I mean that's why they're rumors. The same rumor said the original idea was a female lead so that could mean the idea changed in development. And never bet on rumors being entirely true, even if accurate thus far.
The DX line is being marketed as a boys toyline, so it only makes sense to showcase the transformation using a male for promotional purposes. That would assure vendors that the toyline is still being designed for the primary audience in mind. That being said, between the illustration, the fact that Gates has separate DX releases from Zi-O and the physique of the in-suit pictures, it's extremely likely that Zi-O is not female. Weirder things have happened before so I'm not going to deny it until there is confirmation on casting and story details.
I want to say I like this toyline but we're seeing the return of the big clunky CGI "titan" we managed to avoid with Build so can't say I am too pleased with that. It looks butt-ugly but it comes with the OOO RideWatch so I assume it's a reference to TrideVendor. Then again, Den-O's bundled toy is a RideWatch holder so it might not be entirely related (I guess Den-O is a time traveler too, so I guess anything could be a reference to him). And as expected from the listings, Suika Arms, Taka Candroid, and Faiz's Phone will be used as items/weapons as well.
Alas, Zi-O has a bike. Thank the lord. I like that the Rider Kick's Figure Armor's can be used with both Zi-O and Gate. It seems that Gate is really getting the short end of the stick here - he's only slated to get Kiva, Wizard and Faiz going forward, while Zi-O gets everyone else.
I think what is interesting to note here is that every Rider Armor is based on the base form except Drive and OOO, which are based on Type Tridoron and Super TaToBa respectively. And I can't really tell here but it looks like Kuuga is in Growing Form. I wonder what that is all about?
And last but not least, the upgrade form seems to be Decade! That's actually pretty awesome. Zi-O will get completely new armor, a new weapon (Heiseiber) and a unique RideWatch that can mix and match with other Heisei RideWatch's (Build-Decade is showcased on the scans). It looks to summon a stronger form as the Build depicted being mixed with Decade is RabbitTank Sparkling. Looks like Decade is gonna have a strong presence this season!
Also lmao the last four RideWatch's seem to be for Rider's that have the hardest actors to get back. *EDIT: I read that wrong. Regardless, Masaki Suda and Odagiri Jo will be a challenge lol.
