That being said... Taiga's bracelets were a bit mediocre IMO. If Geats' gimmick is bracelets, hopefully they can do something more interesting.

Only issue I have is if it is bracelets, I haven't the foggiest notion how they could do upgrades. Wizard had most of the sounds in the belt, which could be a possibility for Geats, but we have not had sounds for upgrades/final forms in the belt since Drive (and Type Trideron had sounds in the Shift Car itself, with only an announcement and standby music in the belt).

My problem with the "Wolf+Ax" concept is that after "Rabbit+Tank" it doesn't surprise me anymore. If they were swapped in time, then everything is OK, Toei do the same thing, but in a completely crazy way. But after Build...meh.
Another option is if Build was an older season. For example, if they now shoot a series about a glow-in-the-dark Rider transforming with a mobile phone, with a robot motorcycle whose belt is constantly stolen and called Inoue as a screenwriter, it will be similar to 555, but not identical. Trite because since 2003, costume designs, CGI, and even mobile phones have changed a lot. But since 2018, not so much.

It seems like another rumor has surfaced, this time about Geats' secondary:



To elaborate, Jiangshi are reanimated corspes (most likely brought back by supernatural causes) that move around by hopping with their arms outstretched, looking to suck to life force out of people. Depending on the source material, people often compare them to vampires or zombies.

What a monstrous theme for a secondary Rider? Perhaps they'll initally be villainous or something. I wonder if the item bit means that the secondary uses a different kind of Driver, or that one of the gimmick items (the bracelet or the buckle) resembles one. Jiangshi have very clear motifs/imagery, so I wouldn't be surprised if the buckle resembled a jiangshi's face, or something like that.

Not sure how true this considering all the "suit leaks" so far for Geats is re-hashing the same rumor more or less, but it sure would be a interesting theme for a Rider.
