I'll admit that I was harsh on Rinne's actress when Gotchard began, but her acting has improved by leaps and bounds. She's especially really good in funny moments, and it's reached the point where I sadly feel she's being wasted in this show.

It's apparent that some BTS shenanigans have derailed the series from its original plan. If I recall correctly, Hasegawa didn't even have a villain group in his original plans for the series. And usually when there's a theme song change like this show had, it's a sign that there's been some sort of creative retool.

Wait, did the same thing happen to Blade too at the time of its airing?

Seems like my hypothesis yesterday here is correct. Shouma/human Gavv will transform onscreen in Gotchard's summer film. And is he giving candies to strangers, like Deneb often did in Den-O? Haha. Oh, and the actor is indeed Hidekazu Chinen.

Shoma seems like such an imp to me, very mischievous looking. Also I can't figure out what in the world is going on in the small image of him transforming with the belt. Did... did unzipping the pouch on his jacket turn it into some kind of belly-baring crop top?!

And tbh, I'd believe it if that does end up being the case.

Like we only see mechanical stuff as mechanical because of how we were raised. Who are we as humans to decide what is and isn't the organs of an alien?

And this doesn`t even take into account that Ace has never been an ordinary human, and Houtaro`s father is a shady person. But there definitely weren`t any aliens as the main riders yet.

If he's an alien or mutant, then I guess those talons on Gavv's boots.... Are Shouma's talons?

If the belt does turn out to just be an organic part of Shouma, I guess that means that his suits are still just his body and not an in universe "suit" huh?

Well the news i learned thanks to a friend who is always looking out for new info

Gavv himself eats candy and creates the trinkets viva the belt. Is what I'm told will happen. So its possible he will eat a gummy creating his Gavv base form viva that belt

Several hypotheses already mentioned here are all possible. I think, the possibilities from the least likely to most likely are as follow:
- Shouma is a humanoid alien of a hybrid organic-robotic origin, like I mentioned in my last post. I think this is the least likely one.
- Shouma is an ordinary human who is enhanced with a prosthetic device directly attached to his navel, thus permanently connected to his digestive system. A baby's navel, through the umbilical cord, is where a baby receives oxygen and other nutrients from the mother, and through which a baby's bodily waste is removed. The prosthetic device allows Shouma to form a temporary biological bond with the Poppin Gummy Gochizou.
- Shouma is an ordinary human in a permanent(?), biologically/neurologically-bonded symbiotic relationship with an alien/artificial(?) creature that has the shape of a belt buckle. The creature is like the living, organic version of Kuuga's Arcle Belt, quite similar to Beast Driver, and the bonding process will likely occur in episode 1 (or before episode 1) that chronologically happens before Gotchard's summer film. Similar to point #2 above, the creature allows Shouma to form a temporary biological bond with the Poppin Gummy Gochizou. I think this is the most likely one.



From what I saw, Shouma simply took out the trinket and put it inside the belt buckle and then henshined. The gummies were given to KR Valvarad.

Also yes, but that's cause like in every kr rider appearing, that's AFTER THE FIRST EP

Unlike build which is a different thing all togather.

ok but im talking about the trinkets and how they are created and how I was told they will come into play is by Shoma eating certain candies or junk foods which produce a monster trinket

The only one that was "eating" was the belt buckle when it "ate" the Poppin Gummy RG and Punchin Gummy RG. As far as I can remember, Shouma simply had the Poppin Gummy RG in his right hand and then inserted it into the belt buckle and then henshined. I think that the process of RG creation will be elaborated on in the series.
