You know what I miss? Starting to see trailers for the next series at the end of new episodes of the current show. I don't remember when that ended, but it was always a lot of fun.

In related matters, it was bold of Toei to put all of Gotchard's motorcycle scenes into that teaser.

Fits the description. It looks like he wears a deck of cards on his belt, while Gotchard wears it on his wrist. This makes me wonder where, say, the seventh rider would keep his cards. As for this dirty pink guy, I have a strong Mashin Chaser vibe from him.

Given that he is positioned as a school rider, he will especially have nowhere to ride. Fourze was at least launched into space on a motorcycle, and Gotchard only will go from the front door to the back entrance and, maybe, in some CGI dimension.

This guy definitely fits the description of the "Rival" Rider for the year. He looks like an absolute mess and I love everything about his design.

Speaking of designs, the monster looks like a trainwreck too. I wonder if that will be a theme considering how simple, clean, and shiny Gotchard is in contrast to the monster and rival so far.

Also, I don't know if it is only in his transformation device for an attack, but he has Madwheel in the slot, which does fit his color scheme for his suit....

EDIT: Also, I just noticed he has tires on his shoulders and engine parts around his chest and neck area. Looks like MadWheel is his Primary Card.

ANOTHER EDIT: I completely missed that not only does he have a Wrench Transformation Device and Wrench decaled cardholder, but his entire left side of his helmet is literally a wrench.

New character's name is ヴァルバラド or Valbarado (not the official romanization but the Val part I believe is highly likely given how the katakana for it is ヴァル). The "bara" part must be from the Japanese word barasu (ばらす) which means to take apart, and that one eye definitely looks like it could rip stuff to shreds. Has a literal grinder/shredder for an eye.

Seems to be the case. They only mention him by name and not as a kamen rider for now.

Could it be that this Valbarado guy gets the Blood Stalk/Night Rogue treatment where he/she started off as a debatable rider-like warrior but then receives an all-new driver to finally become an actual rider (like Kamen Rider Rogue and Kamen Rider Evolto respectively)?

So looks like the rumor of Gotchard's secondary being a pseudo-rider rival was 100% correct. Also the rumors of the wrench sword gun was correct too, while the colors on the sketch are incorrect everything else about the design is more or less spot on.

Actually, while it could double as a grinder/shredder, it is the Worm Screw portion of a wrench. The left side of his helmet is literally a wrench.

Oh, that's new. I can see what you mean now having googled worm screw plus the whole wrench thingy. Nice.

truthfully, i haven't followed anything abt Gotchard. though i saw on the wiki, he is a high-schooler. so maybe this series will be like Fourze?
