So in recent in recent news, the new scans show that Dapaan will be returning to Geats as new Rider with a bat motif, Also if anyone was hoping for Hakubi's return... don't get your hopes up as the helmet has been kitbashed into pig themed one for a new Rider.

The context for these new/returning Riders appearing is that after the Parasite game ends, it marks the beginning of the "End of the Century" game (presumably started by the DGP admins).

Considering the image next to Dapaan showing him using Magnum and Beat in an on location shot we've never seen before? Nihilist Panda is back as Nihilist Panda.

Those two new Riders are also new but also lend credence to the fact that... we might actually see Hakubi again? Purely because unlike other actual helmets that we've seen kitbashed, these are... some of the weirdest retools for Geats Riders especially.

They're both the Hakubi helmet but with different pieces attached to make them into different animals with it looking like there's barely any changes to the base helmet in terms of coloration. Curious to see why they decided that if they weren't trying to preserve the Hakubi helmet, especially with how different colored the ID Cores are to the actual helmets.

As someone who loves the versatility of Geats' Rider system and enjoy OC's, this is definitely some fun news to wake up to.

Glad to see Da-Paan return. Shame it's not as Da-Paan, though :lol

Now that I look at it, yeah you're 100% right.

Okay guys, slight update. Along with a higher quality image we have more info on the new riders, Kamen Rider Tarbon (pig Rider) is the leader of some gang, Kamen Rider Burari (bat Rider) is apparently ferocious when provoked, and Dapaan is back as Dapaan and he seen using Magnum & Beat.

<Sigh> We're way too late in the game to be introducing new riders. Especially ones using the armed buckles. I was hoping to see scans showing Nago and Buffa's power-up forms.

I get the feeling that these Riders will be in opposition to Geats and crew.

They seem to be pretty tight lipped about the final form stuff this time around, keep in mind Tycoon Bujin Sword debuted this month & there wasn't even so much as a hint of him in last months scans. Chances are Buffa Maou & Nago (+Seeker) Fantasy should show up in like the next 3-4 episodes.

Honestly they're all probably just jobbers that Suel's DGP get to try and kidnap Tsumuri again, since I have slight doubts that they'll successfully transform her into the next Goddess of Creation so soon. But who knows?

Is that the only high quality scan we have so far right now?

Aside from the one I've already shown there's one that shows off Beroba & Kekera's Premium king/queen forms, a scan that shows of that Tycoon Bujin Sword can in fact form change, and a scan showing Geats IX will fight Tycoon Bujin Sword very soon. Aside from that there's nothing new image wise (just images of Geats IX from episodes we've already seen).

However, there is the mention that after Daichi's Parasite Game ends the "End of the Century" game begins (presumably started by DGP staff after acquiring Tsumuri & also where these new Riders come into play).

rip daichi, dying so soon

unless he gets saved and secretly hired by suel and his dgp after the thrashing keiwa gives him

I noticed that while can change forms as Bujinsword, only the chest plate and arm parts change, the shoulders and everything else remain the same.

change for bujinsword huh thats how it works, huh I guess its how he can keep up with Geats

Bujin sword and boost most likely puts him on par with geats final form

I wonder if there is going to be enough episodes left to see Bufa?s rumored powerup.

I find it very unlikely that there won't be a final form for Buffa within the show, considering how Geats and Tycoon have theirs and how closely the belts matched the leaks.

those new riders are totally gonna be the final punching bag minions of the series.
Buffa's upgrade can be as late as ep 46 or 47 and be the one to snap Tycoon out of his 'dark' phase.

turns out that rumor about Seeker using Fantasy was only partially correct. A new rider, Gyago, is using a repaint/remold of Seeker's helmet, as well as the Fantasy Buckle.

It seems Toei couldn't help themselves and revealed the new Rider and the Fantasy Buckle in the next episode Preview:

https://www.tokunation.com/forums/at...1&d=1688260710

This is Kamen Rider Gyago, he's Seeker's helmet repainted/remolded into a Golden Tiger, and from that description along with the Next Episode summary, is very clearly Kousei (Neon's Dad).

Along with the repaint and mods to Seeker's helmet, he has the Fantasy Buckle which uses repainted Taddle Fantasy armor from Ex-aid. The sleaves, I'm a little less sure of, but probably come from somewhere too.

so im guessing Kousei will die. Neon will make a wish to Tsumuri to get back her belt and then use Fantasy.

The closet thing I can think of for the sleeves is Holy Live.
I wonder if the Fantasy armor will gain anything when Nago uses it.

Okay as some have pointed out the original rumor was that Seeker would return to Geats and use the Fantasy buckle first before it goes to Nago and becomes her final form. The identity of the new rider is Neon's father who's rider form has a repainted Seeker helmet (new horns/ears) and other kit bashed parts, he will debut next episode and fight the new evil Riders.

Also as the leaks said, the Fantasy Buckle is just a retool of Ninja.

You couldn't have TimeFire in a Kamen Rider show and not make him a Rider.

Wonder who’ll kill the toad Kekera? Kyuun? Probably not Tycoon… or both him and Geats together.

I’d love to see Kyuun get his own premium form.

On the off chance Michinaga gets forgiven by Tycoon, I expect they'll exchange a knowing look, having implicitly agreed for each to fight the other's supporter.

Wonder if there'll be another Girls Remix where Na-Go joins the team right after gaining the Fantasy Buckle?

Hey guys, here to discuss a theory about how Buffa Maou could potentially awaken. Something that struck me as interesting was how in episode 40 Beroba asks Buffa what happened to his Rider destroying powers and his response is simply "I don't need them anymore". I'm honestly not sure whether he's just saying that and actually doesn't know what happened to them (maybe Ace took them away when he created his new world) or if he willingly gave them up since his enemies at the moment are no longer Riders and instead just the Jamato/Beroba.

If it's the former then I guess Ace could just be the one to grant him the power up, but if it's the latter (the more interesting route imo) then I imagine his powers will reemerge with a vengeance once his hatred of Riders returns and reaches a boiling point, and what better way for that to happen than with the downfall of Tanuki boy and the new gang Riders showing up.

Remember Buffa at the start of the show believed firmly that there were no good Rider and that they were all inherently selfish and would use/abuse anyone in order to get their wish. I can definitely see that original mindset being validated by Tycoon, who was seemingly the most noble and heroic Rider in the series, turn out to actually be a bad apple. Plus the emergence of the new gang Riders would add fuel to the fire. Also to add to the theory of Buffa's Jama God powers being dormant, in a recent issue of Uchusen when they talked about Buffa Musou they ended the discussion by asking "Did Buffa lose this power?", making it seem like it's up in the air.

One more interesting detail to note is that the sketch of the Buffa Maou buckle (keep in mind ALL of the final form buckle sketches have been accurate) shows that he has the Buffa Musou horns which according to the official Rider stats multiplies his attack damage by several dozen times when fighting a Rider (and for those curious the Musou cape gave him super armor against attacks from Riders).

So yeah that's the theory guys, I wouldn't be too surprised if it didn't turn out that way but Geats has been so consistently fantastic throughout it's whole run so far that I'm sure whatever route they go will be rock solid.

I feel like your theory holds weight considering that the Uchusen (the book that gives us close up angles of the Rider suits in good quality) did give a remark on Buffa Musou from what one person mentioned about...

"Did Buffa lose this power?"

Which implies that it clearly isn't gone and there's more going on. Might even factor into how Buffa still had Command despite Grand End occurring (I'm not sure they'll explain that but hey, weirder things have happened). It makes it potentially reemerging and becoming Maou in the next few episodes very likely, especially with a bunch of antagonistic Riders coming back.

I think Buffa would gain the Maou power once he holds hatred for the bat & boar riders. Especially the return of DaPaan & Mary.

Mary hasn?t been implied to be coming back, and Turbon has already been eliminated. It seems that Brali is to be eliminated next episode, also.

Based on the preview for the next episode, Michinaga is 100% on Ace?s side now, so it?s probably going to be Ace that makes Maou for him.

Here's some pics of Nago Fantasy, the armor itself the same as Gyago Fantasy with the exception of a different mouth plate. I've heard some people say that Nago's Fantasy mouth plate is a modified Magnum mouth but I'm not entirely sure. But other than that, the Nago suit is completely unaltered.

I think they repainted the Nago Boost jaw helmet for this.

It looks really nice on her though, way more so than Beat and I thought Beat looked good on her already.

It's definitely Boost's, it took me a minute to look at them side by side cause they all have the same chin-guard:

https://www.tokunation.com/forums/at...1&d=1688872057 https://www.tokunation.com/forums/at...1&d=1688872057 https://www.tokunation.com/forums/at...1&d=1688872057

But look at how straight the whiskers are, cause they're the engine vents on Boost just stretched out with black. What's more, Boost's mouth has those triangular indents near the chin that got repainted to be the lower fangs for Na-go Fantasy.

It's just nice to have a female Rider get a Final Form (and not get their Final Form V-Cinema'd like Espada's was).

Speaking of which, I was wondering how they would get around the Taddle Fantasy's demon face, and it looks like they just tore it off and sanded down everything to make a smooth surface for the magic circle. :lol

The fact that Fantasy fights with CGI is... not a good sign that well be seeing her use it's powers too often (remember when Beat could just yeet fire/ice/lightning at people?), but it did look impressive with Gya-go.
- Also minor correction, the Episode notes for Ep 44 reveal Gya-go is a Bobcat/Lynx, not a Tiger, my mistake.

Or Valkyrie for that matter, who had to go the entire finale of Zero One with Lighting Hornet (the form she got in episode 6)

I dig Na-go final form, granted it still means she can use another buckle like boost or even the music one shes been using

you know what makes even better the fact she can still use a other buckle meaning she can reach around the same power level as the other riders

Like she could use boost and keep up with Tycoon and buffa with little effort or even geats

I think Na-Go BeatFantasy will be the true Final Form! Even the name sounds symbolic, like she's Beating the Fantasy to become her real self.

Hey, Lightning Hornet was cool! At least Valkyrie got her Final Form early, while poor Horobi got nothing until the finale.

Considering that, as Fantasy is treated as a normal Raise Buckle by the Desire Driver, there is a ‘Fantasy & Boost’ combo sound, I’d imagine her proper final form will be Nago FantasyBoost.
