Thought those were usually reserved for the movies!

You're not. Bitter Gavv is the result of Suga pulling that hair off of Shouma.

PLS the clone be temporary until a new user! Jiip I hope.

Crackpot Theory Time Go!

inb4 it isn't actually a clone and it's actually just someone wearing a disguise.

Cause as amusing as it'd be if Bitter Gavv was a result of mixing Shoma's hair and Hanto's blood (the shippers would rejoice though), it does feel a bit sudden to bring a fully fleshed out clone given the timeframe of everything happening.

That said utilizing DNA to create a disguise for someone to parade around as Shoma? Now that'd be some juicy stuff.

Sudden random thought, but what if, it's Makoto Nakamura, the son of the old couple who looks like Shouma, but preserved like Winter Soldier complete with brainwashing and was the testbed for Shouma's Gavv surgery long time ago.

Gavv's Super Form has been leaked!

ooo yeah. Ice cream cones Lord

Dude ate a Foodroid.

Also what on earth is that color scheme? Did he eat bubblegum-flavored ice cream or something?

According to what I looked up, a sorbet.

They are killing it with the upgrade form designs.

Waffle. Cone. Realness.

I've noticed all of Gavv's upgrade forms seem to have some kind of aristocratic/royalty vibe.

Makes me wonder if that will also prove true with the Final Form.

King Kuwagata Ohger 2.0 :lolol

I like how its colors are the same purple, blue and yellow-orange as Poppin Gummy form, just rearranged

Full body shots of Blizzard Sorbet (that's what's it called).

I can't help but think Blade when I see Caking and Garren when I see Blizzard Sorbet. Would be funny if the next power-up resembled Leangle.

That would be funni

So sales numbers are in, and Gavv’s first quarter is the worst performance for the first quarter of a Rider show since W (it still beats it though. That show only got 4.1 billion yen) at 6.6 billion yen.

Aww, it shows Shouma and Sachika eating sorbet together! I know they share snacks all the time, but I expect getting sorbet together will have more significance after the drama-bomb Hanto just dropped on her (not that I blame him). Maybe like how CaKing was born from Shouma working hard to bake his own sweet to share with his friends, Blizzard Sorbet will be born from him opening up and finally trusting them with his secrets?

I question how long the people will realize Shoma is not a monster to them but a hero? Shoma hid his secret for too long and Bitter Gavv caused a mess of it.

Toy pics!

So cute....

So it's spelt 'Blizzard Sorbei', not 'Sorbet'. Interesting.

Romaji is usually phonetic, rather than by-the-letter, largely because words in alphabetic writing systems tend to break their own rules in regards to spelling rather frequently, since many if not most/all are conglomerations of words and particles from other languages. Sometimes those words have their spellings changed to better match the spelling of other words, but spercifically in english they tend to stay close to their original spelling.

A silent t is quite common in french, so sorbet is pronounced Sore-bay. Sorbei is the Japanese equivalent.

EDIT: I guess you are talking about ON the toy though, making it diegetic, so i suppose its possible there is some relevant pun as well.

New Forms for Valen and Bitter Gavv, as well as a first look at Kamen Rider Bake:

Looks like we're getting a bubblegum Vram too

That’s the jelly form. He already has that.

Valen Frappe looks awesome and his use of the Vrastrum Gear will surely give him the substantial stat boost he's been waiting for! Glad to see there are at least 3 pudding type Gochizous.

Bake looks good as well. His henshin device looks similar to the Valen Buster, so I have a pretty strong idea of who his identity could be. Also makes me wonder if there was another reason for Hanto's surgery, as I doubt Suga will be crazy enough to try performing it on himself.

From what I recall rumors saying apparently the gun says something along the lines of "Beyond the Biology" which uh, given what we know, really points towards who's likely to use it and just what exactly it entails in terms of characters who can use it.

Is it just me, or does this new look for Valen seem like a subliminal message for us to drink more Starbucks? :lolol

Would taste good with some Doumaru donuts.

Yes. :lolol

so where will Hanto get a Vram driver? Suga going to give him one? or he gets kidnapped and steals from Nyelv's lab?

the dark looking scary rider is calling himself Bake? lol.

I'm curious as to whether we'll see more clones in the mold of Bitter Gavv. Can only Granutes be cloned? I'm also curious as to how much longer we'll have to wait for Sachika's opening sequence bubble to finally have a Rider form in it. Then again, she's not been given quite enough of a central conflict to overcome in order to eventually earn a belt, which seems to be how that sort of thing works in the last several Rider series, and good grief! We're nearly to halfway through the series already, aren't we?

This has probably come up before, but is the reason we didn't get a Movie War crossover with Gotchard because of the early filming schedule?

Less that and more general restructuring.

Here's a bit on a recent interview Shirakura did explaining stuff.

Bake and Bitter Gavv both give me kitbashed vibes but I can't pinpoint what past suits went into them. It might just be because they make heavy use of patterns that are just painted on flat instead of being sculpted into the texture of the suit, which kitbashed suits often seem to do as a cheaper way to distance them the original.

Anyway I really like Bake's weapon, it conveys the "gun that is also a mouth" idea much more clearly than the original Valen Buster and IMO just looks better.

Kinda weird how the cookie gochizo has little glowing paws(?), between that and the name I wonder if Bake will use heat/fire powers, possibly as a counter to Blizzard Sorbei's ice?

And while Bake is clearly based on a chocolate chip cookie, it also seems to evoke military camouflage, kinda like how Vram incorporated "tactical" aesthetics

It might be Blizzard Sorbei having a pattern similar to Kamen Rider Revi's albeit with different colors and Bake kind of looking like a KR Thousand Ark clone.
