The wording is pretty vague, they're calling it "his newest and most powerful form yet", with an emphasis on the "yet". I think I also saw it being called his "most powerful fusion form"; neither of those specifically counts out either a more powerful fusion or a stronger form that isn’t a fusion.

I would like it to be his final form though because I want a Figuart of it, but I'm not convinced yet.

But this can be confirmed by the next episode, once I see Haruki wielding the Belial sword inside Z to advertise the toy, then it's settled :lol

I mean, so far the only “upgrade” form to not get an SHF is Photon Earth, and the Taiga line had a lot of Ultras to do. So even if Claw wasn’t the final, it would easily get an shf.

I hope so at least, aside from Delta Rise Claw looking cool I want the Beliarok for a few funny shots with Geed and Belial.

Hi guys, I'm new here! Just here to ask if any could help me out here.

I've been watching ZI-O for a while now and really enjoying and would love to get one of the SHFs. I just don't know which one. (I'm around EP 27, btw.)

I checked around Mandarake and found some candidates. (minus base ZI-O, not interested in that.) I saw that ZI-O II was going around 5000 yen and thought that was a good deal for a super form that I really love, however, I saw ZI-O Decade was going for a bit lower and also had the Heisaber which I like.

I also found out that a "Grand ZI-O", I think? was in display and thought if that was going to be released somewhere down the line too. That's his final form, is it?

I also saw a ZI-O "trinity", the all-friends form, I guess and saw that it had both his swords, but it's very expensive right now. If anyone could help me out that would be cool! Thanks!

I guess it really comes down to what you like — I know Decade’s slightly lower but at that point they’re basically the same price. If it helps at all, DecadeArmour and its sword never get used again while II gets use throughout and beyond the show. It’s actually pretty smart how they balance it and his two next forms — without giving too much away, II is Sougo’s greatest power that he can achieve on his own.

Grand is indeed yet to be released; Tamashii often does this at their events where they’ll show a lot of prototype SHFs and it’s a toss up whether they’ll get made at all; but Grand most likely will. You can count on it being about as expensive as Trinity, though!

With Mandarake they adjust price according to demand and popularity so it might be safe to wait for a few months or years. Gaim Figuarts are ridiculously cheap at the moment.

BTW Just a heads up, SHF Zi-O Decade Armor's articulation around the knees is a bit limited due to the bulky armor. I think they only go around ninety degrees.

Also, welcome to Tokunation! We're all glad to have you here umu.

I personally like Zi-O II a bit more because it's got a bit better articulation but the Decade Armor has grown on mean once I got it in-hand. Probably depends on which look you prefer more and the accessories that they each come with.

I really hope Grand Zi-O happens and it's good. I'm a big fan. It has always reminded me of the diety statues throughout southast Asia.

I can see why you'd be reminded of deity statues (the gold coloring definitely helps!), but I don't recall deity statues being as, er, lumpy (please forgive the term I'm using), as Grand Zi-O though.

Zi-O II is my favorite, and I do love the figure a lot.

But if you don't mind waiting a bit, or paying the roughly 9,000 yen, I'd say get Trinity. It has two different weapons, and is a little representation of each Rider in a way.
