ok I know TOEI has less of a budget than they normally would (Or I'm assuming) cause of COVID but this literally just looks like something out of Ex-Aid (perhaps an early version of what was gonna be Ex-Aid's main suit)

I'm kind of expecting saber to rotate riders a little as we get into the second and third quarters tbh! I think Saber, Blades, and Espada will always be relevant but I can totally see Buster or Kenzan disappearing for a few episodes at a time on their own missions, just to avoid stretching the story thin trying to accommodate all of them.

As for Slash, it's a wild design that I kind of love. As others have pointed out it's totally in contrast to Daishinji's personality; I wonder if he'll have a different attitude while fighting? The line about Sophia being "the only one to call [him] Slash anymore" implies that he's been in the game for a while, possibly even since the days of Old Saber, Old Blades, and Buster, so maybe he used to be a lot more brash and that persona will return when he fights again...

Sounds almost like R5 from Rescue Force somehow.

I would love to see Daishinji get out of his shell. Wonder how his other personality would be like based on the Hansel & Gretel story?

This... is gonna take a while to grow on me. I'm glad other people like it, and I'm sure it'll look better in action, but the giant collar, the shoulder shields that stick so far out, and the bright candy colors all just look so silly to me.

Yeah, I have said it before but I do think it is a possibility considering his personality and the contrasting suit design. If that is not the case the possibility I am considering is he used to be wild and crazy 15 years ago but the incident changed his character into the shy and reclusive Tetsuo we have now.

Can I just say how in love I am with the candy-ness of this suit?

That gingerbread house chest armor, the gumdrop markings and the sugar frosting lines.

Really fits the Hansel and Gretel theme.

What will Daishinji’s personality as a rider be like? “Sugar Rush”?

Rintarou is distracted by sweets. Slash looks like candy. Do the math.

Free idea for Bandai: Cookies shaped like Slash.

Huh, since when did you start being okay with Daishinji being Slash? I guess you're placing your hopes on one of the other upcoming Riders being a girl?

I'm very curious as to where you got this idea from.

From my previous discussion with Henshinzero. He gets pretty excited about Female Riders so I was surprised to see him accepting Daishinji so quickly.
