Say hello to Kamen Rider Caries!

The movie villain's based off cavities, where's Dentman when you need him?

Also, that's a pretty awesome repaint ngl.

As far as Movie Evil Riders go...that's pretty legit.

I see... the usual Bitter Gavv head, Elemental Dragon's shoulders, probably some other Saber rider's shinguards, and I think Revice Eagle Genome's chestplate?

Helmet - Bitter Gavv
Shoulders - Elemental Dragon
Chest - Revice Eagle Genome
Arms - Wizard Land Dragon's Claws
Shins - Calibur

Accompanied by a new Gavv that looks to be lever activated. Though the trailer has scenes of the belt where it's completely white/blue on the top instead of the black we see on Caries. Which means this is another two part belt which will likely be used by the shows Final Boss, or at least a Final Rider.

Since I've been seeing rumors that we are getting a last minute belt that's a modified (Bitter)Gavv done in blue/white.

Huh, didn't notice that until now. I guess if it does get released, it would be a P-Bandai release, especially since if they're replacing the crank with a lever, and having an exchangeable faceplate of sorts. Would make sense, the internals would need to really be changed for the lever, I think.

Will we see more of Jiip as Bitter Gavv if he takes up Sparkingummy and Breacookie? Add in Chocold too!

According to the Wiki he is also based on Fenrir.
Aside from the clawed feet I don?t see it.
All his forms are too soft looking.

Who on earth decided that?

I personally think Gavv is like, Kangaroo adjacent. Idk, there's something about the way Gavv feels that just screams Kangaroo to me.

Probably the bouncing and the big kangaroo ears on Popping Gummy form. I can totally see kangaroo.

Not to dismiss the kangaroo motif possibility, because I'm down for it and it's plausible as a hidden motif like Faiz's hidden motif being a shark, but what if it turns out to be a jerboa? :lolol

Also the gochizo in his belt vaguely evoke a joey in a kangaroo's pouch (kinda funny how only female kangaroos have that but Zero-One and Revice both got one in their kangaroo forms).

Personally I see Gavv more as a rabbit, but the kangaroo theory makes as much sense as the wolf one

I think the wolf idea would've made a lot more sense if the Shouma=Granute Lago theory was true, but it seems like 5 year-old Hanto hallucinated that Red Gavv in his drawing.

Based on Gavv's bounciness and transparent regenerative armor, perhaps we should consider the possibility of some kind of salamander.

Honestly I rather focus on Gavv being candy/snack-themed than try to figure out what animal he vaguely resembles, after five straight seasons of having animals be a part of the motif in some way.

I think Gavv has wolfish head silhouette and claws to serve as a red herring to make people believe that he was the Granute that killed Hanto's mother. Outside of that, he really doesn't have an animal motif.

If Gavv was adapted in the US/Canada, would you all go the direction of The Man in the Iron Mask or The Count of Monte Cristo?

All I want now is a Monte Cristo gochizo.

That depends. If I were to adapt Gavv, I'd have Shoma be more open to blaming the Stomach family for what's wrong in his life, practically rubbing it in their faces that it's their fault(s) for not being better people whenever he should come to blows with them. Which direction works better for that?

Here’s something I’ve been thinking of, would the story be better served if Shouma were a full Granute as opposed to half?

I don't think so.
A lot of the story hinges on him being a half Granute. His siblings ostracizing him and him growing up with a parental figure that cares for him.
It's also part of why his father even gave him a modicum of special treatment compared to his siblings, due to his Gavv not functioning properly, which was part of the resentment Shiita and Jeep held towards him.

While the story could work with him being a full Granute, it would need to become a lot more contrived.

Interesting question. Not necessarily better, but certainly different. I imagine Shouma would get close with Michiru, in this case his stepmother, who teaches him the value of humans and delicious snacks. Him having a weak Gavv needing remodification would simply be explained as a disability. After the death of Bouche, the Stomachs would go after their heretic brother Shouma and Michiru, resulting in Michiru getting Hitopressed and Shouma escaping to Earth alone and changing his surname to Inoue. He would later befriend Sachika, who's secretly a human-Granute hybrid born from a romance between a reformed part-timer and a human who made them change their ways.

Well, that's my take on the premise anyway.

I question why Shouma needs to have a human mom.
I do not think a reason was given why Bouche wanted to conceive a child with a human, nor do I think we have any good moments of Shouma and Bouche together.
Bouche seemingly wanted Michiru unhappy to make sure she would not become ingredients.
But if he wanted to keep her safe, why not just an executive order for no one to go after her on Earth?
He told his other kids to not harm Michiru and Shouma, but did he think they would not try anything after his death?
His Gavv can still be defective, prompting Dente to turn it into the Red version.
Him being more emphatic and not in agreement with Stomach Inc can be the reason for being an outcast instead of being half human.
I believe the more you think about it the messier it becomes.

I feel at some point this becomes questioning a story solely for the sake of questioning it as there's nothing particularly bad here. It's like if someone called Star Wars bad because Luke Skywalker having little to no experience flying was able to make a one in a million shot.



Why did he have a human wife and had a kid with her? You can say Bouche loved her.
Should we have had moments of Bouche and Shouma before the former died? Not really, it's made clear that the Stomach family is incredibly dysfunctional as a whole, so this isn't a thing just for Shouma and Michiru. After all, Lango didn't care about the wellbeing of Jeebh and Shiita, Nyelv performanced backalley surgery on his own brother, Glotta's trying desperately to keep them together, etc.
Why did Bouche not simply stop attacking humans? Because then he'd have to stop working on dark confections entirely, and if he can keep Michiru alive for certain under his watch, then he wouldn't have to sacrifice his business, for he is a bad person.
Again, tbe family is dysfunctional, Bouche likely never expected it nor would he have reason to. "My word, they seem to be giving Michiru and Shouma are hard time. Marvelous, they must have been listening to me telling them to make them miserable for the sake of survivability, and as I am not omnipotent, I have no reason to expect them to change their attitudes when I die!"
Why not just make Shouma a disabled Granute? Well, there's no other human Granute hybrids, Shouma's the only one of his kind. As disabled people exist, accomodations would also exist, meaning it would arguably be more questionable to change for you as why hasn't other disabled Granute become a Rider?
Why would he change like that? He wouldn't have a human mother who he saw being miserable from her people being eaten, he would have been raised to simply become part of the company without a shred of remorse like the rest of the Stomach siblings.

Considering how Lango said that Granute society is "might makes right", they would probably just have chucked a "full Granute but disabled" Shoma out into the streets to die. Hell, there's no proof that Bouche would even treat a full Granute Shoma any better, disabled or not, considering that he already treated his full Granute children poorly.

Like boom, that's the end of Gavv. Stopped before it started.

Not to mention that Shoma being half-human/half-Granute is important because it makes him a total outsider for both sides. He's monstrous because of being half-Granute to humans, but he's a pathetic weakling (at the beginning) to Granutes. Let's not forget that even when he transformed for the first time against Hound, he still had some difficulty fighting him. A part of his journey is accepting that while on the surface, he doesn't belong to either world, that he has the right to create his own where he does belong, with Hanto, Sachika, Lakia, and Dente.

This really is just questioning something for the sake of questioning. And I hate this sort of question as a criticism. It's fine for fanfiction, but like, asking if a story would improve if a gigantic aspect of it was changed has way more ripple effects than people think. We'd get an entirely different story altogether.

I feel I’m gonna skip today’s episode as I fear Shoma & Rakia to be rejected.

Just wish Masaru learns of Shoma being Michiru’s kid & his nephew and hears from Shoma all that’s happened. I want him to be a part of it!

In the smallest nutshell possible, the story practically requires Shoma to be half-Granute to even happen.

Movie-exclusive form: Gavv Hexenheim

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvflUTN0USo

Can anyone tell what candy that's based on? I saw some speculation that it's named after a nickname for a bakery but I'm not sure

It's a Gingerbread House and to shorten it as much as possible, the etymology it seems to borrow from is Hexenhaus which is like, Witch's House in German I believe. Which is where that first bit comes from.

The heim meanwhile is like the realm signifier from Norse mythology, Helheim, Vanaheim, Jotunheim, etc.

:lolol

Bike scene AND a traditional Rider Kick? Nice!

Looks like Shouma ate Hanselnuts To Gretel. I love the design and colors!

Yeah, love the light purple and blue combo they got going for the suit. :rock:

THERE'S the Gavv final form I was hoping for, serving us frosted-sugar-icing realness.

NGL, this comes to mind every time I see it. :lolol

We seriously got a Kamen Rider Verde Gochizo instead of a Kamen Rider Slash Gochizo.

Wut.

Seriously it's not even a Ryuki Anniversary year what even???

This makes me very, very, VERY happy.

Who’s to bet after Nyelv, the final battle will be Vram vs Lizel, Valen vs Jiip/Bitter Gavv & Gavv (+Lango temporarily) vs Bocca? And then the last fight will be the rider trio vs Lango for a fight for control of the company as well as the fate of both races.
