HOLY SHIT!!!! Otoya is by far the best part of Kiva thanks to his charisma, and he's fking back!

I hope his character is good. Not really feeling Grease's design but having Kouhei as the actor already makes him a favorite.

i missed the cockiness and swag of Otoya. Having his actor return is great since i enjoyed the 1986 part of Kiva bcoz of just Otoya lol.

His character in Build is probably going to be starting out as a jerk lol

New Scans:

Stuff according to the scans(merry christmas y'all):
SMARTPHONE WOLF
- SmartphoneWolf gives Build a sharp 4-pronged claw to attack, and the smartphone display on his other arm can deflect enemy attacks
- The 20 full bottles that Sento had so far are not the only ones, each island has a set of 20 full bottles, bringing the total count to 60 full bottles(Smartphone and Wolf are from Hokuto respectively)

GREASE
- Grease/Kazumi Sawatari is the leader of a band of warriors in Hokuto, who by fighting Build and smashes is ordered to seize the full bottles and the pandora box
- Grease uses the Helicopter full bottle to fly
- He uses the Robot Sclash Jelly to transform
- He has three subordinates who are as a group called "Hokuto Sanba(Hokuto Three Feathers) Garas"consisting of Akaba("red feather") has spiky hair and wears red, Kiba("yellow feather") wears yellow, and Aoba("blue feather") wears blue. They also can transform into hard smashes, a more powerful version of smashes.
- Grease's rider kick is called Scrap Finish, which is performed by jumping high up in the sky and uses the momentum when he falls down do the work for him
- He can spray jelly from his hands to break through enemies or bind them

CROSS-Z CHARGE
- Ryuga uses the Dragon Sclash Jelly and Sclash Driver to transform into Cross-Z Charge
- His rider kick is called Scrap Break

TWIN BREAKER
- Sclash Jelly riders can use the Twin Breaker to fight, in attack mode it can pierce through enemy armor, and in beam mode it can fire two powerful beams at the same time

CURRENTLY REVEALED FULL BOTTLES OF HOKUTO ORIGIN
- Wolf
- Smartphone
- Helicopter
- Eraser
- Phoenix
- Robot
- Bear
- Television

So no bike for Grease, then? Or will be have his own MachineBuild phone?

Speaking of phones, why is the phone on the Smartphone-Wolf combo so large? Just make it the size of the forearm if they wanted to have some computer device on the arm. It looks silly the way it is.

Cause it's a shield. But now that you bring it up, it should have been called a tablet. :lolol

I was wondering how they would justify the existence of more than 20 Full Bottles. Even then there's supposed to be 32 standard Best Matches so even accounting for this we're 4 full bottles short.

So going by that the other Hokoto Full Bottles could be.

- Rose (RoseCopter)
- Unicorn (UniEraser)

The rest are already listed with their Best Matches.

Don't know how they will fit that in the story.
Because it means Bat, Cobra, Engine, Remocon, Crocodile that are already existing are supposed to be either Hokuto or Seito.

So as we get Cross-Z Charge and Grease revealed, I checked out the pic for Kamen Rider Rogue again and I cannot help but think that the breastplate is a nod to Kiva. Color scheme is a nice nod to Sasword with the purple armor and green eyes.

Will Takumi’s mother make a return in the Hokuto Arc?

And what of Grease? Will he start off as an enemy and later friend?
