Huh, so I guess we were wrong to guess his form based on the image on the sword. Granted I have a feeling that might come into play later.
Still this is pretty unique, and hey! A 2nd Quarter/New Year "Rider" that isn't an enemy but helps out? That's actually a first I think since Mach? |

Here when you say "KR Saikou" the image you should picture in your mind is not humanoid but just the sword. I think that's a first (Well, there was Lazer who was a bike I guess. Not humanoid). But I have no doubt that any figurine branded "KR Saikou" will be released as a humanoid "Saikou Shadow" holding the sword. But technically, the rider is just the sword x) |

Honestly, I really love some of the photos included in these scans, they look like older shows that were shot on film. I miss that aesthetic.

Alright it took me a while with a lot of "zoom an enhance"-ing, but I think I figured out what wonder ride book Saikou uses.
The book itself is named "Kin No Buki, Gin No Buki" which translates to "Golden Wepaon, Silver Weapon" which I think is supposed to be referring to Aesop's "The Honest Woodcutter": Quote:
The Greek version of the story tells of a woodcutter who accidentally dropped his axe into a river and, because this was his only means of livelihood, sat down and wept. Taking pity on him, the god Hermes (also known as Mercury) dived into the water and returned with a golden axe. "Was this what you had lost?", Hermes asked, but the woodcutter said it was not, and returned the same answer when a silver axe was brought to the surface. Only when his own tool is produced does he claim it. Impressed by his honesty, the god allows him to keep all three. Hearing of the man's good fortune, an envious neighbor threw his own axe into the river and wailed for its return. When Hermes appeared and offered him a golden axe, the man greedily claimed it but was denied both that and the return of his own axe.

I really like Shadow Saikou's design, it's very simple but it still looks awesome and I like how it resembles a de-sparkled version of the figure in the book. It's also neat that even though we had a villain associated with Darkness, now there's a warrior of Shadow who seems to be on the side of good (unless Yuri turns out to be part of the evil within SOL).

does this mean a human will eventually possess this sword to be a full time rider?

First post here.
This is incredibly interesting. Though the shape of the "Kin No Buki, Gin No Buki" Wonder Ride Book is rather odd, from what I see of it. It doesn't look like it would make a part of the Spreads that the other Wonder Ride Books do. What a weird shape. |
