgrade but that suit is gorgeous. I love how the red visor is literally flames being spewed by the dragon maws around it.
Slash I'm really looking forward to seeing in action. The suit is amazing and I adore how he also uses the "Town Musicians of Bremen" book which means all of his books are German fairy tales. |
I think that Rockband of Bremen might be my favourite armour-part so far. Really like the litrle animals and musocal notes on it. I'm happy with how the new forms turned out, and what you oay for two books is what it would usually cost to get the special upgrade gimmick, so you don't break your Toku spending habits.

Wake up burning! Get Ja-Ou Dragon! YEAH!!
|
Yeah I was going to say something similar. The head really reminds me of Cross-Z
a very cool suit. |
Calibur Ja-Ou Dragon really sells the evil look! I don't think he'd look too out of place as an Ultraman villain either.
Saber Crimson Dragon is...very very red. Espada Golden Alangina is...very very gold. So why is Blades called Fantastic Lion and not Blue Lion? Did they hit a creative roadblock or something? And then there's Slash. Unfortunate naming of his Wonder Ride Book aside (I mean, hello, "Hanselnuts to Gretel"?!? [snrk!]), I really dig the candy theme! Donuts on his wrists, gingerbread house armor (there's a 'door' on his belly section), gumdrop decorations, choco wafer patterns on his arms and legs, awesome! I'm still a bit confused as to what story the rock music band Wonder Rider Book is based off though. |
I can't quite tell, but does Saber's upgrade item work with his two auxiliary books? Because that's AWESOME!! Rider's been dropping the aux items so easily as of late and Saber has a unique approach to them, so it'd be great to see them keep being used in this way!
That said... I can't quite tell what Saber and Espada's third books are? |

Kamen Rider Slash - Tetsuo Daishinji the blacksmith transforms into the new 6th fencer of Sword of Logos Kamen Rider Slash, the fencer of sound - Slash's sword is the Onjyuken Suzune(Sonic Gun Sword Bellring), a sword that also doubles as a gun - Slash uses two story WRBs, Hanselnuts & Gretel and Bremen no Rockband - While transforming with Hanselnuts & Gretel, by additionally loading Bremen no Rockband WRB Slash becomes Kamen Rider Slash Hansel Bremen, and with the speakers on his shoulders can convert sound into might when in battle - His signature move is Guns & Music Kamen Rider Calibur Jya-Oh Dragon - Using the Jya-Oh WRB, a book about an evil dragon, Calibur powers up into KamenRider Calibur Ja-Oh Dragon Kamen Rider Espada Golden Alangina - By loading all three of his WRBs, Tri-Cerberus, Needle Hedgehog, and Lamp Do Alangina, Espada taps into his Wonder Combo and becomes Kamen Rider Espada Golden Alangina - His new signature move is the Trueno Del Sol(Solar Thunder) Kamen Rider Saber Crimson Dragon - By loading all three of his WRBs, Brave Dragon, Storm Eagle, and Saiyuu Journey, Saber taps into his Wonder Combo and becomes Kamen Rider Saber Crimson Dragon - His new signature move is the Bakuen Gurenzan(Explosion Crimson Slash) Miscellaneous info - Rintarou's master and former Kamen Rider Blades's real name is Kenshin Nagamine |
Bout time both Saber and Espada get their Best Match.

Damn, Calibur's new suit is sexy!

The villains feels like fodder already . Caliber , I was expecting him to be Evolt or zangetsu to horobi in an extent where he super strong already. At first, we thought the teirs were saber<espada=blades<buster, but looks like we're powering through level up. King Arthur trumps everyone except for blades 3 volumes ins stats. |
GODDAMN those 3 book forms look gorgeous

He probably just replaces Hanselnuts with Bremen - like Buster did for Jackun or Kenzan with Kobuta-3.

A bunch of extra GP toys, fun
|
Oh I recognize a lot of these from Espada opening the gate to Avalon. At least the ones I could make out at the time.
|
Okay so the new Wonder Ride Books:
Sarukani Wars - based on the Crab and the Monkey. Houshin Kamen Engi - based on the Investiture of the Gods. Daishougun Momoichiro - based on Momotaro (I think? You can kind of make out a monkey and a dog from the cover). Daikengou Urashimajiro - based on Urashima Tarō. Daiyokozuna Kinsaburō - based on Kintarō. Osha Jizousan - baesd on Kṣitigarbha (a bodhisattva and patron deity over dead children and aborted fetuses). Bakusou Usagi to Kame - based on the Tortoise and the Hare. Tsuki no Hime Kaguyan - based on Princess Kaguya. Issun Bushi - based on Issun-bōshi. Most of these Wonder Ride Books are just the names of the folktales with one or two kanji swapped out with another or had another character added to change the names. |

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On an unrelated note, I'm digging all the forms being shown off. As others pointed out, Slash's lower torso is shaped like a door as another nod to the suit's theme. Ja-Oh Dragon Calibur looks good, and I especially like how they handled the pop-up effect with the book. The best match/full combo forms are all neat, although I do feel like they kinda suffer from having their primary color covering their entire suits except for thighs. |
I like how the three Swordriver riders have consistent designs between their two sides, with Saber having long coattails and sloping shoulder armor, Blades having short jacket parts and angular shoulders with fins, and Espada having half-capes and upward points on his shoulders. It makes the suits look at least a little coherent despite how cluttered with motifs they are, and fits with the idea that these three books were meant to go together.

Honestly seeing Calibur getting such a drastic form change next month is kinda weird for me because at this point of the show, he barely registers to me as an actual character. Mysteries about his identity aside, I don't feel like we've gotten a lick of either his motivations or even his personality. I fear I won't get to assign any particular feelings to his first form before this new one shows up.
Other Riders in the past whose purpose at the beginning was to just look cool and stomp on the heroes (Zangetsu, Genm and Horobi particularly come to mind... a lot of purple guys here, huh) at least we got the gist of what their deal was by episode 5-ish, even if it was a really straightforward kind of character. It does look cool though. Also very much like Cross-Z. I look forward to him feeling unstoppable until Saber gets his first-quarter upgrade in December. |
Quick thought:
Is Kamen Rider Saber the only Rider show were the bad guy gets his upgrade form first? If we don’t count the three compatible books as upgrades. Probably not but there's no counter example immediately coming to mind. Quote:

During the first 8-ish episode, when heroes didn't know (or not really sure) Genm was kuroto, we didn't know what he wanted. It was kinda the point of Lazer early arc to investigate Kuroto and getting christmased for trying. And even after Dangerous Zombie debut Kuroto's goal as a game master and wanting to achieve KR Chronicle wasn't immediately clear. He was just being bad and megalo for the sake of being bad and megalo as far as heroes knew. EDIT : Quote:

My main takeaway from this is that I should prepare for whoever is behind that mask to become a meme lord with a god complex later on. Jokes aside, I like early villain Riders with staying power in their respective shows like Genm, Blood Stalk or Horobi, so I hope Calibur sticks around. |

I hope the next item in Saber will be scrolls. Scrolls tell stories as books do.
If this new character is from the south, maybe scrolls can fit there somehow. |
