We've had a twist of that magnitude in Build when Isurugi turned heel, so maybe. I can see it happening.

No, i was just thinking it's what Zeztz needs to contain and protect until the MOTW goes kaboom, tokusatsu napalm and all. But now that you mention it, maybe the mechanics of it all could be similar to how the Ultra Capsules and Little Star hosts of Ultraman Geed worked.

Is there a full list of the countries where the series is gonna be simulcasted?

USA, Canada, Thailand, Hong Kong, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the MENA region.

Huge letdown. Nothing prevented them from casting it worldwide like Tsuburaya does with Ultraman.

You have to understand, Toei executives are implanted with a small, mechanical, cognitive switch upon entering the upper management echelon.

When asked "What would be the smart thing to do?" said switch makes them do the opposite.

In this case the question was: "Put it up on YouTube and rake in free add-revenue?" were any human with more than two working brain cells would’ve just said yes, Toei chose to needlessly restrict it to selected markets.

I will laugh if that strategy backfires once more and they start copyright-striking their own media again.

Looks awesome! The trailer weirdly reminds me of those celebrity-endorsed parfum commercials, like it's trying to sell me Eau de Zeztz. Based on the weirdness, I can already tell it has Takahashi's fingerprint for sure. In addition to the suit having the appearance of Gekiranger mixed with Rider 1 colors, the glowing red lines are totally like Faiz's Photon Streams.

It's okay to not like something, but wishing failure is kind of uncalled for.

Neo Neo Batta Genome.

I suppose it was only a matter of time. King-Ohger got the bugs and now Zeztz got the agents.

Hopefully a cool strong-willed guy like Jensen from Deus Ex.

I'd say 99.9%.

With the official reveal now, trace folks on Reddit and Twitter have noted that the McGuffin item and Riders teased in the most recent Girls Remix sorta fits with the Zeztz aesthetic:

I think I finally understand why the design is such an Ichigo throwback from Zeztz' design to the bike. This is going to not only run into the 55th anniversary but will also be Toei's first big foray for Kamen Rider into the West in terms of simulcasting a main series like Tsuburaya does Ultraman.

That might even be part of why Takahashi is the writer, because two of his shows have been released in the West already.

No Malaysia? Bummer...:(

Great, so there's a chance of a Girl Remix sequel soon.
