Kamen Rider Zeztz
 

Our next Rider???

https://x.com/trademark_bot/status/1902014849691144269

when you say it out loud it kind of sounds like the buzzing of insect wings. could be another insect themed one?

They're really into the letter "Z" with this one, even the katakana are stylized to look like Zs in the logo.

ZZZ? Clearly a sequel to OOO.

Is it just me, or does it seem too early to be getting leaks? It feels like we used to not get the next rider's name until the last third or even quarter of the current one.

But assuming this is true, I'm relieved to finally see the G streak end. If not for Gavv, I'd joke about it being an alteration of "zest" and having a food theme XD Would be neat if the driver made a buzzing sound like insects or electricity and the name was an onomatopoeia of that, it'd be a twist on the way some drivers announce the rider's names

If I recall we found out Gavv started filming in March of 2024

And if they are sticking with the early filming schedule which it seems like they are, it makes sense the trademarks start being pushed earlier too.

So, pronounced like "Zettsu" according to the kana. Interesting.

"Zetsu" can mean to "end" something, but then there is also the "ZZZ" theming. So something about sleep (dreams maybe?), but also very final? Z is the last letter of the alphabet after all, so I suppose it all meshed rather well.

It feels so early, but considering Toei is pre-filming now, perhaps this is a sign that the show is going to start filming in April like I've seen some suggest.

My money is 100% already down on some sort of sleep/nap or dream/day-dreaming theme though.

Is it possible for the next rider to have Kabuto & Stronger vibes? The JP rhino beetle motif.

Can imagine a touch of Blade too.

Well, that's an interesting name. In principle, I like both the buzzing insect motif and the concept of the Dream Warrior. Or maybe, given how much attention is paid to Z in the logo, this is Kamen Rider based on Zorro? It's high time to give the rapier into the hero's hands. Although, in fact, all three assumptions do not contradict each other and may turn out to be true.I wonder if the story of Gavv will repeat itself, when all the information about the rider almost immediately hit the net? In any case, I will wait for news.

But what if this is the Shinkengers' case?

I really hope it isn't a dream-themed KR, because I've been working on an original toku-inspired story idea on and off for years now that's dream-themed. It'd be so goddamn awkward and stuff.

Oh boy. I usually use "snooze fest" as an insult for Toku shows that try to bore me to death.

This is a bad omen.

Not sure what to expect from this as far as themes go (I'm sure henshinzero has at least a dozen suggestions, though), but I'm going to go in operating under the assumption that the main Rider, at least, will be fully clean.

What does that mean?

You always have lots of ideas for what theme the next show should have.

Yep, sounds like the plural of Z in Japanese phonetics, Zetto.

Nice observation. Seems likely that it could be a pun on Z and zetsu. If it's dream-related, then I wonder what the Driver will say, since the Ghost Driver already has dibs on "Oyasumi".

You mean since it was preceded by 2 G Sentai and succeeded by 3 more?

Don't let it bother you. You'll always be the original.

Yes. G is a very popular first letter.

How on earth did they come up with this name lol

That's my personal guess too. If it's indeed dream based, I guess the enemies will be based on nightmares.

I believe the Gavv Whipier is based on a rapier, in name if nothing else.
(I've also got an idea for a fanmade rider who wields a rapier)

I think a sleep themed Rider show could be interesting. Like, every time the protagonist transforms they conk out, projecting their Rider form into reality from their sleeping body. :lolol

I also like to imagine that after Gavv some Toei higher-ups were like "we need a healthier idea than junk food next time", and came up with "getting adequate sleep".

On riderwiki they write that it is a spear:
https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/Gavvwhipir
But visually... I am equally ready to believe that it is a sword and a scepter.

Perhaps one of the writers is a fan of Ohgamen:

So we're getting riders who fight inside a dream world and into reality?

Dream world & nightmare world huh?

It's just a guess, we still don't know the theme yet.

Personally, I think it most closely resembles a lance.

Yeah, it's definitely too soon to get attached to any theories. We're all just guessing at this point

So this must be the one where the titular rider falls asleep while transformed and fights nightmares that have manifested into reality. And Kento Handa will appear as the mattress salesman who comes up with all the tech like Tachibana. :lolol

Ah, you beat me to it. :lolol

Looking forward to finding out more about this Rider!

Damn, this advice is easier said than done. Even if I want to sleep, my mind and body often resist.

Maybe we could see some cool CGI environments like the Underworld in Wizard and Wonder World in Saber.

We have a rumoured design already, this is supposedly from a Chinese leaker who got a lot of Gavv stuff right

It looks simple but interesting. The small fangs remind me of Kiva. I think if these drawings are true, we'll see a Kaijin-related rider again. I doubt they'll use the family connection again after Gavv, so maybe Zeztz is a deserter? Or is it like Oni from Hibiki, where the hero needs to become a monster/monster-like to fight evil.

This reminds me of Geats, where looking at his helmet from the side lets you see how the ?A? is emphasized.

Oooo, I'm very curious about this one!

Do you happen to know what past info they leaked specifically? I'd love to get a sense for how beleivble this is....

On its own though the helmet is quite cool! The design makes me wonder tho if the "Z's" are supposed to resemble lightning bolts though hmmmm

So.... no more 'G' riders? I guess the G saga ends here hehe

In any case, like the others have said I can only think of sleeping zzz's and insect buzzing noises when I see the name, maybe something to do with dream insects, like insects who come in the main rider's dreams and gives him powers? lol

You can call him Gegtg if you want to (and if you can figure out how to pronounce it).

Or call him GGG or G’s

Boy, it's that time again... It hasn't felt that long ago since Gavv started airing (which usually means I'm really enjoying the series).

Anyway, looks like we're catching some Zs. The G Trilogy is over (as everyone's already joking about) but this is another odd name. Maybe it's because the spelling almost looks like "zect" I think bug theme, but that might not be the case.

Regardless, I'm curious to see what Zeztz will bring, but I'm having fun with Gavv so I can wait.

If this is accurate, then I already love him.

The name sounds like back to basic with the big 55 anniversary next year. I excited to see what this rider going to be about.

I feel like there might be a sleep theme.
(I didn't notice when someone else posted about the possible sleep theme, but between the abundance of Zs, both in the name, and on the helmet, it feels likely.)
