Really digging this suit and the power up forms too.
This series looks really fun, and can't wait to hear more solid info on cast and story. Quote:
Everything seems to point to a possible Woman Rider and they were trying to keep it hush hush until the formal announcement. And tbh. About time. Perfect way to end the era and prep for the next. The toys are going to sell no matter what anyway if the suit is cool. This feels like a Decade/W situation too, where we might get two celebratory ones. Really likely 3 if you think about. End of one era, beginning of the next era, then 50th anniversary. So I think we're in for a wide amount of surprises coming up. Especially if this one does well, and it likely will. And people saying "not the right time for this", you're half right. The right time was back in the 70s with Tackle from Stronger getting a spinoff but due to reasons couldn't(speaking of! Her 60th birthday is this year isn't it?). But now is good too. This could be really interesting on the toy market too, as the rider form is predominately non-gendered like Ixa and others were. And it's not like they make figures of the out of suit identities for mainlines all that often to at all outside of collector areas. And Yup. Kyoko Okada's 60th birthday is this October too. The original Tackle from Stronger. October 21, 1958. So this would be absolutely perfect timing. Doesn't get much better than lining up to a significant date pertaining to what was supposed to be the first Fem Rider ever. Last edited by Librarian; 07-11-2018 at 06:45 AM.. |

I'm going to take a random guess entirely here.
Zi-O is the lead rider. Secondary is the tutor for Zi-O but is only 8-9 years older. Not brother and sister, but sometimes do act like it. The older one tends to be more background though wanting Zi-O to take center stage but may have a tendency to act all know it all, but Zi-O is as smart, and catches onto things the other misses in details, might even be smarter and is definitely heavily sarcastic and for lack of a better word, a little sassy(in a fun way!). And it's likely because of the secondary that Zi-O gets their change device and is immersed in rider history/lore. But it's something they both enjoy. May have a growing romance angle, but may not start that way. They are moderately similar with a few minor differences due to age/experience and how that alters their perceptions. Both have attitude and are a bit "deadpool" like, but from different angles. That's my random theory. Partially based on the Stronger/Tackle dynamic if we're going by her 60th birthday. Or new theory. One belt/henshin device but two different people use it at different times. The poses seem too different to be the same. And the suit actors seem different too. Which if it's only one rider with "AM" and "PM" forms, maybe AM is one wearer, and PM is a different wearer and they trade who wears it for some reason. If it was the same person, you'd think the hand gestures wouldn't be so wildly different to convey such different attitudes. And it would be an interesting inversion of the W motif of two in one. Fits the time theme too. One would be a morning person, and the other would be a night owl/up late kind of person. This would fit sibling(adopted maybe?) theory too, or potentially live together for some reason. Or maybe even something kind of like "Last Hope" with the 'found family' aspect of raising each other.

Yeah, Zi-O defintiely looks like a woman. The chest plate is EXTREMELY pronounced, even compared to this “secondary” guy.
Very cool! I wonder if they were inspired to do this by the new Doctor Who. I’ve always said Rider is Japan’s Who, and it’s interesting that 2018 will see both the first main lady Rider (most likely) and the first woman Doctor! |

So one's a classic dial clock while the secondary is a digital clock? Will we get a third? Maybe a "sundial"?

...I think this might add fuel to the "Zi-O is female" fire. I've been wondering if this whole "king" thing still holds water, though... |

Do we know when there will be a official announcement ? I'm really digging this new rider's look and would be really disappointed if it turned out not to be a lady rider at this point .

In the next 2 weeks, I should say though don't get too hyped for a female main Rider, it's nothing but speculation at this point.

I'm wondering when we'll get more scans because we still haven't seen the toys
