A fan posted it on henshin fever's page, thought it was worthy to share since we usually glimpse new riders and forms through leaked shots like these, but yea like you said it looks like kabuto, my guess is that it was a recoloring and considering the location, ep 15 of Decade? To where they were underground and kabuto steps in to save his sister. But the helmet design kinda throws me off

I like what I'm seeing so far.

I like the idea of a purple main rider, but yes, it does look vaguely Kabuto-esque to me.

Something is bothering me about the picture, and I can't pin down what exactly it is. It'll only be a few more days until all truth is revealed, though.

Only a few more days? Why?

Most people are saying the picture is a photoshopped Kamen Rider Meteor photo

Sho Aikawa's twitter mentions an information ban being lifted at midday on the 4th (Or Third can't remember) of July, which typically means if he is the main writer for Ghost then the press conference might be around the same time.

but it could be for a different show or a new anime or something

Could be a meteor, could be someone else. But the head is bothering me. It looks too big for that body. Not to mention that the body rests oddly on the ground, and there's very little shadow. Idunno. All I know is that picture is bothering me.

Could also be a recolored/ purple lighted Riotrooper...

I see what you mean cause of the head shape and visor, but in my comparisons the rio trooper is more simplified as this seems to be more similar to a kabuto body.

I never replied to what you wrote in the first place and it doesn't matter anyway what exactly it is. We are already pretty sure that this thing is probably not the new Kamen Rider but something from an older series and that's pretty much all we need to know about this picture.
