Thanks, now Dread will be forever known as Makai Rider Dread. :lolol
Or would it be Horror Rider being a villain and all. :lolol
I mean, the suit does give off Makai Knight Kiba vibes but in a dark shade of violet now that you mention it.


UPDATE. Sabimaru likely will be Kamen Rider Dread from the looks of it.

SPOILERS


News flash, Sabimaru will be forced to transform into Kamen Rider Dread, so I wonder if we might see a few more others become Dread or it's just gonna be him and we move on to someone else who will be Dread for good.

Could be true. Perhaps Shiori will conveniently use her dimension-bending ability to unexpectedly put the new Driver on the desperate Sabimaru? She can easily steal stuffs from inside a secure, closed storage, so this kind of feat is child's play to her. Though, I'm not a fan of the Kaixa/Delta trope (one Driver/powerset being used by several people).

Kamen Rider Dread looks amazing! For a Villain Rider to appear this early on and look this good is quite honestly a delight for me.

Wouldn't have minded too much not having a Villain Rider but I can't deny they looks great.

As for the new Gotchard Forms, I kind of like them. Sure, X Rex has a color scheme very similar to Elemental Dragon, but I kind of think this works better? As for UFO, it reminds me of Fourze Magnet States, which I kind of enjoy.

Good stuff.

So Dread made his appearance in this weeks episode. So obviously, the episode recap has some extra notes on him:

Dread uses RepliChemy Cards, inverted colored RCCs, with a slightly different energy bar, and some kind of change to the Text I can't clearly see.

https://www.tokunation.com/forums/at...1&d=1700961864

They're created from all the Blank RCCs that got stolen.

Dread also specifically uses RepliChemy Steam Liner to transform, and then Drains the others to use them in battle. This process is stated to essentially sacrifice them but... "There are many Replichemy cards, so
just squeeze out as much power as you can and forget the rest. It's disposable." -Atropos

Speaking of Drain, the Dread Driver apparently also can absorb the knowledge of the wielder, a key reason as to why Sabimaru was taken. With the added benefit that Sabimaru, apparently/when forced to, fights like Hotarou, using the Chemies for their individual characteristics. (This also means Spanner is now totally having an Arc where he learns to see his Chemies as more than tools)

So what im hearing is, Dread is going to be multiple people for a little while, before going to a single person for the rest of the time. So that way Dread has taken in a lot of knowledge from the past users

hopfuly dread stays a villain

Whoever the sole user will end up being, I can picture Dread having a Kamen Rider G4 moment. Maybe Kugimiya?

Whoever takes up the mantle of dread is most likely going to have a upgrade

Cause Dread is called kamen rider Dread Type Zero

meaning this is only Dread's first rider form, which kinda means we will get a newer version of dread later
