I doubt it'll happen but I hope Yuri turns into IXA again. Also Jiro! He's definitely dressed for the time period he came from.

Not whoI would have expected, but I will never complain about a) more Kenji Matsuda and b) no Wataru.

I would be highly cautious about these images. The official twitter account for Zi-O has nothing about this news

That would be a super specific and very well-done fake in that case...
I'm just glad Otoya isn't back

These were leaked. They will probably announce them officially tomorrow.

I'm really happy to see Yuri and Jiro/Garulu back. Not the cast members we fully expected but that's a good thing. Keeps us on our toes. And the fact that it's Yuri who is present and Jiro is dressed in his 80's attire makes it obvious that Sougo will be going back to 1986.

Usually when they announce the cast early like this, they have a surprise in store for the following week as well. I heard Megumi's actress might be involved, so there may be returning cast from the 2008 portion that have yet to be revealed.

Yeah I was about to say, usually when they anounce returning actors this early there's another surprise.

e.g: Ghost and Specter, then later Decade

Yuri still in shape like otoya. I guess we're not going sentai/gavan double role as well as jin/magiyellow. So no zeronos/naomi possibly. The lore is still messy because this isn't mcu, so all these stand alone series are so forced in on it. Btw ginga looks like it'll be a suit only maybe and will be playing up schwartz backstory perhaps. So far all the time jackers are flat villains. I do like tributes still manage to make it different and create stronger another riders in some forms. The scan implies ginga, so Kiva might be background unless it expand to june scan. I'm sure ixa will be back maybe double heroine ixa again.

This year trio are very short compares to all returning alumi.

happy to see Jiro and Yuri. If it was not Otoya returning that's the ones i wanted to see.

Well I wanted Yuria Haga as well since she wasn't in 555 but oh well. Can't have everything.
