Well, that's what I get for going solely off of the sleeve design.

Is Hironobu Kageyama singing the jiingles again in Saber ?

No, the jingles are done by Eizo Sakamoto with Akio Otsuka being the deep voice

concept forms are back btw

Huh, that's honestly really cool to see that they held back the Concept Forms because they decided this time they'd let us have our imaginations run wild and mix and match different forms with Riders.

It’s kind of interesting to see how this works — that of all things, the thighs are the one constant.

Shouldn’t the left side of Saber and Blades’ helmets here be yellow instead of black, too?

Now I wanna see what Buster and Kenzan would look like using Brave Dragon and Lion Senki.

I wonder though why Espada differs from Saber, Blades, hell even Calibur slightly.

Espada's base armor is white with the lining having gold spikes while Blades and Saber are consistent with the black base armor. Calibur even shares the black base armor as well kinda.

That's not really anything new. Necrom's base suit was practically in the same boat when it came to differences between him and Ghost and Spectre. It's just a change that helps differentiate riders while matching with their overall color scheme or detail specifics, especially when most are using the base suit design.

Necrom debuted in the second quarter and used a markedly different transformation device, though.
To go off of your Ghost example, all actual Ghost Driver uses do look basically the same, under the hoodie, when in their base forms.

The site has a few quirks that prevent some forms from displaying properly, hopefully they get fixed.

One interesting thing to note is that the spiked lines (on his top half at least) are on their own layer marked "spine." Under that Espada has a base suit identical to Saber/Blades (outside of color). Now granted that's probably just for convenience since the spikes would overlap with some of the right side forms, but it could also mean it's an alteration not actually part of the base, caused by either Lamp do Alangina or the Ikazuchi Emblem or something.

The actual color doesn't really feel out of place to me. It's true that Saber and Blades both have black armor on the sides, but then Blades and Espada both have gunmetal on the middle. Saber with his white middle and Espada with his white sides are both just unique in that way,

And Blades has those white lines. Each of the 3 Sword Riders have something different.

There's something about Blades with Brave Dragon that's really appealing to me, ngl

He looks so naked without his lion center, though...

How did you even get that concept? The program won't let me remove the default books for some reason.

Wait, where are we all getting these!?

There’s a page on the Kamen Rider webpage. I’ve got a retweet to it on my twitter page. I’m there under “4thdocactinfig”.

Thanks!

Here is a link to Bandai's page for the thing itself: https://toy.bandai.co.jp/series/ride.../encyclopedia/

I don't think it's as good as some fan-made flash players out there, but it's cute.

Yeah, it's really annoying that you have to reset the whole thing before changing forms, but at least we still get the concept art/ theoretical forms!

Yeah, I’d like to know this too!

So... did anyone else notice that the writing behind Blades in that encyclopedia very clearly spells out Kamen Rider Blaze?

Very carefully.

The site works by layering pngs on top of each other, so messing around with inspect element you can get all the parts, and then you can do whatever you want.

Here's a gallery with all currently possible forms, including ones the battou site doesn't let you do.

Worth noting though that that Blades undersuit is technically not actually the official/canon one, the real base has a white forehead like Saber, so it's edited to match the midsection. Espada only has half a white mask too, so that's been edited as well.

OH!! Thank you!!
Will you be adding to this as we get more books, by any chance?

And multiple cards have used Blades.
It’s another Gord Drive situation, I guess *shrug*

Intend to.
Hopefully they only add like one a week or something though, because man do the numbers rack up quick...

edit: also just as a note in case it's relevant to anyone, fixed/moved/split up some stuff around so all the pictures got replaced/updated.

Sounds very legit now. Literally, sentai gone non gimmicks and low budget this year while rider is dumping more and more. Slash? 7th

Wow, that's pretty clever! Good job! That's already 36 forms per Rider so far excluding Storm Eagle.

Slash is 7th rider. And hopefully female rider. Better be Luna!

I think its too soon if Luna become Rider.
It will be really interesting if Luna are never become adult because she are trapped in other dimension. So she is still in kid age.

I’m not happy with that.

If my math checks out, with all the (non-upgrade) books we know of it should shake out to something like 240 forms per Rider in the end
Pretty nutty

All we really know about Slash from these leaks is that their element is light and their main book is Hansel and Gretel. That could imply any gender.

Hmmm?

http://www.tokunation.com/attachment...1&d=1602147087

Incorrect. Their element is sound, not light. The sword name is Onjuken Suzune, with the character for ‘sound’ repeated in the same way that fire, water, lightning, earth, wind, and darkness are for the other six riders.
Furthermore, the opening shows seven coloured beams creating the title card - red, blue, yellow, white, green, purple, orange. The last time something like that happened - Gaim - the Arms Weapons created the title and we got to see the Kagematsu, Durinoko, Ichigo Kunai, Mango Punisher and Kiwi Gekirin well in advance. Seeing as red, blue, yellow, white, green, and purple clearly represent Saber, Blades, Espada, Buster, Kenzan, and Callibur, it is rather likely that the orange is Slash.
And Daishinji wears a lot of orange...

Every dimension has its own time and some don't even have time at all. If the dimension Luna was sent to has an expanded version of time relative to ours, it's possible that 15 years here is only 15 hours there or something like that.

Don't worry though, there are at least 10 Riders this year. You may still get your female Rider even if it's not Slash.

Not as nutty as Build's 930+ forms but with more books, the Sword Riders could easily break that record.

Nice observation. There's also the rumor that Suzune is a gunblade and it makes sense for Daishinji, the Sword of Logos' mechanic, to give himself the most advanced system.

Rekka Trilogy is on fire!

Nice pun :P

But yeah! The ‘Onjuken’ part of ‘Onjuken Suzune’ means ‘Sound Gun Sword’, so it probably is a Gunblade!

And that's how you know it's Aruto!

I'm looking forward to seeing Slash soon and how they use sound as a weapon.

Sound is very powerful. Apparently being right next to the Big Ben bell when it goes off can shatter your nose and eardrums or something, causing you to bleed from your ears and nose.

I'm gonna go off on a limb here and emphasize the "Sound Gun" part of that. perhaps it'll have a megaphone option.
