Ooh I see, very interesting.

This is just speculation on my part, but it feels like the Remix gimmick is an attempt to get fans of Kamen Rider interested in combining figures, perhaps like those in Super Sentai's toylines.

That makes sense but maybe they’re just experimenting for fun…

The combination of Rider+Random Animal is weird and clever but I kind of don't like any of the other forms that we've seen so far. Revi's base form looks great though.

I just realized why W might be eagle. W is pronounced ‘double’. Double means 2 and there are 2 wings on an eagle. Not only that the first letter in the word ‘wing’ is a ‘W’.

That would make sense... If Kamen Rider was natively from an english speaking place

true, maybe it is true randomness after all

English is spoken fairly commonly in Japan as a second language; it's why you'll see it pop up all over Toku and it's taught in schools. It has greater prominence than you might think!

It almost certainly is, yeah. Lion for Kuuga, for instance.

I don’t know if it correlates but if my memory serves me right, Kuuga was supposed to have a lion-themed rider as a secondary rider but as you can see they scrapped it. I think the info is still on the KR Wiki article on Kuuga.

Edit: It seems to be right. The photo attached was from the KR Wiki article about KR early concept arts, not from the Kuuga article, my bad. https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/K...rlyDesign6.jpg

Somehow the photo can’t be attaced but anyways if you want to look it up the link is right there
