So until the actual conference where they reveal information about Zero One, let's not go claiming Valkyrie's a female Rider yet. Remember what happened with Zi-O, where people kept saying that he was going to be a female Rider based on a curved chestplate and pink accents? Let's not pump ourselves up only to let ourselves down when it turns out Valkyrie is a male.

I mean, Valkyrie has more than the name. There's the eyes and coquette pose. Her default stuff is also either shared with Vulcan's gun or with Zero One's toy holder, implying that Toei/Bandai feel that this one Rider may need to get an extra push for sales. There's also the initial leaks saying the show would start with 3 Riders, correctly named the first 3 and their forms and mentioned that one would be a woman. That being said I'll buy 20 Lightning Hornet Figuarts
