Not liking his new wig....I mean hair. ��

Mei will be happy her ikemen squad is complete again. ��

Hey i recognize him that's Sasword :'D

Love the new look! Hope to see that in today’s episode.

But if he’s the new Calibur, who’ll take his place as the new Espada? Either Mei or a new recruit joining Touma’s side or Logos’.

The way I see it either Mei gets it or Kento reclaims Ikazuchi some point along the way and gives Kurayami to either Touma or Yuuri. Or Kento says, "Ehh, you keep it" and Touma dual-wields it while Kento becomes Calibur till the end.

My guess is that Kento eventually returns to Espada and we get an all new villain.

Or Desast as a possibility.

Kento will probably give Ikazuchi to Mei and teach her his way of combat and it'll come close to Touma's.

I want Ren to have Ikazuchi, though....

I'm thinking Kento might eventually use the Caliber sword for good (since his dad was good and used it), and that the lightning sword remains unoccupied for a bit. I also feel like Kento will get the next upgrade after elemental dragon whether he sticks as Caliber or goes back to Espada, but it could also go to Rintaro (I'll miss seeing king lion daisenki if it does though).

As for Ren I can see him picking up the lightning sword, that or he gets a new belt, that'll be released through p-bandi, that'll be like a dark ninja.

I'm unsure where the plot is going to take desast other then he and Ren will be rivals in some regards.

Dunno where to put this but I got this conspicuous set photo. Also, found this text on /m/

ネクストライダーはリブートのようなものを予定しています。 投げかけられているアイデアは、人類を解放するために戦うライダーです。痛みを抱えたライダー たくさんのおもちゃが提案されています。どれにしようか迷っています。一つのおもちゃは、ロケットを開ける鍵です。もう一つのおもちゃはSDカードとリーダーです。ネーミングは決定に近いかもしれません。初代ライダーの新バージョンだということが伝わりそうですね。シンクロだけど「しんいちごう」と読む。

Which using DeepL to translate loosely:

Next Rider is planned to be a sort of reboot. The idea being pitched is a rider who fights to liberate humanity. A rider in pain. Many toys have been suggested. I'm not sure which one to choose. One toy is a key to open a locket. Another toy is an SD card and reader. The naming may be close to a decision. I think it will convey that it is a new version of the first Rider. It's Synchro, but it reads "Shin Ichigou".
