Huh. Did not know that.

They mentioned it at the Heisei Kamen Rider Panel at Anime North. Sure is interesting though ain't it? :)

I love japanese children!

I in no way meant for that to sound weird, I just love any reason that Gaim is mainly orange.

No, that just sounded weird :lol

Imagine what the series would be like if the answer was Grape, or Watermelon.

I wish Gaim had more Orange in his costume. Still would have been weird if he wasn't Orange.

I wouldn't mind if the main rider design got to be Zangestu.

Why Kamen Rider Gaim have 2 Tie-in episode?

Kikaider the movie (Why Toei promote Kikaider? He's not popular character like Super Sentai or Kamen Rider)

And

Kamen Rider Gaim the movie (Was that Tie-in episode very necessary? The first 4 Neo-Heisei didn't have Tie-in episode but why This movie us so important to The Show?!)

Take your stinkin' Robot Off Kamen Rider you DAMN dirty Kikaider!

You Maniacs! You blew it up! DAMN YOU, Toei! Damn you to hell!

No More tie-in episode! I want to know what happen between Kouta's and Micchy!

By the looks of it, to fill out the episode count. The show's had minimal use of filler elsewhere.

Answered your own question there.

The other movies weren't capitalising off of one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

Uh...that's happening before the tie-in episode?

Good, because if they'd decided on what was popular with US children, he'd be a bowl of Froot Loops.

Lol probably.

What gonna happen to Ryugen when Zangetsu defeats the false?

You like to complain about the toku don't you? (No offense intended)

The rumor is:

Takatora defeats Micchy by destroying the Genesis Driver, and then takes the Melon Energy Lockseed. Then, using the Core Attachment device, the same one Kouta has for his Jinba Arms henshins, becomes Zangetsu Jimber Arms, using both Melon and Energy Melon Lockseeds, with the power to duplicate himself. Whether this is a new suit or not is unknown.

But that may not happen so who knows!

Personally, I think he's an idiot, but that's besides the point.

Something that keeps niggling at me, though, is why only 13 standard Lockseeds? (Himawari and Kiwami don't count) I mean, yeah, 13, bad luck, and all that jazz, but why stop there? Did they really not think they could do other fruits? But that can't be right, because the Energy Lockseeds are all new asides from Melon Energy and Matsubokkuri Energy.

It's just messing with me...

Haha, I do get the Planet of the Apes references here though.

Considering Gaim isn't even using Jinba anymore, I imagine that the side head crests on Jinba will be refitted for Zangetsu.

Um...what?

Oren calls in his ex-military buddies Expendables style?

Need me an army's worth of those dirt bikes for Kurokages to ride.

I know! Don't you need a Sengoku driver to pilot Suika Arms?

Apparently not :lol

I am loving that.

Defuq?

I believe the kids call that "Shit about ta git real"

This might be a surprisingly fitting description.

The movie looks great. Army factions facing off against one another, Rider football, and BIKE STUNTS! This looks like it'll be great. Mars also looks like an awesome Rider.

Gaim Donguri and Durian is definitely different, but they're finally using the Arms Change gimmick! I wonder how this movie fits into the Gaim story, considering that it says in the scans that Kouta is transported to a different world.

And I am SO HYPED for Zangetsu vs Zangetsu Shin. It's gonna be amazing. I've been waiting a long time for the original Zangetsu to return.

I have no idea what's going on here but it looks incredible.

Looks like this movie will have some excellent set-pieces!

Is Kamen Rider Mars going to be another 'Typical' mysterious Kamen Rider with no backstory like Caucasus in Kabuto

I get why they went Soccer. Because Soccer is opposite of Dance!

I will campaign of Kamen Rider Gaim getting A Net Movie! I love Net Movie. It's fun to watch it.

I WANT Kamen Rider Gaim to have The Best Finale Episode Ever! Gen Urobuchi NEVER disappoint us!

UROBUCHER ROCK!

I think Kamen Rider Drive might be lighter than Gaim because Gaim is darkest and scariest show.

I am down for this sort of awesome craziness. lol

So basically like all villainous movie exclusive riders.
Nope, already established it's to coincide with the World Cup. Soccer is huge in Japan.
Campaign all you like, but if it were going to have Net Movies we likely would have known about them a long time ago.
While I hope it has a great ending I won't say Urobutchi is infallible. He has just as much chance to drop the ball as any other head writer for a series.

As for the speculation about Drive being lighter, well that's all it is. Gaim has had a certain level of darkness to it. But not really anything strangely out of the ordinary. Especially not in terms of earlier Heisei series. If you want to imply it may not be as quality of a series then sure I can buy that. But I don't know that the level of "darkness" will be all that different. The seriousness may be toned down I suppose but that isn't the same thing.

Personally, I hope Drive is a bit lighter atmosphere-wise. Gaim is so intense, so much is happening, so much atmosphere is created... I feel like I need a break from that next year and have something more relaxed- not Wizard-relaxed, but something more like Fourze or OOO.

Well what big sporting event is happening right now? Oh yeah the World Cup about soccer!

Though I won't say Gaim will have the best ending, W (not counting the "final episode) would have one of the best endings I think rider would have to offer, though I'm only about to complete my fourth series soo could be wrong.

W had a cool ending, but I'm sure Gaim will at least be equal, if not better. Depends on your connection with the series though. To me OOO worked better than W, but mainly because I ccould relate mor to the cast of OOO than that of W- which doesn't mean the latter didn't have an effect at all.

Well I've only watched Ryuki, Kabuto, Decade, W, (almost) Wizard and out of those W had such a good ending, besides that year later thing, well the way it ended at least.

OOOs finale was incredible, you know how much you care for the characters but you don't realise just quite how much the characters resonate with you until you get there, it was amazing.

Yeah I absolutely loved the OOOs ending, okay I've absolutely loved every ending of a Kamen Rider series I've seen.

Blade's another brilliant one.

I actually don't remember most of the endings to series that I have seen which suggests I probably didn't enjoy them.

Sometimes the endings have some of the most Badass scenes ever, definitely for some of the Showa Era ones.

Agreed. Also, Blade and OOO were very tragic, while W and Fourze for example were more for the warm and fuzzy feelings.
Wonder which route the Gaim ending will take.
