She uses the lower legs from 001 which I think were reused from Night Rogue.

Yeah but Thouzer's basically a joke now. Everybody's beating him up, his public image is being tainted by the hijacked ZAIASpecs and he thinks ripping off Kamen Rider Chronicle and making civilians Horseshoe Crab Raiders to deal with them is a viable solution. As a company president with a legal responsibility for the safety of his clients, he should discontinue the product until it's fixed and focus on a more ethical way to make money but of course that's not going to happen, this is Gai.

If Horobi turns on the Ark, he's going to need a power-up to match the other heroic Riders in more than skill and I actually just want him to get a new form anyway, even though his default is still totally cool and effective. I'm not going to disagree that a new form for Valkyrie would be appreciated but I'm cool with Lightning Hornet and I think maybe Bandai would want to prioritize a more profitable male Rider.

At this point I'm scared we won't see a new Valkyrie form till a Vulcan and or Valkyrie V-Cinema.

My current guess is that she'll get a Fighting Jackal form (as in a proper rider form in the shotriser, but probably still just a kitbash from the Jackal Raider) right towards the end of the series, and then an actual upgrade in a V-Cinema. Based on how upgrades sometimes "cascade" down primary-secondary-tertiary riders, I'd hope for it to be based on Assault Wolf / Shining Assault Hopper, though maybe with a differently coloured version of the Assault Grip.

As for Naki, my best guess is they're either using a totally new key or they're using Neohi. It's a white zetsumerise key, and the claws (especially with those blue tubes running down them) could just about be passed off as tentacles. Maybe. Regardless, I'm incredibly glad they're getting a form at all - I was very worried they wouldn't (plus, getting a female 3rd rider and the series' first nonbinary rider in the same show? Toei is really heading in the right direction).

Also quick crackpot theory: Ark's gonna force itself onto Izu and make her the true final boss.

I wonder if Subaru can get through to Ikazuchi that he's still his brother regardless of being a member of MetsubouJinrai.net?

Hope Subaru can keep the Dodo key as a keepsake.

That would be great, since with Naki getting a Rider form, Izu is really the only major character left who doesn't have one.

There's word and images floating around that Ark Zero form changes...

It's called Ark one.

Right, that will definitely be what that malice learning progrise key will be for, right.
