Falchion huh? Interesting.

After his role as Kamen Rider Alpha Amazon, Taniguchi trades his claws and eggs to a sword and a book as Bahato!

I can hear the "woah woah woah woah amazon!" in the background.

And just like that, I love Saber.

He was also GoBlue!

Ah I see our first P-Bandai Driver is ready to go.

And Espada doesn't use a dress sword. What is your point?

Not gonna lie I really like the design. It definitely strays away from the overall aesthetic of the Saber suits but does it in a way that is actually good looking.

Oh hey, almost the entire suit is Ghost's Transient form, but repainted. Looks sick, though.

His human name appears to be Bacht or something?

According to twitter Falchion appears to use the "Eternal Phoenix" WRB: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Em0wqBmU...jpg&name=large

So I assume Toei just wanted to make a connection between the name and the book: Eternal Phoenix -> Mythical Bird -> Bird -> Falcon -> Falchion

Damn, between this and Shinobi, I'm starting to think the Ghost undersuit makes any reuse of it look incredible!

The Ghost undersuit has very generic shaping compared to other recent riders, so it's probably easy to make any paint job look good on it. There's not as many designs that would go well with, say, Build's diagonal spirals.

Falchion looks okay. Love the patterns, the shoulders kind of kill it for me though. Everything else gets a big YES from me.

And Blades only uses one sword too....

and there he is, the phoenix rider I expected to appear next to pegasus dragon and turtle. But i expected in the main show.

Glad to see Jin's actor back. Everytime I see an amazons actor I can't help having "wo wo wo wo wo wo-o" in mind

Isn’t it the tiger?

99% of the time yes. But in some work it is replaced with pegasus (in the manga BTX for example from Saint Seiya author).
Maybe that's a coincidence but the fact the Pegasus book is associated with the Lion book tends to make me think that (at least it was enough to make me think we would have a phoenix rider somehow).

But there is also the possibility it's just a coincidence and we will have a white tiger rider at some point to make the legit 4 chinese guardians happen.

After the latest episode of Saber, I want to throw in my prediction that the inevitable Q2 belt will come into the show via the Southern Base, and that it introduce not only a new rider or two, but also that Espada will join up with them and use the new belt just like Cross-Z Charge.

Also fingers crossed that if Reika really does become a rider through said Q2 belt, she'll be closer to something like Grease or Thouser (yes, despite his everything), as opposed to Marika!

I'm not counting that Reika girl as a female rider. I'm still waiting for the other girl!

And since we're talking about Southern Base. What if the next rider system we're introduced with riders with both swords & shields? ShielDriver! Picture the shield like a tablet.

...

??????

Luna?

I don't get why Reika wouldn't count???

Well I'm sorry for me being a sucker for a love story!

Even though there's not much about Luna, she could possibly have a role to play too in the series. She's got to have survived somehow.

Let it slide. The guy is obsessed with Luna for some reason and has been annoying with it for weeks. He will only stop once the show will end.

Thanks... I guess...

Look things are just going rough for me due to COVID.

I didn't say anything about Luna...

The only Luna I know is this one.

I'm unsure as to who Luna is, but if she does become a Rider, I will photoshop my cat with a belt and sword, you have my word.

You should do that regardless! The world needs a hero like her...

She killed a mouse once, which I'm sure was involved in som variety of Golgom Plot (TM).

Oh forget it! You got your opinions and theories & I got mine. You guys won't bother with it anyway.

theories are usually based on something. If you want romance so bad then watch a romance drama. kr barely ever has any so obsessing over it is nonsensical. watch something lighthearted or talk to someone close if things are rough as you said.

Just throwing this out there but I am not a fan of Touma's fashion choices!

If there was an adaptation of Saber in the future, instead of "henshin" maybe something like this...

• Saber: Fire within me!
• Blades: Water around me!
• Espada: Thunder strike me!
• Buster: Earth beneath me!
• Kenzan: Winds above me!
• Slash: Sound harmonize/orchestrate me!
• Calibur: Darkness consume me!
• Falchion: Life Force awaken me!

Im not usually a fan of adaptations but thats actually not a bad idea to replace "henshin"

What about Rintarou/Mei? Episode 7 seems to be setting that up.

The biggest upside is that he can clutch or lose his hat for maximum dramatic effect.

Oh of course! I'm excited for them.

Does anybody know what the name of his sword is?

Wasnt he in gogov as well. I forgot if he was delta as well. Even kuugas actor wanted to audition for gogov. Jin typecast in scarfaced toku roles. At first he looks like a defected humangear. Make sense if we're doing a vs movie war. Legiel's head sculpt also looks like a humangear/roidmude.

Both sound like suicide lol.
