I really like the Flying Falcon form -- it's a shame that it like all the other alternate forms will quickly be dropped for upgrades.

Ugh I wish they'd remake the remake. It's a shame a suit that good got wasted.

Wow Takaiwa is still the main suit actor awesome. Seriously Guiness needs to give him a world record.

Also, wishful thinking, but I kinda hope Zero-One teams up with Ichigo and Kuuga in this. It may be a fat chance though since Odagiri still won't return, and sadly Yuusuke Onodera is a scrappy.

The problem with Rider nowadays is that they have a bunch of forms that will be rendered moot once the obtain upgrades. I get that they need to sell the collectible gimmicks, but there's too many of them and not all forms are actually seen in show, examples being Build and Zi-O.

I think Drive works best when it comes to today's gimmicks. He has less than 10 forms, and other collectibles are used for enhancements instead.

Yeah, pretty much. As someone who loved Build, the amount of forms he went through never to be used again especially when they just completely dropped the central Best Match gimmick... was frustrating.

At least Build had the courtesy to show other forms through other media like the 7 Best Matches special, unlike Zi-O where the only exclusive form we got was DecadeArmor Ryuki Form

It's just so odd to me that Toei keep running into the same problem again and aging considering they're the ones making all the collectables and forms in the first place.

What's more, they have created solutions to this problem in certain series, but for some reason don't implement them in the series that follow them.

• Kuuga solved the issue by having the Rising forms.
  
• Kiva had the "_ Fever!" finishers using Tatsulot.
  
• Ghost had the Toucon Boost forms.
  
• Build could've solved the issue with the Hazard Trigger, but instead we got the FullFull Bottle instead.

We technically got a DecadeArmor Faiz form in a buttobasoul thingy but that was all. I was expecting Ganbarizing cards for every DecadeArmor + Ridewatch but I guess they didn't wanna go through the trouble.

I would've liked to see how they handled some Upgrade/Super/Final Forms. Like would Drive's have been Deadheat or Formula? They seemed to use Super Forms instead of an Upgrade Form incase those had additional form changes. Atleast that's why I figured they used Grateful instead of Boost

I'm fairly sure the only reason that the Decade Armour used Grateful instead of Boost is because the chest of Boost is molded in such a way that they can't just paste the Decade parts on top, unlike the other forms like Sparkling (or indeed Grateful) where those are already just pieces on top of an undersuit, so it's easy to just replace parts of the torso.

That would make so much more sense

On the other hand, you could easily make an argument that Mighty Brothers and Sparkling were used because you couldn't really choose between RabbitRabbit/TankTank; and you're just not gonna be able to put the Decade Armour over Mighty Maximum.

According to toy catalogue, the Flying Falcon Progrise Key are also used by Kamen Rider Jin and it seems the terrorist will be stole Flying Falcon Progrise.

So Drive's is likely Formula, Fourze's would be Fire, Wizard's would be Flame Dragon, & Gaim's would be Jimber(but idk which Jimber).

Jimber wouldn't work because it's just regular Gaim's suit, just the armor piece is different which Decade armor replaces with its own.

We know? This has been brought up repeatedly.

Really like the simplicity of the design with Flying Falcon. Extremely toyetic - pretty brilliant. Feels like a 90's action figure.

You know what....I'm just now realizing this is the first time ever that we'll see the last Rider of an era properly pass the torch to the first Rider of a new era, because it certainly didn't happen with Black RX/J (depending on your perspective) to Kuuga.

This truly is a momentous occasion. The first official Kamen Rider Era passing of the torch.

we knew both used Flying Falcon, but we didn't know if they both had one, or if Hiden/Jin stole it from Jin/Hiden at some point.

That was obvious, though. There are almost never more than one of the same transformation trinket in a KR show unless time travel.

While the show looks cool, I think I might bow out once Zi-O finishes. I'm just a bit burnt out from the show, with the exception of the Grease movie and Over Quartzer.

also Valkyrie punchline is : Try to outrun this demon to get left in the dust

EDIT : trailer with new scenes + henshin sequences and some henshin sounds : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkLHZBbp9vE

So the ShotRiser is just a TranSteam Gun that uses Porgrise keys instead of Fullbottles?

Ok.

Huh, it kinda is now that you mention it. :lolol

It is also used by the heroes instead of the villains.

It'll be a shame if its functionality is very limited, which is the vibe I'm getting.

So what do you think are the chances we get a fourth belt?

Considering this is only Q1? Guaranteed.

What are your chances that one of the hackers will join Zero-One and one remains evil?

And the vice prez being evil later on?

If Kamen Rider kinda keep some of its most recurring tropes, I would bet on :

- Jin turns good at some point (chose him instead of Horobi because he gets one of Aruto keys and he is always kinda smiling)

- Vice pres is the (real) comic relief. I see him be like Ohsugi in Fourze

- Aruto's Grandpa (and/or Father) is the evil mastermind and appointed Aruto as CEO for a reason

- Aruto is an advanced human-like AI (which could be some kind of funny explanation as to why he lacks something when trying to make jokes)

I know some of these are too much like Build/Ex-Aid/Drive, but Kamen Rider is Kamen Rider. Even if the era is new, I don't expect the show to surprise me on these points to be honest.

I'm expecting a big twist involving the main rider, since the producer for Build & Ex-Aid is working on this show. Maybe Aruto is secretly an A.I.

So apparently someone was able to hack the Flying Falcon ProgriseKey with just removing the lid off the Ghost Driver. Surprisingly the sounds line up quite well.

it was done by toyhappy as well using a den-o pass.

I highly approve of ripping apart the Ghost Driver.

Malice towards inferior belts aside, that's pretty impressive. It's nice to hear the Flying Falcon theme a little clearer too; I liked what I heard from that one Over Quartzer leak.

The band "Monkey Majik" will be providing Zero-One's theme song AND voicing the Driver/Progrise Keys.

Cool. I liked their theme for Cyborg 009.

So Takeiwa IS getting replaced! Yuya Nawata, who did Genm pre-revival and Chronus, will be suiting up as Zero One

So he exclusively plays CEOs? :p

I mean, he plays Geiz too so perhaps

Specifically, he played the second Cronus

I remember reading reports he went from Genm to Chronus right then and there, you could even tell as Genm's movements weren't as creepy yet Chronus seemed to carry that over

I can't wait for the Geiz v-cinema where he inherits the journalism company from Ryuki
