Oh really? Only have Sword Form so far but the guy shouting it sounds exactly like Momo.

I remember when Wizard was revealed people were happy: more traditional-looking suit design. Cool, easily digestible premise. Can't go wrong with magic and rings and dragons, right? How'd that turn out? I mean, I like Wizard. But he does seem to be the least popular rider since Decade.

My thinking is: unless they just flat out don't care(and this isn't Saban, so that doesn't seem that likely), someone along the line had to think this was a good idea. And it's such a STUPID idea that to make somebody think it was good had to take some insanely awesome kind of pitch. There's been plenty of stupid ideas that have worked in Kamen Rider.

That is brilliant. A little plain, but brilliant.

It may be I don't know, but the belt's voice doesn't change.

If the henshin theme is anything like KyoryuGold's,I'm in.

Kamen Rider Motifs: It's apparently SERIOUS F***ING BUSINESS! :lolol

I don't get it, Gaimu and Zangetsu look like traditional Samurai in traditional Samurai heavy armor, Griton looks like a medieval knight, Balon's horns are the most overtly "fruit" thing about him that I see since his chestplate just looks like yellow segments and not bananas, and Ryugen feels more like a bizarre lizard-bird given the helmet. Why is it getting so much crap before it even airs?
Save that for at least the 10th episode!:lol

Either way, Gaimu looks like it will be fun. Besides, how does a talking bat that blows stained glass whistles while hanging from a guy's waist not sound stupid? And yet Kiva doesn't suck. Kiva is popular, right?

Kivat is awesome!, you can't deny that :lol

And is kiva really that popular, I have fond memories of it because it was my first rider show, but it has various flaws.

Oh and Zangetsu is a lovely design, honestly all the designs look so fresh, both in the fruity and normal sense.

If Balon's isn't this I'm going to be bummed.

Just like people bashing breakdancing/street dancing.Pretty sure there was a popular Kamen Rider based around that already...

When did people start liking Kiva again? For the last several years everyone I've heard talk about it just ragged on the show (and quite justifiably so, it's a deeply, deeply flawed series), but it seems like everyone loves it now. What the hell happened? Why am I the only one who's still sane?

And then there's the mere premise of the DenLiner and it's passengers. No absurdities there! :lol

I share your confusion

Having sort of recently watched Kiva, I think it's okay. But I can definitely see why people dislike it. Those image songs are gold, though.

From the look of that belt it looks like he uses one finger, or even his thumb, to slice it down over the lock. That must've taken alot of months for that suit-actor and actor to get right.

Imagine the band-aid budget on Gaimu!

So, I have given this much thought, and I have arrived to the conclusion that the Sofubi Toys should have Fruit Scents, whatcha think?

Tangy, Juicy, Zesty, Sweet & Sour, and Delicious!
That's what I think, anyway.
I loved fruit-scented markers back in elementary school.

Does every Rider use the Sengoku Driver?

I know they have different LockSeeds but if there's one all purpose Driver, can they use each others' powers at times? Could Baron's actor transform into Gaimu's suit or other variations of that?

I suppose they could swap and change into other's suit.
But the question will be do they really need to do that.
There are 28 DX Seeds, and 40 Gacha Seeds. With that many choices I see they will pick the ones that fits their own dance / battle style and stick with those.

Seeing that,all I can think for the final form now is Gaimu Garden Mode.

Toy preorder images revealed! From Weibo

A pineapple and a strawberry? My favorite color for the main form, and my two favorite fruits for the other? Damn it Bandai, you know how to take a guys money huh?

Oh My God he has Watermelon Armor! That is so awesome it's JUICY! xD

Is that Watermelon Super Armor? That is awesome.

seems to be the power dizer like toy for the season. big mecha melon.

It's like if the characters of Veggie Tales were Shinobi! :lol

Oh man the puns and jokes Sentai shall make now :lol

I knew this gimmick would work out for good toys.

That melon mech is sweet.

Pineapple mace and Strawberry kunai. YES. I'd frontpage these, but we kinda need more info :lol

I think this series might beat Den-O and OOO for craziest ish. What do you think?

Well with Gen Urobuchi as the writer I just hope it's a fucking blood bath.

So crazy looking suits with serious writing? Interesting.

Pretty much. :lol

give it a couple of hours and the full scans will probably be on 2chan or toy world.

You remember how the recent Heisei Era Riders have had a counting thing going on?

Decade: 1 Rider Card
Double/W: 2 Gaia Memories
OOO: 3 Core Medals
Fourze: 4 Switches
Wizard: 5 Elemental Rings

How does Gaimu fit into all this? Look at his Lock Seed when the shackle of the lock (the little u-shaped piece at the top) moves up. Doesn’t the shape remind you of something?

That seems to be stretching it a bit.

from memory an executive said when they announced Gaim was in october they said the number gimmick is dead.

Meh, then I'm just paranoid :lol

Eh, I think they stopped the counting thing with Wizard honestly.
