Extremely lame if true. Just gutting Daiji of his defining (and frankly only interesting) gimmick.

I guess Revice's whole thing as a double rider thing meant that the final form has to be new suits for Revi AND Vice, not as one. That's their gimmick so I understand.

This suit, which is named after the show, is awful.

Just wanna know the story behind Revice's new form. Is it Ikki and Vice together, or is it exclusive to Ikki?

I'm personally fine with Kamen Rider Revice, purely because the only thing I wasn't sure on was the face. But the rest of the body being primarily black with the secondary being yellow and then having a splash of extra colors? I'm fine with. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Daiji's new form looks neat too.

Live vs. Evil

Lovekov has gone berserk?!

lovekov has become angykov

Kamen Rider Revice.... Gee, I wonder how many hours it took the creatives at Toei to come up with that. :p

Looks fine I guess. The Thunder Gale Vistamp immediately reminded me of Tackle due to the colors and electric and wind motif.

Holy Live is the real winner though! Is Daiji going to make a deal with an angel? How will this new form affect his relationship with Kagerou? Now I want to see an Unholy Evil as a contrast.

Man that close up shot of Evil with the prop Two SiDriver... Seriously, I applaud the suit actor and trying their hardest to make such a non-nonsensical weapon look decent during the fights.

Kamen Rider Revice...I mean, A. I'm surprised that we're already getting a fusion upgrade and B. it's not the Final Form when it seems like the perfect premise for the Final Form. I guess the Final Form really will be some kind of double upgrade for both Revi and Vice.

I don't hate the base design but those colors are so garish and blinding. I think it's a bit much. I think maybe they should have went with a more subdued yellow or a different shine to it.

Holy Live looks amazing though. It seems like they're leaning more into upgrading Live than combining Evil and Live together, to the point of Live needing a new form to fight off Evil, which makes me wonder if we're not getting a fusion form of Daiji and Kagero coming together. If Holy Live is an angel, maybe we'll get a fallen angel form?

I wonder if we're going to be getting a Jeanne upgrade. I mean, tertiary Riders don't usually get any by this point, but...

Yeah, damn, Revice looks horrible. One of the worst suits I've seen in years. Holy Live keeps looking better and better though

So Barid Rex/Volcano Rex is the Upgrade form (and this shows' "upgrade form that needs an additional piece to complete" gimmick), so between this and Jack Revice, which is the Super Form?

Does Jack Vice count more as like an additional Vice form?

I think Revice is fine, but when compared to Holy Live, it doesn't hold a candle. Assuming it's not the final form, then I guess it would be another upgrade? It was bad enough when Barid Rex got an upgrade like 3 episodes later, giving Ikki and Vice another upgrade for the super mode is excessive. Plus, the idea of a fusion between the two falls a little flat when they've been fusing the entire season with the remix forms.

I'm glad Daiji will finally get something to do with a new upgrade. He's definitely the sibling that has faded most into the background, so hopefully this will be good character development. Although, I'm not sure what to make with him fighting Kagerou, given he's hardly felt like an antagonist these past few episodes.

And nothing for Sakura. Disappointing, but not at all surprising. At least she has a lot more going on plot wise than Daiji.

I am really digging the devil and angels themes. It's not quite gothic/biblical but still fun to see.

Not crazy about the new Revice form, but usually when I don't like the main rider suits, the secondary keeps me satisfied (see Kiva, Fourze, and Drive).

What don't you like about Kiva's suit?

I actually like it a lot, especially the asymmetry of the legs, but what I don't really love is the Jack-o-Lantern style head, and the unfortunate fact that the main suit didn't get as much screen time and they rushed to suit upgrades.

But honestly, I just like the IXA suit more. Same with Fourze and Drive, those suits have some highs and lows but I really like Meteor and Mach.

New Revice form looks awesome. Love the colours

Unfortunately, Kiva's default suit had a functional flaw.

I like the default suits for IXA and Meteor, but not so much for Rising and Storm. Mach's awesome for sure!

Pfftt.... Revice weirdly remind me of Pikachu lol

Straight up, I think the more people say a new Rider suit looks horrible, the more successful it is at being a Rider suit. Taking completely out there designs like this and just *going for it* has been a huge part of the franchise for years and years now, and just like every other time, at least half the people who had a negative first impression based on scans are also going to think this looks awesome by the time the show is over. Any insult anyone can give Revice right now is secretly just a compliment.

I think the base design is fine but the color scheme just makes it a bit of an eyesore (in my opinion).

For the record, I didn't say I hated the suit design, just that I have negative feelings about this suit being labelled 'Kamen Rider Revice' instead of saving it for the final form.

As for the suit itself, I think it looks okay. Not great, but okay. Honestly, my main issue with the suit is that there's a lack of garish color on the upper leg to knee area. Like, having a such a large dark area break up the garish color scheme is super distracting for me.

Revice looks like this. It's pushing the envelope sure but maybe they're pushing the wrong envelope.

I'll give this to Revice, it has a better color scheme than Magma Rex. Although, that doesn't mean it's that good? Because from the head, it looks good, the suit has a great design, but the colors? That's a lot of yellow, and I don't think it works well here. It's not bad, but it's definitely not the best.

Holy Live on the other hand, looks good, better than regular Live, though it's a shame we'll be sacrificing Kagerou for it, as much as I'd love for Evil to get a new form, I guess that makes sense.

Call me a sucker for garish suits, but I think the new Revice form is cool.

I will say, I hate how the suit has nothing going on in the thigh area, like, at least have a small yellow stripe or something!

Having said that, I find it weird that the stamp is pinkish and yellow (least I think its pink, might be red), while the suit is predominately yellow and black, with blue and pink being tertiary and quaternary respectively. Would making the stamp yellow, black, and blue have clashed with other released vistamps? I haven't been keeping up with Revice, show or toy release wise.

Hiromi will be getting a special within the first Blu-ray called: "Dear Gaga"

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...TjacAIkSlb.png

Synopsis:

Hiromi Kadota, the man who risked his life to protect the world, returns home. After a fierce battle, FENIX commander Hiromi Kadota falls off a cliff.
He was thought to be dead, but he is alive. Hiromi, who had been exhausted to the limit both physically and mentally, was now back home. In the depths of despair, what are the thoughts that come to his heart?
The title "GAGA" means "mother" in the dialect of Miyagi Prefecture. What is the hometown that fostered Hiromi's sense of justice?
And what kind of person is the Gaga he loves? The untold truth about Hiromi Kadota, the character who drew much attention in the TV series, is revealed.

I can't explain why but that description makes it sound like some kind of surreal fever dream.

Here's the trailer. Seems he has amnesia, and also you can hear 'Without You' in the background.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A0esv7Cnvg

I'm surprised they're confirming he survived in a blu-ray special instead of in the main series, but...okay. If that's what really what this is.

Also his mom/gaga is played by Rumi Sakakibara so I'm just going to imagine Hiromi's dad is Ultraman Jack.

I had figured Hiromi would be taken in by Weekend to be made into a cyborg or Deadman or something there of.

Ngl I'm very excited for this one! I know ppl might think him becoming a cyborg puppet to Fenix or ally himself with Weekend with a new belt would be far more interesting than just "he got up and went home", and I can see your point! But....something about this result feels so characteristically Hiromi that I can't be mad?

Like. It's the classic "hero goes back to his roots in order reinforce/remember What's Really Important™ and have a triumphant return!" For the "old-school" kind of hero Hiromi is, it fits really well in my opinion. Can't wait!

Side note: this was announced on Twitter with a fun little press conference gag, check it out: https://twitter.com/toei_revice50/st...O-GlfhykNevEww

Kamen rider Vale

It's been called "Kamen Rider Revice Thunder Gale" from what I've seen. I don't think this is the true final form, either.

"Kamen Rider Revice" has already been used in some form, too; particularly with the "remixes" and with Kamen Rider Jack Revice. Whenever they combine, they're Revice.

Apparently this is over demons is through using the demons driver 2

It's not Over Demons.

Over Demons uses the Kuwagata stamp but this uses the Kabuto stamp. It's simply just Kamen Rider Vale(Bael? Beel?)

Very Kabuto-esque.
I can?t tell if the right side has a cape or if that?s a guard or something.
The mouth piece has Tai Fighter vibes.

My bad, it’s been rumored that it’s actually the Demon from demons driver.

Guess they're keeping new riders a secret from the magazines now. Didn't think we'd be getting one this soon.

I dig the design for Vale/Bael/whoever, especially the beetle elytra as a shoulder cape, that undersuit though... boy does that look rough.

I was starting to wonder if we'd be getting a new Rider...

I recall the same happening when Ikazuchi debuted.
We didn?t know until the preview, then he died and didn?t come back for 20 + episodes.
