I just realized the Kuuga form artwork is white. That's very odd to use Growing form in the artwork

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. I hope the series isn't too light with the poor designs of legendary riders. They look like they're going over the top again and most form look like the past years ganbarzing exclusive. The same fan service they did with all the dragonball characters nowadays. No stakes. Btw I doubt they can deage characters like marvel if they're using time travel. However, it's better than the AU recast, which is a big mistake. Idk if Neo Heisei rider signed a multiple film contract or not like marvel and it's obligated to return.

I wonder since Zi-O is time travel themed, what if Zi-O performed some sort of "Flashpoint" on half of the Heisei era?
Kuuga's original actor won't return anyway. And what if some riders from every season get an upgrade. ex. Zangetsu Jinba. |

They can tried in suit with a voice actor that sound like him for a brief or epic moment. I guess the villain group won't be comprise of an handful or army of generals instead it'll integrate past villains designs like gokaiger.

Can't believe it, that Decade artwork is almost the exact same one that came out with that batch of fake artwork on April first.
Edit: Wow, nevermind. My memory was way off. Finally found the old artwork, waaay wrong. At least I'll admit it. Lol! I blame the large shoulder pads. That's what sparked my memory. Lol

Writing by Yasuko makes sense - she wrote some of the most popular Rider shows in history including Den-O, OOO and Ryuki and most recently was the head writer on both Amazons S1 + 2. That being said, she rarely writes for cross-overs. Moreover, people have noted that her schedule should be pretty full coming up due to her involvement in writing the new JoJo anime.
It seems very unlikely she'd write a crossover show. Regarding "Blood" though, we do have the oddity of several Build characters in the gimmick action figure toyline for Zi-O (Build, Cross-Z, Build Cross-Z, Evol), so that could indicate them all appearing in several episodes. |

Which riders can make returns in Zi-O? Here's mine:
Build: Build, Cross-Z, Grease & Rogue Ex-Aid: Ex-Aid, Para-DX, Poppy & Lazer Ghost: Ghost, Specter & Necrom Drive: Drive, Mach & Chaser Gaim: Gaim & Zangetsu (Shin) Wizard: Wizard Fourze: Meteor OOO: OOO & Birth. Maybe bring out ReBirth W: Accel & Joker. Maybe turn Phillip to KR Cyclone or Fang. Decade: Decade Kiva: ? Den-O: ? Kabuto: ? Hibiki: Maybe get them wiped out Blade: ? 555: ? Ryuki: Ryuki, Knight, Zolda, Ouja & Odin Agito: ? Kuuga: Maybe get him wiped out What's yours? |
