Well dang! This is either some very solid fanwork or these first rumours were bang on. Not often that the initial rumours are even remotely true, let alone this accurate...
Assuming this is true, it looks like we've got two "swords" in the belt. Toy prices imply there's no electronics in them, so I guess it's very similar to say the Build Driver. If mrinfobox is right though, it's more a case of one sword as the "base form" and another as the "additional armour", rather than another half-and-half situation. The white sword side taking up about 2/3 of the suit seems to back that idea up. That said, this would seem to be a different base form to the blue one with the jagged-sword eye mrinfobox described, but using the same Dragon-themed supplementary armour. Perhaps the base forms are different types of swords, and the right-side armours are more varied? Of course, there are a handful of other inconsistencies but this does seem remarkably accurate! (I suppose it's technically possible that Wildstyle and mrinfobox are the same person inventing rumours for a laugh, but I think that's unlikely, and even if it was true it's fun to play along and speculate) |

I love the idea of a dominant side and a supplemental armor. The placement of the dragon armor reminds me of traditional Japanese tattoos in the Hikae style.

Dammit, I knew there was another example I couldn't think of! Yes, that's exactly my suspicion. Only, y'know, with Saber actually using the different mix-ups, as I think in Drive's case that only happened a handful of times (Speed - Rumble Dump, Speed - Mad Doctor, Deadheat - Max Flare).

I dunno, i feel like that might be a fake? A well done fake, but still a fake. Like, doesn't anyone else feel like the dragon face on the chest armor looks way too similar to Cross-Z Charge?

The whole design looks very Build-esque. I wouldn't mind a similar aesthetic, I loved the style of Build's riders, but it does make the leak a bit hard to believe

I hope that's not it; looks like a rejected Build form. If it is real, it better look amazing in action to justify yet another split-in-half gimmick.

Yea, and honestly, something about the face doesn't feel right, either. Like I can't really tell what's supposed to be the eyes. Like is it the "white sword" and "red sword"? Or is it the black areas below them that are the eyes and he's just looking at a downward angle?
That, and the fact that the text just "happens" to be cut off like that? Very convenient, as if they just wanted there to be "just enough Japanese" to make it look like it could be legit. Last edited by MKDremare; 06-23-2020 at 10:52 PM.. |

I think it looks awesome personally. I love the asymmetry, the color scheme and the sword emblem on the center of the helm.
