Well, if we don't take Oricon's ads as the voice of God, I will state that Neon has no less right to be called a secondary than Keiwa and Michinaga. She has a lot of script time, she was the first to team up with Geats and used more raise buckles than anyone else except the main rider.

Why thank you! That's actually a good point though: With Gotchard having fusion forms instead of mix and match, that at least limits the combos, although Build only had 30 combos + 2 Legend Rider theoretical combos + I think 7 full bottles specifically for Legend Riders, so only 32 (Plus 7 halves)s were outright unique forms, whereas every other form had to be mix-matching. If 100 cards had their corresponding forms, that would imply 50 unique forms rather than mixing combos. Even so, I don't think all cards will have a Gotchard form, but rather other Riders may use a card as their default form. We could have a Revice situation where the main rider uses the majority of collectibles, and the others are distributed amongst other riders in any amount.

To be fair, there has been no reason to believe that Gotchard will have the same Revice style of having forms directly reference past riders. Also, the rumor of Decade being in the show doesn't stem from Inoue being in the show, it was a Chinese listing of Gotchard-related items that listed one of the belts as something like "Gotchard Decade Driver" (paraphrasing the translation). So rather than Inoue showing as a random character, the belt is basically called a Gotchard-Decade Driver. What that means or implies really is up to interpretation, and the listing could easily be a misunderstanding (literally they had two listings for Fantasy buckle, one being labeled Type A and another Nago-ver, when that turned out to be false). Literally everything regarding Decade's presence and Inoue possible casting originate from the listing and Ironheng, both of which have mixed track records.

It would be amazing to see Decade have the role of say, Ultraman Zero's appearance in Ultraman Geed, but really there is no way of telling for the time being until we get a leak.



Also, a random thought but it struck me as interesting that Gotchard is the only other Rider besides Revice that has only the main Rider(s) on the poster and the first Reiwa Rider to have his bike featured in the poster. I kind of hope that it takes the Revice approach of only 3-4 max riders in the first quarter, and adds later if necessary. Maybe we'll also see more bike action!

I'm guessing the female Rider will probably be the tertiary. That's kind of been the thing with Reiwa outside Saber.

That writers name is Hiroki Uchido though, the kanji just can also be read as Yuki

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I saw somewhere that Horoki Uchida shared on Twitter that he was one of the writers, unless I am mistaken.

Yeah, he said he's a head writer so seems like he and Hasegawa are co-headwriters

Who the writer is is factual, the issue I had is that people are spelling their name wrong all bc google translate has issues with Kanji lol

Prerty sure you're confusing Hiroki Uchida with Fukuda. Uchida was not head writer on saber, he joined around episode 24 iirc and wrote like 5 episodes

Edit: oops someone already said this lol

Finally getting around to talk about this, and all I can say, is... KAMEN RIDER BUILD! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! *BE THE ONE! BE THE ONE!*

Or at least the synopsis and theming reminds me heavily of that. And if it's going to be an episodic format this time around, I'm honestly all for that. It'll help mix up the Reiwa Rider's current formula, also, because it's been awhile, but I won't be surprised if it isn't.

Still, love the suit, sounds like this'll be more light-hearted and fun (or maybe it's the Fourze and Build comparison sticking in my head) after we just had Geats. Then again... The word "Alchemist" drifts my mind to... *FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

Anyway, looking forward to it!

For the secondary rider I want Magical Girl Beast 2.0 but stores each card in a vinyl sleeve like how collectible card game players do and scolds Gotchard for not doing the same with his cards. :lolol

Then we are waiting for interesting news from Masahiro Inoue.
