ok my Predictions Calibur is Kento but he's possessed by the sword, or Megid or somehow influenced

I reckon he's test subject fodder for an episode or two like the dragin from exaid ds. Without leaks they're good with toy manufactures scans this year we didnt expect primitive to be a berserk and controllable form like hazard or metal cluster. I was thinking a throwaway repaint form that expected lt going to get picked up again by villain faction.n well, saber might go 01 route where the base is the final form or with minor tweaks updates.

Someone in the script department must have binged Saint Seiya last year cause all this eerily feels similar to the early parts of that show.

It's definitely Kento, In one of the magazine images, you can see yellow lightning bolts behind Jaou Dragon, like a small hint.

I'm really curious about what that X-Swordsmen Powerful retool is, I can only assume that it's probably for a Hyper Battle Video?

Yeah, doesn't seem like it would appear in the series proper. At least I won't have to hunt it down in the Sodo release due to it not looking very good (I still have to get Hopping Kangaroo).

Also can I just say I'm glad that whoever this Calibur is, is using forms the right way. You start off in your base form then use your upgrade to clean house. Unlike Kamijo who decided to just live in Jaou Dragon whenever it was done.

Because as nice as Jaou Dragon is (seriously that transformation phrase is great), it's nice to see Jaaku Dragon get the spotlight again.

Huh. Are they keeping Calibur's identity secret? ... again? They would've had a full "WOAAAAH ITS KENTO" image if it was revealed right away. Interesting

I think it's gonna be like how Rogue was revealed.

It appears as if it will be Televi-Kun or something. It will be a Story Book, again.

Who wants to see Ikazuchi passed onto the next new swordsman as the new Espada? Either Mei Sudo or a new one who'll join Team Saber?

I don't think they'll do it because by the end of the series I probably see Kento coming back to his senses and wielding Ikazuchi again. And you can't really "rob" whoever would wield it now and have him be "okay take it, my pleasure" that's kinda weird.

The only one who could do that to me without being weird would be Kento's father if he is somehow alive.


as for the Televi-kun thing it is indeed Hyper Battle DVD and the form is named KR Saber DragonTelebi

What's interesting to me is that the scans show Calibur fighting almost everyone. The only people he isn't shown to be fighting is the Megid.

Wonder what the new Calibur's goal is - whoever it turns out to be.

I'm placing the bet that it's Kento, brainwashed by Master Logos to do his bidding.

I guess Master Logos will be turning on Reika then because Calibur us shown fighting Touma, Daishinji, Ren, and Reika.

if im not wrong,
Calibur's sword is on Touma posession, right?

It was supposed to be. But in the same episode it was transferred to his ownership it was taken by a weird.....smoke cloud. FUCK! Reika stole Calibur's sword!

yeah we actually got hinted about the smoke element 10-ish episodes ago with Sophia and Kurayami and the pay off finally appears now.
Everyone knew it was Reika, we strongly thought she could be a swordswoman, but to think she was the smoke swordswoman I think nobody called it.

I did. Well, kind of. I didn't think she was a swordswoman but I thought she had something to do with smoke. After all Kamen Rider has a history of people with strange powers (Narutaki, Woz, Roshuo, etc.) and with Saber's fantasy theme it was definitely plausible that Reika could've have had smoke powers or something.

It was kind of obvious when you think about it. Reika was there on the scene when Sophia was kidnapped and she was the only mysterious character we knew back then. It couldn't have been the Megid generals because we would've seen them use smoke if they could.

Yeah, I agree. Mei was part of the promise with the 3 Swordsmen after all so it would make sense for her to inherit Ikazuchi.

On paper that's something I would like. to see goofy Mei being a swordswoman and all.
But the more I think about it, the more I'm remembering Rintaro training in Liberation to be able to withstand the power of a full combo and the struggles of Touma at first (being exhausted and all).

There is no way they can make Mei wield Ikazuchi without breaking my suspension of disbelief and what being a swordman/rider in this universe means or asks you to become one.

If they had her just pick up Ikazuchi and instantly be as good as the others with no backlash, yeah that would be hard to swallow. But remember, Touma started out with no sword skill either (in fact if you go back to the discussion thread for the first episode, there's people expressing the same disbelief about him!), and honestly still isn't that good compared to the others, but he learned and grew stronger pretty quickly. So it doesn't seem out of the question for Mei to go through a similar growth. All she'd really need is a good training montage, possibly using Liberation, and to show her still getting used to it in her first couple fights.

And an "inexperienced squire becoming a full-fledged knight" character arc would fit perfectly with Saber's tone and themes. Touma has a bit of that going on, but it's minor compared to his quest to save Luna and his destiny to obtain power, so it would be neat to see Mei have more focus on that.

People are forgetting that the show mentioned in the first episode that ordinary humans can’t use the Seikens normally. And more recent episodes have established that Touma has something special about him, despite being an ordinary human. So u less they establish something similar about Mei, it’s unlikely she’ll become a rider.

I don't think they'd care about that really

Nothing's stopping them from doing whatever, but frankly, Buster's little kid has a better chance of becoming a rider than Mei does.

The definition of ordinary human is pretty vague at the moment though. Touma was able to become Saber after Rekka chose him for his bravery. So maybe Mei just needs to do something heroic so Ikazuchi will deem her worthy?

Rekka did choose him for his bravery, but as revealed last week's episode, there's more to Touma than just le chosetsuka that how Ogami says it? The kid that Touma saw in his Primitive vision was the same actor as his kid self. No ordinary homosapien can wield a Seiken, because Touma isn't one.

Mei is more so set up as another Sophia-like entity, what with Sophia giving her the key to the Northern Base and Book-screen thingy. Could I see her get some sort of joke form like how Akiko, Nico, or Jun? Sure. Maybe something like her accidentally obtaining a some sort of artificial Seiken. I know there are high chances of us getting mook riders.

Guess what I found after posting my review of Saber's latest episode? I'm afraid I don't have the images, nor know how to put them up, but Saber's getting ANOTHER new form and our next Rider has been revealed.
-So Saber's new form is Elemental Primitive Dragon, which is a fiery red looking version of Primitive Dragon with some of the elements of it remaining the same color. It's mostly dark red with it turning orange then to the light blue color scheme of Primitive on the arms and coattails. Honestly, it looks great, but the color scheme is a little bizzare.
-And the next Rider is finally our female Rider (Since you've been waiting for it) and it's Reika (Yeah, I'm not surprised) as Kamen Rider Sabera. She has a new Sword for her Henshin item, which looks like a rapier. She's dark red, gold and dark pink with some cloud details on her helmet and looks like a fusion between Poppy and Marika, with her sword piercing through the cloud details on the left of her head facing downward at seven-o-clock. She looks great, even if it's Reika, but they could have picked a better name for her.
Again, sorry for not being able to show them here, and I can barely make out any of the other information.

Them magazine leaks have been out for a while now...

Sorry, my bad. I only just found out about them.
I look like an idiot now...:lolol

Random thought: If the three Megid generals are confirmed to be a part of the First Swordsmen, and Rekka was the first Seiken made by humanity.

Then considering Zooous' feud with Rintaro and Legeiel's sudden interest in fighting Saber, does this all mean that Legeiel, Zooous, and Storious were all the first Saber, Blades, and Espada respectively?

Did the books seperate in the first place? They could be using regular enchanted sword. There's probably no regulation and SOL wasnt like hogwart where all of them created it and serve as headmaster. There might be a throwaway line since toku are cheap and bad about recreating past hitory scenes to expand lore.

Yeah, we know that Rekka is the first manmade Seiken, which means that we don't know where all of the blades before Rekka actually came from. Kamen Riders might not have even been a thing back in the day. The original human hosts of Legeiel, Zooous, and Storious could have simply been swordsmen - people who just wielded swords.

I just wonder who'll be the last rider according to the silhouettes of swords?

And wonder if artificial swords would be made? Please not Master Logos!!! He be Megid!!!

Inb4 it's Master Logos but Storious steals the sword and book to become the Kamen Rider himself

https://i.imgur.com/39vts1O.png

I'm sorry, but why on earth would Master Logos, who supposedly leads a group who fights the Megid, be a Megid himself? If I knew anything more about him, I'd say he was the most likely to be the next Rider. We don't know anything about him yet, so who's to say really?

I mean Chancellor Palpatine was the leader of the Republic and the Separatists in Star Wars...

What about Luna though!? The series hasn't talked much about her lately.

Plus with Reika as its season's female rider (which is a total disappointment on her being a villainess), what if the season added one more female? Still wish Luna would be one maybe with another sword outside the eleven.

My guess for Buster & Slash they'll later die and their swords are passed on to Touma, Rintaro & possibly Kento. Kenzan will probably go darker and later redeemed for all he's done since the beginning of the series, returns to being Kenzan and dies after.

I still think between Kurayami-Saikou and Rekka, some of Holy Swords are exists. Maybe a lot of Holy Swords (except Kurayami and Saikou) before Rekka are lost.....

I really want Avalon actually are knight organization before Sword of Logos.....
Hmmm...I think it would be really interesting if Avalon Riders appeared in Saber next movie.....

You complain about there being no female riders then when you get one you still complain? Seriously?
