Nah 90s bubble gum colors and game controller buttons on the collar screams ex aid. Especially the wtf helmet design that looks like old school 20th century comic book effects. Also, used in early toku henshin sequence

Feel like it'll be a night rouge henshin scenario where we do not see his id only silhouette.

wow wtf. that's exactly how I did NOT imagine Slash would look.
It stands out so much and screams "showy ! flashy ! pew pew !" while Daishinji is a socially awkward guy.

totally didn't expect that.

Who would expect the shy monk sword mechanic engineer to sport a pink driver unless its a bait and switch. Unless its a bait and switch where someone else uses slash. Rumors saber will swap a new blade for the sword holder for an future upgrade.




People forget Gaim started with Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, Zangetsu, Gridon, Kurokage, and Bravo in Q1 and Q2 there's knuckle as well as the three neo genesis riders. 7 in less than ten episodes and 11 for most of the series. Jam number 12 for the finales. Even ryuki didnt utilize all 13 with verde, femme, and a few other missing. Alternatives doesn't count. So saber could stop at 10 with a drought until later on. Kyuranger reaches 11 and took a while to add the 6th/extra warrior as the 12th. Unless saber keep pushing out narrative or more drivers , then anyone can be a rider . There's too many good riders and too many villain generals . All of their personalities are paper thin. If this keep up, they're be generic bad guys with a few one liners. I suppose they can axe a few early like the greeds from Os and focus on a few. We're entering the era where riders and viallins doesn't die . Ex aid, built, zio, and 01. Movies/special epilogue included

Maybe they'll show the transition between flashy Daishinji and awkward Daishinji, considering how Daishinji said that only Sophia still calls him Slash.

My opnion is obviously going to change when we get the full suit reveal and I know likening saber to sentai has already been done to death....but this dude looks like he came straight out of a super sentai series. I think it probably has something to do with the visor. What happened to good ol bug eyes?

Just another case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde I guess. He is socially awkward and shy as Tetsuo, slap on that driver and henshin, a total superstar as Slash.

Hmm... I only just realized now that Billy Ghost has a revolver on his face.

About Slash though I dunno why but I get a bit of Ex-Aid with his design mostly because of those three buttons on his collar

On the buttons, to me they look more like dials that would control bass, treble or volume, etc. on a sound system; it's those little notches that do it for me. It'd fit with the sound theme too!

Well, that was quick. I thought it would take longer for the full body shot to leak.
