I wouldn't mind a self-aware Rider. Like, what if Kamen Rider is a show in this show's universe? And the main Rider is a Rider fanatic? That'd be funny.

I've always wanted another lighthearted Rider.

I would not mind that. Sentai already has a fanboy who became a hero aka Gokai Silver and unofficially Akiba Red too so about time we get a fan archetype for riders too.

I just hope Foundation X is the antagonist.

If these rumors are true, not unless that's the name of the rental place the Rider's untransformed identity goes to to get VHS tapes or DVDs. Or the name of the shop they buy the collected series videos from.


Foundation X may get pushed back to whatever the 50th anniversary series ends up being. Or it could get worked into this somehow. Like easter eggs found throughout that this Rider investigates after noticing it as an oddity they never realized was there before across all series.

Would this be a bad time to point out Deadpool has a daughter that's as big of a nerd/geek as he?

I really like the silhouette, the suit looks sleek and definitely has a clock hand thing going on with the antenna. I might not watch this show live if it is some anniversary show though. At least I only have Decade, Ghost, and Amazons left to watch for Heisei shows, so I might be able to catch up.

Someone (Ashmish Art) made a mockup of Zi-O using the sketch and the scans as bases.

The first silhouette we saw of (presumably) the collectible widget was a disc. That could have been intended to obscure the details, but I'm wondering if maybe the collectible is swappable clock faces for the Driver. If there's a "reveal the image of the Rider" gimmick on the belt, and there's an element of Rider-switching (a la Decade) in the show, perhaps different clock faces reveal different Riders when the hourglass is turned.

I'd be puzzled as to whether the (chess piece?) thing that turns into armor fits in, but then again, Ex-Aid had both Gashats as the collectible and Gamers as the things that turn into armor.

Brace yourselves the number theory is coming.

Oh goddammit they WILL try to force 11 even though realistically it's supposed to be a new era. Also clocks are usually shown as 10 o'clock in tv shows, ads, etc

Well, if the antennae are 10 and 2 (so 12) I guess people will try to force it on Build being 10 AND 11 (2 numbers because Katsuragi AND Sento were two different Build somehow).

I've already seen people say that 10 is the Crank + round gear light thing, and 11 is the 2 full bottles.
