My hopes that Zi-O Trinity being revealed to belong to a fourth rider look almost completely dashed at this point, especially after settling Hiryu peacefully for now. Oh well.

I don't think both things necessarily clash against each others, especially if the Riders will have a more active presence now. Just look at how the Ryuki episodes double as the debut of Zi-O 2.

Or the Build episodes that also functioned as the opening to the season!

Bit of a rubbish example when those were not good episodes and gave me a very bad first impression of a season that I'm now currently enjoying a lot, but hey!

it's not really a problem of "returning actors take screen time from current protagonists".
It's more a problem of "By episode 40/45, Uhr/Ora and Swartz will still be in the "I create another watches/riders" mood instead of trying something else/them getting development".

We literally have 3 characters serving the same purpose, creating another watches.
While it was ok at first when there was room for character development and when we thought tribute episodes would take the first half of the show only, it's less acceptable now that we know it will be like that almost up to the end game, and that their personalities didn't really go forward.

In the latest scans, the next Rider arc is... Agito.
Also Another Agito is back as...Another Agito.

It's pretty clear at this point that Swartz is the one behind everything, even Oma Zi-O, and Hora and Uhr are just following him without knowing about his actual plan, and we have been getting Uhr development, which is how Woz became a Rider in the first place since he's questioning Swartz's plans now.

Besides, they have tried different things, it's just they always involve Watches, like creating the Another Riders from the future, where they couldn't just get Watches like they did previously, or creating Another Ryuga, a Rider based on a lost timeline.

For the upcoming episodes we seem to be getting more experiments, like creating Another Riders in the present and for the Agito arc we're getting multiple Another Agitos. White Woz also is now revealed to have been working with Swartz all along and apparently is doing something very dangerous to the entire world in the Blade arc.

I’m a little disappointed we aren’t getting Another Another Agito.

Ha! I knew those two fuckers were up to something. I fucking knew it!

After Another Blade and due to Another Agito being into the Another Rider category now, only Hibiki, Kabuto, Kiva & Drive remain.

But how to bring them out?

How about turning Kagami/Gatack into Another Kabuto. He always wanted to be before Tendou after all.

Chase's actor retired. How will Go/Mach revive him without that face!? Is there a chance for Proto-Zero to take on another human regardless?

Taiko Katono is freelance now. That's not the same as retired - and even if it was, Mutsuki's actor has come back post-retiring.

Just had this shower thought a few minutes ago: Trintiy requiring Zi-O to fuse with Geiz and Woz basically makes the form a phyical representation of Sougo with an angel and a devil on his shoulders.

Geiz: Sougo, we gotta stop all these Another Agitos.

Sougo: Ok.

Woz: Let's beat them by destroying Agito and obtaining his RideWatch!

Sougo: Uh...

Geiz: What? No! all we need to do is-

Woz: Oh look Agito's losing to the horde of Another Agitos already, we can defeat him right here.

Sougo: I think we should just help Agito out for now...

FUTUREING-- GINGA?!

Given that it's April 1st in Japan...

I'm hoping he's real. This is the strongest future rider design so far. I love the tipping of his UFO.

I like the design, reminds me of the Great Gazoo for some reason. Also I think if they had the purple slowly fade into black Meteor's legs wouldn't look so jarring.

I doubt they'd break up an old suit for an April Fools joke, especially as Woz Ginga is going to be a thing, this resembles Woz Ginga quite a bit too

I think it will be really interesting if one of male Kyuranger actor are become Kamen Rider Ginga....

Meteor Ready?

Meteor and Mage. Interesting combination.

Looks like a cheap fourze suit, party city DIY trolling on 4/1. Well, the other ones does look unfinished .

I really like how this space wizard looks.

Other than the unaltered Meteor legs, which are definitely really lazy, I think Ginga is a pretty good suit. The shins truly are perplexing though. Do they only have one Meteor suit to spare? I don't really get what gives. Even if it is the only pair of Ryusei legs they have, they could have kitbashed some other suit for workable legs. Other than that, it's a good look. Just a shame his stint in the show is still over a month away.

Oh wow, I hadn't realised his feet are completely unchanged from Meteor's. That's kinda hilarious.

Yeah this suit is way too close to Meteor/Fourze Fusion States to me; I wish they changed it more to be a bit less obvious. Still cool and nowhere near as bad as Quiz, but even so...

This Ginga suit is freaking HIDEOUS. I hope it's a joke. It looks like Meteor and Bad Idea had a butt-baby,so lazy and uninspired...Geez can this BE more unimpressive???

I mean, all the Future Rider suits are reused, some are just more obvious than others. Hell, Kikai used parts of Guardians from Build

How appropriate would it be if they got Ultraman Ginga's actor to play Kamen Rider Ginga?

I'd be down with that, I've seen people theorize it's Lupin Blue based on the poses. But they seem more reminiscent of Akira/ToQ6 (Esp the helmet grabbing one).

Kikai was entirely a Guardian suit, just repainted and with some extra parts on top of the helmet. Ginga actually mixes three suits (Mage helmet, Fusion states body and Meteor boots).

It's April 1st...

(Yes, I really went back to peek just in case this was the most realistic prank ever.)

I'd also throw in any of the kyuranger actors, both because of the space theme and the design of his belt looking quite a bit like a kyutama

I don't think is an April Fools joke as Ginga (at least the helmet) was seen in the toy scans early last month I think for Woz Ginga (the helmet design is the same). All I can say is that at least it isn't as bad as Quiz

I think the joke was just that the twit that revealed Ginga talked about him like he were an existing Rider.

Yup, that's definitely a Mage helmet on Ginga.
I actually do like the recolored Storm suit.
So, who thinks he gonna pop up with his own ridewatch in hand?

He's got some serious O face.

......What?


I actually like the suit. It's very Showa series Rider 1-ish.

OK so I only saw these pictures on someone's Twitter account there Appears to be 2 4th quarter items already leaked One is a another rider ride watch for the zangetsu stage show? And then even more curious a hattari miride watch

I highly doubt that, while I expect Bandai to make something like a Hattari watch it'd be something that's Premium Bandai and wouldn't get shown in catalogue scans

Rider Time Shinobi and Ryuki have been a blast so far, very impressed with them.

Ginga looks alright, but you can definitely see the Fourze in him.

For a kitbash Ginga is pretty impressive. :rock:
Now suppose they go with toku alumni like before, I would like to see one of the Kyuranger actors or Yuma Ishigaki who plays Gavan Type-G take a crack at it.

Have a question about Trinity form do all the riders fuse ala some ultraman, or is it just Their individual powers and maybe they can't henshin?

The Riders actually fuse. You can see it in the preview for next week.
