I only saw his stock footage transformation on his demo video. I don't think they actually used it in-show.

I think what's more plausible was that his suit looked like there was lass effort put into it than the other riders. That might not on-purpose, but I always assumed he looked like that because either:

A. Easier to move in for Fujita to use with. I kinda like to think this was the same case for Valkyrie's lack of upgrades was so that they didn't have to get into the trouble of making an upgrade for Valkyrie that both looked like and improvement and easier to move in.

B. Ren was going to get another base form down the line anyway, so why bother doing any effort on the first one. Ren's behavior last week's episode makes me hope he's getting one micchy-style.

It’ll only be a matter of time until Ren becomes a Megid like Desast himself.

How many episodes will end the conflict between swordsmen?

It'll either stop shortly after the Yeti is defeated or at least 5 more episodes from now.

We seem to be on the right track with Daishinji taking matters into his own hands this coming episode.

Anybody have a feeling Slash will probably be killed while his sword still remains?

I hate to see that happen.

EDIT: Plus the south better give us new swordsmen & swordswomen!!!!

I personally think Reika is so stupid.
Why? Because she didn't trying to capture Touma.
If she want Kaenken Rekka, why she didn't trying to capture Touma just like how Sophia are being captured by Southern Base?

Because, if we're to believe the smoke is Reika's doing, unlike the Kurayami and Sophia, Touma isn't as defenseless.

That's what she's been trying to do these past two episodes. Use Northern Base to bring in Touma, Rekka, and Saikou.

Plus given it seems like only the swords are important for whatever purposes everyone wants to use them for, it makes sense.

She's playing a slight long con because really, the further this conflict spirals and goes on, there's a good chance that everyone may end up just killing each other and then boom, easy to take the swords with little resistance.

Well I've finally caught up to the show after stopping at episode 5. And I have to say, I'm actually enjoying it more than I thought I would, with episode 15 being my favourite. It's not perfect, like everyone said the pacing isn't the best, and from the current arc, there's probably going to be some misunderstandings, but it's keeping me engaged, more so than Zero One, especially around this point where it had the competition arc where I just wanted to quit the show, at least there's a plot going on.

We also don't know for sure if that smoke actually was her.

Probably Tassel. :lolol

Some leaks regarding the next episodes after this week. Might confirm my suspicions on Ren becoming Espada, too.

Episode 20
Air Date - January 31

Touma Kamiyama (Kamen Rider Saber) takes the help of Yuuri (Kamen Rider Saikou) to separate the Alter Book from a High School boy who has been turned into a Megid.

Touma is now walking in the town and sees his reflection in the store window. He is reminded of Tetsuo Daishinji / Kamen Rider Slash's Sword style. In that moment the King Megid appears before him. That's not all! Ren Akamichi (Kamen Rider Kenzan) arrives to get back Kento Fukamiya / Kamen Rider Espada's Raimei-Ken Ikazuchi from Touma.

Episode 21
Air Date - February 7

Yuuri (Kamen Rider Saikou) and Mei Sudo help Souji (King Megid) to ask out a girl he admires. Not realizing the girl he admires is Mei.

Touma Kamiyama (Kamen Rider Saber) and Ren Akamichi (Kamen Rider Kenzan) search for a way to escape the King Megid’s dream world. Ren states that he will carry on the legacy of Kamen Rider Espada and wields the Raimei-Ken Ikazuchi for the first time! But then Desast arrives to take the sword for himself.

Do you think that Lamp do Sarutobi will appear in the show?

I know it's a stupid thought but while reading Ep21 leak and that Desast was after Espadas's sword, I got the idea that Reika was Desast for a few seconds.

I'm sure I'm wrong and she's not, but I don't know. She's searching swords as well (I know she's after Kurayami and Saikou, not Ikazuchi but still).

She had Tri Cerberos in hand (and gave it to Kento) and this made me remember that Desast actually had Storm Eagle when he appeared. Why did he have it anyway ? I don't remember if that was explained or no (I guess it's probably Kamijo giving him but I think we never saw that).

We never actually saw it, but it's implied to have happened, now that we know Kamijo was the previous Saber.

Actually, looking back on the earlier eps, this now explains how Kamijo randomly used Saiyuu Journey during the Medusa episode. He's the previous Saber, and he only gave Touma the Brave Dragon book, of course he's gonna have the other books from the Wonder Combo.

Oh, that's actually really cool foreshadowing! Thank you for pointing that out

... you know with the episode descriptions I sorta just realized...

Are... are we actually doing three parters?

Like with the Yeti Megid, that was mostly a stinger at the end of a transition episode and then the next two were a proper two parter. But it's looking like the King Megid two-parter is actually a three-parter!

So there are two swords that have yet to be revealed, not counting Kyomu.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that the silhouette next to Rekka is Kyomu.

yeah actually saw this on Twitter

The one at the bottom has the handle of a Rapier but the blade looks like something Yun Seung from Soulcalibur would use.

The one in the middle looks Master Sword-ish

A cutlass, huh.

Cut
Lass


Oh no, female rider!

Oh my. I knew I remembered that word from somewhere. Skies of Arcadia.
Kamen Rider Pirate confirmed :'D

Potential Saber leaks. Quite a small amount this quarter, it seems. Though, it might be because most of the toys will go on the premium bandai market. Probably the new Megid ARBs, and whatever Espada/Calibur's new toys would be.

Saikou is obviously the golden form he has on his WRB and the book he's obsessing with, but what about Saber? The emblem I'm curious about. Is it just a new emblem to go on his existing Rekka, or will it be an entirely new sword for Touma to dual wield?

DX SwordXMan Wonder Ridebook
DX Seiken SaikouDriver / SwordXMan Wonder Ridebook Set
DX Surasshu Hoshi Emblem / Dragon of the Stars Wonder Ridebook

RKF07 Kamen Rider Saikou

Whoops, duplicate.

Assuming these leaks are true, I expect the Surasshu Hoshi Emblem will just be a replacement for the Flame Emblem on Rekka. Remember the Water and Lightning Emblem sets for Blades and Espada didn't come with their own swords either, just the emblem and the RideBook.

On a separate note, I actually find "Dragon of the Stars" to be a very cute name for the RideBook (again, assuming these leaks are true). I'm guessing the RideBook/Emblem come from Touma somehow obtaining the Kuroyami and then combining it with Saikou and Rekka, resulting in a emblem and ridebook where:

• Rekka is represented by a dragon (obviously)
• Saikou is represented by the stars
• Kuroyami is represented by the night sky

This also possibly means the from Touma gets from DotS book might actually be Red, White, and Black like the Brave Dragon form (Oh my god, what if it's just the Emotion Dragon form from the movie with a few new bits taped onto it?).

Yes, I'm aware that it's just a new emblem for the Swordriver. I was talking about it story-wise. Would it be a straight upgrade for Rekka, or is it a new holy blade for Touma to wield?

As for "Dragon Of The Stars", yes it does feel likely the form is through Saikou and Kurayami. Reika specifically needs Saber and Saikou and likely has Kurayami in possession, and Yuri remarks that Touma is fated to obtain great power.

I highly doubt that Dragon Stars Gonna call it that now is an updated Emotional Dragon, but I do expect bits of that suit to show up somewhere. Saber's upgrades all have to be entirely new.

Is there a source for these? I’m kinda doubting these are true, seeing as neither of the two unknown swords shown last episode appear to be the kind you could sheathe in the SworDriver or BlaDriver, thus meaning that that emblem, if it’s real, can’t represent one of the base Holy Swords. Not to mention that Surasshu...is just Slash. It’d make no sense for Daishinji to get a dragon power up when he’s never been linked to them, nor does it make sense for an upgrade for Touma to be named after Slash.
The Sword X-Man book also feels like someone saw the most recent episode and thought it’d be a safe bet...though I do think Saikou’s getting a proper Rider form sooner rather than later.

Besides...didn’t we already hear that we were getting a new Rider before the Third Quarter starts in earnest?

That said, ‘Dragon of the Stars’ is a fantastic-sounding name, so I’d love to be wrong.

I guess they're true.

oh hey Wizard Infinity :D

About time shadow. Maybe he seperate himself from the sword.

Seems like people are speculating this is "KR Flint"
or something.
Because on the toylist someone indicated last page, there is a "primitive Dragon" wonderide book that appeared in the list.

So yeah. "flint". "prehistoric tool". "primitive" I can see the idea.

But it really look like Saber to me.

Yeah, especially since only Saber has his eyes in a criss-cross.

Wait, did someone AI upscale the picture? Because if yes, that is awesome!

Probably, since a proper scan wouldn't look so wobbly.

Two things I find interesting with Saber's Dragon Star/Primitive Dragon form.

1. The dragon shoulder/s are now inwards which is neat design.

2. The suit design looks spikier than previous suits. Would this be a berserker form?

That's definitely a Saber upgrade. After all, the hottest possible color for organic material is actually white. In other words, white flames are hotter than all other colors of flames. I really love the idea of Saikou getting his upgrade based off of something he's only interacted with in the real world. At the end of the day, he's this otherworldly being and there isn't a sillier way to ground him.

Looking at the toy listings, RKF Saikou is listed as 4180 yen, so we're definitely getting a form changing gimmick. Wonder if RKF Primitive Dragon will have any gimmicks.

What if Primitive dragon is in the saikou set? The only RKF on the leak is Saikou, am i wrong?

Uh guys, that looks like some kind of watercolor painting. Doesn't look very realistic to me.
