Barid Rex is just so-so, but I'm in love with the look of Sakura's demon! I want a plush of it!

Uh oh.

I guess this confirms that demons don't see themselves as being related to one another just because their hosts are. That's if that's where it is going.

But I'm fucking loving all of this. Super great stuff. Fucking love the picture of Sakura's demon getting the shit kicked out of it.

But I hope Hiromi doesn't die, or that at the very least, Demons gets a new user.

Barid Rex just reminds me of a scaled down, more metallic, Shining Assault Hopper.

I guess the teenage female Rider getting a plushie partner checks out. It is kind of hilarious that it tries to fight like Vice and is, understandably, useless.
So Jeanne's gimmick is weapons based on Rider Kaijin?

You're suggesting that devils care about human taboos? "Family" is just a word to them.

I really hope that image is being deeply misinterpreted is all I'm gonna say. We got way more than enough of that with the Shindais last year

Agreed. Even if it is just part of the whole hedonistic devil culture, then we're still going to get culture shocked. No more Reikas!

The Peacock Vistamp is obviously a Showa Vistamp, but there aren't Peacock Kaijin in Showa at all. I think Jeanne's gimmick is just that her demon turns into weapons.

One of the scans also shows Live using the Jackal Vistamp and he just gets an Ex-Aid head. Cool, I guess.

Barid Rex looks awesome except the helmet. I wish they went with a design like a Pachycephalosaurus.

It really looks like a rabbit here.

Actually looking closely, it's hard to tell, but I think his chest coloration and design changes alongside his shoulders.

Yea Live gets completely different torso and shoulder armor.

Though, I think that Vice just thinks that Sakura's Demon looks cute. Like, how do you think he would react when it is revealed that the Inner Demon of Sakura looks like a Cute Plushy? Likely it's more of a family-type of love.
Something tells me that the series is just starting out to try and build the family up before they choose to add the Dramatic Parts. It's sort of acting like Kamen Rider Ex-Aid as it's starting out with comedic parts, however I feel like it will turn dramatic
Not so fast, FreshToku. I don't feel like they would just Kill off Hiromi just for the hell (hehe, pun not intended) of it. I don't think they would kill him off yet. First of all, his belt is Premium Bandai-exclusive. Would they really just kill off a character whose Transformation Device is a Premium Bandai Exclusive?

Now, here's a bit of a more out there theory, but maybe the Kujaku Vistamp is based upon either ZX or Black RX. I am leaning more towards Black RX because of the colors of the Vistamp. The Blue and Orange are reminiscent of Biorider's Primary Colors. Even the fans that Sakura's Demon Becomes are reminiscent of either Biorider's Bio Blade or Black RX's base Revolcane. The fact that the Demon becomes 2 Fans could be a reference to the two swords.
You could even compare how Kamen Rider Black becomes Kamen Rider Black RX with his yellow Roborider Form and Blue and Orange Biorider Form to how before a Peacock opens its tail feathers, it's mostly green, but when it shows its tail feathers, that's where the colors are.
So, my theory is that the Kujaku Vistamp is likely be based upon Biorider. Not only is it a Showa Rider, which the color of the Eco Armor (the Marble-Colored main body of the Vistamp) indicates, the color scheme is right to be based upon Biorider, the Fans recall the Revolcane and the Bio Blade, and the fact that Black RX's Base Form is a Dark Green which changed into the Blue and Orange like a Peacock opening its feathers.

That's a point in favour of his death -- Premium Bandai belts have historically been minor and/or quickly outclassed in the show; and are a limited run intended for adult collectors. The main things they'd be worried about selling are the things actually on retail shelves, the normal DX belts; that's their bread-and-butter and hence the owners of those are the ones that are unlikely to ever be killed off.

Oh that's actually super neat and way more interesting than Evil's gimmick.

lol you're so oblivious as to how this actually works

historically speaking that's what makes them sell

Sakura/Jeanne's demon's name is romanized as Rabukofu, written in Japanese as ラブコフ, which is cobra written backwards and 'fu' attached at the end. And apparently it is WEAK AS HELL. :lolol
I can picture Takeshi Kusao, Tomokazu Seki, or M.A.O voicing this character. Or maybe Tessho Genda could bust out his Gorisaki voice and make us laugh.

Toy etic sentai plush characters from 80s-90s homage

oooof Live Jackal does not look good they should have at least given him something that fits the Live aesthetic like say Agito/Petra/Blade/Kiva/OOO/Kong/Kamakiri/Build

Did anyone else think that the Kujaku Vistamp could be Biorider-based?

Biorider is a form, not its own rider so no.

Kujaku might be ZX or Riderman, the former more likely.

The Build Vistamp is Hyper Battle

https://i.imgur.com/dNfDvxX.jpg

Personally I think I prefer Live Jackal to Live Bat? Not sure yet though. I just really like the goggles!

YES YES YES BUILD FINALLY BUILD YES. Since it's an HBV I hope they do some absolute nonsense like mimicking Build's start-of-episode recaps

That's some nonsense I can get behind! Also is it just me or does the silhouette suggest that Build is Rabbit genome?

Now with an even better look at Jeanne, I love her design even more (Haven't seen the recent episode). The sleeves and legging/stockings look really good, and fit perfectly for a female Rider design, and the color scheme fits a bit better than Live.

Rabukof (Or however they decide to spell it) looks amusing, where Evil possesses Daichi, and Vice looks like a monster, this one's a plushie, and the fact that it's getting beat up by a swarm of Yunia is both hilarious and adorable. I don't think we should read too much into the quip with Vice and Rabukof, as this seems like some one-off joke with Vice making a pun out of a shortened version of our new demon's name (Rabukof-Rabu=Love). Just typical Vice nonsense.

Barid Rex looks good, nowhere near the level of Dragonic Knight, but still has a nice design. Live Jackal looks good, I like how it's more in line with Revice's Genome forms, and it fits a bit better than the bat motif.

Buld Genome is coming!

Also, Vice's Final Form is just going to be normal Vice (not Kamen Rider Vice) with some extra colors and a big Vice face crest on his chest, while Revi is just Ikki with a leather jacket and a Revice colored scarf.:lolol

Apparently it's Kangaroo!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFH-g91VQAQlHr6.jpg:large

So Toys'R'Us have Giraffes and TV-Kun has Kangaroos now? At least the silhouette works, with the ears and all.
Also, where does it say on there?

My top 3 Kamen Riders finally getting Genome representation (which is Gaim, Build and Ex-Aid in no particular order

Rabukof I think could be popular depending on how well the writers write him being incompetent but always lovable, no pun intended. :lolol
If they make it the pefect amalgamation of Deneb, Kabutack/Robotack, and Onari they got a good opportunity for merchandising for the rest of the year. :lolol

DX Barid Rex V-Stamp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGJ0TvIakeQ

Kangaroo makes me think the gimmick is going to be Revi hopping like Build with the Rabbit Fullbottle.

Maybe they'll also do it like Eagle Genome where they split the colors so Revi gets the Red and Vice gets the Blue from Build's base colors.

Huh, so it can use the powers of the 10 Main Vistamps that Revice Use. Rex, Megalodon, Eagle, Mammoth, Ptera, Lion, Jackal, Kong, Kamakiri and Brachio, when used all together, create a special sound when using all of them with it. Hmm.

Heh.

https://i.imgur.com/1d6AYiG.jpg

I think Barid Rex Vi-Stamp is quite similar to Decade Ridewatch.

I just hope the remaining Heisei rider get Vistamps too! Wonder if Vice will get upgrades too as super form? Vice needs his own driver like Eyecon Driver G.

Imagine trying to have an intense standoff with your rival or something, but the trinkets that stick two meters out from your crotch keep getting in the way.

It’s not as bad with Zero-One, as it’s just an attachment to the driver.
But Saber has it worse has the books are so large and the Swordriver isn’t big enough to house them without looking dumb.
They don’t have a desirable balance between the belt and devices that past ones do.

Barid Rex shows up in episode 13.

Looking at the Wiki for Jeanne, they made her much stronger compared to the others.
I know that Revi, Vice and maybe Live will surpass her in the coming episodes, I just find it odd for such a gap considering it’s unlikely she’s receive any upgrades.

Stats barely matter anyway. Remember Poppy being stronger than Ohma ZI-O?

To me that's more than likely the in-universe justification for why she won't receive any upgrades until later:

Producer A: "Why can't Jeanne get a new form?"
Producer B: "Um... uh... her... stats are really high so she doesn't need new forms!"

It's the exact same reason other tertiary riders like Necrom or Chaser never got upgrade forms till their v-cinemas.

In reality it won't really matter, as Rei said, a rider's official stats are almost never taken into account for.

Theorising About Kamen Rider Revice Start:
I have just realized why Vice is so different from Ikki: He represents all of the things Ikki had tried to suppress. Think about it: Ikki hasn't had much me-time since he started helping run the family bath house. He gave up on his dream of being a Soccer (Football for you non-Americans) Player to help run it. He has worked so hard to the point where even he believes he is the hardest worker in Japan. The thing is, everyone deserves a break. Especially comparing how his father barely does anything around the bath house. So, you'd think that he would want to take a break. But, he barely takes them, at least on screen. The Most of a "break" Ikki gets is being a Kamen Rider. And even then, he treats the Kamen Rider as a side-gig, to the point where he might cause more people to be harmed. As Ikki is so selfless, Vice is selfish. Vice is the exact opposite of Ikki. Plus, Vice's name, besides meaning "evil" and "secondary", also means "immoral act" and "a bad habit" (like drinking, smoking, overeating, etc), and, of course, letting your vices take control of your life can be dangerous. So, I say that's what the Berserk Form will be: Vice taking over Ikki's Body, possibly with an attachment given to him by the Deadmans. The Deadmans could convince Vice to get the attachment that attaches to the Barid Rex Vistamp to take over Ikki's Body. Now, without Ikki's Oversight, he can do whatever he wants. I think that would be a mini-arc of sorts.
Theroizing End:
Anyways, I don't think that the Build-based Hyper Battle Form will be the Kangaroo Genome. The colors are all wrong on the Vistamp. Build isn't Orange and Green, he is Red and Blue. The Build-based Vistamp has to be Red and Blue. Because the closest-possible color scheme would be HawkRessha, which isn't the basis for the form. The Form in the silhouette is based upon RabbitTank, not something that isn't even a Best Match.
Plus, the Marble-like Eco Armor for the Kangaroo Vistamp is Gray like the Showa Stamps. Not Blue like the Heisei Vistamps. So it feels impossible for the Kangaroo Vistamp to be based upon Build.
Sorry.

Has anyone realized that Lovekov has an uncanny striking resemblance to Cobrander from B-Robo Kabutack? Not just from her color scheme (also shared with Jeanne), but even for her proportions as well in a way, just without any legs and actual hands tho like he has (for now...). I discovered this after having looked at a fan art on Pixiv about a Rider Girl/Shoujo based on Jeanne where there's two little drawings where in one of them he shows up surprising the personified Jeanne, not sure if this is either intentional (based Toei) or purely coincedential in a way.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/me...-Cobrander.png https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ka...Re-Lovekov.png

This makes me think that, while initially Jeanne surely won't have an upgrade form during the main series run towards the coming months (but surely in the summer movie or V-Cinema at the very least like with Valkyrie from Zero-One), I do hope that Lovekov will somehow have some development all to herself in someway, like growing mentally and physically from what she currently is now to a fully fledged humanoid form looking similar to Vice (also referencing Cobrander's Super Mode), while also making her mentality and personality from childish (based on Sakura when she was a child) to mature and provocative ('Ara-ara' in other words), since I also discovered through TV Asahi's Revice character description that she sometimes has a sharp tongue by saying bad things occasionally (like how he dissed Vice at the end of the episode by calling him "Loser~♥"). As while I do adore her design and voice quite a lot (especially for her seiyuu being Miku Itou, so gratefully happy she finally fullfilled her dream of taking a major role in Kamen Rider for this year and the next one, eternal congrats to her), I personally feel like I don't wanna see her being used as nothing more than a mere cheap-ass punching bag for enemies to play with almost all the time, besides becoming two (or more) weapons for Jeanne that is, wouldn't that endanger Sakura more whenever she's in deep trouble and his siblings + Hiromi couldn't do nothing about it for whatever reason? (Then again, she was naturally primarily designed to be a marketable plushie for Bandai in the first place, which I'm entirely ok with as long as she'll get some development at least. Also I would be weirdly surprised if they would make her a P-Bandai item despite being a childish plush...)

P.S. Is it just me, or is the Libera Driver also happen to be voiced by Miku Itou as well for both the henshin jingle and finisher announcements? 'Cuz that would be da **** if it is so! I would defenitely get one besides the Demons Driver JUST for her voice inside it and nothing more!

P.S.S. Also, what secrets inside her pouch will ever be uncovered in the future? Only time will tell...(Hopefully)

UPDATE: ****... I knew they would make the Libera Driver a P-Bandai exclusive...What's next? The first few pre-orders bundling it with a limited run of Lovekov as a plushie?
