Actually no, it most certainly is a new helmet. How are you not seeing what is clearly the full on trident on his helmet? It's far larger than his normal crest and actually equal in length on both sides. This is 100% a new helmet.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw this.I think it might be the former Gaim's look,as in the rider who had the Orange lock before Gaim.

Because it's not a trident. It's his regular crest with the top three points stretched out because of the deformities in the reflective surface.

You can even see the asymmetrical shape of the normal crest. It also squished his visor. It's like a funhouse mirror.

That's +1 for my theory. :D

There's multiple orange locks. The lock seed doesn't determine the rider, the belt does, and Kota was the first to use that driver. Gaim's face only appeared once he put it on.

I'm honestly surprised so many think this is some forshadowing to a new form. Just watch the footage, you can see the bike is also distorted and the reflection is clearly his regular suit. Just look at the shoulder pad in the screen cap. You can see the waves in the floor distoring it and making it look like part of it is floating.

A fun house mirror simply does not do that man. The design of that crest is completely different from his standard crest. It doesn't take something that's unequal in length and off to one side and then turn it into a completely symmetrical design. This is 100% and very clearly not the same helmet. I mean can you just not see that comparison image at the end? It's incredibly clear that what we're loking at is not his standard helmet. Yes there are ripples in the bike but they are nothing like that helmet at all.

Except it isn't symmetrical. At all. One side of the crest dips, the other half arcs. And look at the supposed ends of the trident. They're completely different.

It's just visual distortion. You can even see the blue and orange behind the crest is stretched out and wavy.

It's clear that it is. Have you ever held up a glass or spoon or a kettle? It can take one small detail and stretch it out. That's how reflections work.

Again, look at the bike. Apparently his new form is a midget with super long legs riding the tallest bike in the world.

Also, if you actually watch the clip, there's just no way they could effects in a new image like that. kamen rider isn't that good. When he gets on it it's perfectly synced because there is no special effects. It's just reflections.

Trust me, I thought it was a new helmet at first, too. But when I rewatched the clip and saw how the headlamp of the bike was so smushed and how the arms were smushed flat it was obvious it's just the same suit.

How is it the same helmet when the trident shape in the reflection is symmetrical?

So... how do you explain the orange mohawk?

But it isn't. You can quite clearly see.

The crest only appears to be symmetrical because each point of the helmet has been stretched to the same degree. But when you outline just the bottom of the "trident" it's exactly the same as the regular crest, just at a slight angle because of the reflection of Gaim being viewed from 'below."

Ditto the mohawk. At that upward angle, the top of the head lines up roughly with each point on the crest. So as they are stretched by the uneven floor, so to is the top.

It's just the top of the helmet being streched along with the tips of the crest.

If you eliminated the "prongs" of the trident and mohawk, you'd literally just be left with his normal helmet.
