lol and here im hoping its an entirely new character...

but i guess that makes sense why Evol has forms resembling Build and Cross-Z...
wonder how they gonna intro that...

Grease can just be the token rider who is 'strong on debut and ended up as the fodder later on'...

they really intro a lot of new upgrades for the series and even used lots of 'one-time' forms.

Still not totally sure how I feel about Build's Genius form. On the other hand, Cross's Magma form looks fantastic, much better than Cross Charge. Rogue's new form is fine, prefer the croc motif, but going back to a more Night Rogue style look is cool idea. Evol has gotta be Stark, and definitely looks potential final boss material. Love both (all?) of the Evol designs. Somewhat worried about Grease. Granted, when Q2 scans showed Kamen Rider Rogue but no upgrade for Blood Stark, I remember there were people worried it was a sign he was going to die too, so I guess be patient?

So the currently missing Forms is:

- Build ButtoGamba Form
- Build CupEnergy Form
- Build GhostEx-Aid Form
- Build FourzeWizard Form
- Build GaimDrive Form
- Build CrocoDicon Form (or it will be used by other Rider in Evol Driver. Maybe for Kamen Rider Mad Rogue?)
- Build MaGhost Form
- Build SpiderCooler Form
- Build ShikaMid Form
- Build PenguinSkater Form
- Build F1Saurus Form

Missing Full Bottles:
- Shimauma (Zebra)
- Scissors
- Hammer
- Spanner
- Kangaroo
- Salt
- CD

+ MagGhost
and the 2 special/silly ones (ButtobaGamba and CupEnergy)

I think ButtobaGamba and CupEnergy more likely for ganbarizing game.
Maybe the other Build Form for ganbarizing game too or movie.

Not to mention GoldScorpion, whose Second Quarter release was either delayed or cancelled. It was due to be released in place of RoseCopter, but was, well, replaced by the latter. When/how/if it and F1Zaurus (+ CrocodiCon, I guess, now with BatEngine) will be released is entirely uncertain.

Magnet should be released though, as it's seen in the YouTube special.

But, with 60 confirmed Fullbottles (so 30 Best Matches), we're still only at 56/28 in-show, not counting BatEngine, and 58/29 if we do count it.

Basically, if BatEngine is NOT part of the 60, then we need both GoldScorpion and F1Zaurus to round things out. If BatEngine IS part of the 60, then we only need one of them - or CrocodiCon - to do so.

I've got a feeling that F1Zaurus is going to be the movie-exclusive form, quite possibly accompanied by GoldScorpion or CrocodiCon.

It makes me wonder if, in the show, BatEngine and CrocodiCon will be used as as substitutes in order to access the power of the Pandora Box, and in the movie the actual 60 full bottles will come together. I guess time will tell

I've got to say, I love pretty much everything in the scans. Magma looks a fantastic (final?) form for Ryuga, and Genius form certainly looks great (though I do wish it was named Pandora Form, but oh well).

There is also quite of bit of nifty details here. Something interesting that sticks out to me is the change in design. Originally, Night Rogue and Blood Stalk looked a bit more Diesel Punk, and Build looked like something between Diesel punk and modern technology. Then with the appearance of the Jellies, there seemed to be a bit more of modern technology theme, and now with the Evol Driver, it seems to be a bit more Renaissance-era machinery/modern era theme. There also seems to be a bit of a space theme, since the labels for the Evol Bottles have a hybrid gear/Planet design. Not to mention the Black Hole Form for Evol (and is that silhouette indicating a third form for Evol?). Pretty cool all around.

I'm also really surprised by the fact that Bat and Engine are completely new bottles and not repaints. Mad Rogue is looking really cool, although it would have been nice to see some of Engine's red on the suit. Something else that seems interesting is the lack of new weapons for the third quarter, the only one being the Magma Knuckle (although that is also a transformation device as well).

One last thing that seems interesting is that I'm pretty sure that there was a rumor started on 2chan back in early January (I think), that predicted about half of the items listed (such as a Belt recolored from the Build Driver and including a power up for Blood Stalk, a new form for Ryuga, and new bottles for Bat/Engine).

Woops never mind I was a page behind and didn't see the new scans on page 84

Interesting, it looks like Evol (a play on "evil" and "evolution"?) uses changing organic EvolBottles with the same inorganic one, and his head and shoulders change but his base body stays the same. I'm also getting kind of a globe/astrolabe vibe, which makes me think that he's somehow connected to Mars.

Unlikely? F1Zaurus and GoldScorpion are normal Best Matches - they would be weaker than EVERYTHING in the plot by that point.

I don't know why but I'm seeing Faiz somewhere for some reason...and ITS BUGGING ME!!

True, although besides CrocodiCon, they are the only best matches left in the belt without a current toy listing. Which doesn't leave much room for a movie-exclusive item, which besides Fourze, have almost always used a sound in the belt (when the pin system is used). While it's possible that some new item is made that has sounds, I'd say that they'll probably use sounds already in the belt for the movie.

To be fair Darwin and Napoleon got used in the Ghost's movie and they're weaker than the forms available at time such as Grateful and Mugen. We're also still getting new best matches in the show despite the upgrades and according to this catalog we're getting two more.

Well Bat and Engine are supposed to be normal Best Matches too

*Sees Genius Form*
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Build will be has extra Final Form when he combine Genius Full Bottle with Hazard Trigger.

Genius Full Bottle + Hazard Trigger = Kamen Rider Build Genius Hazard Form (Dangerous Genius).

Maybe this combination will be used in Final Episode.

No. The Genius Fullbottle is like the Cross Dragon - it says it's own sounds. They'd clash and be said at the same time. It's impossible.

Who's the real villain in Build? Rogue? Or that new KR Evol?

And what would be his identity?

It has occurred to me that maybe the Evol Bottles are the "FullFull Bottles" that got talked about earlier and maybe that's how RabbitRabbit and TankTank forms are created. It looks somewhat simliar to what was leaked earlier.

So that would leave the upgrade chain being -

Build: RabbitTank (+ all alternate forms) -> RabbitTankSparkling -> Black Hazard -> RabbitRabbit/TankTank -> Genius

Cross-Z: Cross-Z -> Cross-Z Charge -> DragonDragon -> Magma

Grease: None by the looks of it though he may get one upgrade...

Rogue: Night Rogue -> Kamen Rider Rogue -> Mad Rogue

Stalk: Blood Stalk -> Kamen Rider Evol?

At any rate it's interesting just how many riders and merch there is going to be considering how little there was at the start. This toyline is going to be absolutely massive...

The Evol Bottles are for Evol. Those are Evol Rabbit and Evol Dragon, not new forms for Build and Cross-Z - the text confirms this.

The names for Riders and their forms have gotten rather lousy. Grease and now Genius Form? I'd prefer Genius having regular compound eyes instead of bottles where the eyes should be, but it's not bad. I like the imagery of Sento being hooked up to all of the bottles at once like some kind of monstrosity.

I really don't care for what they've done with Cross-Z. Charge should have come later in the show if they wanted him to get a Sclash Driver, not so soon after he debuted; or just skipped the "Mark I" Cross-Z altogether and start with Charge. Banjo going back to his first belt with a new upgrade, all while seemingly dropping the Cross Dragon and his sword, makes it rather pointless. At least when Kaito went back to the Sengoku Driver it was because the Genesis Driver was rendered inoperable.

Speaking of the sword, at least Charge makes sense in that Banjo, being a boxer, uses his fists more than other weapons. It seems a case of the character not quite matching the powers and arsenal.

A rumour's flying around about insert themes

Tensai Tenshi (Angelic Genius for the non weebs) by Kamen Rider Girls, BE OUR ONE by Beverley, WAKE UP Dragon's Fist by Shinichi Ishihara, COOL BLEW According to Plan by Yasuyuki Maekawa and Tetsuo Kanao and BURNING HEART My Passion is Burning by Kouhwi Takeda

I really want Grease to stay and help Team Build regardless of no upgrade. I hate to have Sawatari die on us.

All of that sounds WAY too good to be true... So I'm calling foul.While
hoping against hope in my heart of hearts.

There's no way that's legit at all. Insert songs are never 'rumoured' if they're real - they're either announced, or just dropped on us.

So far Build lacks any insert songs in series just like Ghost. Ex-Aid has lots of inserts songs. I think the reason why Build not yet has any insert songs because Toei want to save budgets.

You know, with the buttload of toys this show has it really doesn't make sense for them to not give Grease and upgrade.

from a story and a merch standpoint, i dont think he's going to survive in this series because the riders are more powerful than him, he's just not going to keep up with them especially with the other riders getting powerups.

it's nothing against the actor, i just think it's getting tiring of seeing an evil rider joining the good side, it's been this way since gaim.

there has to be a change in the formula when it comes to evil joining the good side, it's just too easy, it's getting boring from doing it so many times.

not going to spoil anything or what, but if you follow the actors on Instagram, Takeda Kouhei is still around, and is ALWAYS in Sento and Banjo's actors vids.
So he won't die for now.

Grease should go Lazer style.

Reduce from Sclash Driver to "Proto-Grease" with Build Driver.

Maybe once he joins Team Build, maybe Kazumi & Sawa should get connected.

The problem in your equation being that Grease isn't an evil Rider by any measure. He's just on a different side.

the only thing i dislike abt Rogue is that fragile label at the back of his head lol...

im hoping someone makes fun of it in the series.

also i hope Rogue take over Seito despite I felt Gentoku isnt much of a villain or leader (i give him marks for trying) so far.

Thematically it makes sense. Think about it, he's using the "crack" crocodile bottle. It's has the obvious crack design on the bottle and suit, so in a sense it's fragile. And if you look at Gentoku, psychologically speaking, he's kinds fragile too. He's out himself through experiments, been exiled and disowned by his father, he's not exactly stable himself. LOL!!!

I can see him going Ouja style. While the Hell Bros are the Hoppers.

The only new form that looks good is Cross-Z Magma the rest are meh.

This maybe a strange request but, does anyone happen to have the lyrics to the backstory that is said everytime during the opening song?

It has been 10 years since the Sky Walls Tragedy caused by the Pandora Box found on Mars.
Our Country was split into three - Touto, Seito, Hokuto; and descended into chaos.

I'm hoping eventually someone will hit him in the back of the head, whether it's for drama as his one weak point or just for slapstick. Although I find it hard to imagine that kind of comedy in Build, especially happening to Gentoku.

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the irony that a Rider themed around cracking and shattering seems to have the strongest defense of any character so far? He tanked hits from Build and Cross-z Charge without even flinching!

Well I wish they changed the opening scene of that quote. Show the flags, and the nations’ riders and Build as the last for a pose.
