So... Nico wins the Kamen Rider Chronicle game, and her prize is the right to use its Gashat and become Kamen Rider Chronos? Is that what this will probably lead into?

I think the leaked catalogue used male pronouns for Chronos when mentioning the ability to control time

Japanese doesn't even do gendered pronouns.

Though he was drawn with a male frame so it's the safe assumption.

I cannot wait for Kamen Rider Nico to be a thing. However now I'm a bit worried for her fate. Because well... generic rider design despite all the little details that are cool.

Not to mention Taiga's whole, "I have nothing to lose" not knowing he technically does with Nico. Things are going to get tragic aren't they?

Also kind of had a theory, that if a Ride Player gets enough points they get the chance to become Kamen Rider Chronos, basically an upgrade for doing well. But at that point their stripped of their free will and become bosses of Kamen Rider Chronicle to challenge players. Kind of like how Odin was using hosts in Ryuki.

Fuck
Nico gets corrupted by the Ride Player
Taiga is forced to fight her
Taiga only defends himself as he realizes it's a life or death situation
Nico gets the kill
NONONONONOOOOOO

Have I ever mentioned how much I love the virus mooks' costume change gimmick? You can see the Tokimeki Crisis ones wearing maid outfits in that new scan.

Somebody mentioned in the other thread that the little stumpy gashat-lets are called Gashatrophies, and they power up Ride Players who defeat the corresponding bugster. Apparently Nico earns a few right off the bat, which might explain why her Ride Player is more customized? Either way, glad she actually got to be one like people were speculating.

Para-DX is my new favorite. Look at that lv 99 form.

So Nico is in the new opening. Pretty prominently too, she's in the sequence of the Riders holding their Gashats now that both Kiriya and Kuroto are gone, and she's also in the circle where all the Riders transform.

So she...may actually turn out to have actual plot relevance? Is she...

Is she????

^ And someone on another forum pointed out that Nico's shot is shown when the lyrics said, "A new beginning". Could be coincidence, or could mean something...

continuing from that, the Gashat possessed her before generating its own body, and Nico would then continue fighting... as "a new beginning" of... SNIPE"
