Hmm, gonna say that since Horobi and Jin have normal animals taken, that Ikazuchi and Naki take the extinct animals to balance them out, so maybe a Dire Wolf?

im so spoiled by the fan art of naki just being force rised assault wolf im weirdly dissapointed its something.....unique lol
imma sucker for the ooo claws but they dont look cool with that helmet so ehh

Is it just me, or is Naki's "collar" piece reused from Type-1? Anyway, I'm excited they're getting a Rider form too, it definitely looks like their progrise key is some kind of wold. Although it would be funny if it was a wolverine instead.

Funny you should say that... There's been a potential leak..

When are the next scans?

Sometimes you gotta just enjoy the present instead of always wanting a peek of what's coming after!

When the final battle between Zero-Two and Thouser comes, it better be like Ex-Aid Muteki & Para-DX with a touch of Faiz Blaster vs Horse Orphnoch.

Have Zero-Two beat up Thouser after their rider kicks. And Zero-Two using the Thousand Jacker against Thouser as a means of killing for all he’s done. But reluctantly spares him to the authorities.

You know how I've been saying for weeks that all I want from 01 is Naki to use Assault Wolf or something? This is better than that. Thanks Toei, do what you want with the rest of the show, I'm satisfied.

I called it! The claws were unexpected but cool. I think her suit design really works with the motif.

I guess the only problem now is that with all 4 hax0rs as Riders, Ikazuchi and Jin are the same color and I wouldn't want Jin to go back to Flying since 1) it doesn't belong to him, 2) Burning looks more intimidating.

I hope Horobi gets a final form, or y'know, a form. He needs one the most.

He's hardly been lacking in power or competence, what with being on even footing with Thouser and continuing to maintain his threatening presence.

Now if there's someone in need of more relevance, which a new form would help with nicely, that'd be Valkyrie...

She uses the lower legs from 001 which I think were reused from Night Rogue.

Yeah but Thouzer's basically a joke now. Everybody's beating him up, his public image is being tainted by the hijacked ZAIASpecs and he thinks ripping off Kamen Rider Chronicle and making civilians Horseshoe Crab Raiders to deal with them is a viable solution. As a company president with a legal responsibility for the safety of his clients, he should discontinue the product until it's fixed and focus on a more ethical way to make money but of course that's not going to happen, this is Gai.

If Horobi turns on the Ark, he's going to need a power-up to match the other heroic Riders in more than skill and I actually just want him to get a new form anyway, even though his default is still totally cool and effective. I'm not going to disagree that a new form for Valkyrie would be appreciated but I'm cool with Lightning Hornet and I think maybe Bandai would want to prioritize a more profitable male Rider.

At this point I'm scared we won't see a new Valkyrie form till a Vulcan and or Valkyrie V-Cinema.

My current guess is that she'll get a Fighting Jackal form (as in a proper rider form in the shotriser, but probably still just a kitbash from the Jackal Raider) right towards the end of the series, and then an actual upgrade in a V-Cinema. Based on how upgrades sometimes "cascade" down primary-secondary-tertiary riders, I'd hope for it to be based on Assault Wolf / Shining Assault Hopper, though maybe with a differently coloured version of the Assault Grip.

As for Naki, my best guess is they're either using a totally new key or they're using Neohi. It's a white zetsumerise key, and the claws (especially with those blue tubes running down them) could just about be passed off as tentacles. Maybe. Regardless, I'm incredibly glad they're getting a form at all - I was very worried they wouldn't (plus, getting a female 3rd rider and the series' first nonbinary rider in the same show? Toei is really heading in the right direction).

Also quick crackpot theory: Ark's gonna force itself onto Izu and make her the true final boss.

I wonder if Subaru can get through to Ikazuchi that he's still his brother regardless of being a member of MetsubouJinrai.net?

Hope Subaru can keep the Dodo key as a keepsake.

That would be great, since with Naki getting a Rider form, Izu is really the only major character left who doesn't have one.

There's word and images floating around that Ark Zero form changes...

It's called Ark one.

ohhhh ark one vs zero two....huh, zero two makes alot more sense now.
coolsauce
imma black on white kinda guy myself but i can appreciate white over black too.
oooo

Right, that will definitely be what that malice learning progrise key will be for, right.

It's actually acquired by flipping the panel over.

I love how menacing both forms look for Ark and the whole Yin-Yang vibe, but I dislike how similar they look to Zero-One. feels very kitbash-y.

STAR! POWER!
I guess Thouser is going to invent Hyper Muteki.

Hey, the Ark learned to count.

Maybe you flip it after inserting the key?...

Hmm.. So Ark Zero will be the final boss? I guess that's fine but I was honestly hoping that the final boss isn't gonna be another dark rider, possibly an Ark magia of sorts... I dunno I just find kaijin type final bosses cooler I guess

It says "STAB" and "POWER".

Found a guy who found this:http://http://www.tokunation.com/att...1&d=1593434854 So I guess I was right. It does open when the key is inserted.

Yeah, that was me. I was just doing my usual looking through scans through zooming in thing and I noticed it.

Oh! My bad. Taddle Legacy then...

Nice work, I probably wouldn’t have ever noticed that. I wonder what the actual key is called, since the rider website had ???.

I'd imagine it'll maybe be called the Ark-One Progrise Key. There's no obvious animal attached to the design so it wouldn't make sense for it to be named after one.

Zero-Two.... Ark-One...... This makes me think maybe they'll do a V3 homage Rider in a movie or something. Zaia-Three? Lol.

Ark-One?

More like BLACK HOLE! BLACK HOLE!! BLACK HOLE!! REVOLUUUTION!!!

pretty much

I'll be honest I can't see it other than them just putting white on him?

Tbh I got more reminded of a Grimm from RWBY almost immediately than I did with the Evolt comparison.

sweet zombie lesbians he does look like a grim....wheres my barely trained high school girls to devalue his threatening nature entirely lol

Anybody else getting a “gord” drive feel from him? Obviously not in aesthetics but in characterization?

Do I need to look at your search history?

Oddly enough, seeing Ark-1 makes actually me feel like Ark-0 should've been uglier.

I'm assuming the idea behind the two Ark forms is supposed to be like he's all monstrous and incomplete in the first form and turns into a sleek and more refined second form. But Ark-0 is really only "ugly" in the head, shoulders, and torso:
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20200628003817

So with Ark-1, he's essentially going from a evil asymmetric version of Zero-One into a evil somewhat less asymmetric version of Zero-One. Admittedly it's still a drastic change between the two forms, but I feel like the change would've had more impact if they hadn't made Ark-0's suit so clean from the waist down.
