What if they are all women?

Poggers. A whole plethora of female riders will definitely itch my wallet.

Oh man, that would be so cool! Even if only a few of them were developed characters, a group of female knights would be awesome. It would be kinda funny if there were riders based on Amazons or valkyries, given how those names are already in use by other riders.

Although, if Toei actually did make Southern Base all women, I feel like we'd be worrying constantly that they'd find some way to ruin it.

Personally, I don't think it's likely that they're all women at the Southern Base. And while I'm not really having high hopes of the number of female Riders increasing for the franchise, I would definitely love to see more. One can only wonder what motifs a female Rider from this series would have. And one can only hope they'd actually get to be interesting and do stuff...

THAT would be something wild. What about the Southern Base's rider system? Do they have Swordrivers too? Or perhaps something else as they're in the south pole.

Plus wonder when we'll see...

• Blades: Lion Pegasus
• Espada: Lamp do Cerberus

We've seen Saber's Saiyuu Dragon!

Personally, I think it would be a good excuse to introduce a new Rider system (Like the Genesis Riders from Gaim) from the Southern Base. Like, the Northern Base use real Holy Blades, while maybe the Southern Base people could be a way to introduce artificial/imitation Holy Blades. Although there are still some elements they could introduce, like metal or ice, for new Holy Blades.

Yeah, the one thing I'm willing to bet about the Southern Base is that their Drivers of choice are the one introduced after Christmas.

Artificial swords huh? What about shields as their "drivers" like Wolzard's, Double's Prism Bicker, Houoh Soldier's, Mars' & Idunn's?

Or should it be a different belt in some way?

Depending on the number of elements & their riders perhaps: ice, metal, poison, smoke, nature - wood/plantlife, mind - illusion & psychokinesis, sun - light & moon - gravity? Time & space probably for the extreme power.

They could also have a wider variety of weapons like axes, spears, bows, etc. whereas even the unusual weapons from the Northern Base are still swords. That could tie into a theme of the Northern Base being more traditional or unified while Southern Base riders are more innovative or independent.

I definitely think they're going to keep with swords, even if just as a base element. I personally expect to see stuff like Kenzan's -- "It's a Sword, but it's also a shuriken/axe/shield/gun/lance/bow/knuckleduster/bo staff/rider kick"

Knuckleduster? Rider kick?

I think the SworDriver is pretty easy to remold; like an imitation SworDriver where they keep the base, but instead of having a sword, it just has an activation handle on the right side, like 90% of belts in recent years. Especially if there were to be some sort of army builder/mass produced Rider.

Of course, no basis for this, but I just think if there were to be a remold/repaint of anything, it might be that.

Although Falchion's belt already is a repaint/remold, though, so not sure they'd make another one.

Kamen Rider Kenzan has an official transformation sequence now:

So here's a thought. Saber's final form weapon will pretty much be just a gigantic Swiss Army Knife that has all the swords folded and accessible when needed. :lolol

Wonder if the Megid are just the beginning, and we'll have new villains take over.

Kinda like Goseiger with Warstar, Majuu & Mantorintis.

Although there will probably other antagonists of some sort (such as the Southern Base or Tassel), Goseiger is exactly what Saber won’t be.
In Goseiger, you had the three tribes - Skick, Seaick and Landick and each antagonist group paralleled each tribe (the Warstar descended from the sky, the Majuu were tied to the earth and the Mantorintis was ocean-based. The final enemy could also use all three powers.
In Saber, you also have three divisions - Legendary Creatures, Beasts, and Stories...but the enemies already parallel all three types with both the MotWs and the generals - Legiel, Zoous and Storius. They also already have someone who can use all three powers in Desast as well.

Do you think they'd make a remold of Axcalibur capable of using Wonder Ride Books?

Other than that, the "knuckleduster" could make a neat tactical dagger. "Holy blade" doesn't really require a full sword's length.
How would the rider kick work? Would that be Kingexcalibur doing a rider kick?

Wizard Infinity's weapon? I can't recall any time Rider has done a remold of a previous season's item and put it in a new series, unless it's specifically connected and meant to be the same thing (Neo Decadriver), or is like, belt straps. I wouldn't mind seeing them do it but it doesn't sound like they'd do it any time soon.

Surely a "Shieldriver" could work for the Southern Branch in some way.

I dunno about the ax-sword idea. Could be another alternative in a way.

Now that I think about it, even if they make a remold for an ax-gun, Ex-aid's Keyslasher from his LV XX form is just as likely, if not more.

I highly doubt Toei would do an actual remold of a previous season's weapon. I mean, swords that turn into guns have been featured several times in previous seasons, but Suzune isn't a remold of any of them. But I could definitely see them re-using the general idea of a sword that is also an axe.

Kamen rider brain just sneeze. I think the South Pole swordsman riders will get repaints. They tease them, but if they're not showing up next month like neo genesis riders, then they'll be fodder like kurotrooper with one wild card powerful rider with a new driver like the thosuer or the typical third rider that typically s debut during the / New Years .

Kamen Rider Brain was an online special with a budget far, far less than a full TV series. Repainting an old prop is very different to repainting and/or retooling an older you and reselling it years later. They’ve never, ever done that, but they repaint props all the time - like the RioTrooper’s weapon, for instance.

The hypothetical form generator has been updated with two more “Mukashi” books and Tri-Cerberus added.

I hope the King of Arthur Wonder Ride Book have a Wonder Combo. Probably the other books for King Arthur's Wonder Combo are have a mecha too...

Maybe the other two mecha Books are used by Blades and Espada...

Is Swordsmen Retsuden just not being subbed by anyone anymore or...?

Not feeling Saber's but Blades has some strong Ryuki vibes.

Yo saber is just gallantmon (dukemon) now?!

Broooo Draconic Knight is the fucking GOOD SHIT.

Also i see the fighting did never end, and Saber and Blades are now Mirror Riders.

Ryuki-esque designs.
A visor that reads books to give powers.
DRAGONic KNIGHT.
Dragonic Knight's artwork has Saber ride a Chinese dragon, as in, Dragredder.

Holy shit this is so blatant and it's amazing. Can't upload right now but Slash, Kenzan and Buster all get new forms too

So, this is the equivalent of Shining Assault Hopper and Assault Wolf, right? Twin upgrade forms that are similar and debuts around EP 15-16? Which means we're gonna see it for a good while before being replaced by the super form.

GG no upgrade for Espada tho.

I love the designs in this show so much.
Dragonic Knights could honestly pass for a new, evil Rider lol he almost makes Calibur look like a good guy.
I can't wait for more RKFs. I wonder what makes Saber and Blades' upcoming RKFs more expensive than the others.

Oh he'll get an upgrade.


In May 2021 as a Kitbashed Draconic Knight when he returns from the dead by the villain faction.

I love Saber Dragonic Knight. I think silver is best color for his upgraded form..
About Blades King Lion Senki, I am not big fan to his newest form especially because his upgraded form are have same color with his default form....

Hmm....I think black color are better color for Blades King Lion Senki....

Holy crap, I absolutely love these designs! Saber is radically different while Blades' isn't, which I maybe kinda prefer. I still like them both, though! The book spread looks insane, though! I'm guessing it'll involve a bunch of sliding panels that normally form a single image before transforming - at least that's the only way I can imagine that working.

So one long ridebook? Fair enough

This is spot on- Dragonic Knight is three semi-transparent pages that slide out to the left, King Lion is pages that flip out both right and left. Source: another page of scan that I'll pop here if I can hunt it down again!

Personally I'm loving Dragonic Knight, but need to sit on King Lion for a while. It's definitely good, it just looks a little too much like Blades' other forms, and I can't quite figure out what those gun-like things over his shoulders are...

Well, that was easier to track down again than expected!

Not seen anything yet about the supposed upgrades for Kenzan/Buster/Slash if that was a legit claim not a joke! Presumably though the dragvisor looking thing they both have on their wrists clears up what the "Dragonic Knight/King Lion Booster" is.

Pretty sure that's referring to the three interchanging their extra Ride Books. Kenzan burrows Jackun from Buster, Slash burrows 3 little pigs from Kenzan, and Buster burrows Bremen.

They aren't upgrades in the same style as Blades and Saber, they're alternate forms.

Yep. They're even straight up called the Dragonic Booster and King Lion Booster respectively.

Yup! Just came here to mention that @DanganYankee has the motherlode of scans, confirming Trey's point about those three swapping around books and also showing that Blades can turn into a Lion now, for... Reasons.

Whoever pointed out that Espada is conspicuously absent raises a very good point, welp. It is nearly Christmas, after all...
