By the way, I never understood the claims to favoritism in relation to this show. So the thieves have more toys of their own and also use the other team's toys? But that's why they are thieves. Do they get more episodes? But after all, there has already been a show about police rangers (and, quite possibly, there will be more), so the new motif needs more attention. The main villain was given to defeat the Patorengers, so, as for me, they were not offended.

A decade on and GoBusters returns might still be my favourite Sentai movie? It's just so good, both as a parody of a more "traditional" Sentai without taking the piss, and as a change of pace for the GoBusters cast.

If you're going to give top billing to Patranger, and then sideline them in the second half of the show, then it gets annoying.

Wonder if we?ll have two female riders in Gotchard? One good and one evil?

Imagine the evil one like Juri from Street Fighter.

Plus the cards? They must feel like a mix of Blade & Build.

Power levels?. OVER 9,000!!!!!!

At the time, it seemed likely it was one of the annual attempts for someone to clickbait by faking a next-Rider image. Now that we've seen what's apparently the actual suit, four major possibilities occur to me:

1. It's a different form of Gotchard. (Possible, not likely.)
2. It's a different Gotchard Rider, and Gotchard will follow the Reiwa trend of many-Rider series. (Also possible, but I think unlikely.)
3. It's a Kabuto-style "cast off" outer form for Gotchard. (Unlikely because not enough details correspond.)
4. Someone who'd seen the actual suit used its description to prompt Dall-E or Midjourney, and that was the output. (I think this is the most likely.)

There are too many specific, accurate elements for it to have been a total fake: the arrow-eyes, the "Heisei-style Rider helmet on top," the overall color scheme. It's machine-produced, so it's got the uncanny valley element, but it's not a fake in the traditional sense. More like a poor drawing, maybe.

The suit doesn't instantly suggest how the retail toy line will work. (It seems that much of a Rider's design is based on the retail gimmick, such as Revolve On for Geats and Fourze's swappable modules.) Maybe the front panel swings open? Maybe the helmet swings open? Looking more closely, I think it may simply be Zero-One-style swappable armor, and the individual pieces connect to the angular shapes on the limbs.

I can't say I love the suit, though. Maybe it's the angle or the inexplicable white triangle, but it just seems like the bad kind of "busy." YM, of course, MV.

I saw rumor just now (most likely incorrect but I'll mention it for the sake of discussion) that maybe Riku Sanjo could do Gotchard.

Most likely not since he's still doing the Fuuto PI manga but if he did come back I'm not sure how to feel. I really enjoyed W (& what I saw of Kyoryuger was really fun) but I did not like Drive at all from beginning to end (even rewatches didn't increase enjoyment) so I feel like it could go either way for me.
