Will Gotchard get himself a berserk form that's similar to a Malgam's? Depending if there's any hidden malice within Houtarou.

Dude i highly doubt he will get one, also please no I'm tired of berserk forms at this point

Fine no berserk forms.

Let's see if Gotchard will get not only Geats & Tycoon, but also Na-Go & Buffa. Plus Glare & Gazer.

Alright so it looks like we got more leaks/rumors from Color about some new Drivers coming in Gotchard (as always, grain of salt).

- The first is a Driver for Rinne which apparently the transformation is activated by a ring (most likely the alchemy ring or some variation of it), her motif is also apparently a nine tailed fox.

- The second is a mass produced Driver meant for the students of the alchemy academy, the Driver only uses one card.

- Lastly, there's a Driver for a villain Rider who uses 3 cards to transform. The transformation is described as needing to sacrifice Chemys in order to do it. This belt is also described as this years fancy, expensive, LED belt like the Demons & Vision Driver before it. Also like the Vision Driver, the belt has multiple modes. Lastly, the belt comes with upgraded Hopper 1 & Steam Liner cards.

Now for my personal opinion on these rumors/leaks, While some of this stuff is kinda out their, I could see these being true if only because Color has yet to be wrong on anything Gotchard so far. Also considering that nothing was talked about regarding Gotchard, Valvarad, and Legend, it leads me to believe that these most likely aren't necessarily part of the Q2 catalogue but are actually all P-Bandai stuff.

I do find it pretty disappointing that it seems like that low Rider count that was talked about in that one interview isn't something that's going to stick, although I could see this change being something that Bandai demanded. It's important to keep in mind that the writers are not God & that the producers, execs, and Bandai have way more say over what happens in these shows than some believe. I wouldn't be surprised if the producer/writers wanted for Gotchard to have a small amount of Rider but Bandai went "Uhh... No, more Riders = more money".

Anyway feel free to discuss guys.

I prefer a heroine to stay a heroine. They need not to be a Rider to be relevant to the story. And the motif is nine-tailed fox, after Geats IX just debuted several months ago? If the transformation trinket is the Ring, then this Driver would be this season's Laser Raise Riser. LRR also used a different trinket.

Also, no Driver for Spanner? I thought that the second Driver was for Spanner and the third one is for another character, possibly Minato. I thought the villain's Driver was the fourth or fifth to appear.

Where can I follow this Color guy?

I doubt that this series will end with only three main Drivers and one mass-produced Driver. When they said this series was gonna feature small number of Riders, I estimated it would be five or six in total.

He's a Chinese leaker that I'm pretty sure hangs out on Baidu. To summarize some of the notable leaks he's done so far: he accurately described Gotchard's base form with extreme accuracy weeks before we got an actual look at the suit, he mentioned that there would be 2 other transforming characters besides Gotchard himself in Q1 which turned out to be Valavarad and Kamen Rider Legend (we haven't seen Legend yet but at this point the rumors are probably true), he also leaked the vast majority of Gotchard's Q1 toys days before Bandai officially put out any official info/pre-orders.

Thanks. Just found his profile.

Okay so I guess this is what I get for jumping the gun on this and not waiting, because Color has provided some more detail:

- Okay so it looks like Rinne doesn't actually get a new driver but get's an attachment for the Gotchard Driver (different from Gotchard's end of Q1 upgrade) that interacts with the ring in order to transform (toy comes with 6 cards). Her attachment is P-Bandai by the way.

- Evil Rider belt has a 40 LED screen & comes with 4 cards. Depending on what Chemy card you put in to the belt the screen displays a different number. Also P-Bandai.

To be fair, the lower Rider count could still hold true, at least relative to the Reiwa era. Strictly speaking in terms of TV show Riders, Zero-One had about 8-10 (depending on if you consider certain forms to be entirely new Riders), Saber had 13, Revice had 11 and Geats of course had a bunch that are just way too many to count off the top of my head.

There's a possibility that the mass-produced drivers are more of a Riotrooper/Kurokage Trooper situation where they use Rider technology but aren't "technically" Riders. And given how specific they're being with the "Rider" title in this show, it's also a possibility that the villain uses a Driver to transform, but doesn't get the Rider title, much like Gold Drive.

If those were the case, our only "real" Riders could end up being Gotchard, Rinne's rider form, Legend and likely Valvarad

Modern Rider does love it's core four main Rider group.

I just find it kind of skeptical they'd have a nine-tailed fox Rider so soon after Geats.
