This new guy's DEFINITELY going to be the sea/ocean element. Wonder how they're differentiate sea/ocean and water.

I heard some speculation it's going to be magnetism or something because sea creatures use echolocation/sonar. There's even a sonar symbol thing on the chest.

AAAAAAAAAAHH okay !! Now I understand what was bugging me since yesterday and the shark theme.
When Reika first appeared, her name in auto translator, like the twitter one, kept on being translated "Kamishiro" and not "Shindai". And "Kamishiro" reminded me of my fav character in Yugioh Zexal : Kamishiro Ryoga. And you know what ? Kamishiro Ryoga as a duelist had a nickname : Shark. and he played a deck mostly built on Sharks and Ocean themed cards. Now guess what is the name of our new guy Kamen Rider Durendal ? exactly : Shindai Ryoga. and he is the big brother of Reika. Shindai Reika : 神代 玲花 Shindai Ryoga : 神代 凌牙 Kamishiro Ryoga : 神代 凌牙 Someone at Toei is a fan of Yugioh Zexal it seems ^^ EDIT : now that I think about it, Dezast is voiced by Uchiyama Koki, who voiced the second Deuteragonist of Yugioh Zexal : Tenjo Kaito Last edited by Omnikaiser; 03-28-2021 at 12:47 AM.. |

Yugioh often has the protag + the (best) friend rival + the edgy rival. But Zexal was a bit more complicated about the trio. With some plot twists and all that shaked who was the deuteragonist and tritagonist. Shark and Kaito were pretty much equal (to me). I wonder why they chose that yugioh reference for a rider though. It must have been thought from almost the start since Reika appeared early. Im also surprised they chose the name Durandal for him because there is nothing that ties the Durandal myth with the Sea/Ocean or a trident ? |

That's the name of a legendary sword, just like Excalibur (Durandal being the second most famous sword where I'm from, just behind it). Hence my surprise a bit. It's a bit more meaningful than just naming your rider "Kamen Rider Thrust" or "Kamen Rider Fencer". And the Durandal/Roland legend doesn't really have something to do with the ocean. That's why I'm wondering. |

In later works in the Matter of France (which is just a collection of a bunch of Medieval France legends and myths) Durandal was said to have been owned by Hector of Troy who is popularly a spear user, so some works inspired by this try to connect these two ideas in some way. I guess in this Durandal is a swordsman who uses a trident (three pronged spear). That's cool. I don't know what the ocean/wildlife has to do with Durandal, if anything but I'm game.

Right, so Durandal's WRB is called Ocean History, and is an animal book. This makes me wonder as to what the heck his Seiken's element is, as the Nagare is already the sword of water.

He could be a time-based rider, which kinda sounds OP. However, he can still be a water swordsman, still since there's not really a rule that there can't be two similar elements, just so he can parallel with Rintarou. Much like Sabela whose outward motif is bugs yet is a smoke swordswoman, Durandal's motif are oceanic creatures, but his element probably wouldn't be water. |
