The joke's probably been made but seriously, Toei will probably make a special where Kamen Rider Blade fights Blades huh? They love that kind of fanservice.

Do the new items act like Core Medals?

Yeah, the way the Driver works more or less is that the sword acts like an OOO scanner. It's a pretty clever way of doing it, gotta admit!

Except oops does a better job showing the gimmick while i wish this hide the gimmick. However, the sword as the main toy is dinky even if Its 2 in 1. The books looks so awkward . I can see them having a lot of ng with the books flipping out. Imagine fighting the motw with three open flapp Kind of want the books to disappears or fade away when they're not in used. It just doesn't look uniform or cohesive to the whole suit design package. Ever since the ghost dupe, they're trying to doubling and tripling the gimmick for more combos aside from 01 which is back to stable sleek form of early Heisei era.

I've been juggling with some thoughts in my head about this Driver for a bit now, so basically my positives are:-
- The Driver essentially being a disguised OOO scanner is a very clever and very neat way of going about it! We haven't really seen a 'scanner' type thing in a while as the main gimmick, and I think it's pulled off pretty well here. - The sword being included with the belt is... great! It makes it feel a LOT more like part of Saber, Blades etc.'s kit without feeling like a forced prerequisite as many Rider swords do especially recently, and as a toy you're just getting a lot more out of this as a product. I'm also not sure we've seen anything like this before? We've seen weapons as drivers to be sure, stuff like the Shotriser was awesome; but I don't think we've seen a weapon and a belt working in tandem outside of some upgrades. I really like this, stands out a lot! - The sword itself looks pretty nice! Bit dinky? Well... yeah, but this is a DX Rider toy. I've kinda made peace with that for a good while now and for what it is it looks very nice, and I like what they seem to be doing with different books giving different blade light colours to differentiate each Rider's sword. - The way three books line up with each other is a really nice way of creating a picture! I've mostly seen it so far with the Zero-One 'books' but it's VERY cool overall and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. But that's unfortunately where the positives end for me -- much as I like the sword, the driver itself is VERY bland, and is only worse when the sword is pulled out of it (so all the time after transforming). I wish they'd gone for some sort of more interesting shape or colour or design to it but as-is it just looks like a chunk of black plastic... which, admittedly, is not easy to work around with the gimmick item. Much as I like how the completed picture looks, the books themselves feel like a very awkward idea for a gimmick item and unless there's a lot of them, they just don't look great in the driver. I'm also not a fan of the VERY long jingles; I'm into the sillier side of singing drivers, I like me some Ghost rapping and I LOVE me some Grand Zi-O; but if every jingle's gonna be a giant speech, I'm gonna get tired of it very quickly. Remember when after the first few henshins they started cutting down Grand Zi-O's jingle a lot at the end of Zi-O? Remember how awkward that was? Be prepared for that in, like, all but three episodes of this season.

Wonder how Saber’s gimmick will feel like OOO and Build? After seeing the books of Zero-One, there must be a “Best Match” somewhere in the books.
What would connect to Saber’s dragon and Blades’ lion? |
