i can't believe vram's final form is kiramaisilver

Welcome back Faiz Accel.

WHAT :lolol
I like how Valen and Vram can now be paired up as the gold and silver double riders now.

I think Vram might have the best Final Form of the Gavv trio. Definitely best tertiary Final Form.

Nyelv's full Granute form leaked.

Hearing rumors, I am NOT HAPPY Sachika isn't gonna become a rider! But will Lizel Jaldak become one or a new female character takes the role?

I'm torn on Sachika not being a Rider. On the one hand I'm glad we have a significantly important main character that doesn't become a Rider. On the other hand, that leaves us with no female Riders. I do wonder what Sachika's Rider motif would be.

So she’s another Mei Sudo then?

Still not happy about that.

Would you go for Lizel or a new female half-breed Granute like Shoma?

For motif? I go for yogurt if she took up a Vrastumgear.

Given that we have been getting female Riders for the last six years, Sachika not being is fine.
She doesn?t have to be to have an impact.

Thank God Sachika is not going to be a Rider. Not every main character needs to be a Rider. The biggest flaw of the past several seasons is that there are too many Riders. I'm totally okay with Gavv dialing it back some.

Is there any chance for a new female rider to born in V-Cinemas or a crossover with Zeztz?

I could honestly seeing Lizel being a trick out final villain, such as (Spoiler) Kamen Rider Solomon with Nyelv being the true final villain. I would probably just have her be Bitter Gavv or Bake at this point unless she uses a new belt that the true final villain uses. The problem is with the point that we're at, I don't think it would make sense for Lizel to be the final villain nor would it make sense for her to have a brand new belt. And it would also not make sense to add another new half granute half human. I would say maybe Lizel but if not, don't force someone to be a Rider if it wont work for the story, no matter their gender.

I?m super annoyed that they put her in the opening in a way that seems like it foreshadows her being a Rider. Unless she will still be a Rider (somehow). I don?t see that happening at this point but I would?ve loved to see that.

This right here.

Shouma appears, and the bubble that pops up next to him in his Rider form. Hanto appears at first next to an empty bubble. Once he becomes a Rider, the bubble depicts his Rider form. The third regular character in the credits appears, and her bubble stays empty for the entire show.

My suspicion is that Sachika was originally intended to be the Rider rounding out the show's trio, specifically as the second Vlaam user, and that her default form was intended to be the hot-pink jelly. For a while after Rakia first appeared, the show was making it pretty clear that Rakia using his hot-pink jelly form's power was jeopardizing his life. Then the show abruptly dropped that whole thread.

If what I suspect is correct, my guess is that Sachika was originally supposed to become Vlaam after Rakia's death, but the actor/character proved popular enough for the show to keep him around (and try to awkwardly shoehorn him into the credits), so the notion of Sachika becoming Vlaam was scrapped.

Pure speculation, of course, but it would fit the discrepancy in the opening credits and the sudden abandonment of the "Rakia's jelly form is damaging his heart" plot.

I'm torn, because on the one hand Gavv not having a female rider feels like a step backwards and it does seem like there was setup for Sachika to become one, not just the opening and the stuff with Lakia's heart but also how she kept showing willingness to fight even though she was outclassed.

But on the other hand, Sachika has been kind of a masterclass in how to make a non-Rider character still relevant to the story and a valuable ally, and between emotional support, information gathering and problem-solving I don't think she really needs to fight directly too.

If I had to choose, yeah I'd want her to become a rider somehow, but if Gavv is the first Reiwa without a female rider then at least it'll have a really great heroine to make up for it.

I also wouldn't rule out Lakia's heart thing popping up again, Gavv so far hasn't left many loose threads and between his current arc about confronting his past, his upcoming new form, and Nylev stepping more into the spotlight, there's plenty of ways it could become relevant again...

The problem with this theory is that Gavv finished shooting several months ago. Half of the series was filmed before it began airing, with Lakia's redemption arc having finished well before the halfway mark. The newest episodes were likely shot back in December, around the time his introduction aired.

I feel like Gavv's kind of a step backwards in a lot of ways. As much as I love Sachika (she's great but it feels like she's still being limited by the writing), we only have her, Glotta, and Lizel for female characters in the show. Lizel only just showed up and she's alright so far. So that meant due to Siita's death early on, we only had Sachika and Glotta for a while with the latter... kinda just not making many meaningful appearances throughout most of the show until recently. I'm interested in seeing where Glotta goes but like...

The lack of female presence in the show, especially when compared to Gotchard (love it or hate it, that somehow had a more balanced ratio of male to female cast members) and the lack of a female Rider after all these years, I'd definitely push it as a point against this show despite it's mostly solid consistency.

Because I do enjoy Gavv, though it's far from perfect and it being the first show Toei's done advanced shooting for definitely shows in its structure.

Makes sense

Who wants to see Rakia and Sachika as a potential couple? Unlike how Bouche & Michiru who brought out Shoma due to being a mistress, Rakia and Sachika would be bonded out of true love for a human & Granute and have their future child right!

I mean, Gavv has a much smaller cast than a typical Reiwa series period. This feels like a deliberate throwback to the early Heisei shows where the casts were much smaller and focused. The advanced shooting schedule has also been a net gain in my opinion. There's more care placed into the action, and the best part is that there's no sign of a bullshit retool as a response to low toy sales.

I personally saw the heart issue with Vram Jelly Custom being a weakness to the form's powers, kind of like how most of Gavv's forms have a weakness.

It'd be a small miracle but I'm pulling for the Final Boss to not be a Kamen Rider they pull out of nowhere.
Just like her big brother!
Kind of ironic considering the head writer is a woman, though I'm not sure that necessarily correlates to anything.

Would it be nice if the boy Hajime made a return as he runs away from home due to his parents badmouthing about Shoma & his heroics?

Be nice if Rakia interacted with him about Shoma's situation, even reuniting with Shoma.

Can't imagine his mom would think of going on a witchhunt on Shoma, Hanto & Rakia and getting Hapipare to find her son, thinking they'll harm him. But Sachika would refuse her help as she knows her friends aren't the bad guys, but Stomach Inc. are.

Ooo, good observation.

All I can think is that filming and post-production, like the editing/assembly of the opening sequence would've been different steps taking place at different times. The material that was filmed would've reflected the show's creators' ideas for how the series would progress very early on, and the pieces the opening production team had to work with would've been based on what had been filmed. If the opening was the first thing that got filmed, Rakia might not yet have been cast at that point.

Regardless, the idea that the first half of the opening reflects only early ideas could explain why some of the things the short-term things the opening sequence implies came to pass (Hanto becoming a Rider and developing a good relationship with Shouma and Sachika) while other long-term elements haven't (Sachika potentially as a Rider and a regular progression of the Stomach family dying, etc.)

Do you all see Gavv based off of Fenrir or Garmr as the Stomach siblings are based off of Norse creatures

• Lango: Fafnir
• Glotta: Kraken
• Nyelv: possibly Jormungandr
• Jiip: Hati
• Siita: Skoll

I think if Gavv's design even has an animal inspiration (which it might or it might just be a coincidence), a rabbit would fit better than a wolf. The toed shoes also look like rabbit paws, the crests on his head in Poppin Gummy and especially Over/Master forms look more like rabbit ears than wolf ears, and it fits better with both Shoma's sweet personality and his "bouncy" fighting style.

Gavv's animal motif is a kangaroo; the Gavv being a "pouch" that Shouma gets his minions from.

Jormungandr or Nidhoggr. Both are an possibility right now.

Funny, because Kangol Sport announced limited edition Gavv-themed bags in Japan this year, and one with Faiz before that in 2024.

New magazine scans featuring Vram's final form, as well as a glimpse of Bocca's human disguise.

I'd say that Gavv's animal motif is a hornet.

What's the name of Vram's final form? Also, hello Apple Reflecter, nice to see you be reused now. It was one of the coolest shields from Kamen Rider, and gives Fourze's Shield Module a break now.

You know, with Lango still there and having the scar over his right eye from the latest episode, I have a feeling that he survived the fight. Not without massive amounts of damage, but definitely survived.

Also, wild to see that Bocca decided to have a human form, too, didn't really think he would get one.

Feels like the villains are all going to be fighting tooth and nail to see who ends up being the Final Boss.

Then it's a good thing they have a lot of teeth.

A la Mode Mode (not a typo, it's actually repeated twice:lolol), likely based on pie a la mode.

A bit disappointed Bocca's disguise doesn't have a beard

A much clearer pic of human Bocca.

Yea honestly, felt like Bocca would have a beard.

Maybe he picked a young adult male disguise because he thought all of the older ones they could offer were disgusting to him.
