Sorry about that.

So according to the Gaim Gaiden 2 website and on a ameblo blog entry (I don't know if it's confirmed cos its the only external link that the KR Wiki Gaim Gaiden 2 page had plus I don't know Japanese), the synopsis' for the two films are (and I'm paraphrasing):

Duke: While Ryoma is continuing research on the Sengoku Driver along with Takatora, Yggdrasill is involved in a suicide attack. When Sid and Yoko investigate, they find that the mastermind of the incident is a group called Black Linden and that one of its members, Kyokai Inudo, was a former colleague of Ryoma's and had used the Zakuro Lockseed to brainwash people. Ryoma finds this impossible as Kyokai supposedly died a long time ago in a Lockseed related incident.

Knuckle: A year after Kaito's disappearance, peace returns to Zawame City. Zack departs for New York and leaves Peko in charge of Team Baron. But Shura, a former member of Team Baron that Kaito exiled, has returned to Zawame City and forms Neo Baron, a dark parody of Team Baron. Zack returns to Zawame City to set things right.

Also a new Rider will appear in Duke's film called Kamen Rider Dictator, a pomegranate themed Armored Rider.

That's all I've seen/able to find so far, so it looks like Duke's will be set sometime before the series and Knuckle's will be set after the series with flashbacks involved.

Pomegranate is considered to be a "fruit of the dead" in certain myths- it's an excellent contrast to the Golden Apple that wound up being central to Gaim's main story.

This also might be where Ryoma got Yomotsuheguri from.

Zakuro means pomegranate, so I guess this Kyokai guy will be Kamen Rider Dictator. Pomegranate is an interesting choice to go with for a lockseed. I think Ryoma will be a hero in this movje using the lemon lockseed to fight Dictator.

Couldn't they have came up with something better than Dictator? Last time, they had Kamen Rider Tyrant, now it's Dictator. What's next, Kamen Rider Fachist or Kamen Rider Despot?

I wonder if Knuckle is even going to transform in his story. Because it doesn't mention anything about an opponent to transform against and he doesn't have his lockseed in the future.

Duke's sounds interesting.

I think it's cool. Using names typically used by people who crave power and, generally, misuse it, is a cool idea.

Sounds like these came from the gaiden twitter feed

Holy fucking shit!! A new Jinba form! And it isn't Gaim!! YES!! FUCKING YES!! GO ZACK!!


As for Duke, AWESOME-SAUCE!! Love the basic form and the rapier! *drools and swoons* I don't know which one is better. (Apparently Zach because he has fucking WATERMINES on his hands now! Just wish I could make out what he was mixed with.)

Give me that Duke. Now. I'm serious.
