How many Rider Heroine's have gotten their own figurines? I mean, Izu is kind of obvious and I think at least Tsukuyomi and Poppy got merch (if only in their Rider forms).

Hana as well and that it for heroines I believe Femme and L'Arc got figures

Kiva-la as well if I may add.

By 'heroine', that more specifically refers to the main female supporting lead we have every year, not female riders. Natsumi and Poppy's rider forms wouldn't count.

If i remember it corectly, there’s a Maya chibi figure

Haruka Ogami is finally appearing in the show!!

Wait, Ogami married Hurricane Blue?

Has the manga been collected anywhere yet?

That does seem like Nao Nagasawa come to think of it.

Potential red flag for Buster...?

If you mean like released physically I don't think so but it has been translated.

Do you think we'll see a last-minute powerup for anyone other than Saber (outside of dual-wielding (using a WRB in each one counts as more than just dual-wielding))?

I could still see Kento using the Jaaku or Jaou Dragon WRB alongside his Alagnina WRB in the Swordriver. But that's very unlikely I think

Hiroshi Fujioka has some words for Syuichiro Naito.

That’s impossible though, because we know there will be a new Calibur taking part in the final battle.

The thing is, Saber's designs don't really seem like they were ever made to be modular. The motif of most of our Riders is their weapons so it's kind of hard for me to imagine them doing anything too kitbashy. Our villains are mostly kitbashes but there's a reason they didn't really use any parts from the Saber suits, unlike guys like Cronus and Evol who were basically made to allude Ex-Aid and Build respectively.

The obvious exceptions to our lack of modularity are the Swordriver users. However, we know Saber's getting a last-minute "powerup" from scans, and IMO Tategami hasn't really gotten to shine much in the narrative since its introduction, so I doubt they'll want anything to overshadow it before the inevitable v-cinema. That didn't stop Vulcan, but I still highly doubt Blades will have anything else to show off.

If it HAS to be someone, my money would be on Espada. IF our new Calibur ends up being Luna or Sophia, I could see how an Espada Jaaku Alangina scenario plays out - Luna/Sophia gets knocked out of their transformation during the final battle and Kento is forced to take action(i.e., Kurayami and Jaaku Dragon) since Golden Alangina isn't strong enough and everyone else is busy for whatever reason.

The reason I theorize that is because it's the easiest last-minute kitbash I can think of - again, because of the way Saber handles form changes, that'd still be pretty difficult since they would have to make an almost completely new torso.

I feel like we have a high chance seeing some sort of Kenzan kitbash with Falchion, there's a reason he's holding onto Kyomu alongside it's other accessories and I think we might be getting something of Mach Chaser levels with him.

Episode 44 Open, the last page. (8/1) Hasegawa/Sugihara
Episode 45 (8/8) Hasegawa/Sugihara
Episode 46 (8/15) Hasegawa/ Ishida
Episode 47 (8/22) Hasegawa/ Ishida
Special Edition (Final Episode) (8/29) Hiroki Uchida/ Ishida

So a full 47 episodes and a special episode at the end? Not bad, not bad.

Yeah, I thought it was going to end up with a much smaller episode count.

Ending things off with Sugihara AND the first finale Ishida has directed since Gaim? Even now, Saber just refuses to stop being created based specifically on my tastes. :p

Fukuda where tho? :lol

I was thinking that, actually. Man has bailed on Saber more than he did Ghost, which is ridiculous.

That means Fukuda has written a total of… 14/48 Saber episodes, plus I think Phoenix Swordsman and a few spinoffs

Plot twist: He only got on board with Saber so he could make Kanon Specter.

And yet surprisingly it's stayed a lot more consistent with a lot less meandering I feel?

And when I say that I specifically mean the stretch of episodes from the early to near late thirties of Ghost?

I feel like him interchanging with writers and just the writers swapping out semi regularly probably also helped.

There’s… a lot of words I’d use for Saber, but ‘consistent’ is probably one of the last. Like it is all over the place in a way I could only compare to Blade

I'm guessing that Special Episode will involve Saber teaming up with Revice like how Ghost teamed up with Ex-Aid on it's Special Episode.

Almighty Saber is real. A remold of Elemental Dragon.

Saber's final battle. Pics below kinda reminds me of the ones from Kento's vision.

ANOTHER Saber upgrade, huh…

Expected.

Ever since Realizing Hopper, though in this case they aren't just making a normal book into the final item.

That looks like just Cross Saber's base form (I can't believe we now have a final form with its own base form), so are they not revealing the Almighty form yet or is this gonna be another "it looks the same but it's way stronger, trust us" upgrade like Realizing Hopper?

They're definitely not showing the form. The text beside the book is trying to question whether the book belongs to Touma or Storious (I think we all know the answer though)

Given it's an Elemental Dragon Retool, and they show it fully expanded... yeah, I'm sure we know the answer.

That being said, in terms of retools of big books, we're pretty much down to Primitive, Dai Senki and Tategami now right?

Just realised it’s an all-powers-combined form too — the open pages show the covers of every Ridebook

All the speculation we'd get a final episode final form were on-point.

Now either they work the Opening into the jingle or they play the Opening when Touma transforms and for the entirety of the final fight.

Not really speculation as it is more so a thing to be expected these days. RabbitDragon, Ohma ZI-O, Realizing.

I love how they do all the Henshin/transformation poses even without the actual devices or belts.

So is Almighty Saber a new form? I hope it not a suit with xross saber colors and what suit are they reusing? This could be the real final form for saber just want it to look good maybe have metallic red for the suit like ryuki final form.

Could go either way, honestly. But I'm willing to bet it's for Rekka. Finales always seemed to have the main character use their title name/form sans ZI-O but Ohma ZI-O is ZI-O anyway. Build goes back to RabbitTank even tho he used Rabbit Dragon, Zero-One uses, well, Zero-One instead of Zero Two.

Could just be:

-Brave Dragon but with new book (lmao)
-It's used with Haouken and gives a new kitbash suit with the cosmic colors
-It's used with Rekka and gives a new kitbash suit
-It's used with Haouken/Rekka and gives an entirely new suit (Unlikely)
