Would be funny if it's a total coincidence and geats winds up not even being a fox. But this does feel like it could be some intentional cross promotion stuff?

But on the other hand it feels like... if geats really is a fox... wouldn't it have made sense to wait an extra week or so to do this video and do it with geats??? It feels... odd

Like, why do a fox themed video with Revi and Vice if you're about to announce a fox rider you could do the video with instead?

Like it could just be a cute cross promotion idea, but smth about it feels weird in a way that's hard to describe

I just thought: if Geats is really a red and white rider-fox with a scarf, then will the author of "Immortal Red Fox" Toei sue for such a brazen plagiarism?

Anyone ask for more rumors?

And Ironheng's back with another rumor. At this point I'd be wary of their info but since Hunt apparently seemed confident enough to also sign off on this rumor, so... (the original rumor apparently comes from 2ch, take that as you will):

Finally, a helmet sketch. Dunno where exactly it comes from so i feel iffy about cross-posting it here, but here you go.

I'm sure Toei is aware of the fox emoji in the spoilers from the guest actors (if not orchestrated them themselves, because few people will actually risk their jobs and pass off something for which they can be punished) and this is just part of their advertising campaign to stir up interest fans. I think the fox still plays some role in Geats, but not the fact that this is his theme / form. The fox might as well be something like Secchan in Zenkaingers.

I...I dunno if he'd have grounds. I mean he certainly could try if there's too much of a resemblance. But in the end, he might lose the fight because Toei has more money to put into court proceedings. And there's no way in hell Toei is going to cut a production short and go back to square one this close to airing or during actual airing of the series.

Sorry, but for me it more of an owl here than a fox.

I'm surprised to see Matt Hunt say
when didn't Ironheng contribute to the Wolf-Axe rumours earlier on? The guy couldn't be more hit-or-miss lol

These rumours feel sort of slapdash to me, not really feeling them? The sketch in particular feels very "Let me draw a helmet based on the current rumour and the logo" but I don't dislike it so I'd be okay if it's teal lol

Honestly who knows at this point, geats feels like a particularly odd rumour cycle lol

Simply put: Think of the kids. Much more familiar to who Revi and Vice are, they'll have more fun dancing along to heroes they know. We, the adults, here are well aware of the early-bird cameo in summer movie pattern. To the young kids, whom Revice is probably their first or second Rider series ever, Geats would simply be another movie Rider until the commercials start rolling out. (And before anyone asks, pretty sure press conferences obviously are a "for investors/collectors/older fans" thing, very few children are probably watching them...) And most importantly: I don't think a stageshow/public event suit for Geats hasn't even been put in production yet, at this point?

Ironheng is probably scooping up rumors from other sites and posting them, hence the varying quality of leaks.....


I'm willing to believe at least 40% of the recent rumors of the past two days are real, it's *far* too close to a proper (official) reveal to be rattling off rumors of this length and detail for clout purposes. Are they really confusing and complicated? Definitely, but that's probably because us (and the leakers) don't quite have the full picture.

Personally, from all the recent rumors, I took out only:
1) Geats will have animal riders and the protagonist is most likely a fox.
2) Suits are two piece and change horizontally.
All the ninjas and others don't seem particularly convincing to me yet. So the brand of the most secretive show of the franchise Geats is still confidently holding.
