Alright, this guy looks suitably badass. And just seeing him with Baron convinces me he's the broken arm guy on Team Baron too. Which I'm totally fine with.

I think you meant Kurokage. And I think it might be on purpose. Yggrassil is using troops dressed in Kurokage armor now. This could just be the next stage in the development of the Kurokage LockSeed.

It is just Kurokage, just with a different Arms like any other Rider could use. He's wearing a faceplate-less Driver, just like the one Kaito stole in episode 15. He's simply calling himself Knuckle.

So Kurokage body with Gridon head? I like. And now I need the walnut seed :lol whenever they make it.

It's definitely the Kurokage base body, just with a modified Gridon head. And the ones from episode 1 were definitely Kurokages as well. When you pause it you can clearly see them in the cockpits.

It's a pretty genius device, budgetwise, as they actually don't have to go away and make hundreds of unique suits, they've made an in story reason to just change small parts of a wider costume. And they also have the imagination and creativity to not make it feel cheap. I may not exactly be riding Gaim's bandwagon, but I can really appreciate stuff like this.

I posted this in the speculations/rumors thread but I feel like it could work here as well. Since you guys are talking about the Kurokages piloting the Suika arms and since both Barons and Zangetsu's armies have them could it be possible that Barons army instead of having the Kurokages instead have a Knuckle army?

Really cool design, can dig it.

I'd say there will be only one troopbuilder type. And as for that particular scene from episode one, when you pause and look you can definitely see those are Kurokages.

I sorta like the Kurokage and Gridon armor mix, but my favorite part has to be the big ol gauntlets. I wonder, since its the anyone can use the belt, if Knuckle switches between various memebers of Team Baron. Or at least Kaitou's main flunkies.
