Maybe so, but in the rumours way before the show, and I beleive before any scans, we had rumours for "bat rider" and "evil rider" but the people spreading rumours didn't seem to know they were the same character? Or at least it was never made clear that they were the same. Also remeber the rumours that "Kamen Rider Live" was a good guy with a demon named "Evil" which is so close to right but also very wrong

To me it seems like there's a lots of half-truths in rumours, it seems pretty common honestly

I remember a zero-one rumour being that the gimmick items would be suit-cases, which nope, but there were multiple suit-case themed weapons, so it seems likely that someone saw some toy images and assumed the weapons were actually the gimmick items

I also seem to recall hearing a rumour that we'd get a rider named "Kamen Rider Flint" in Saber, and while that never happened soon after Flint was revealed as a character for Zenkaiger, could have been a coincidence but does seem like maybe an instance of crossed wires

Seems like it's easy for miscommunications in the world of leaks, and then once smth is leaked there's also the fact that the rumours get altered slightly as they spread and get translated into different languages, it leads to a lot of confusion and room for error

We have gotten toku rumours in the past that were so spot on that it was ridiculous! But it's always best to avoid assuming rumours are real, it's so easy to kill your excitement for a show by getting excited for a version of it that never existed, then being disappointed because what we get is different from the rumours people were excited about
