I kind of like the rumor, but what tells me it's fake is the presence of the Evol Ridewatch. The only time I can remember a gashapon becoming DX was the Orange/Wizard Fullbottles, but those weren't even a part of the in-show bottles. I can't imagine why they would make SG Ridewatches of Regular Evol and Black Hole if they'd make a DX later.

Are they true or false?

Just rumors. We haven't gotten any DX listings or scans yet.

Two of my favourite card wielding Riders in the same shot.

I am gonna assume either the Kikai episodes or the Ryuki special that will be out after Shinobi.

Well we have true ones, Woz Ginga and Grand Zi-O. We'll have to wait for scans to see what they look like though

Possible 3rd quarter toy listings from Crane Joe, seems to suggest that Woz is due for an upgrade in the near future.

We should be getting scans in the next few days, so do take this with a grain of salt.

That's all? That's bizarre...

You know what, it's probably because they already pushed the final form watches, you want to give people a little breathing time as Q1 and Q2 were pretty stacked

If that's so, then it almost coincides with the rumors that started popping up.

Oh shit, so there's gonna be a Zi-O Trinity which fuses them all and Grand will be themed after a Buddhist altar. I NEED to see this, that sounds TOO ridiculous

Bandai don't do that, though. Look at Build, and Ex-Aid. Ex-Aid's Quarter 3 gave us the Parablay Gun, the Buggle Driver Zwei+Kamen Rider Chronicle, Tokimeki Crisis, and Hyper Muteki...and Build gave us HachiMarine, SaiDryer, BatEngine, the Evol Driver, Evol Dragon+Evol Rabbit, Cross-Z Magma, and Build Genius.

Build and Ex-Aid both also had really packed 1st and 2nd Quarters too - Build especially.

This is the smallest final push for a Rider show since Ghost, which only gave us Mugen, Deep Spectre, and the Deep Slasher.

Since Build didn't get anything for Quarter 4, which is almost always for movie-exclusive stuff (the only exception I can ever recall is Brave Legacy being in Ex-Aid's), I wonder if Zi-O will.

So, is there going to be a Kamen Rider Ginga then? (flashbacks to Ultraman Ginga)

No, it's the 'Woz Ginga Miridewatch', not the 'Ginga Miridewatch for Woz'. Like Geiz Revive - it isn't based on a Rider, but is a standalone form for Woz.

...I stand corrected, re: Ginga.
Although that begs the question of why is it called the 'Woz Ginga Miridewatch', when the others are just 'Shinobi Miridewatch'.

By rider you mean the 19 previous Heiseis, correct?

Chaos Entity is talking about Woz Ginga so no

Am I crazy in thinking Zi-O Trinity looks far better than Grand Zi-O?

Nope, Zi-O Trinity makes clever use of the fusion idea and the katakana gimmick while the Ridewatch itself is pretty unique, especially with the image of the 3 Riders and Zi-O on the throne. Grand is something we've seen before and incredibly gaudy, which isn't for everyone

It really all depends on whether you find being covered in gold statues ridiculous in a charming or unpleasant way.

So Zi-O Trinity is Zi-O's Climax Form and Grand Zi-O is Zi-O's King Form/Grateful Damashii pretty much.
Zi-O Trinity is alright, love the CMYK color palette they got going(Cyan for Woz, Magenta for Zi-O, Yellow for Geiz, and then the suit's base color being Black). Also like how the watch strap part on the helmet reminds me of Kamen Rider ZO a bit. I think it will look better in live-action as most of these tend to do so looking forward to it.
Grand Zi-O looks great and a nice nod to Blade King From mostly and also a bit of Ghost Grateful Damashii.
Also, judging by how Kuuga, Kiva, Decade, W, OOO, Fourze, Ex-Aid, Build, and Zi-O is positioned on the flyer scan, I guess the heisei rider engravings on the armor will most likely be in this order.

Kamen Rider Kikai actor revealed

Just stumbled across this. So we basically have Kamen Rider Kikaider.

Also so much denim, I love it.

Kamen Rider Kikai is Rento Makina. He... loves to cosplay as Jiro from Kikaider because trivia. :lolol
For those still wondering who the actor is, he was the ice-eating gangler Zamigo in LvsP.

Oh haha Toei. I wasn't actually expecting this LOL. But he's a Super Sentai actor as well, though...

Now I want a secondary Rider called Kamen Rider Hakai.

What I found funny since you brought up the Hakai bit is that Kikai's color scheme to an extent is close to Hakaider's with the primary black and yellow/gold parts with bits of red. But mostly feels a lot like Gold Drive. :lolol

The full suit actually looks amazing for just being a repaint with a new helmet, really wish we got this as the design for the Guardians in Build.

Looks like a rejected Build design.

The suit is a modified Guardians suit after all.

Zi-O Grand is so silly but it works.

Trinity on the other hand...

Huh...Isn't Kikai like technically the first base cyborg rider we've gotten in Heisei?

Feels like an obvious throwback to how most of the first Showas were augmented humans.

Plus the clothes and shit match up incredibly well with Kikaider's civilian look from the original series so it's definitely a call back

It has happened a couple of times recently, although mostly movies or secondary characters - see Rider 3 and Rider 4 or Mad Rogue from Build.

So Kikai the Rider is being played by Kikaider......



And Toei is having way too much fun with this

Man this fandom can be extremely oblivious sometimes.

For context, this person is asking Zi-O's producer about Trinity form. Trinity was only leaked via catalog scans and isn't widely known currently.

Honestly this is INCREDIBLY embarrassing and someone WILL get fired for this regardless of what happens next. Though imagine if those idiots were just talking about Agito Trinity, that'd be hilarious.

Another Zi-O!!!!

Edit:

Tsukasa as policeman (probably during Decade episode 2) and Black Woz will become Kamen Rider Woz

I think I'm more excited about Black Woz transforming than anything else. I like White Woz, but the OG Hypeman is the best.


Wonder if this is a one time thing or if something happens to White Woz though. I had a feeling Black Woz would become a Rider, but I thought that'd be later on in the series.

EDIT: Holy shit a thought just occurred to me....what if Tsukasa becomes Another Zi-O somehow?

Looks like another Zi-O uses a black driver for the Ridewatch rather than fusing with it. Very interesting
