A new rumour :D

So basically:

- Ryuki (battle royal) + Ghost (legendary or historical figures) + Build (organic and inorganic) = Geats series.

Color me skeptical about that rumor.

Frankly, it sounds too much like the back half of Ex-Aid to be real. And didn't Shirakura say that KR was moving away from legacy-based series?

And anything that brings in Beowolf is gonna be suspect to me until more solid rumors come out.

sounds too much like Build/Ghost to me

reading just the first paragraphs makes me think Para-DX is gonna come out of nowhere and kill the entire cast

Personally, I find it strange that:
1) Other than Geats, no one else has a name;
2) No explanation for the Geats name;
3) Why is Beowulf a wolf, if the name means "bee wolf" that is, a bear?
4) How then to be with the drawings, where there was clearly a bee?
5) Thor is clearly superfluous. You need to either remove him, or make the rest also Nordic characters. And so a strange distortion is obtained. Unless he will be the secondary ... But it seems to me that then Beowulf would have been made the secondary.

Also why Nobunaga? Isn't Musashi the best choice from a hero's point of view?

So basically, Tekken with Riders. That would be cool!

A lot of this rumor feels very reverse engineered from the existing info we have.

The part where all the other riders being based on "cultural warriors" is very much building off the idea that Geats is based on Beowulf.

Geats transformation item separating into a Wolf and an Axe clearly comes from that supposedly leaked description of him resembling Build with a Wolf and an Axe for eyes.
- Also, if both the Animal and Weapon are tied to the identity of the Riders (i.e Geats' base form can only be formed using the Wolf and Axe item, same for Arthur with the Horse and Sword item), how are the mandatory Q1 side forms supposed to work for any of them? Or are we supposed to believe they all swap the animal/weapons halves of their gimmick item with each other (despite the premise being them all competing with each other) to obtain their side forms?

The "1 returning Rider with their Driver and an upgrade." is also based on the supposed the Build connection.

Didn’t the whole Viking connection get debunked anyway because the kana for Kamen Rider Geats doesn’t match up with the kana for the tribe?

Kiva was not called Kiba. Sometimes the names of the Ryders are not spelled correctly. That is why Geats can be absolutely anything.
