[Tokumonkey]

Although I was in the "I don't think it's likely" camp, the suit has hallmarks of toku suit designs for female characters. Kamen Rider Decade embraced magenta, but Zi-O's pink accents are very reminiscent of female Sentai and Rider designs that integrate a traditionally-feminine color even if it doesn't make a ton of sense. (Like Kamen Rider Nadeshiko or the way female white Sentai have tended to be kinda pink a la ZyuohTiger, ShiroNinja, and White Swan.) The remainder of the color scheme feels less feminized than I'd expect for a female Rider suit; it reminds me a lot of Wizard.

What it doesn't have is the near-mandatory skirt (I'm assuming this is generally an anti-cameltoe measure), and I'm not used to female toku suits with the relatively large busts suggested by the base and Ex-Aid forms. As always, of course, this could just be a misapprehension based on the images we've seen; it could still be an exaggerated pec line.

I'm moving from a "not likely" to "I'll be surprised if it's not," which is really exciting.

It looks like both Riders have two of those wrist-mounted devices on each arm (presumably intended to look like wearing multiple watches), and those are clearly collectible widgets inserted into them. If each has two slots, it makes me wonder whether and how multiple Rider widgets can work together.

Decade simply turned into different Riders (and got a Final Form Ride thing that never made sense to me until I saw the retail toy line), but it looks like this show is going the route of creating original suits for Legend Rider forms, which is pretty neat, and consistent with things like Drive Type Orange. I'm into it.

The maybe-secondary Rider's theme isn't as clear to me as Zi-O's. I presume it would still be watch-related - I know someone above said "digital watch," but I don't quite see it, yet - but I'm drawing a blank.

I think the Belt may be closer in function to Drive's, which is to say it may not be what uses the collectibles. It looks pretty clear to me that the collectibles are the two wrist-mounted objects on each arm; I think the one closest to her left hand might be the "Zi-O" widget. That'd also be consistent with that early toy listing we saw, with the collectible looking like a circle. These are more detailed than that, but so is the Zi-O suit. The slot you're talking about is more likely to be like the kimewaza slot on the Gamer Driver.
