Care to elaborate on that part? Did I accidentally fuck up transcribing the orignial tweet before throwing it into a translator, leading to a altered message? I did mention that I was merely putting the tweets through machine translations and invited anyone who actually spoke the language to provide additional insight than a translation spit out by a machine couldn't grasp, after all.

While these are probably true with how close Geats' is to actually being revealed, I kinda hope it's fake. The biggest issue I have is how close the rumors sound to Donbrothers.

"Japanese style with cybernetic design" - Donbrothers motif of modern/digital with Japanese Folk tales (well, at least the Momotaro Folk Tale + Journey to the West with Don Dragoku)

"Features a mask that's not necessarily in the gimmick but absolutely is a part of the motif" - Sunglasses design in Donbrothers

"Ninja Rider" - Don Murasame

"Fight in the Metaverse/Alternate/Digital Reality" - exactly the same scenario with Donbrothers.

I mean, it could be that they are similar in concept only, and actually end up being very different, but for the time being it sounds pretty similar.

Considering it's Toei I think it's hardly a coincidence. The shows will air back to back, and they have to come up with different ideas every year. Both of them being focused on japanese folklore would be 100% intentional. And I can already see the easy crosspromotions they could do.

I'm really not sure if he's a ninja. Or maybe they will deliberately focus on other aspects of shinobi, like stealth (Kenzan is hardly a quiet guy). By the way, it just occurred to me: it would be cool if the ninja rider's gimmick spoke in a whisper, in contrast to the loud cries of others.

Omgosh I love that idea, that would be very fun

Reminds me of how Mumeiken Kyomu omits its own name in the announcement.

I agree with this so much. The Ex-Aid Christmas episode is one of my favorite episodes of Kamen Rider, full stop.

An update: Another person has come out, stating they were an extra for Geats! It comes with a much more detailed look at the Revice booklet the other person had. Maybe they are actually filming things for the conference/Geats proper rn...

The tweet doesn't mention anything else except about how much theories about Geats' appearance stems from overseas gossip. (Most likely in reference to the Beowulf/Wolf+Axe rumor, I suppose, since the guy who started it confirmed he was just making shit up? That one fake screenshot based on it did seem like it was passed around a lot in JPN circles, so I guess theyre trying to softly confirm that it's false for everyone.)

>Probably true
Not at all. You need to try thinking critically for once, there is nothing suggesting that these are true and Matt Hunt is wrong about rumors all the time. I do not know why people still believe his lies

No need to get worked up. That part was a bit more of a personal joke, as for the last 4 years every time the rumor that sounds the least wacky and fun IMO tends to be real (like when Revice was rumored to be Rider/Animal combinations rather than mainly Dinosaur themed). This way I don't get disappointed if it turns out to be true. So it's all in good fun.
