Foreshadowing? :P

I'd rather say Dragonball Super hype xD

I have a theory for Necrom. I know he's probably going to be Jabel, Aran, or Adel, but this could happen. When the Necrom eyecon is in the Ghost Driver, it says, "Here we go! Kakugo! Nottori Ghost!" Nottori means hijack, so you can translate Nottori Ghost to Hijacking Ghost. I was thinking maybe Necrom has no exact identity and the Necrom Parka Ghost was created by the Ganma to "hijack" a body and turn them into a puppet to become Necrom. It also explains why Necrom's identity was not revealed in January's magazine scans.

It could also be referring to Makoto hijacking the Necrom Eyecon for his own uses.

Fusion?!

Well there is an "Ore Specter" sound in the driver, I think.

So similar to Odin in Kamen Rider Ryuki? That would be interesting to see...

Exactly.

Don't know if we talked about this, but I feel like Gramps is the king of the Ganma. You know, the one who ruled over them and it actually kinda worked out, but his oldest son rebelled and cast him out and now he's doing his evil shenanigans while Gramps is mad.

So Gramps gets himself some Kamen Riders to help.

Like:

Step 1: Get dead people to transform and chase after the Eyecons
Step 2: ???
Step 3: I'm king again!

I had... SORT OF a similar theory a page or so ago, I think. Yeah, if nothing else he's definitely got a connection of some kind to the Ganma royalty.

Wonder when they'll put up a female Ganma to join in? Since Aran, his brother and Javelle.

If the Houdini Parka Ghost is inside the Machine Hoodie, then what's the purpose of the eyecon? If the eyecon doesn't contain the Parka Ghost, then can't he access the form without the eyecon?

The Eyecons are linked to the Ghosts. And Makoto already had the Houdini Eyecon from the very beginning so I'm not really sure what you are getting at with your question.

The Parka Ghosts come from a sealed item. After the item is unsealed, they enter the Ghost Driver and create the Ghost Eyecon which houses them. If Houdini is inside the bike then is the eyecon empty? I guess the eyecon can activate the finisher, but it doesn't contain the Parka Ghost.

The Ghosts are not sealed inside items- where did you get that from? The Parka Ghost sleep inside their host and when they are released, they enter the Eyecons.
The items that were connected to the hosts were mostly stuff used by the Ganma trying to lure the Ghost out by killing the host.

What? Where was it ever said the soul is inside the host? Helios is more accurate, but I'm not sure the word "sealed" is exactly right, (although the eye symbol Ghost draws is referred to as a seal of some kind, I believe.)
Are you sure you've been paying attention, Suzu? Because it's pretty clear the souls are dormant within an item which was close to them when they lived. To awaken their spirit, it requires any human who resonates with their goals and beliefs (or something like that.) Embracing the positive ambitions of the soul results in sparing the host. Reflecting their negative traits resonates adversely and the host is sacrificed. The biggest clue that the soul is directly related to the object, and not the host, is that when Takeru draws the eye symbol, the item is consumed and becomes the Eyecon itself.

As for the Houdini situation, I think it's a special case. Houdini's soul is probably still in the Eyecon and activating it in the Driver calls them like normal. It's just that instead of becoming a parka itself, the soul manifests into the bike and turns THAT into its "phyiscal" form.

The current episode, for example? Ryoma was clearly residing inside the hosts body and not an item.

But only AFTER he had already become an Eyecon. Did you miss when the host found Ryoma's completed Eyecon in a bush and it possessed him just as a standard Ganma Eyecon could? The events that happened in these last episodes have nothing to do with the Eyecon summoning process, and more to do with unrelated possession after the fact.

Well, my mistake then. Nonetheless, the spirits are not sealed inside items- or at least not necessarily. My best example is sadly one most people haven't seen yet. In Movie Taisen Genesis, Da Vinci is not sealed inside his works, he does need the host to be freed, which is why the Ganma to use his eyecon kidnaps the host (saying who it is would be a massive spoiler, but that's what happens).

And it was never said that Houdini is sealed in the Bike. As far as we know Hiudini IS the Bike. Makoto just cant use its Parka Mode.

Yeah, that's why I said I didn't think "sealed" was the right word. They're just kind of dormant within the items until awoken by a Ganma or someone who has a driver.

We'll probably figure out how it all works next week. If not? It probably doesn't matter anyway. Its clear Houdini works under different rules than a standard parka regardless of how explicit the explanation is.

This was taken during filming for Ghost. Could it be Grateful? A movie form for the new Ichigo movie? Or is it just Toucon Boost fighting a Ganma?

I think it's Boost fighting a Gamma.

So yeah. Aran is Necrom.

That sucks. I was hoping for Necrom to be someone different like Adel of Javel. Maybe even a new character.

YESS!!!!!

Well at the very least Necrom's going to be a Villain Rider, I wonder what direction they'll go now that Alan will be a Rider?

Also I must say, I enjoy his new clothes, it really makes him feel more villainous and in charge than before.

Well I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Am more interested in his new duds. Wonder what prompts the switch to more formal attire. Him being Necrom raises even more questions about Makoto eventually using the Eyecon...

So Aran will be rivals with Makoto and not Takeru?

Well, Makoto has more connections to the Ganma world to begin with and the two were friends (or whatever) so probably the conflict between the two will be the main thing, but Alan has already shown he is plenty unhappy about Takeru as well. No reason it can't be both, really.

Man, he looks slick in that royal outfit. Can't wait to see Necrom in action.

I believe that the phrase that got uncovered from the Driver was Hijacking Ghost? So maybe Alan uses the Eyecon to control Makoto or something of that sort? Because it makes me think we're going to have a similar situation like Mach's from the last series.

Takeru is wearing a monk-like clothes, Makoto is wearing a leather jacket and Alan is NOW wearing Royal-Type uniform

They did states that Aran's reason of becoming Necrom is that his father don't care about him and his older brother treat him like garbage

He may start out as a villain rider but eventually he might get a redemption and possibly reconcile with Makoto for the trouble he causing

I just have a feeling

I'm still wondering where is this gonna lead, Takeru has to get Grimm and Zanso from him to get Grateful and Makoto we know will get his hands on Necrom. That means he's got to loose all his eyecons at some point.

From The Ghouly News:

"Kamen Rider Necrom has the ability to defend against/disable enemy attacks using liquefaction. This liquid power can be consumed and used in a surprising way in combat. What is the source of this ability?

Fiery red-stained clouds with variants of giant organisms. Gundari fly around the skies, circling huge structures and 15 towers. The Ganma World is clearly different from the world we live in but the mysteries behind it will gradually become clearer. Alan and his older brother Adel may be the Emperor’s sons but they both have different plans from each other.

Takeru, trying his best to listen to the Heroes, is transported into Musashi’s Eyecon where he meets the Parka Ghost: a black body clad in the Musashi Parka. The second part of Ghost’s story continues as Takeru and the Heroes connect."

Very interesting. Wonder if the 15 towers directly relate to the 15 Eyecons in any way? Also can't wait to see where this "connection" plot leads... Besides Grateful, of course.

What's Aran's real name?

Aran.

:lol

No, it's Samus and he's actually a woman! ;)

It took me literally an hour to get that joke :lol
