Well one blog I followed just put up something that finally convinced me 100% that Graphite is GENM. I was already like 80 percent sure. But now. I'm pretty sure.

This tweet from Graphite's VA says that while Graphite is in his Bugster form at the start of the show, as the story progresses he will also appear in his human form. If he is a Rider, this makes sense. The biggest thing probably distracting most of us (or at least me) from thinking he could be a Rider was that he was a big green monster, so having confirmation that he will have a human form gets rid of that. And here's the kicker: the guy is actually pretty young and attractive, both diagnostic features of potential Riders. And for some reason I never bothered to check but, he's not a dedicated VA or anything. In fact Ex-Aid is one of his first acting roles from what I could find. Another, not as, but fairly common trait among main heroes in SHT shows lately is relative inexperience.

Added to the obvious Buggle Driver connections and...is there any possible way he's not GENM? Probably. But I for one am 100% totally convinced.

Of course...all this information has been out there for a while. The tweet itself is from before the show started. But I hadn't been paying attention for some reason. Anyway.
