Zi-O June Scans
 

*notices Zeronos*
I wonder how they'll play this one x)

Grand ZI-O looks better than in the toy catalog, as usual.

YUTO!!!

Please... please really be Yuto.

Also Grand Zi-O is literally Diend+Decade Complete+Kiwami Arms on crack. I approve of this.

Yuuto's actor probabbly will be to returns in Zi-O since he also have other role as Kiriya in Hibiki Tribute Episodes....

So Grand can pretty much summon other Riders? Nice.

The form's growing on me a little. It's certainly better than Genius, at least. Still... I think Tridoron is gonna remain the only time the final was the best upgrade.

And as I thought, no new weapon. So I guess the eventual figuart of Grand is gonna be the one that exclusively comes with the combined Saikyo/Zikan Grade.

All that aside oh my god I can't wait for the Den-O tribute. No returning actors it unfortunately seems like - otherwise they would have advertised it - but the Taros returning is still enough for me even though it'd be bizarre if they didn't.

Very curious there's nothing about Drive, though; even though Grand is here. I guess they're gonna use Geiz' Drive watch, but that makes me wonder if we'll get a Drive tribute at all since they don't need to get the Drive watch now...

Not bad on Grand Zi-O though I can gives a thumbs up because I also like Decade Complete. If both those forms get a chance to fight side by side with there respected actors then I’ll be a happy rider fan :)

Well we already had Ryotaro make an appearance, so why not Yuto. I wonder if Sougo and the gang will be like "you look kinda familiar?" when they see Yuto.

Den-O Arc! Den-O Arc! Den-O Arc! Den-O Arc! Den-O Arc!

The time has finally come! I loved seeing Rytuaro and the Taros in the movie, but it wasn't exactly the best showing for them either. At the very least I'm happy to see my boys getting a little more room to breath in the show. Since we got Ryutaro in the movie I had suspected Zeronos' actor would be the stand in for a Den-O arc. But since he was already on for the Hibiki arc I wonder if they'd bring him back again, or simply have the Taros take the lead this time.

I'm actually quite surprised most other people seem to have warmed up to Grand; I still really don't like it. The tiny upper body carvings are just weird, they all have symbols which would have been much neater. The white and gold is alright.

We live in a post-Hyper Muteki and Genius world. Of course it looks good in this context

It looks to me like someone trying to recreate King Form Blade but with a significantly worse baseline aesthetic.

Trying to find the... thumbs up button so I can smash it, but it's nowhere to be found.

So it seems Grand Zi-O Ridewatch is accessed after all of main Heisei Rider Ridewatch power is combined including from Geiz's Drive Ridewatch...

Sougo are finally have Grand Zi-O Form but he still needs to find Drive Ridewatch in 2019. Maybe Episode 41 and Episode 42 are for Drive Tribute. Maybe Gou Shijima will be appeared in Drive Tribute Episodes.

I would hope in that, Chase will be revived somehow.

I think it could be fun if Nakamura returns as Yuto cause they can just do the "You look familiar" "Ah, I get that" or take it further and maybe do what they did with Gavan/Denzi Blue/Battle Kenya and Shinken Yellow/Shelly(Geki/Gavan Type-G's partner) in some of the movies.

Ever since the toy catalogs came out, I always thought that the rider statues on Grand Zi-O would look significantly better once I see them as 3d objects and not 2d images, and these scans completely confirm that for me.

The gold and white look good together. It a weird look that they used the blade king form suit for Grand Zi-O. It like they ran out of ideas for his final form. I still like Oma Zi-O over this look.

I hope we get to see Kamen Rider Brain again! That suit is way too beautiful to only he used once.

To be fair, Blade King Form is the template for 'All Your Powers Combined' trope, so it makes sense why it is the template.

I'm surprised that Grand Zi-O actually looked simplistic. Also having it to debut around the final 10 episodes makes sense since it's OP as hell.

Although I do wish the powers are slightly limited to All Riders' final forms, but that would be too similar to Decade Complete.

So far behind on this season, what's new as I think Wizard or maybe Gaim was the last season I didn't fall completely behind on, but holy crap Grand is just...bad, like really bad. Shame, Oma Zi-O is a much much better look for him. Though I do suppose most final forms aren't as good as what comes before (though I'd argue for Infinity Styles, I also do think Ryuki Survive looks better than normal Ryuki).

MAybe for drive they'll do it like they did for Ryuki. In a Special that takes place between episodes 38 and 39. Although that would be weird because the
Den-Liner appeared before the preview for the next episode startet.

They'll just use Geiz' Drive Ridewatch and then go and complete the time loop in 41. Easy peasy
