I dunno man, I mean the whole "Magnetic Storm Blast" thing on the finisher seems kinda sus.

Is that a thing people always said or are you playing "Among Us"? :lol

Here's how I'm betting it went down

Toy Designer - "Well, here it is, the new key for our secondary protagonist. Based on what the story team have told us, he really hates machines, so we'll include an attack based on an EMP, which will really fit into his character. It's coupled with an Assault Trigger, which is based on the old tradition of "Trigger = Anger" we figured a couple of years back, which further fits his character.

Writer-san - "... Magnets? How do they work?"

Assault Wolf's kinda lame in retrospect, huh. It doesn't do anything cool or unique other than 'be stronger', it's ostensibly signature weapon has to be borrowed from Zero-One whenever he wants to use it, and I mostly remember it for it's massive losing streak against Thouser and Jin.

Mostly I’m just sad Naki never used it, especially after finding out the toy actually does slightly different sounds without the Assault Trigger.

Ryoma Sengoku (Kamen Rider Duke), the inventor of most of the gear in Kamen Rider Gaim, is so darn egotistical and megalomaniacal that he named the show's main Driver after himself. I mean, granted they're both spelt differently in Japanese but my point still stands.

I’ve always said that calling a character in your warring states-themed drama “Ryoma Sengoku” is a bit like making a historical british drama with a character called Winston Victorian

Buster's Genbu-Jackun form subtly resembles depictions of the genbu tortoise having a snake coiled around it, with the bean vine representing the snake.

For any who don't know, the dark patches that appear under many Kamen Riders' eyes are a tradition that started with Ichigo, and they're meant to symbolize tears, for the tragedy the Rider has been through and their regret at being forced to fight.

And I just noticed, Vulcan is the only Zero-One Rider without tears in his base form. Zero-One, Valkyrie and Jin all have pretty visible tears, while Horobi, Thouser, Ikazuchi, Naki and Ark-Zero's are harder to see because they blend into the rest of their masks but they are there, and Ark-One has HUGE tears (which is very fitting). But Vulcan doesn't start with any tears, and only sort-of gets them in his later forms.

I'm not sure how symbolic that's supposed to be, but I thought it was interesting.

Did not know that part. It is also the actual visor part of the helmet that suit actors see through, right?
