Maybe that's the point though, if Zero-Two is really the final form?

From now on they will attempt to make final forms that can stand alongside the Riders' primary designs, rather than loud suits that look really odd when you put many of them together like the Heisei final forms?

Found this and some info from 4chan, and I dunno if it's true, but here ya go.

Toei and bandai had online meeting on 1st june

Toei want to satisfied viewers for the first reiwa rider

Bandai wants more sales

They had costume designer on meeting so they illustrate the idea

The form will be introduce like build rabbit dragon on final episode

The suit will be reusing asset from another form to reduce time and price

The suit still a concept drawn by illustrator, not final product

The ideas is zea and ark power is combined to face a the final villain, thouser is possible

Bandai will reusing base of metal cluster pk for this form

The suit will be built as fast as possible for filming the last episode

Still has no name, in progress by the writer

Color scheme is just like zero two but with more spike like metal cluster

(X) Doubt

I like the bullet point of "Bandai wants more sales" though, as if that's ever not true.

part of me wishes that rumor were true cuz itd be like "oh so thats why zero two looks so basic cuz they're TOTALLYYYY just gonna give aruto a elaborately dumb an spikey final form anyway to stop thouser or arc or whoever"
plus bandai would be able to make even moreeeee money via figures an probably premium bandai sales if that rumor were true.
an guys like me get a more satisfying final form thats mega pointy an extra as heck which pleases the inner 14 year old.
itd be a win win win, but yeah because rumor....cant get to hype so ugh.
to paraphrase someone on this thread like yeah everyone will probably get used to zero two once we get story context an actually see him fight, alot of us probably still pre ordered the toy anyway so blah but....the inner 14 year old is POWERFUL an wants a dumb final form that makes the yellow green bug man REALLY POINTY an kick EVEN HARDER. i agree the whole debacle is silly too cuz obviously aruto is gonna get a even finaler form anyway for the epilogue movie. but again inner 14 year wants pointy an dumb nowwwwww. cause being different is scary yo! an im allowed to complain even tho i aint the target audience an spent 60 bucks pre ordering the toy for zero two anyway cuz japanese capitalism is more powerful then jiren lol

See to me, Zero One's forms are like Frieza from DBZ, on how the final forms of both Zero One and Frieza's look simple and share similarities with the first form, while the other forms are a bit more out there.

Yea, gotta have to mega doubt that rumor, too. Like it's way too convenient that this rumor started to appear after a number of people (myself included) were underwhelmed or outright admitted to hating Zero-Two. And Thouser as the final boss? Mega doubt that too, considering that for that to happen, Gai would have to upgrade Thouser, which is an admittance that he and Thouser aren't "perfect". Completely counter to what his character has been established as. Though I'm unaware about the quarter sales and stuff, what're they like?

My older brother made the same comparison. I can deeply respect that style of final form, though I still wish that Zero-Two had a little more to it, though definitely not to the degree of the "rumored" final form, which is absurdly cluttered.

ehhh true true, i like that meme pic too.
thankfully cool fanart has helped me get use to the design....even tho said fanarts look
cooler then the actual show but thats the power of fanart, plus there are gonna be some sickkkk customs of the Rkf an figurearts to help relax the admittingly petty nerd salt.
literally just spray paint zero two green an give him a actually scarf an bam....uhh actual green not flurecent green lol
ive only been a rider fan for like a year so i aint as cynical to dumb elaborate spikey forms yet like yall but sighhhh.
the dumber the better i say.
its why i love hyper muteki so much

on the subject of the true final boss id love it if izu just becomes corrupt an aruto has to take her out.
would make the "true final form" even neater cuz itd be aruto using both zea an the arks power to bring izu back an hopefully not kill her. but thatd be to cool so it cant happen....i cant be the only one who pessimistically wants a bittersweet ending thatd involve izu "dying" right? id cry like a little girl but ughh want

I do have one nitpick on Zero-Two..... I wish the boots are red.

Honestly?

Same.

If I would change anything actually, I think the chest should be entirely silver. Not only would that do juuuust enough for me so that it no longer looks like a kitbash, but it also further emphasises the yellow of the legs, which I think is important to be consistent in order to build on the jumping theme.
