What are the odds that Gaim would use "lock seeds", that if mispronounced (which is apparently a very common thing) would end up being the word for "six"?

And now Drive has 7 tires?

Decade - 1 card to henshin
W - 2 memories to henshin
OOO - 3 medals to henshin
Fourze - 4 switches to henshin
Wizard - 5 fingers (hand) to henshin
Gaim - 1 lock (mispronounced would be the number 6) to henshin
Drive - henshins with 7 tires on his body

That's just too easy to connect the dots to not have it be slightly intentional.

Except that in no instance ever during the course of Wizards run was that W pronounced as a V at all nor was the word spelled that way, and in most instances his name "wizard" was never even uttered. Only in cross over movies was the word wizard even used and it was pronunced properly. In show the Japanese term "mahoutskai" rather than the proper name Wizard was used, even by wizard himself. Characters did not actually call him Wizard outside of crossovers. Just like Gaim isn't called a Kamen Rider unless he's in a team-up film.

People are speculating 7 tires based on one blurry image of the Drive suit. There isn't even confirmation that's a thing. Again, the gimmick was henshin devices, not minor suit details. Wizard Gaim & Drive do not use a number of items to become riders. Saying that it's a clear continuation because Gaim wears a lock that if you say the word incorrectly means 6, to me, is silly.
