Ok, idea.

I keep staring at the silhouettes for the Heisei and Ichigou Damashii, and it just doesn't make sense to me. Ichigou looks normal, I mean, but Heisei...that silhouette is identical to Grateful's, or at least the arm is. What little can be seen of the rest is also similar, only the helmet being different. I also kept staring at the face design trying to figure out what it was and...

Yeah, I'm actually thinking Heisei Damashii is probably based on Grateful rather than being a normal hoodie type of Damashii. I mean, it makes sense. Just like Grateful seems to have the 15 heroic Eyecon's faces on his body, Heisei Rider could have the 16 Riders' faces on his with only a little alteration. And the helmet could probably be an unholy amalgamation of all the main Rider's helmets (i mean, those horns up top are already sorta suspiciously similar to a few other Riders').

If this is the case, it'll probably be kind of an ugly thing, but damn, now that I have the idea in my head I am super interested in what that would even look like.

Like, where is the Heisei Damashii even gonna be used, actually? I imagine Ichigou will be in the Ichigou movie, but that doesn't seem like the right place to break out a Heisei form. Is it gonna be at the end of the Legend Rider shorts? The April release date raises some questions...well, we'll find out before too long.
