I hope we get a different personality from the eager boy scouts

I've encountered some people who seem to genuinely think Geats will be a full on sequel to Faiz, and I still just think that's... very unlikely...

I won't deny there's a similar vibe between the two riders, and with Takahashi writing a somewhat Faiz related special recently it does feel like there's some intentional connection... but I feel like a breif cameo, or even just like a TTFC exclusive crossover is more likely than Geats being a proper sequel, especially since the offical story summary doesn't really mention anything that seems faiz related?

I'll wait until we have a trailer at least before I'd say I'm 100% sure it isn't a Faiz sequel I guess... but idk it feels like a big jump to me

This makes me really want to finally finish Tiger and Bunny. Been meaning too for awhile. Just started rewatching Soul Eater though...

Why do people keep saying that Geats reminds them of Faiz? Nothing about the design really looks Faiz-ish to me.

It's already the afternoon of the 22nd in Japan, so people are up and watching Battle Familia! Here's what people have to say about Geats' appearance in them!

Firstly, a description of the in-movie scene he's in:

And some interesting clarifcations!
I haven't seen any confirmation on whether his appearance in Shin Hatsukoi Hero is true or merely a rumor (the press didn't mention it, I haven't seen any people piping up about it), but I'll keep an eye out for it just in case!

The eyes feel kind of Faiz-ish.

At least personally it's the focus on black with red highlights, as well as a sleeker more "combat" style appearance that reminds me a bit of Faiz. I do feel like I think "gun" when I think Faiz, though this might not be an association everyone has? (I am saying this as someone who hasn't seen more than 5 episodes of Faiz tho lol)

tbh tho I'd say it also reminds me of Arc-One, and it generally has a "Reiwa" vibe to it

This is some really cool info to have! I kind of hope some footage leaks, I'd very much like to see Geats (and the belt) in action!

Oh yeah, I actually assumed it was called Magnum already because you can see a symbol matching the item seems to be labeled as "MAGNUM" on a sign in the official promo poster, I must have forgot to mention it here tho oops

Well, Takahashi. I'm not at all against another one of his shows, but it makes me think that in the continuation of "Smart Brain and 1000% Crisis" some 5th Geats rider will be added.
About the plot: I understand that the writer and producer refer to Ex-Aid and Gaim, but how can you ignore the obvious reference to Blade? The main character's name is Ace.
The gloomy design suggests that the series will be serious, and all the comedy will focus on peaceful scenes that do not really affect the plot.
The gun is very cool. A scarf too, but it confuses me that it is not in any of the real photos. The unarmored version resembles the Den-O base form.

The issue with scarves like this is most of the time it won't be visible except when we see Geats from the back, it'll be hard to get it in front shots without using wind machines or wires, so in a lot of photos, especially like candid shots, the scarf likely won't be (very) visible a lot of the time

Once we get footage I'm sure we'll see it a good bit, I bet they'll be excited to show it off a lot early on and in promo footage especially
