The series isn't even out yet and Geats has ALREADY become my favorite Reiwa Rider design, tied with Buster.

It turns out the gun used by Geats Water (oh I get it, it's a water gun), is actually the Build: Fire Hedgehog's arm cannon:

Oh wow yeah they just modded it slightly and painted over it, that's so funny

Tbh it would be sort of cute to me if all the auxiliary forms reused old pieces, just kind of as a fun little thing (sort of like how the Mirai Riders are all kitbashes), but for now there's no way to know I guess

Also, friend of mine pointed out the three auxilary buckles so far feel like Ex-Aid references? Hammer for Ex-Aid, Water Rifle for Snipe, and Bow for Lazer... Wonder if that's a total coincidence lol

I'm finally back home, have another scan!

Nothing much to be seen here, just Geats looking cool!

I'm sure the sword / swordsman will also appear in the show. Still, not all fans of shootings, and when was the last time we had a rider without edged weapons?

If I'm remembering correctly, the first major scans for 01 and Saber featured other riders. (AIMS duo for 01 and Blades for Saber) And yet, Geats is here alone, depsite the fact we're already aware of the fact of tons of Riders are coming, from both leaks and official teasing! What's going on.....?

Theory time!

1) As we already theorized, and given by Entry Form's continued prominence in the info we're getting, everyone starts off doing their best in challenges using Entry Form and whatever "low-level" Buckles they can find. (Water, Hammer, etc) We *will* meet multiple Riders early on(I'm confident we'll at least meet our Secondary and mayyyyybe our Tertiary in the first month of episodes), but Geats is the first one whom obtains a "high-level/signature" set, with Magnum/Boost. I doubt they want to advertise main Riders without their "signature" set of Buckles, so we're not getting any visuals of them juuuuuust yet.

2) Literally taking a page out of Fornite's book and the Grand Prix literally allows everyone to pick where they start off. Geats, for whatever reason, manages to pick a spot that fairly isolated from the rest of the contestants, so the first month of episodes is purely Geats focused as he just goes head-to-head with the Jamato while making his way toward a more populated area. (Far less confident in this theory, but whatever)

Okay so the two semi-circles on the belt are actually little screens that change based on the buckle attached.

The buckles look like your typical Bandai gimmick rails and there's a clear one right on the front of the gun.

It does give me Fourze astro-switch vibes and I wonder if there will be any electronics in the buckles or if everything will be in the belt. If its the later, it's going to be really easy to spoil the upcoming forms.

Oh I also think the Buckles will be universal powerups that anyone can pick up like a video game power-up.

I already love the belt and gimmicks.

Also, it appears the lighting messed with us into thinking Geats was orange. Not that I mind, since I actually do think the red looks better in his case.

I have an idea; Maybe the DGP will have multiple "Rounds" in the beginning (first arc) where whoever won the most points gets a buckle as the prize. Depending on the Rider's performance or amount of points, they can either win a "regular" buckle or a buckle tied to their set.

I wonder how many sounds will be in the belt versus the gimmicks. It looks like the Raise Buckles don't have electronics, so I assume those sounds will have to be in the belt.

Also, Water was not found in the toy listings for the first month, so if I had to guess, maybe Water will be the promotional Item for August? I don't see any toy shown off in the scans, but that would be logical (unless it comes out with something else, like the Gun down the line)

Also, not gonna happen, but I need for Geats to get a Saber power-up in the winter movie. Would be a fun tradition considering Revice got a Zero-One power-up in his winter movie.

I believe the toy listings listed it with 'Rider weapon'

True, there was a Buckle for "Valve" which would make more sense as Water.

Man, this season is really getting interesting with its belt and powers, and I'm all for it.

Yeah, this is quite interesting.

Yo, breaking news: I think we found the Zombie Buckle!

It's a more complex Buckle (and has a unique ID core to match!!!!) Could this be one-half of the "signature" set for our Secondary?

(It should be also mentioned that everything from the toy leak (sans Shield/Arrow Buckle) has been revealed, that was pretty fast ngl! Still, I wonder why we only recieved word of only September's lineup....?)

Looks like the new Rider is a Bull going by the picture.

Ooh, that complex buckle looks like it opens up, that's really cool.

Pretty sure the rumors said the second Rider is a tanuki. Can't really tell how it looks to me, though.

I think this for the Genm/Thouser type character.

I would like Takahashi to show that he can write different and do Geats without such a character. Or at least spend less time on hysterical evil rich man, who in the end will improve, but not completely.

So that other piece is indeed a bull/buffalo.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...96/unknown.jpg

Yeah, much as I like Kuroto and Gai, I don't think we need another character in that vein. Unless it's part of the President's Trilogy.

Interesting how Buffalo is our next Rider, since apparently the leaks said we'd get a Tanuki right?

Granted given how simplistic the ID Noises are when it comes to inserting Entry Chips, it would not surprise me if we just had jobber Riders just for introducing the toys before they got passed along to their "signature" Rider.

The ID core belongs to a Rider named Kamen Rider Buffa(?, バッファ) so yeah, Buffalo theming confirmed. We don't have any idea whether theyre the Secondary or a Scissors-type character that'll be mowed down early to raise stakes, lol.

Have some HQ images since the Amazon listing's up:

The gimmick holder doubling as a holster for the gun sure is cool!

Buffer is probably not the secondary. I guess that's the "real" antagonistic (at first) rider of the first half just like Genm was, somehow.
He appeared before the secondary or even tertiary, but he was not "de facto" the secondary (actually Genm even appeared in Ghost at first right ?)

Yeah Genm showed up twice in Ghost in like the final two episodes as a cameo with his second appearance in the last episode also being Ex-Aid's cameo.

I honestly hope Buffer is one of the main Riders this season. At least a tertiary if not a Genm-like role. The Zombie item looks insanely cool and the purple and orange color scheme is great.

Also, where are people getting the Tanuki Rider info from? The only "leak" that had that stated that Geats' riders names would be anagrams, flowers "Bio", and bracelets would be part of the theme, and we now know that none of that is correct. At this point that Wolf/Axe rumor has more validity just for guessing a tournament-style structure for the show lol.

Only just noticed the handle for Magnum is actually a squished down pistol grip not a motorcycle handle.

Anyway, the inclusion of the Buffa/Buffer(?) ID Core is interesting, supposedly almost all the Riders in Geats will use a DesireDriver, which means their role could be virtually anything from Secondary to Rival to a well designed Rando. I kind of wish their name was something more creative than "Buffa/Buffer" (unless they're the main villian, and the gimmick is "I am a player's ultimate enemy 'Buffer'ing!")

Actually, the rumor source that more or less got a lot of stuff about the Desire Driver correct also re-asserted that there was a Tanuki Rider! (From the list you're talking about, only a Eagle Themed Rider hasn't been re-asserted by someone else! That person might've mistaken Daipan for a Bear instead of a Panda, and Buffa for a Bull instead of a Buffalo, considering the way many people also couldn't decide what Buffa's ID Core was supposed to represent when it was revealed. Cat and Sheep Riders are only ones that were given proper names by the more correct leaker too, so they might be real as well!)

Not saying it can't be a hoax, but it should be clear why people think said Rider exists, right?

I do hope that there will be a Saber buckle later done the road.

Ooooooh, I was looking at the orange negative space trying to see what it was instead of the purple space. NOW I see the bull.

That settles it, I want this belt now. Figures that a belt from another Takahashi series will be my second belt after Ex-Aid.

The modular nature of this belt really really gets me. I can't wait till the series premieres

Wonder if there'll be romance in Geats? Which rider gets the girl? Even if the tertiary rider is female, she'll get the boy or follows Sakura & Hana.

Will it be the...

• Protagonist Rider - Geats
• Secondary Rider - ?
• Quarter Rider - ?
• New Rider - ?
• Dark Rider - ?

I think Geats has become my most anticipated Rider series in a good while, I really can't overstate how excited I am for this show... I think I'm actually more excited than I was for Zero-One and I was very excited for Zero-One

The belt is nearly exactly what I've wanted them to do for YEARS. The suit looks super cool. And the premise sounds like it will lend itself really well to Kamen Rider... All in all I'm extremely excited to see the show

I am trying to stop from overhyping myself, but it's hard to do ngl

It's hard *not* to get hype when we're in that space between when official info is coming out steadily, but its not yet time for the press conference, whose contents will obviously temper (or possibly heighten) people's excitement. Trying to stop one's imagination from running wild at all the possibilities is difficult, sometimes you just need to distract yourself with something else.

Knowing Bandai we'll probably get buckles for Kuuga-Revice and maybe Ichigo
