No I believe we're definitely looking at MP versions of him. Their belts all lack unique face plates. That would suggest they aren't the Kurokage we already know.

But Kurokage now doesnt have a unique faceplate, nor does Gridon, just basic faceplates that have Barons Sounds.

Dude, they do :lol

Plus, Kurokage has Gaim's sounds and Gridon has Baron's sounds

Yeah all the Armored Riders have unique plates. But the Kuro Trio is generic with a solid black plate.

Oh well them, once again OOO proves I am a Baka when it comes to noticing little stuff :lol

Well when the hell are getting those toys? I want all the faceplates! >_<

Another good episode. I really all the transforming(especially Zangetsu) and the feeling the stakes were really raised this episode. Also, was Koichi Sakamoto directing this episode? The Santa Kouta stunts at the start really felt like his style.
