Someone on 2ch has posted some info regarding this earlier this morning. Allegedly the rider uses collectible Rings for powers, however his belt is a fingerprint scanner. He uses fire and ice elements, wears a cape, battles monsters in a different dimension. The document features mentioned the boom in Magical Girl stuff from the last year (aka Madoka)

He better wear a goddamn wizard's hat and use a staff.

I'm sad that my first reaction to this being confirmed is to think back to the obnoxious little alien kid from the Phantom Menace tie-in Pepsi commercials from 1999.

"Kamen Riding is WIZARD!!"

God, I effing hated that ad campaign.

Takes place at a Japanese Hogwarts, bring back large "contract" monsters like dragons & ogres & crap. I forsee this series doing quite well

Hahaha, a magical school, finding rings to collect ... LORD OF THE HOGWARTS KAMEN RIDER WIZARD

can't say this holds an appeal to me, but we'll see. If I don't like it I can use the oppurtunity to watch OOOs finally.

To me it just sounds weird saying kamen rider wizard. I kind of wish they would have come up with a more creative name, but oh well.

So, if the series bombs the default negative comment regarding Kamen Rider will move from "Its all Decade's fault" to "a Wizard did it."

:P

If you like you can pronounce it "Wizaludu." :p

I think we're at the point, though, where Riders with English names outnumber the ones with letters or Japanese names.

Delted

So, if there's rings involved that give him different powers, doesn't that make him the Mandarin?

We now need the villains to be robots/guys in armor built by an American genius billionaire who himself has his own weaponized suit of flying armor.
