He?s the chocolate candy maker of all. Depending on how the story would go, he could narrate the story and how the riders can be chosen by some ?golden tickets?.

The theme is candies and chocolates obviously.

They seemed to have published translated copies of the novel in Japan in the 1970s and 80s but I am strongly convinced that it only popped up in the mainstream radar for Japan after the Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore movie, so it's known somewhat but probably not super famous.

Problem


The themes are snacks/animals

Wonka made candy and soda


The series will use chips and so on plus animals are a part of it so no also really golden tickets we just going whole sale rip off Wily wonka that's a lawsuit waiting to happen

Speaking of, apparently Netflix bought the entire rights to the Roald Dahl catalog a few years ago.

Yeah like I said not going to happen unless Toku wants a lawsuit


The closet we may get is a Ryoma type char or geroge

I think that his clothing style is definitely popular, so I assume that this will most likely be the whole reference. Then again, the franchise has never borrowed heavily. Even historical characters in "Ghost" and fairy-tale heroes in Saber are shown quite uniquely.

Is this true for animals? Because all the rumors boiled down to the fact that the helmet looks a little cat-like, but cats and chips don?t go well together. Still, it?s not the first time that those who have seen it are deceived by the outlines of the helmet: Geats was considered a wolf with an ax when they saw the silhouette. Considering the living belts, I think it makes sense to base them on the folklore Oni - known, among other things, for their gluttony. And Hibiki is 20 years old after all. But if we still take animals, then it is logical to use a pig. They eat everything and the pig themed main rider will be very unique. Especially considering that before this there was only one pig rider in the franchise and a rather poor one.

And now we've got a drawing of the belt floating around.

Frog. It's funny. It immediately opens up many possible interpretations. If it turns out to be true, I would venture to guess that the final form will have a crown. Prince Gavv or King Gavv (then the prince is a super form).
Also, as “Orcs” showed, for the Japanese frogs are associated with demons, so there is also a subtle connection with Oni.

Yeah, there is the whole Jiraiya/ninjutsu connection when it comes to frogs as demonstrated with Kamen Rider Shinobi and Kakuranger. So I googled frogs in culture and it seems frogs are also associated with Nu or Nun from Egyptian mythology as well. Seems far-fetched, but who knows, right?

At the very least, this can be used for a crossover with Gotchard.

my problem with that so called picture is the back horns would dig into the persons gut, so I'm assuming this is a very early design or a fake

That is likely considering Nu is related to creation and stuff from the looks of it.

The design may not be 100% accurate, but there are no alternatives yet. And the frog fits thematically.

Dang they stole my idea for a transformation device

Think this but replace the coins with potato chips. It's goofy but this is a kids show, after all!

Kamen rider is mainly for young teens to teens

Sentai is mainly for young kids

Garo is design for adults


Granted super sentai and kamen rider will sometimes change a bit in age range

Honestly, considering how we had fruit locks, game cartridges, bottles, eyeballs, and USB drives, potato chips don't seem so ridiculous these days. :lolol

I don't think they will persay potato chips most likely its going to be in some vain like how the fruits were locks

so most likely its going to be more like a chucky looking chip that would instill into a motherboard with a snack image or something on it

Of course, it will probably be some nfc chip encased in plastic should they go that route.

I think it's important to remember that Toei switched the Super Hero Time format back in 2017 so that Rider airs before Sentai (even though Sentai gets subbed faster now for some reason). To me this suggests an intention to target more younger viewers for Rider and more older viewers for Sentai. Haven't watched Garo, but I figure anything made by Amemiya is typically going to target a more mature demographic.

Also, this is redundant.

Regarding the potato chip gimmick, I imagine something like the Sclash Jellies from Build, as I would've liked to see that utilized more than only 2 items. Maybe a packet of potato chips on a rail or barcode system that triggers a crunching sound effect when you squeeze it!

Series logo!

And POSSIBLY the Driver...

Logo looks great! Very simple, but thr chomping mouth design is A+ in my eyes

The belt isn't giving AI vibes to me (and I'm *usually* on the mark with that) so I'm leaning "very believable". But won't be sold until we know 100% for sure.

Oh boy, do I not care for that driver. Way too many teeth.

Monch

Is it just me or does the belt look like a burger with eyes and teeth? Love the logo. :rock:

If that Teeth Driver is real, then this is defnitely the weirdest one they have ever made.

I don't like that driver. The teeth are just too much

Seeing reports that Driver image is fake

Well that's good cause I thought it look a little weird the horns would dig into your ribs

plus I don't think teeth work, now if its say four fangs that are lined up in the middle i would believe more.

Apparently despite being fake, it's just a fake mockup but it is very close to what it actually looks like.

The color surprises me more. An orange belt two years in a row is somehow boring. Plus, leaked photos from Gotchard's summer movie show that the belt is gray and not orange like it is here.

All I can imagine now is the same thing but with hyper-realistic human teeth. :lolol

I wonder if they will make Dark Gavv (or any equivalent) with teeth eaten away by caries? Still, for the predatory fangs you will have to make a new toy, or at least its jaw, but in this case you can get by with repainting.

I guess you guys dislike the Ghost Driver as well?

Cue the Sonic memes!

Oh, I fuckin despise the Ghost Driver. Too bulky for what it represents, the Eyecon gimmick doesn't make sense, and it clashes with Ghost's general aesthetic.

Yep!

Same here.

Im guessing the driver will be a bit more lean looking with most likely a opening maw type deal to put in the chip. Which will go GULP! or something after closing the mouth

I love the coloring. Wonder what that orange thing is.
