Ryotaro wants to come back iirc but his agency is finicky, same will likely happen to Specter. Agencies are VERY powerful in Japan

Looking at the shapes of the gimmick items and that the belts of Zi-O and Gates seem to be the same, I'm guessing Gates using Ghost and Drive mutually exclusively is gonna be like Specter and Necrom's Eyecons -- technically there's no reason the other riders can't use their gimmick items, they just... don't.

I didn't know that about Hibiki, yikes. Puts me off watching the series a little.

I just want a quick correction about something I've seen thrown about here, though I don't want to get too involved - I don't like getting into arguments on forums - I just want to make a quick correction because I dislike incorrect definitions being thrown about. The definition of Misogyny is not restricted purely to hatred and contempt for women; it also includes ingrained prejudice towards women. So some of the things that have been called misogyny here are definitely valid in being called as such.

That same rumour talking about 3 movies and Zi-O being a woman talks about the main actors of Faiz, Kiva, Gaim and Ghost coming back at the least for certain episodes ala Gokaiger. And I'd be very surprised if some of the more recent ones like Ex-Aid's didn't come back either.

That series overview I'm curious as to where it came from. Most of it seems feasible except Sento's appearance.

That actually doesn't strike me as that far-fetched since Wataru makes a few appearances throughout Decade.

So I looked this up and it seems that at the time word got to the agency's CEO that Hosokawa was on a power trip mistreating his managers, they got pissed rightfully so and decided to fire him. Hosokawa denied the claims and brought along his lawyer to the agency demanding an apology. CEO in response pretty much said to hell with this and gave him the boot.

No they aren't, but people are going to continue to see what they want to see, and I'm not going to continue going back and forth on this subject here.

I do a hell of a lot for all the women in my life from girlfriends to friends to family, if you knew me IRL you'd know "misogynist" is the last thing in the world I could ever be accused of.

People sure like using that word these days though.

So how about we give it a rest and continue talking about Kamen Rider instead of picking scabs that don't exist.

Lol, the rumor of Sento making an appearance possibly on the first episode reminds me back during Fourze where it was rumored that Eiji would appear and give him the Fourze Driver.

Also is it weird that if Zi-O is actually a woman I want Kiriko's actress to play the lead role? I know Tokusatsu tends to use fresh actors as leads, but one of the best things about Orb is that they used Hideo Ishiguro who's already an experienced actor to play Orb.

And if anything it's clear Zi-O is taking cues from Orb and Geed's success, so why not?

Sento will be Zi-O's personal Master Roshi. :lolol

I want images, not name lists that can easily be faked! Though Hei Saber is a fucking magnificent pun, if it's legit then the person who came up with it needs 4 promotions by Christmas

That Faiz Phone X though. :lolol
