Because it's as easy as apple pie.

His new catch phrase: OreNGE SanJUICE!

Outstanding :lol

Yes! There better ants in here somewhere of Imma be pissed.

It's mine now :lol

Dear Zordon! YES! Oh that is perfect!

You know, I'm just beginning to imagine the pitch for this series.

"… and so he inserts the seed into his belt and cuts it with a knife to reveal the symbol, which causes a giant fruit to fall on his head. The fruit then opens up and forms an armor around him."

I'd say these are his alternate forms. Unless there are multiple riders and the Sengoku Driver is mass produced. And there definitely is a fruit theme going on.

Gaimu- Orange
"Secondary rider rumored earlier"- Banana
Rider/Form to the right- Grapes
Upper Right- Melon

And I can't tell what the one on the upper left is :lol

Multiple Riders. Rider Warring States Period （ライダー戦国時代）.
They are going for Rider Wars again.
Probably something like Sengoku BASARA.

Warring States Period could also refer to the genre. So there is the possibility of them acting like the samurai of feudal lords, isn't there?

Oh, yes! :lol

I can't make out all of their fruit motifs. They're certainly brightly coloured like fruit, but so far all I can see is the orange wedge in his sword and... something is the guy in back's hammer. The purple dude's gun reminds me of a pizza more than a fruit? (MAYBE it's grapes? Since he's purple?)

They're certainly a colourful bunch, but they all look pretty cool. Even the guy way in back. If you coloured these guys different you wouldn't even see the motifs, though.

EDIT: Wait, I see Banana on the red guy.

Wow, so the fruit theme was real after all! Wow, you really just never know.

I really like the designs though. It's bizarre and unconventional for Kamen Rider, but after Wizard's relatively sedate design(which I still like) I can get behind something busy and bold.

BTW they're definitely different forms, IMO, not different riders. Three of them have the same belt, and a fourth is holding a lock-seed. I think the brown one is Coconut.

Wow.

Those, um...

Okay, I'm not going to totally hate on the suits from just a couple pictures, but I'm not digging the fruit motif. Not going to write off the whole series, but I think this is going to be another season where I really need to try and warm up to the suit designs.

And yeah, I guess the red guy is also Gaimu. I can admit I was wrong on that call.

now question is: will he appear in Wizard's summer movie like past Neo-Heisei riders?

Orange: Citrus, Japanese Samurai
Red: Banana, European Knight
Green: Melon, another Samurai?
Purple: Grapes, Chinese Warrior
Brown: Chestnut, Viking Warrior?

Oh my dear awesomeness. YES.

No, that's already been confirmed. He won't be in it, because his show starts so late.

I'm with Den-O. Loving the designs so far.

Oh Melon and Grape are so doing it for me. All of them are really but those 2 especially.

So it looks like the front fruit part of the lock has a hinge and it opens up as you slice with the blade.

The suit designs look really good here.Gaim's eyes/visor have a pretty nicely done orange slice pattern in them.I wish that kinda subtlety was put into the weapons.

The orange sword and grape gun look WAY too obvious :p

Just a really minor thing,but it would've looked much nicer if that kind detail flowed into the design of the weapon instead of just being slapped on there.It just looks less ap-peeling.(Gaim's doing one thing great already,adding puns to the discussion) :lol

so are those forms or different riders?

and I will admit that pic makes the suits looks pretty snazzy

I have a really good feeling about this series.I can just picture a monster getting slice by the Orange Blade and screaming "So.....much.....FFLLLLLAAAAVVVVOOORRRR!!!" and exploding.

Honestly,I love the look of the suits too.For them to make them fruit based riders and pull it off as well as they did,kudos to them.I have a feeling I'm going to also like the Banana themed rider.Something about him just screams badass.Maybe he's in a rivalry with the main rider over which fruit is more popular.lol

I think they have to be forms. They all have the same belt(or at least 3/5 visibly do). Why make 5 riders and sell one belt? That's not Bandai's way.

Ryuki?

Lots of information on the webpage.
Sorry don't have time to do translation for I'm at work.
All I can say is the Riders are street dancer teams, and Rider battles are games.
There is 1 female Rider announced.
Feel free to work on it. :)

Holy freaking God I love this. So he puts in the Seed, slaps down the knife on his belt, and Henshin! And his sword is adamned Orange Slice! Toei, you have just made my most favorite thing ever! O_O

Awwwwww those colors...are delicious. :eek:

Move over Kiva, a new rider has come to challenge you as my favorite Heisei Rider design.

More important
Writer is Urobuchi Gen. :D

looks like a pinneapple and a strawberry on his hip there

Who?

Oh... my... GODOKA!

So, the new Kamen Rider series will focus on a fruit flavored samurai... and it's being written by the same writer as Madoka Magica... Sold!

Street dancers, huh?

Like, boombox and cardboard under and overhang?

I still wish his shoulderpads hugged his arms like actual shoulder pads, but the colours at work are just so... pretty.

He's the writer for Madoka Magica. If you've been reading Xtreme (and I know you have) then you'll know that I (along with several other people) like me some Madoka Magica!

With Bucchi this Rider could be the funniest yet darkest series at all time. :D

Basically street kids with no life lives in a new town under the control of a gigantic cooperation "Joukamachi".
They use street dance to release their stress, and use Lock Seed to summon "Invess", a small animal, to do war games in a different dimension. "Invess" opens so many doors in different places, brought over monsters, and lead to chaos. The reason for monsters showing up is unknown.

Kasuraba Kouta stands up for the human race as Gaimu against the catastrophe, and so are his rivals.
Everybody fights for their own justice, just like the Warring States Period.

Like I said before, I'm sold! :D
