Who says Nico won't get that Rider form? You're assuming based on name of it alone. They could surprise us, not like they haven't already.

The catalogue specifically mentioned the character's name, and it wasn't Nico

And? I'm well aware of what name it was. Doesn't mean it's linked to the character you think it's linked to. The show has thrown curveballs already. They could still. If anything, I hope it's not the obvious character and it is Nico. It'll be a shocker for sure and it'll be awesome.

My friends and I had some theories on this. Here's what basically me and my friend thought of.

What if Poppy doesn’t end up becoming a rider and instead Nico does.
What if something bad happens to Poppy later down the line and her and Nico are more friendly, but Poppy is unable to fight.
Nico has been expressing her ambitions to become a Kamen Rider. After all Poppy is a bugster, bugsters are typically defeated in order to access the full potential of a gashat.

Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, I don't trust any of that. It's all just way too obvious, and this show has been leaving more questions than answer half the time. I'll believe all that when I see it happen and I'll be disappointed if it does. Feels lame and weak.

Yeah, the toy scans wouldn't outright lie like that.



The possibility for Nico to become a Rider is still there. Weren't those last scans just for the 3rd quarter too? Everything up until June has been revealed, and the series doesn't end until around October.

Personally, as of now, I don't think Nico becoming a Rider is an absolute necessity. She's doing well enough as a kid sidekick to humanize Taiga.

Actually I feel I should clarify, regarding Chronos. I mentioned when I posted my translations that I wasn't completely sure if it was actually saying it was Kuroto, and after having checked elsewhere it turns out that, indeed, the catalog wasn't explicitly saying Chronos was Kuroto, just that Kuroto made KRC. It still might be him for all we know, but it isn't confirmed (also sorry for misleading you with my amateur translation, world). Poppy though, yeah, there was nothing ambiguous about the line that says she transforms.


Also I feel I should mention, if Kamen Rider Chronicles is accurate to how Kuroto described it, with regular people becoming Riders, not only Nico but pretty much anyone has the potential to be a Rider. So...we'll see.

Not much I can say about this episode since everyone else has said their opinions. Though, I just want to say that the awesomeness of Brave Fantasy will sooner or later falter, cue to CSHT's clips where Brave is having a hard time with his copy. It's also weird that Brave snatched back his Taddle Quest Gashat and DKHZ Gashat, but not DoReMiFa Beat Gashat since it's Hiiro's personal... To be honest, I really hope that they won't kill Taiga in the near time since he recently gets a good development and his scenes with Nico are always interesting and funny. At least, not until Ex-Aid has his Final Form since I expect the form to use Gashacon Key Slasher's LV 2 and LV 3 Gashat combination finisher. I also hope that Nico will either transform into a Rider later, either to Snipe or Lazer, I really miss the suit. Oh yeah, does anyone know how the characters in the series pronounces Emu or M's name? Since, I'm confused whether Pallad said Emu or M in the last scene.

One thing I think is interesting is that Brave, Paradox and eventually Snipe will all have forms stronger than Ex-Aid's strongest form as of now. Ex-Aid's done a great job of making all of the Riders feel useful.
