If I'm remembering correctly, the first major scans for 01 and Saber featured other riders. (AIMS duo for 01 and Blades for Saber) And yet, Geats is here alone, depsite the fact we're already aware of the fact of tons of Riders are coming, from both leaks and official teasing! What's going on.....?

Theory time!

1) As we already theorized, and given by Entry Form's continued prominence in the info we're getting, everyone starts off doing their best in challenges using Entry Form and whatever "low-level" Buckles they can find. (Water, Hammer, etc) We *will* meet multiple Riders early on(I'm confident we'll at least meet our Secondary and mayyyyybe our Tertiary in the first month of episodes), but Geats is the first one whom obtains a "high-level/signature" set, with Magnum/Boost. I doubt they want to advertise main Riders without their "signature" set of Buckles, so we're not getting any visuals of them juuuuuust yet.

2) Literally taking a page out of Fornite's book and the Grand Prix literally allows everyone to pick where they start off. Geats, for whatever reason, manages to pick a spot that fairly isolated from the rest of the contestants, so the first month of episodes is purely Geats focused as he just goes head-to-head with the Jamato while making his way toward a more populated area. (Far less confident in this theory, but whatever)
