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.

So regarding that, here are some theories I have.

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. |

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. |
