Next Kamen Rider trademark listed: "Kamen Rider Geats"
|
Man, Geats is certainly a word. Is it like Geets or Ge-ats?
EDIT: Oh shit it is a real word lmao, the Goths from old Sweden |

It's also the clan Beowulf was from.
|
There's the Swede thing, but I wonder if its supposed to be a portmanteau of something (Revice) or a corruption of the reading of an existing word (Kiva).
|
My first guesses are vikings or like, goth culture. One is completely new and the other was only used for Kiva. Hoping it's the latter tbh, Kiva's aesthetic slapped
|
New Generation Geiz
|
It's definitely an...interesting name for a Rider.
|
Google says Geat is a Scandinavian group that Beowulf comes from.
Maybe they’re taking a page from DonBrothers and making a series based on a specific story. |
I bet the next rider will be something of a werewolf/lycan vibe, since Faiz/Takumi's Orphnoch form based on a wolf.
|
Vikings would definitely be a cool theme! But please no fake beards!
|
My thing about the Swede thing being unlikely is like....it just seems like a really weird thing to pull from? Even if they're only pulling the bare minimum from it (a Viking theme, maybe some names are taken from other clans) are kids really into that kind of thing? I'd feel like they'd be represented in some kind of way in some other piece of childrens' media at least once prior, like a lot of reoccurring themes in Sentai/Rider are. If they are to go deeper and are explicitly pulling from Beowulf...wouldn't some kind of familiarity with the tale (like with Donbrothers) be preferred? I doubt a lot of children know of it. That's just my two cents, of course.
|
My Money is on Beowulf/Viking theme, or alternatively that's a total coincidence and this will be a music rider and the name means "Great Beats" or smth goofy like that
If be interested in any of those themes tbh lol (Potentially worth noting, the kata is read "geets" and not "gates") |
This is a TERRIBLE name. It sounds absolutely UNCOOL AF, honestly. I rarely make mention of names, Revice was tolerable, but this name kinda sucks.
Methinks I am getting burnt-out on Kamen Rider. |

If the main rider will have some similarities to Beowulf, will we get a dark rider based after Grendel too?
We better have smartphones with apps based on Nordic alphabet too! |

We also know Toei does a lot of focus group research with kids so possible that for some reason we're unaware of kids are super into Vikings rn lol Recently we did have Valkyrie which is Norse themed, so maybe there is some interest in Japan for Scandanavian themed things??? Thor 4 is coming out soon? I know marvel is popular in Japan so maybe they wanna ride the potential wave off of that? I guess my point is who know's what toei is thinking, these people gave us fruit warriors and a phone shark, they do weird stuff lol, its hard to know what they're basing their decisions on a lot of the time, and idk what's big with little kids in Japan rn, possible there's something we're not seeing Still tho I wouldn't be shocked if this is just a coincidence and this is a pun on smth totally unrelated... it's a "we won't know until we know" situation I guess lol |
Geats is pretty goofy sounding to me as an English speaker, but I think a Beowulf themed Rider sounds really cool if they wanted to go that route! It seems just as likely it is some strange mishmash of words too though.
|
Geats = Gee-ats? Like Code Geass?
|
Japan does like shoving the concept/imagery of the Yggdrasil Tree into almost any game or anime that's fantasy related. There was also that Vinland Saga anime that came out a few years ago... Maybe Toei thinks they can strike a profit by digging deeper and trying something else connected to Norse mythology?
My next guess is it's another portmanteau, or maybe even an anagram of something? Gates (no wait, they did that already)? Stage? Getas? Honestly I'm sorta impressed by the name because outside of the literal definition, I'm completely lost on what this could be. All I know for sure at this point is that when the design gets officially revealed, my response is going to be "Yep, he definitely looks like a Geats." |

Anyway, as a Scandinavian, I personally would ADORE a Rider based on Nordic myths and stories. Again, it could simply be an in-name-only thing, sort of like Sigurd from Gaim or Odin from Ryuki. I'll even take the stereotypical horned helmets. |

can't wait for the geiz crossover where they argue about the similarities between their names
where my blade and blades crossover |
Beets?
|
A viking theme could be just as cool as Saber's knight theme. Think about it, a mighty Kamen Rider who fights for glory and honor. Skal!
|
Maybe it's not viking themed afterall...
According to twitter user @TheGespenst:
Quote:
It could still be a pun of some sort on the Viking Geats maybe... (or just Toei messing up spelling which would not be a huge shock...) But the Kata spelling not lining up and the lack of seeing anyone from Japan making the Viking connection definitely decreases the odds that it's vikings by a LOT in my mind anyways lol |
I really want Geats's main theme in suit design is Viking, just like Gridon and Sigurd.
|
Geats.
Geah-Tsu. Gear-Two. Aww yeaah, New Generation Drive! :lol https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NnQ8OfgOO...rive-Accel.jpg |
I'm going to wager that the viking theme is more to do with runes and glyphs rather than say ships and seafaring. A trickster Kamen Rider based on Loki seems inevitable.
|
Too bad the whole Norse angle looks like a bust. Gears as the main motif could be interesting, but honestly all that makes me imagine is the Gear Bros from Build.
|
My guess is that the show has nothing to do with vikings and "Geats" is either a gibberish title like Gaim or Revice or a very bad approximation of something that only barely makes sense in context like Ex-Aid.
|
Quote:
I'd guess it'll be smth like Revice or Ex-Aid where it makes (some) sense once we see the suits and show theming but not much sense in a vacuum If I were to do some betting... Maybe "Gears + Beats" for a Mechanical and Music themed rider, "Gears + Eats" for a Mechanical and Food themed rider, "Good/Great Beats" for a just Music themed rider? Or it could be none of those lol If it is a pun on gears I sort of hope we don't have another Robot/AI thing going on, I feel like we've had a lot of that ever since Drive... And Zero-One was so recent lol. I hope it's less robotics and computers and more like physical "Cogs and gears" style machinery if that is the pun |
It’s really not a “cool sounding” name to me, honestly. And my mind goes to “Geiz”
|
The most interesting part to me is that someone on Twitter actually found that the upcoming Gashapon listing for the gimmick allocated 8 Items to the set.
For reference, the last time Rider had 8 Gimmick Items for Gashapon was Wizard. Recently, Ultraman Geed, R/B, Taiga and Z all had 8 Gimmick Items for Gashapon. For one, it's pretty safe to assume that for most of the gimmick items the sounds will come entirely from the belt, and that we have either some gimmicks that will only activate attacks only with no forms attached (Like Wizard, R/B, and Taiga), or it will be a Geed/Z situation where multiple items are used for each form. In all honesty, it sounds pretty interesting. Maybe getting a gimmick like Build or Saber where multiple items can make a form or getting a gimmick that adds to the base form like Fourze or Drive would be pretty cool to see. |
Maybe the number 8 plays a big part, then.

While I wouldn't be shocked to see non-electric gimmick items again, and this reasoning seems mostly good, it's a bit assumption based... If you have the source though please share! I'd be very interested to see it :) EDIT: looks like the 8 items source is from Matt Hunt who is generally reliable, but what those 8 items means is all assumptions, fairly reasonable assumptions, but assumptions none-the-less |
Geats? Sounds a lot like Geiz. cOuLd It Be HiS aNcEsToR!?
In all seriousness, as cool as the Viking Theory (debunked though it may be), it's most likely just a name, since while the "gear" pun is not a bad guess, it would feel a little too close to Sentai's gear theme that's still going, though ruling out the possibility that Toei is trying to cash in on another shows theme (at least in a sense), since Build's Bottles could be seen as similar to Geed's Capsules. I'm going to stick with the weird name for whatever theme it goes for. (Though I gotta say, Geats is a very weird name, that will certainly take getting used to) |

Imo it does sound a bit better imagining it being pronounced by people as "Gitsu" rather than how you'd usually pronounce "Geats" in English Though... I keep thinking "Geats" kinds sounds more like an Ultraman name to me than a Rider name.... but idk if that really makes any sense? (I don't mean this in a bad way tho, it's just a random thought) |
