According to scans

Zi-O's rider kick is dubbed Time Break

Gates' rider kick is dubbed Time Burst

Both have the word "kick" engraved on the outsole of their boots, Zi-O in katakana, Gates in hiragana

Huh, interesting. Gates is a leather wrist watch band. He has the clip type on his back. Zi-O is a metal band click type. I was assuming they were the same strap types, but different colored metals. But that back clip spot on Gates is unmistakable as a different watch band type entirely. Like a leather band one, or sports band one that uses that metal belt buckle/clip strap style as opposed to Zi-O's clasp style like on Zi-O's bike.


Should probably bring this up if it hasn't been realized or mentioned yet.

It's a triple celebration.

Zi-O is the 20th heisei rider. Also the end of the era, but it's also the 29th in the count. So the one after it is the first of the new era, 21 of the middle era, and the 30th series. Like how Decade celebrated 10th heisei but W celebrated 20th series overall.

So like OOO, 3 coins and a birthday cake, there's 3 birthday cakes in these two series. (Technically 4, sort of 5, but we'll get to that in October.)

Unless Amazons is figured into that count, in which case Zi-O counts as 20th and 30th. But they didn't count "The First" and "Next" so Amazons may not count in that regard since it's Amazon exclusive and adult oriented.

Think we'll get a 3rd rider that uses Romaji?

Doubt they'd use Kanji for one. But they could that too depending on how it's being used. Though Kanji doesn't cover quite as much as Romaji, katakana, and hiragana does/can.

According to that yellow page, Zi-O's enemies apparently are the "Another Rider" that come from the future. We already have a confirmed creature designer (Yutaka Izubuchi who designed the Lords in Agito and Greeed in OOO) so it seems like those will be new designs.

I'd guess they'll be "monsters" based on the previous Riders, but it'll be interesting to see if they will actually look very monstrous or actually Rider-like, just with a lower monster budget for the suits (see Abyss in Decade). Either way though, I guess making even the monsters into Riders had to happen at some point.

So something on par with Boukenger villains. I like those odds.

What the fuck did Zi-O do, how did he manage to get seemingly every Heisei Rider with their respective final villian there? I'm assuming this is Build's Earth and not the maintime line one?

Based on spoilers posted on 5ch for the movie (which were there before these images popped up online) Build's movie ends with


Sento making the white pandora panel and experimenting with it, only to randomly be transported to that battlefield. Then he sees Zi-O arriving in the Time Mazin, Zi-O jumps out, uses the Build armor and kills everyone.

During this scene, apparently Zi-O claims to rule over every Rider, while Sento just wonders how Zi-O can use Build's power.

OOoh I see

Gates looks rather slender in all these recent scans. Also is it just me or does Gates have Tackle's color scheme?

Would be funny if his surname turned out to be Misaki. :lolol
