I AM THE LAW. :lolol
Seriously the design looks awesome and love the color scheme.

Cool name, cool color scheme, cool organic-looking armors, and artistic design. What more could I ask for? You can clearly feel the dark/sinister aura. I'm not sure whether it's a redesign or a brand new design, but if it's indeed a redesign, then KR Dread is definitely in my top 3 list of the best suit/armor redesign/partial redesign in the history of this franchise, along with KR Amazon Neo Alpha and KR Cronus.

Yep. This is Demons Driver v2.0.

I was also kinda wrong on Super Gotchard. I thought the normal variant (without the X Assemble card) would only have one Chemy at one time. Fortunately, this news came out. While I still dislike the undersuit's color scheme, at least the armor's color scheme looks less chaotic than the X Assemble variant. The goofy-shaped armors are fine, though. My hope of seeing a cool Level 10 form is kinda fulfilled.

And it seems like the X Gotchalibur does indeed work as my analysis here. The analysis should have two attached annotated images. Not sure why they disappear.

Yep. This is definitely a top-tier (re)design.

It's Guyver meets Guyferd/Deathferd meets Cooler.

Does anyone sense Leangle vibes somewhere in Dread?

He'll be quite menacing to Gotchard & Valvarad.

It kind of does, with the red arrows on the elbows and thighs.

That's exactly what a hater does.

Agreed. I remember when both Riders used to get cool exclusive stuff, like Wizard Special Rush and Fourze Meteor Nadeshiko Fusion States in Movie War Ultimatum.

Huh, this looks like a Dark Rider and not in the Kamen Rider Evil kind of way. Makes me wonder when the Secondary Rider's going to show up.

Super Gotchard X-Rex reminds me Kyoryu Origami with the dinosaur motif and red/azure combo. Totally looks cool!

Super Gotchard UFO-X is weird, but in a way that seems deliberate. I can appreciate it.

I hope we get to see Super Gotchard X Wizard eventually, since it's the only Level 10 form for the standard 8 categories that hasn't been shown yet.

Dread looks amazing. It's funny how our first "official" Rider after Gotchard is an evil Rider. I'm curious if they'll stay evil the whole show or ease into a kind of tertiary Rider status.

UFO-X and Rex-X are unique, but I feel like the torso's are so top heavy I'm not sure how well the suits will move.

No disrespect this form does look very fun and fits the show's theme well imo about how the writers or producers want the series to be more upbeat but I feel Shining Hopper and Dragonic Knight are still some of the best Q1 designs in all of Kamen Rider

I think it's a possibility? The color scheme is a little off but I'm sure I'm not the only one who got Hakaider/brainwashed villain vibes after a few more glances at the suit.

Better looks at Super UFO-X, Super X-Rex and Kamen Rider Dread.

These remind me of Mega Man Battle Network forms.

there will always be that debate between people who love AcidCrazyColorMixedWTFPatchwork forms and SimpleSleekbutImpactfulandRefined forms :D


Kamen Rider Dread looks nice and, even just by the head, I feel like it could be the closest we will ever be from a Kamen Rider (Dark) GARO

Thanks, now Dread will be forever known as Makai Rider Dread. :lolol
Or would it be Horror Rider being a villain and all. :lolol
I mean, the suit does give off Makai Knight Kiba vibes but in a dark shade of violet now that you mention it.


UPDATE. Sabimaru likely will be Kamen Rider Dread from the looks of it.

SPOILERS


News flash, Sabimaru will be forced to transform into Kamen Rider Dread, so I wonder if we might see a few more others become Dread or it's just gonna be him and we move on to someone else who will be Dread for good.

Could be true. Perhaps Shiori will conveniently use her dimension-bending ability to unexpectedly put the new Driver on the desperate Sabimaru? She can easily steal stuffs from inside a secure, closed storage, so this kind of feat is child's play to her. Though, I'm not a fan of the Kaixa/Delta trope (one Driver/powerset being used by several people).

Kamen Rider Dread looks amazing! For a Villain Rider to appear this early on and look this good is quite honestly a delight for me.

Wouldn't have minded too much not having a Villain Rider but I can't deny they looks great.

As for the new Gotchard Forms, I kind of like them. Sure, X Rex has a color scheme very similar to Elemental Dragon, but I kind of think this works better? As for UFO, it reminds me of Fourze Magnet States, which I kind of enjoy.

Good stuff.

So Dread made his appearance in this weeks episode. So obviously, the episode recap has some extra notes on him:

Dread uses RepliChemy Cards, inverted colored RCCs, with a slightly different energy bar, and some kind of change to the Text I can't clearly see.

https://www.tokunation.com/forums/at...1&d=1700961864

They're created from all the Blank RCCs that got stolen.

Dread also specifically uses RepliChemy Steam Liner to transform, and then Drains the others to use them in battle. This process is stated to essentially sacrifice them but... "There are many Replichemy cards, so
just squeeze out as much power as you can and forget the rest. It's disposable." -Atropos

Speaking of Drain, the Dread Driver apparently also can absorb the knowledge of the wielder, a key reason as to why Sabimaru was taken. With the added benefit that Sabimaru, apparently/when forced to, fights like Hotarou, using the Chemies for their individual characteristics. (This also means Spanner is now totally having an Arc where he learns to see his Chemies as more than tools)

So what im hearing is, Dread is going to be multiple people for a little while, before going to a single person for the rest of the time. So that way Dread has taken in a lot of knowledge from the past users

hopfuly dread stays a villain

Whoever the sole user will end up being, I can picture Dread having a Kamen Rider G4 moment. Maybe Kugimiya?

Whoever takes up the mantle of dread is most likely going to have a upgrade

Cause Dread is called kamen rider Dread Type Zero

meaning this is only Dread's first rider form, which kinda means we will get a newer version of dread later

Interesting, so the RepliChemies actually scream as their used (y'know, just for that extra lil bit of cruelty)

Also we now sort of know what DaiOni and Unicorn look like. Interesting that Unicorn is numbered 3, as I think the toy-hackers determined that the numbers of the Fantasy and Cosmic RCCs couldn't be determined.

Well there was no real way to determine levels from the sounds alone. For Occult and Ancient, we knew most of the levels of their matches. Cosmic and Fantastic only match with each other, so levels can’t really be determined there.

The latest rumours indicate that Legend will be returning in April, with a new power up gun, while Gotchard will be getting his “ultimate item” in June.

MAJOR SPOILER!!!

Color809, the Chinese leaker from Tieba has just give out infos regarding Gotchard's final form.

Apparently Gotchard will use the 101st Chemy Card, which is a rainbow themed dragon, along with two other rainbow themed cards to transform into his final form.

Rainbow Gotchard ajd Gorgeous Legend

I heard Rainbow Dragon, and thought of the Yu-Gi-Oh card.
Also there?s already a Dragon card, so why double up?
Also looking at the image, not seeing green or purple.
As for Legend, is his new form more ridiculous than Decade 21?

Decade Complete 21 has a brother!

Rainbow Gotchard looks pretty alright, I dig the 2 rainbow arrows pointing at the big furnace/core in the center.

Gorgeous Legend is... just okay, I want to see how the actual suit looks. Specifically, that giant wheel on him is either gonna make or break the form for me.

Although now that I think about it... Why is Legend getting a power up form exactly? He's not like Naki who was a character only in the specials at first but relevant to the actual show, he's from a whole other dimension/world. This is like if they gave Kamen Rider Lupin a new form near the finale of Drive.

Sucks to be the suit actor for Gorgeous Legend, that's for sure. That ring around the neck looks uncomfortable. :lolol
Also, are Gorgeous Legend's eyes magenta? Or pink? :lolol

So turns out Chemy #101 was actually Cross-Z Dragon all along, huh. :p Curious to find out about his lore.

Who'd be the permanent candidate of Dread after Sabimaru, Lachesis & Clotho? But until then, who'll be the next likely candidate?

What about Licht Kugimiya?

I think Dread will become its own chemy or being

Dread will also most likely have 1 or two more forms

Dread rebelling against the 3 main antagonists to be an anti-hero would certainly be interesting.

Dread behaves like some kind of primitive, immature creature that's partly controlled by Atropos, and the maturation process requires several Dreadriver users as base samples. So, perhaps when it's actually matured it will form a separate, independent entity, which could be Glion. Or, perhaps the last user will fuse with it and be transmuted into the physical vessel for Glion or a new powerful villain. So far, Atropos plan smells like she's attempting to revive some kind of incapacitated entity (Gllion?).

True and based on the name of Dread

Dread type Zero

type Zero its as if it means we will get a type one and type two. which i think is what will happen. Plus Dread appeared super fucking soon compare to when the secondary would appear

Type Zero is like the larva stage, type 1 will be the coccon stage and two is its full form.

And then, mass-produced Kamen Rider Dreads.

RepliDreads?

Kamen Rider Majade & the AlchemisDriver.

love the colors on the suit.
