I agree, Geats IX is definitely the finest in how it's executed. 2nd place would be Zero-Two for me. That said, I do like both forms now after a few more glances at them (loved master mode from the start). It's interesting how they went Kamen Rider Geiz with it.

Okay, guess I'll share my own Reiwa Primary Final Form Ranking as well:

1) Xross Saber
2) Rainbow Gotchard
3) Zero Two
4) Ultimate Revice
5) Geats IX
6) Gavv Master Mode
7) Gavv Over Mode

Usually, I'd wait until seeing a Final Form in action before judging it, but I can already tell from the clashing color schemes and minimization of food motifs that Master and Over Mode are going to be a miss for me. They look better than Build Genius though.

While I generally like Geats IX's suit design, the main problem bringing it down for me is the appearance of the Raise Buckle, even with its cool gimmick. It's supposed to be an upgrade to Boost, so I wanted to see more emphasis on exhaust pipes and motorcycle parts, instead of a fox head and tails.

I'll share mine as well since I figured it could be fun.

1. Xross Saber
2. Rainbow Gotchard
3. Geats IX
4. Zero-Two
5. Gavv Over Mode (I'm a sucker for giant fists and I do enjoy a good orange form)
6. Gavv Master Mode (Sorry not sorry, but the colors are more pleasing to me than Ultimate's)
7. Ultimate Revice

Funnily enough, for as much as I root for Revice, Ultimate is like bottom in terms of aesthetics for me. Admittedly, in terms of debut it at least has a leg up on Gavv currently when it comes to enemy lmao.

Like idk, a new higher tiered Gifftarian that can regenerate and prove really troublesome by handling multiple Riders for a few episodes with ease kind of hits harder than Bocca's business associate who gets a Bitter Gavv grafted to him and degrades that Dark Rider's status even further than it already has been and who is likely going to die the episode he debuts as a Rider in.

But those are just my thoughts.

My personal Reiwa Final Form ranking:

1. Ultimate Revice - Love the sleek and stylish armor aesthetics. Arguably has one of the best battle record among the Reiwa final forms when both Revi and Vice are together, with only Giff and Daimon providing any real challenge to them.

2. Geats IX - Cool and elegant, though I'm not a fan of the circle on his abdomen. Good battle record, though losing to Tycoon Bujin Sword knocks him down a peg. Thankfully Ace uses this form to defeat Regad Omega to make up for that.

3. Xross Saber - While it's basically the base form with a new horn and paint job, the end result actually looks cool. Having a final form exclusive weapon in years also certainly helps. Has one of the better battle records, sadly this form starts to job when Storious became a Kamen Rider.

4. Zero-Two - While the form wasn't bad looking, it's too simplistic for my taste, and I'm not exactly a fan of the head's design. Of all the Reiwa final forms, Zero-Two has the least amount of screentime, so his battle record is middle of the road.

5. Gavv Master Mode - The top half actually looks quite good, though I'm not a fan of the bottom half's color scheme as well as the big feet. May switch places with Zero-Two if he has a good showing.

6. Gavv Over Mode - I actually think Over Mode's color scheme is more eye pleasing compared to Master Mode, even though the large fists looked goofy. Like Master Mode, may switch places with Zero-Two if he has a good showing.

7. Rainbow Gotchard - Too bulky for my liking. Feels like a step down compared to Platina Gotchard. Also doesn't help that Rainbow has the poorest showing among the Reiwa final forms.

1. Geats XI

2. Xross Saber

3. Zero-Two

4. Ultimate Revice

5. Rainbow Gotchard

Will wait and see before fitting Over and Master Mode in.

In my personal opinions:

1. Geats IX. Not only is it a great-looking form in its own right, its elegant design also perfectly matches Ace's stylish confidence. The way he obtains it feels like a fitting climax to his character arc, and its power to recreate whatever gets destroyed in the fight shows both how powerful Ace is as the God of Desire and how he uses that power to protect the world. I keep rewatching its first fight against Suel because it's probably the best final form debut I've ever seen.

2. Zero-Two. Probably the best execution of the "improved base form" concept, and the process of Aruto obtaining it highlights his and Izu's dedication to each other. It only loses to Geats IX because some parts are bulkier than I'd like and the special effects around its powers were a bit of a letdown, I get that it's to show Aruto outwitting Ark's predictions but just ducking offscreen looks so much less cool than what Shining Hopper did.

3. (tentatively) Over & Master Modes. Might go up or down depending on its performance in the show, but from the images I like them as an evolution of Poppin Gummy and the assist gummies. I hope Over Mode is more of a penultimate form and Master Mode as the true final form, since my biggest complaint is Over Mode's unmoving fists.

4. Ultimate Revice. The zigzag teeth motif, bolder versions of the base colors, and the two looking almost identical (except for Vice's tail) are all really cool ideas in theory, even if the final result ends up looking a little cluttered. The magnetism powers do make sense in a way, but it's a stretch and they're underwhelming for a final form. I also don't remember how they got it (did George just build it for them?) which doesn't bode well for its place in their character arcs.

5. Xross Saber. It is pretty, but being mostly just a recolor makes it look lazy (which is sad because behind-the-scenes it's really impressive, the whole suit was hand-painted!), and the new colors even obscure the details that made Brave Dragon cool. Plus, copying the powers of all the other riders doesn't make Saber cooler, it just makes the others less cool, but I guess it represents Touma uniting the whole Sword of Logos or something.

6. Rainbow Gotchard. Even this one has good points, like the eyes (except that sticky-out middle bit), chest furnace and lovely shade of blue, but it's too bulky, the Gotcharbrothers take focus away from the actual riders, and it sidelines Houtaro's beloved partners Hopper1 and SteamLiner in favor of some new Chemy. What really drags it down is that Platina Gotchard already hit most of the same beats in a more satisfying way.

So, now that the gochipod is out, we can hear that in master mode it has attack sounds for Gummy, snack, marshmallow, Choco, candy, donuts, and cake. I know that some of these have weapons, but what do we think the rest of these will do, I'm thinking some sort of abilities.

Also my reiwa final form ranking is as follows:

#6 Ultimate Revice: It feels kinda bland, having Revi and Vice look almost exactly the same and both designs being bland. I honestly would have preferred if ultimate was the super form and for the final form we got Jack Revice and Thunder Gale, the concept of having Ikki and Vice combine but each one being more prominently in control feels like it should have been saved for a final form.

#5: Zero-Two: I haven't finished Zero-One, but the concept of having just a better Zero-One as the final form is really cool and the form changes just enough from Rising Hopper to clearly be different but still feel like Rising Hopper.

#4: Over/Master Gavv: I get heavy Kachidoki Arms/Kiwami Arms vibes from this, I don't really love Over Gavv as I don't love the color orange but Master Gavv looks good. This opinion might change after I see them in the show.

#3: Xross Saber: The form looks exactly the same as Brave Dragon but the colors are different. However, the colors of this are so striking that I can't be mad at them for just repainting Brave Dragon. I really like the idea of still being able to use form changes, however I wish it was used more with all the different main books. The form is supposed to represent the combination of all 10 Seiken and only Featuring Saber has books from other forms, even then its only Nagare and Ikazuchi.

#2: Rainbow Gotchard: This is the only Reiwa final form that doesn't feel like an upgraded base form, but that isn't bad. Rainbow Gotchard representing Houtarou bonding with Nijigon was cool. I thought the evolution of Gotchard's power set was the most perfect in any Rider series, we went from forms that combinations of two chemies with Houtarou (base and aux forms), chemies combining with a level number 10 chemy and Houtarou to boost their power (Super Gotchard), energizing the power of Chemies with fire (Fire Gotchard), using the power of a single Chemy that has become overpowered (Iron Gotchard), using two overpowered Chemies to access the abilities of other Chemies (Platina Gotchard), and finally one chemy bonding with Houtarou to create new riders and overpower other Chemies (Rainbow Gotchard).Rainbow Gotchard's form doesn't look great, but the story representation and power set are amazing. (Sorry about the really long Rainbow Gotchard rant)

#1: Geats IX: This form is my favorite Kamen Rider form ever. The evolution of boost becoming this ace (pun intended) up Ace's sleeve is so cool. Having this form have the power of creation while also having an almost angelic color scheme is so cool. I love that there are 9 tails on this form, just like a kitsune. It's color scheme even matches a kitsune. (I love kitsune and foxes a lot) Boost MK III is a really cool incomplete form that is like a berserker form (I wish it appeared more). Its also cool that Boost MK III is just a repainted base Boost form with he Kitsune color scheme. But when the buckle is split and Ace transforms, the bottom half of the suit is the Boost MK III body (which keep in mind is a repainted Boost body) and then a kitsune makes the top armor. Its so cool. I love this form so much, the story and its first fight scene help it to be even more elevated. The buckle is also sick, with the two halves revolving to reveal the nine tails and the fox face. And the Boost MK III half is on the bottom armor half, just like on the suit. Geats IX is just the best final form ever.

Sorry abt my login rants lol, I'm bored.

You know what, I guess I'll do a proper ranking of Reiwa final forms (though I think you all might've gotten the hints in my last post). From least to most, and elaborate more on my thoughts for them. Final forms with multiple subforms like Over/Master Gavv and Xross Saber will have letter designations alongside their number designations.

(6) Zero-Two: It's not an awful looking form. in fact I don't really think there are such a thing as awful looking forms. I like a lot of forms for a variety of different reasons. Zero-Two is a serviceable final form, especially in the context of it being a direct upgrade to Zero-One. But honestly? I like it way more when final forms have either a different silhouette from the base form or something incredibly striking about it. And Zero-Two is just Zero-One with slightly different shaped parts and the addition of silver to the color scheme. As a result, nothing about it really stands out that much.

(5) Ultimate Revice: Again, not awful looking forms. I like the clear parts, the addition of blue, the idea that it's armor over their Rex Genome suits, and I think the magnetic powers are really cool. But it suffers from the same issue as Zero-Two and that not much of the silhouette really changes. Revi's doesn't change much, just has pointier visors. Vice's does change a lot, but only so that he looks more like Revi now. Also, I don't think they ever use the cloning ability ever again after Ultimate's debut? It's been a while since I've watched Revice, so I don't remember.

(4b) Master Gavv: I like the look, it definitely changes a lot from the base form (armor pieces are more clearly shaped differently, so while it's a similar shape to Gavv PoppinGummy, there's still more noticeable differences between them compared to Zero-One and Zero-Two still have the same frame except Zero-Two has the fake scarf, and Ultimate Revice just having pointier visors), has an interesting color scheme (I don't think there's a lot of things with a purple/orange color palette), and I love forms that can use all the powers and weapons of previous forms. But... it does nothing to tell me that it's a candy/snack jar theme. All it is is just Gavv FancyPoppinGummy (and I will not stop using that as a nickname for it).

Not to mention it really doesn't look like it is a form that can use previous powers and weapons. Compare this to Blade King Form (has the Category Spade Rouze Cards on his armor as reliefs), Decade Complete (has the 10 Rider Cards on his armor), Fourze Cosmic States (has the 40 Astroswitch numbers on his chest armor), Gaim Kiwami Arms (has a fruit basket painted on his chest armor reminiscent of some samurai armors), Drive type Tridoron (being themed after the Tridoron itself and therefore is logically able to summon other Tires, though he mixes the ability of three Tires of the same type), Ghost Grateful Damashii (not a final form, but still a form that combines all previous 15 Eyecons, and has their faceplates painted on his armor plating), Build Genius (has the 60 GN Fullbottles that carry the essence of all 60 regular Fullbottles on his armor), GrandZi-O (has the 20 Heisei Riders as statues on his armor), and Xross Saber (thanks to how Saber's powers work naturally, and the only thing changing between base Saber and Xross Saber are the Seiken). Meanwhile, nothing about Master Gavv even implies that it's a thing. So real disappointing in that regard.

(4a) Over Gavv: When compared to Gavv PoppinGummy, Over Gavv has a much more distinctive silhouette, having essentially two PunchinGummy gauntlets, different shoulder armor, and similarly shaped yet different boots, and the color palette looks better somehow (I think it might because of the lack of blue compared to Master Gavv). Still suffers from being just Gavv FancyPoppinGummy, but less so than Master Gavv. Like I'm really letdown by the fact that both forms are supposed to be candy/snack jar themed, yet nothing about them tells me they are.

(3c) Xross Saber: I love Xross Saber's galaxy colors, they stand out so, so much that any frustration I have over it being a "simple" repaint is instantly squashed by how incredibly striking the colors are. Not to mention that Xross Saber is the first time we've had a final form exclusive weapon since Wizard Infinity Style's Axcalibur, which is an eight year difference between them. And it's the first primary Rider final form to have subforms for it, which I think is really cool and helps set it apart from other primary Rider final forms.

(3b) Crimson Saber: Everything great about Xross Saber but this time with Saber Crimson Dragon instead. Admittedly a downer that they don't have a new version of the Saber Crimson Dragon helmet and boots, it's just the same as Xross Saber.

(3a) Featuring Saber: Now this is easily the best one of the three Xross Saber forms, combining Lion Senki and Lamp Do Alangina with Brave Dragon. While it has the same issue of Crimson Saber and just having the helmets and boots of Xross Saber, this does a lot more to change the appearance. Shame that it only appears once, but hey, still a really cool form.

(2) Geats IX: An amazingly stylish and cool form for someone like Ace. Geats IX also fits with the Geats-style Riders' sleek and simple designs, and it had a great debut. Also a great example of how you can have a simple final form based around the base form, but yet still having a distinct silhouette.

(1) Rainbow Gotchard: Finally, a primary Rider final form in Reiwa that isn't just an improved version of the base form, and that it's instead a form that upgrades Gotchard overall (like Infinity Style, Ghost Mugen Damashii, and Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer). Rainbow Gotchard is so good, I love all of its different shapes for the armor, and the helmet being multiple arrows coming in from different directions? Perfect. And compared to some of the other forms, Rainbow Gotchard pretty consistently used a lot of the new powers and abilities that are used in the debut episode, the extensive use of alchemy to use environmental attacks, as well as Gotchabrothers (which was admittedly introduced right after the debut, but still).

... I might try doing a list of Gavv forms like this later at some point.

I'm pretty sure the clone ability for Ultimate Revice was only used in the debut. I would love to hear people's opinions on all the Gavv forms.

My list

1 Geats IX
2 Xross Saber
3 Rainbow Gotchard
4 Gavv master don’t care for the other
5 Zero-Two
6 Revice

It sucks that xross had to be just a repaint of the main rider form I wanted him to have the movie form or live show form as his final.

Geats had the best final form in Reiwa era so far.
