It's legit - it's from the intellectual property database's Twitter bot. And it's definitely not Excite, as weird as Ex-Aid is, that's the actual romaji that appears on the registration. Excite would be イクサイト.

As far as writer goes, I'm always open to Toshiki Inoue giving it a shot once again. It's been long enough that he could have possibly recharged. If not him, I'd prefer a new writer - the Ghost writer won't do two years in a row, Sanjo is taking a break from TV writing to focus on his manga, and I'm not a huge fan of Kobayashi's Kamen Rider. (Her Sentai are fantastic though)

I've also seen people absolutely sure that this new Rider is an emergency rescue worker or what have you because of the name and I'd like to advice some caution. With Drive, we knew it was going to involve a vehicle but had no idea it was a cop show, we knew Gaim involved armors but had no idea about the fruits. Toei doesn't always go with the obvious.

I think a rider with the color of a ambulance truck would be cool for the main rider. With it being red and white.

Perhaps the "Ex" is telling and he doesn't aid others, but harms them?

Oh, that settles it then. When should we expect scans/leaks? Closer to end of summer?

I think the earliest you should expect scans are the end of the month, when leaks for the next month's magazines are usually posted. Filming probably won't begin until July or August, which is also when we'll probably see the press conference.

Rider starts in October, so I would imagine any scans in the July magazines aren't super likely, but it's worth keeping an eye out for them.

oOo SO ex-citing!

I'm not sure if this was posted or not but that dreaded number pattern in Kamen Rider is still alive. If this is a rescue rider then this kinda works. People are saying that the "-cue" in rescue can also means kyu which is 9 in Japanese. Even this isn't a rescue rider I'm sure people will still find a way to fit that annoying number theory into it.

Stop dude. Just, stop.

What your opinion of Ex-Aid will not only being a Rescue-Themed Rider but his main color will be WHITE and RED?

So Toei have finally made Main Kamen Rider the White Kamen Rider because Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive and Ghost have a White Kamen Rider! It about time!

Because why they keep making a White Kamen Rider so much? If they like the white so much, give that color to the Main Kamen Rider!

I know this might be a rumor but let me be! :mad:

...Fourze was the main character of Fourze, I hope you realize.
