Color809 said that Na-Go was getting an upgrade as well

Yes Nago is supposed to get something but we don't know what it's supposed to be & no on PunkJack, if he does get something it'll probably be after the show in a V-Cinema.

Also apparently there's supposed to be a revised Laser Raise Riser (P-Bandai) that has new sounds, supported by the fact the one of the suit actors posted a photo posing with one that suspiciously has a new card in it (I'm guessing he did this by mistake?).
UPDATE: this updated Laser Raise Riser will include 2 new cards: the Laser King Card & Laser Queen Card

Also Tycoon, Buffa, and Nago's final form items are all P-Bandai.

Looks like Geats IX will have its own exclusive weapon called Geats Buster QB9.

Big update, apparently the current rumor is that Kamen Rider Seeker will be returning very soon to Geats and will be debuting with the Fantasy buckle, later on the Fantasy buckle will go to Nago and serve as her final form (Nago Fantasy is just a recolor of Seeker Fantasy apparently).

Are those just fan art or supposedly leaks?

The drawings are from the same source as the MKIX buckle so those are in the clear, though the art is less certain

Fun fact QB is wordplay for kyubi or nine tales.

And here it is:

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Nothing on Hakubi. Does she even get her own Raise Buckle!?

I dig it, also i don't think we ever had a all white final form that good looking

We had some white forms, but they were all sparkling this though looks so clean and i fucking love it

Zero two was good, ultimate revice and now this Mmmmmmmm slick

On one hand:

• New Final Form weapon! Looks like a generic gunblade, sure, but I'm always glad to see a new Final Form weapon!
• Visually appealing to look at.
• Cool gimmick for the Raise Buckle.

On the other hand:

• Too much emphasis on the animal motif. Personally, I prefer to think of Geats as the Gun Rider instead of the Fox Rider.
• Maybe the thighs should've been black, not only the belly.

It might grow on me more when I see it in action, who knows?

Based on leaks, no.

A Final Form Weapon. A sleek and cool design. What more could I ask for?

He looks so good! First Reiwa final form that I immediately loved!

Same here instant home run with this design

Kinda glad that actual completed final form Mk. 9 has a distinct design.

Was disappointed before that Mk. 3 was a repainted base form, even though I acknowledge that there are people who'd appreciate it.

Geats has too much animal motif in general, not only the designs, but the DGP Rider names as well, while also even extending to the Riders' personality itself corresponding to their animal motif.

• Geats = "kitsune" without "ne", vocalize "ki" (becomes "gi").
• Tycoon = "taikun", anagram of "tanuki".
• Na-Go = close to "neko" (cat).
• Buffa = "buffalo" without "lo".
• PunkJack = Portmanteau of panpukin ("pumpkin") and jack o'lantern, with an extra "ku" in-between.
• Mary = "mary had a little lamb" (sheep motif).
• Shirowe = "shirokuma" (polar bear).
• Ginpen = "pengin" (penguin) flipped around.
• Keilow/Keiro = Portmanteau of "keiro" (respect for the aged day) and either "fukuro" (Japanese for owl) or anagram of the English "owl".
• Letter = "Yagi-san Yuubin" (two goats receiving letters from each other and eating them before they could read their contents). Also "yagi" in her surname being homophonous to mountain goat in Japanese.
• Nadge-Sparrow = Other than Sparrow, his civilian form's "suzu" surname is taken from "suzume" (tree sparrow).
• Lopo = "lobo" (Spanish/Portuguese for "wolf").
• Groovy = anagram of "bīguru", from "beagle".
• Hakubi = "hakubishin" (masked palm civet).

Oh, good find. :rock:

I think Geats IX is by far the best final from the Reiwa Rider era. The color scheme definitely helps and really embraces the nine-tailed fox motif. Even the name Geats IX is a rough-sounding wordplay of kitsune the way I see it.

I feel like it actually balances out the typical streamlined Base form derived aspect of Reiwa Final Forms with a bit more of the excessive and grandiose flourishes of Heisei Final Forms.

The final form having nine tails was pretty much a given, at the very least after Boost MK.II. Looks really good, can't wait to see it in action.

this is the first time I liked a final form since Ghost it looks like a stronger version of the MC without having too much going on (Ex-Aid/Build)

Yeah definitely not as excessive as some of these final forms tend to be.

…I fail to see how ‘stronger version of the base form without being too extra’ doesn’t also describe Zero-Two, Xros Saber, and Ultimate Revi/Ultimate Vice. Understated and elegant final forms is kind of Reiwa’s thing.

Mark. XI is absolutely beautiful. Love the cape being nine fox tails and the white color scheme going on. And while basic, I like the gunsword.

Have to agree that this is my favorite Final Form of the Reiwa Era, as much as I liked Ultimate Revice being a suit over the base suit.

Ultimate Revice and Zero two took the base outfit and improved on its looks to create a sleek design that also kinda tells you

"This is the final"

Saber, saber not so much that outfit was a shitty god awful repaint that needed to be shot into the sun

Hell if anything the Reiwa era final forms are taking more after kuuga and agito in terms of design

Since ultimate kuga is a repaint might, with added parts to make him kingly

Hell saber dragon knight WAS MORE FINAL FORM

Geez, calm down. Xross Saber was a fine final form with a neat concept, being that it was a final form that could further change into different forms. It was just unfortunate that they didn't make more use of that and just stuck with the base Xross Saber for most of the screen time. That was a huge draw for me, and it's a shame that they didn't do more with it. And there could've been a better indicator that the sword horn had changed, since it isn't immediately obvious until you see them helmet from the side.

And honestly, I find Xross Saber to be a much more visually striking design because of the color palette. Like Zero-Two was kind of boring to me because it was too similar in color palette and design to Zero-One, while Xross Saber, despite having the same exact suit besides the sword horn, leaves a much bigger impact on me because of how very drastic the color palette change is. And Xross Saber also won me over the other Reiwa final forms because he gets a final form weapon (and I have no idea why people don't count the Haouken Xross Saber as a final form weapon), breaking the long streak of Riders who didn't get one since Wizard.

It would've been a whole different story if Xross Saber retained much more of the original color scheme (like limiting the galaxy paint to the Brave Dragon side while retaining the white middle section and black left side) and only the sword horn changed. Now THAT would be an issue, I think.

Well, with that tangent out of the way, I really enjoy the look of Geats IX. It's a good medium between the more detailed final forms of later Heisei seasons and the more streamlined final forms of the Reiwa seasons. That is sort of the problem I've always had with a lot of discussions about final forms, in that the Reiwa final forms tended to be too simple for me (not that they're bad, I think they look good still, and I like them), yet people praised them a lot while regarding (mostly later) Heisei final forms as being "overdesigned" (while typically using that as a negative).

I still personally prefer a lot of more heavily armored designs like Blade King, Kiva Emperor, Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer, Build Genius, and GrandZi-O over Zero-Two and Ultimate Revi/Vice (ironically with only Xross Saber being close to approaching that list of favorites in spite of the simplicity behind the design). But I think Geats IX is in the same ballpark of being one of my favorite main Rider final form designs. It's a great simple final form, while still being very visually distinct from the base form. And while the Geats Buster QB9 is just a Magnum Shooter 40X retool, it's nice to see that another weaponry-based Kamen Rider gets to have a final form weapon.

I wonder if that'll be the case from now on, that any season where a Kamen Rider is primarily associated with a weapon and uses it often will get a final form weapon, as opposed to Kamen Riders who get weapons but have a preference for fisticuffs and don't get one of their own (Zero-Two and Ultimate Revi/Vice being indicators of that).

What I'm wondering is how Geats unlocks mark IX.

More images of Geats IX

The eyes remind me of Drive Type Tridoron and TF Prime bots. Again, one of the best final forms from the Reiwa Era so far imo.

Looks like the sketch for the Boost MK 9 buckle was correct, not let's see if it'll be the same for Buffa Maou & Tycoon Shogun.

I personally think its safe to say they are likely accurate, but of course I could be wrong!

I think it's safe to say even if it's not accurate we will get something close. And if they don't make it to the show we can hope for those two to appear in the v-cinemas.

There's too many additional KRs in GEATS.

So a new sketch has come out for how Tycoon's Shogun buckle works. Looks like it has a similar gimmick to how the Boost MK IX buckle works (minus the revolve aspect).

Actually I think it still does use the Revolve On gimmick. Like the sword part stays on the Desire Driver, the sheath buckle gets pulled off, Revolve On is activated, and then the sheath buckle gets insert into the other side.

According to Google Translate, that seems to be what the kanji is saying. Interested to see how it will look physically, since the handle part has to go on top of the sheath, but the blade has to go under it.

I imagine that the sheath part itself is actually more of a divot than an actual sheath to allow the handle of the sword to be over it if this is accurate. Or that the sheath buckle is just thinner.

So that means Tycoon will have two final forms?

open blade more an attack base form with the blade sheath being a defense form?

more like geats where one is incomplete i think
