The intend seems to be animal + Rider, where the animal is just an animal, not necessarily anything to do with the Rider.

I guess it is possible it could actually have been picked totally randomly or for some weird or benign reason, i know toei does a lot of focus testing so that could be source of the animals chosen?

Remember Gaim is only an orange because oranges were the fruit kids liked most in focus testing (banana came in second, which gave us Baron), so clearly focus groups have a big impact on shows when it comes to themes and designs

maybe once we have the show it'll be possible to figure out the reasoning, but we also may never know tbh

I would've never guessed that about Gaim, considering the "apples to oranges" thing they had between him, and the movie villain that returned later in the show.

I wonder how many forms he'll get and which Riders they'll use. Taking the leak and what we know into account so far it seems like they're grabbing the "major" Main Riders:

Decade - Anniversary Rider

Zero-One - First Reiwa Rider

W - First Phase 2 Heisei Rider

Kuuga - First Heisei Rider

I guess by that logic they might do a Zi-O form.

That was actually the only other form the rumor mentioned, being Zi-O and Robot.

Revice also uses a Pterosaur stamp in the movie that has no legend rider with it, so some of the stamps are just dinosaurs

A look at Decade Megalodon, Vice's Decade Hoodie, and a little bit of their interaction.


The Decade Megalodon is eh, but I like the two interacting so far.
