So, anyone else wondering what Puzzle's gimmick is going to be? It'd be weird for a character with this design to be a hand-to-hand combatant, especially considering his alternate form, but he doesn't seem to have a weapon of his own.

If I am not wrong, from recently magazine scan info, Paradox Puzzle Gamer can manipulate Energy Items.

Maybe Paradox Puzzle Gamer also can create giant puzzle to trap his opponents just like Hatena Bugster's (puzzle-themed Bugster) ability from Movie War.

Paradox Fighting Gamer more likely based from boxing or fighting video games.

Kamen Rider Para-DX?

Probably because Paradox doesn't make sense or for the sake of a pun on DX figures

I really like this name.

I also really like this Rider's suit. Puzzle Gamer may have been my favorite suit in the show so far...if only Para-DX didn't have the alternate Gamer's face on the back of the other's head. That's just so terrible and it looks so terrible. Sigh. Like, ok, that's probably how the toy works. I wish they'd figured out a way to do one of those things where one head is stored in the chest and they flip during mode changing or something. Cause this is just so disappointing.

So, I was trying to come up with more reasons as to why they'd spell the name with a "DX" when those letters aren't even remotely pronounced "DOX".

Of course there's the common Japanese usage of DX for video games and toys (in place of deluxe), but someone else suggested that in certain practices, DX is a shorthand medical term for either "disease" or "diagnosis", which got me thinking: what does Para- mean in the same context?
Para- as a medical prefix can mean things like "abnormal", "the involvement of two parts or a pair", or "nearby/adjacent to" as well. Which means Para-DX's name spelling can be considered a multifaceted pun;

-"Nearby-Disease"
-"Abnormal-Diagnosis"
-"Double-Deluxe"
and, of course
-"Paradox"

Must be a reference to Nintendo DS. and Graphite already has a buckle like a Game Boy Advance. because of course Nintendo must be the "evil" counterpart to Bandai Namco.



YES, I'm being facetious. :P

Yeah...DX (deluxe) always used in toys. In Kamen Rider, usually uside for belt, weapon, and collection devices.

Hmm....I think the reason why they used two face in one head concept because two mode in Para-DX chest part is connected to gold circle on his back. So in toyline, the gold circle function is to change (spin) his chest parts from fighting to puzzle or puzzle to fighting.

Hmm...very interesting.

Hmmm...I am really love Para-DX connection to disease and diagnosis things because Ex-Aid series has doctor drama.


Hmmm....the Graphite Belt and also Gashacon Bugvisor look like Game Boy Advance. The Rider Gashat always remind me to classical Nintendo cartridge game.

It seems Para-DX's Rider Gauges is on his segmented chest.

That looks relatively not terrible for an Ex-Aid suit.

I think the odd naming choice actually works in this situation, it hammers in the idea of Parad being Emu's rival or opposite.

Gamer vs Gamer
Human vs Bugster
Ex-Aid vs Para-Dx

In question mark bar, Brave, Snipe, and Lazer still not have Level X and Genm still not have Level 5. Probably they will obtain it?

I hate the fact that Ex-Aid is the only one that gets the Legendary Gashats.

If I am not wrong, Genm actually obtain Wizard Gashat in Ex-Aid web episode (Legendary Gashats)

Hmm...in Kamen Rider Ghost, both Ghost, Specter, and Necrom obtain Legendary Eyecons in Ganbarizing Game. Maybe Brave, Snipe, and Lazer, will obtain Legendary Gashats in Ganbarizing Game too.

Hmm..maybe will be like this:

- Brave obtain Baron Gashat
- Snipe obtain Birth Gashat
- Lazer obtain Accel Gashat

Lazer's dead, though. He won't be obtaining anything.

Hmm.....I am mean in Ganbarazing Game not in series.

Hmmm.....about Legend Rider Gashats, I am pretty sure Bandai will release other Rider Gashats from Kuuga to Deacde.

Aaaah! My mistake, I apologize. Yeah, I can easily see other characters getting various other forms through Ganbarizing - Ghost had a fuckton after all.
Personally, I kind of expect Ex-Aid Fighter Gamer Level 50 and Ex-Aid/Lazer/Genm Puzzle Gamer Level 50 to appear there, given that the Gashat Gear Dual can be used in the Gamer Driver.

Also yeah, another Premium Bandai set for those ten at some point, I'd wager. We do see Kabuto - Decade in the trailer for the Genm Web Special after all.

Doubt it, they're getting power ups soon and there's no way they'll be stuck with 10 when 99 and 50 are in play

Why does lazer have a lvl 10?

Someone posted this on my wall, theres translation errors but cracked me up 😂
-------------------------------------
" my name is Kiriya Kujo. I was killed on my birthday. 24 years old in order to bring back that I have to become kamen rider laser and collect gashats in the legend to pieces within 15 99 days... and now I'm running out of time. Not so much."

My guess is that it's just to have a graph with all Riders, they did something similar with Ghost, Specter and Necrom despite the latter not getting an upgrade beyond a reskin weapon

Para-DX's fighter gamer form looks like something that belongs in a pokemon game to me, and I can't put my finger on why.

Evil thought occurs to me.

Zombie Kiriya/Lazer under Kuroto's control. I don't think it's particularly likely, but... I don't think it's impossible either. We're still not entirely clear on what actually happens when you disappear from either the virus or the Gauge being depleted exactly. Everyone says you die, but... well, it makes sense, but it's not exactly an airtight assumption.

I dunno, maybe I'm just reading too much into a death censorship than I should.

His actor got the flowers. Kiriya's dead as a doornail.

Flowers may mean that Kiriya's actor is gone. But the suit and stuff can be worn by anyone. I think that's what they meant.

I think it's because of his eyes, certain pokemon have mean or hard stare eyes.
Almost like he's gonna scream "PARA DOOOOX"

I do hope they bring him back for one of the movies.

Since Kiriya's Gamer Driver and Bakusou Bike Gashat in CR members possession, probably the CR members will find new user for Lazer.

My guess: Stolen by Taiga / Snipe and used by (Junior Genius Gamer "N" / Emu's Secret Sister?) Nico until she switches allegiances.

Thats still possible too. Hmm...yeah it will be interesting if Nico become Rider.

Hmm..Nico's headphone really has DoReMiFa Beat vibes in my opinion.

The toy catalogue would likely have already a new Rider. When else has a significant Rider been introduced this late? "Chase" but Chase was constantly built up and was already significant

Well, you must remember, at least for now, Bakusou Bike is Emu's, so he can summon the Bike Gamer to finally be a proper Kamen Rider. To be honest, I don't see that changing. If anything I can see Bandai's pitch to Toei for Lazer was 'Bikes don't sell well on their own, and cumbersome stuff like the Iguana Ghostriker is hard for you to use; so make it a rider itself at first. That way, kids'll buy it for it's rider form - but it's still the main guy's bike!'
Like... I don't see Bakusou Bike being used for a new Lazer, at least not untik the 3rd Quarter.

On the flipside, though, yes, there has been a Rider unannounced in Toy Catalogs (semi-)recently - Knuckle. We had no idea he was coming until a couple of weeks before he did.
Who knows? Maybe we'll get Kamen Rider ---- Chanbara Gamer Level 1/2 in February.

What I'm expecting to happen is that Para-DX gets the spare Gamer Driver eventually, and uses it as a sort of "upgrade" that just allows him to use both of his Gamer forms at once.

It's...an idea built on a bunch of assumptions, but eh, it's a thought.

Hmmm....I am really hope we has new Riders beside Paradox. Thats will be become big surprise.

Bakusou Bike is probably as relevant as Evildiver from Ryuki at this point from the looks of it given that they probably got more merch to reveal and sell.
Still I too hope we see it get more airtime.

I'm really wondering if Kamen Rider Chronicle is some sort of endgame (heh) final Rider or something.

Kamen Rider Gold Drive counts. I mean, the suit itself didn't appear until the final, 4 or 5 episodes of Drive IIRC, but the character himself was extremely significant.

I hope Lazer finds a new user to carry out Kiriya's will.

Plus new riders & Bugster generals into play.

Did anyone see the new episode summaries?

I did.
A bit surprised one of the patients of the week has cancer. and it looks like Niko might become Snipe temporarily.

http://gameridernews.tumblr.com/post...es-for-january

Looks like the first episode of February features a funny spelling of the word Bugster. I'm not so sure it's a mistake though.

People have just been assuming that JuuJuu Burger is a toy exclusive Gashat, but an episode with the word "Burgster" is coming out the same week the Burger Gashat is supposed to. I can't see that being a coincidence.

I mean the Burger Gamer form will maybe be Ganbarizing exclusive (maybe not), but I'm betting we'll at least see the Gashat in episode 17.

Ok so I just noticed something a little weird. So Ex-Aid's Level XX is two guys, obviously. I'd been wondering who the suit actors would be, and more importantly, who Takaiwa would be. And it looks like he's R (orange), who is the M personality, while L (teal), the Emu personality, is Jun Watanabe (who usually does Brave, which raises some questions, but that's not the point).

Now, I'm like 80% sure that's just because Ex-Aid up to this point has always just been M, so if they're gonna split him into M and Emu, Takaiwa may as well just keep being M.

The other 20% of me wonders if there's any greater meaning to it, though. Usually the dedicated suit actors do all versions of the character regardless of what it is (though the chibi forms sorta throw a wrench into that this season to begin with). So the fact that Emu isn't Takaiwa is sort of interesting if they do end up going with M being some sort of alternate Bugster personality living within Emu's body or whatever it is they've been hinting at.

But it could be nothing. I wonder, regardless.

Or Lazer's suit actor maybe? They probably have him on kaijin duty now that Kiriya got the bouquet so that is a possibility.

What happens when Ex-Aid uses the Bakusou Bike? Does he insert it in the second gashat to summon the Bike Gamer?
