So I suppose this is a definitive deconfirmation on what we saw in the cast leak that said Tycoon's sister would be Dapan and Tsumuri would be Merry, unless they somehow get those powers later and we've been inadvertently spoiled on some late-series turn of events.

On the one hand, I was excited at the prospect of having three female Riders this early in the series. But on the other hand, it always did seem kind of unlikely. And hey, glass half full, I'm excited to see Nossan's actor as a Rider, and these character descriptions all sound like they could be pretty interesting.

I've been duped! Thinking that Tsumuri would be Merry!

Guess Nago's the only female rider for now. Just wish for more.

Well, judging by this description and the phrase "team leader", those who want to see the royal battle of the riders will have to wait for the second or third arc. At first, a maximum of verbal skirmishes and minor fights for items are waiting for us, which is also confirmed by the trailer.

I'm sure there will be more. Even if they suddenly decide not to introduce an additional female rider in the second half of the show, there is definitely a role for her in the film.

And the first was? IDK

Kyoryu Black was Zamonas from the Zi-O Summer Movie if I recall.

White is a color of death. Hmm, a certain character better kakugo-Shiro for Christmas!

If we're including VAs, there are technically 3 Kyoryuger Kamen Riders, as Yamamoto Shouma who portrayed Taiga/Kamen Rider Saga also voiced Brave Kyoryu Gold.

If my recollection is correct, Shiro is also the third Rider who's named exclusively after a color, following Black and Verde. All different languages as well.

Cost cutting like sentai reusing base monster suit. These legendary and early elemental forms will be bland repaint until the super and mid season power up form.

I know. I was speaking with a hypothetical question that has an answer.

Yeah, I'm thinking since they didn't have actors announced or ready to announce at that point they just conflated those two Riders with the other female actresses that are part of the cast even though they're not actually Riders.

Although other Takahashi "mascot" girls have become Riders, so I wouldn't be surprised if Tsumuri does become one at some point.
