I can definitely see that, though I was also thinking Saikou, both Shadow and X-Swordman, but I do see the Blade influence here.

From what little detail we get for Live, he definitely has the more bat look to him. It's interesting to note that his weapon is his transformation object and not a belt, maybe Live will have the belt?

As for possible candidates, unless Daiji's moment comes early, I'd wager it to be that FENIX commander who got demoted after failing to become Revice. Either that, he's someone new they bring in, kind of like when Durandal appeared in Saber.

I don't they'd go with the "FENIX was evil from the start" angle this early. It's certainly questionable why they didn't have more security around a project this dangerous, but my wager is that one of the real estate agents is, both as a civilian and a Rider, Evil.

Ha.
Although, I feel 1 thing is true: FENIX is a bit fishy. First of all, the name having some connection to Foundation X is apparent. Secondly, that scene in the intro which features a FENIX lab with Riders in tubes. Thirdly, there is the connection between the Deadmans and FENIX. Also, isn't it a bit weird that George is so interested in Kamen Riders? I mean, after it was basically confirmed that Kamen Rider isn't a show in that universe, unlike what the early rumors said, it is mysterious that George would know so much about Kamen Riders, even shown holding a figure of Kamen Rider 1. Especially since we have seen that they exist in the same world as Saber, which had a Humagear, therefore connecting it to the world of Zero-One, which, through the crossover with Zi-O, shows that they may take place in the same universe. However, most of the time, the most the new Kamen Riders know about the previous Kamen Riders is in news articles (like near the beginning of Fourze, where they show an article from Futo about Kamen Rider Double) or in crossovers (like when Gaim was shown in the movie where the previous Riders were stolen of their powers). This doesn't really mesh with previous Rider Canon, where in this Series, the forms are based upon Kamen Riders, even though it shouldn't be possible going by the fact that in the Kamen Rider Saber Crossover, the Stamp he used was the Megalodon Vistamp, which places that episode later in the series as so far, they don't have it yet. This makes me suspicious that FENIX, at least, knows more than they are letting on. Also, consider that they want Ikki Igarashi to sign a contract with FENIX, which the letter of the contract, the actual information, could contain some (lengthen out the m) "fine print". I don't know, but FENIX seems too fishy for me.
Also, remember that in Decade, the Shockers revived into the Neo Shockers. And we haven't heard much from Foundation X ever since that movie with Build. So, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know.

I will admit that part of my reasoning is that Frieza is based on a real estate agent.

Though, let's say that there was a meeting of the main Riders from each series. They introduce the new Rider, and their first reactions are "wait, there are two of them."
Ghost: I heard your series is ending.
Saber: Yeah, I wonder what the new Rider is like.
*In comes Revi and Vice*
Drive: Uhh, this is only a meeting of Primary Riders. You brought in a Secondary Rider.
Revi: We ARE the primary Rider.
Vice: Yeah, we are together.
Fourze: So, what is the situation like?
Revi: I am Revi.
Vice: I am Vice.
Revi: And together we are
Revi and Vice: Kamen Rider Revice.
The Riders: Huh?
Revi: Our situation is sort of reverse of Double's Situation. Instead of being Two in One, it's One in Two.
Ex-Aid: Sort of like my Mighty Brothers XX.
Revi: A bit like that.
Vice: But I'm a Demon that resides inside Ikki's Body.
Ghost: Wait, Demon?
Den-O: So, sort of similar to me.
Revi: Yeah. So it's sort of a cross between Den-O's Imagin and a reverse of Double.
OOO: Okay, so what is your collectable Transformation Device?
Revi: They are called "Vistamps".
OOO: Oh, named after Vice?
Vice: Likely that's true in the production, but in fiction, it's a total coincidence.
Fourze: What are you talking about?
Revi: Yeah, he talks to things that don't exist.
Wizard: What are these "Vistamps" based upon?
Revi: They are a cross between Extinct Creatures, which you can see as our main form is based upon a T-Rex
Vice: And you guys.
All Riders: WHAT?
Revi: Yeah, we are an anniversary season, but unlike Decade or Zi-O, the forms aren't directly based upon you guys, but they are based upon them.
Kuuga: So, what Vistamps have been confirmed and who are they based upon?
Faiz: I'd prefer if you told us which of us have a Vistamp based upon them before.
Revi: Okay, so we have the Vistamps based upon Kuuga, Faiz, Den-O, Decade, Double, Fourze, Gaim, Ex-Aid, and Zi-O,
Vice: with one that hasn't really appeared in the show yet based upon 1.
Kabuto: Okay, so what are they based upon?
Revi: So, Double got the Eagle Vistamp, Den-O got the Mammoth Vistamp, Decade got the Megalodon, Faiz got the Ptera Vistamp, Kuuga got the Lion Vistamp, Ex-Aid got the Jackal Vistamp, Fourze got the Kong Vistamp, Gaim got the Kamakiri Vistamp, Zi-O got the Brachio Vistamp, and 1 got the Batta Vistamp.
Zero-One: So, I get the 1 Batta Vistamp, but why the others?
Revi: Mostly aesthetic Reasons.
Vice: We also have this interesting ability to make "Remix" Forms, which combine us into the animal this form are based upon.
Saber: Why don't we go to the Form Showoff Room?
Revice: Where is that?
Kiva: It's where we show off our forms? It's large enough to show off mech Forms, so you could show off your Remix Forms.
Revi: Yeah, let's go.

This is sort of a mini-fanfiction piece. Not sure if this would be their reactions, but I don't know.

I feel like they'd be asked to show a sample of the forms they've used. Some of the Showa Riders get to know that these new kids are getting it out of their system, and Heisei Riders get to compare forms with the Reiwa Riders, who take the opportunity to hang out as a smaller group after the larger gathering and introduction.

Also, imagine Decade's reaction to Megalodon Genome, or what Faiz would say when witnessing Ptera Genome.

Which extinct bat do you all think Evil is based off of?

Desmodus draculae?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodus_draculae

This person shown the Transformation Announcement for the Lion Genome.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuI5GmcBTWk
And according to the Wiki, the Transformation announcement says "Mitete Kudasai! Ore No Otakebi!", meaning "Please observe it! My roar!".
This references Yusuke Godai's Catchhphrase, "So please, watch... my transformation!" That's how they took a reference from Kuuga and made it work for a Lion.

And I LOVE IT! There's a fair few other phrases they could have chosen, some from the OP would have worked; but this might just be my favourite one they could have used. Love it

If I'm bet on the arcs of Revice, Arc 1 will be all about Ikki, Arc 2 with Vice as the protagonist being that both he and Ikki will have their roles reversed & the final arc will be on both of them when possible they combine into the true Revice.

If I'm to bet on what Vistamps will be for the other Heisei riders after the first ones....

• Agito: Moose Genome
• Ryuki: Salamander Genome
• Blade/Glaive: Cassowary Genome
• Hibiki: Spider Genome
• Kabuto/Dark Kabuto: Whale Genome
• Kiva/Dark Kiva: Smilodon Genome
• OOO: Macaw Genome
• Wizard/Wiseman: Owl Genome
• Drive/Dark or Gold Drive: Snake Genome
• Ghost/Dark Ghost: Coelacanth Genome
• Build/Evol: Kuwagata Genome
• Zero-One/Ark-Zero: Giraffe Genome
• Saber/Calibur: Swordfish Genome

Touma's plush has red eyes to signify Saber
Ikki's plush has pink eyes to signify Revi

So, yeah, this plush of Daiji pretty much 90% confirms for us who Evil is.

https://img.amiami.com/images/produc...S-04159564.jpg

I'm gonna hop onto the 10% and ask what his motive would be. He's already a part of FENIX for the purpose of fighting Deadmans, so he isn't gonna sabotage his brother's efforts just out of jealousy that he got to be a Rider first. It's possible, but what's the reason he'd have in character for being Evil?

Becoming a rider I can see why. But since we see Evil fighting with Revi in the preview for tomorrow, yeah I don't know if that's Daiji right off the bat (pun intended).

Maybe Evil will be someone else for a few eps (Hiromi) but will fail miserably (again) and the belt is definitively passed on to Daiji.

Something tells me that this will be a strange case of a Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. Besides Japanime, I also think that it will be a Doctor Jekyll/Mister Hyde sort of situation. Hiromi Kadota appears to have the most likely motivations for becoming EviL/LivE. The largest situation of them all, Hiromi was demoted from Commander to Captain after trying to use the Revice Driver, even though it was designed for Daiji, and caused the Rex Deadman to come out. That would be a major motivation if I ever saw one. Also, note that he hasn't really appeared since episode 2. And that the keycard used to access the Driver was Hiromi's Card.

I've seen a lot of "Jekyll and Hyde" theories, and I can't help but wonder what people latched onto for that.

Remember Bakura from Yugioh?

Well we know from episode 1 that Daiji was scared to transform into Revice, possibly out of fear of letting his inner demon out and potentially hurting someone.

So perhaps Kamen Rider Evil is that, except instead of Revice where Ikki and Vice are split into two separate Riders, we have more of a Den-O situation going on where the inner demon runs the show until Daiji regains control (which would be represented by the other form depicted on Evil's belt).

I mean, Ikki and Daiji are basically polar opposites in the sense that one charges in without thinking and the other overthinks to the point of hesitation. So it makes sense that their Rider powers would manifest in opposite ways, where one is a 1-in-2 Rider and the other is a 2-in-1 rider.

If that's the case, maybe Evil's face opens up for Live.

Also, since it's Live and Evil, does that mean that the 'full name' is Livevil like how Revi and Vice is Revice?

It would certainly be interesting for Evil to need to turn into Live, but I can't shake the feeling that we need more information before we'll get accurate in our speculation.

Is Bakura from Yugioh a character in Kamen Rider Revice?

I believe they were referencing Bakura for your Jekyll/Hyde reference.

Okay, but I was asking about evidence from Kamen Rider Revice

I should've been clearer before.

Closest thing are the Imagins from Den-O replacing their host's personality with their own.

Today I learned that Vice might be based on Riderman

Swordriver has sounds for a kyoryu combo. Revice books?

Iiiiii~nteresting...

Also, frankly insulted that the video doesn't show what happens when you insert two 'books' instead; it's just one and three books. Also, what are those things? Magnets?

Is it possible to just take out the chip or whatever out of these toys and upload their contents onto a computer to see everything that's in them?

Probably not. If it were that easy, I would have grabbed the voice lines they provided for the P-Bandai Rekka on the website and then played around with it. When I downloaded it, it wasn't a simple .mp3 or .ogg

So you tried? Out of curiosity, what kind of file was it?

It's a r.20 file, idk what's it about.

Maybe try looking for programs that can open r.20 files. I don't know what it's about but a quick search shows me that there's a lot of programs that can open those things, most of them Windows only.

Is this file taken from the Swordriver?

It's the one I took from the website. Assuming I read correctly, you're supposed to just put this in the Rekka SD Card.

Apparently, WavePad for Windows might have the ability to open up r.20 Files.
Otherwise, I wonder whether someone could take the Seiken Swordriver, dismantle it, take out the chips, and figure out cut content from them. Extraction of files from the Seiken Swordriver, crossed with using WavePad, could be able to find sounds directly from the Driver.

I think one of the more interesting implications of the events of Kamen Rider Saber is that now it's somewhat more plausible for there to be a KAMENRIDE: SLASH card and an ATTACK RIDE: BLADE card. The Punnett square is complete.

This is Evil's Henshin Sound.
Can someone help figure out what it says?

I don’t know

"Versus Up! Bat! Hehe! Kamen Rider Evil! Yeah-haha!"

Ah I was dead wrong about the weapon gimmick. Just from the initial scans, I figured it'd have a gun mode, but it does make way more sense that because Evil transforms with the weapon, it would have a standby mode.

There's something real charming about the fact the Vistamp says "Bat" like "Battou", and the transformation functionally being similar to the Swordriver.

So it's part Bat Rogue and part Necrom. I shall call it... Kamen Rider Batrom. :lolol

Actually I think you might still be right about the gun mode. Based on the scans, there definitely seems to be a swivel joint near the base of the blade that can rotate it 180 degrees:

What's more, in the full body shots of the scans. We see there's definitely something going on with the other side of the blade:

hum...
that's an... interesting fashion.
If that's his own devil making him like this, it must be the king of edginess
