I'm thinking the secondary Rider will be a character we haven't been introduced to yet and they'll be science based. What I would really love though is if this series had 3-5 Riders, I miss the old days when you had more than 2 in the show and would like to see it happen every once in a while.

I'm with you on that, just have to wait until February/March.

I actually forgot about those episodes of Blade, they're really awesome, but just look at this:

The fun starts at 14:25.

I doubt that the secondary Rider is anybody we know so far. I don't know enough about Toku history, but how often have we seen regulars become Secondary Riders/Rangers? Usually it's somebody introduced for that sole purpose later on.

That was a really, really fun episode. I think this show will be great, especially if this keeps up.

Just one thing I have to say, is that warehouse/barn in EVERY Toei show? Seriously, it's like the go-to place for a "run-down, abandoned building" recently, so much so that it appeared in twice in a short span of time in Go-busters! I'm not complaining too much, but it's hilarious! :lol

Birth and Gattack are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head.

Honjou from Agito did wear the G3X suit into battle at one point, but I dunno if you could count that.

I can think of a few examples where secondary riders are characters that appear within the first few episodes.
G3
Gills
Knight
Garren
Chalice
Gattack
Ixa

The key ones being Gills, Gattack and Ixa whose characters don't begin as riders. The others were riders before we as viewers even knew. I think it's possible that someone we've already seen will be the secondary. Though if Decade through Fourze are any indication it'll just be some written in character from halfway through the series :(

At least 3 of those are main riders that are only labeled secondary because they aren't in the title.

Personally, I think the magic nerd (Still haven't quite learned his name) will be a back up rider. A 3rd or 4th one that appears late in the show. Very much like Gattack. As for Rinko, part of me still hopes for a G series revival, but I won't be holding my breath.

I want a character like Rinko or Shunpei to become a rider because it will give them lots of growth and a lot to do, rather than slip into the background while the secondary rider hogs the spotlight to hawk more toys.

Look at the Yuusuke and the Grandfather in DCD, the (Already sparingly used) informants in Double, or the Rider Club in Fourze.
I don't want that happening to these characters in Wizard.

I'm perfectly fine with Shunpei fading into the background.

Same here, just give me more Rinko.

We still don't know how he'll turn out though. Unlikely though it might be, he might do a full 180 degrees change and become totally different. Or, his antics might endear us somehow eventually. We can hope, at least.
