There's a reason Girori is hellbent on protecting those secrets. The fucked up parts of DGP.

or maybe because of Girori's actions, the Round is void so dead riders arent dead for this round? Seriously...they can't just off PunkJack like that..
will Buffa side with the Jyamato so he can fight Geats? (would be epic if it leads to a final battle like Gaim's)

Well, the Zombie name isn't just for show. And if it happens, that'd mean more Baron reference on him to have a rival turned evil type.

Also, will either of the two new riders in the preview actually stick around for more than three episodes or for that matter will both of them actually survive until the end of thier first episode?

I don't see why not, for other reality shows besides DGP, the series focusing on DGP shouldn't limit any other ones like real life's varied choices on TV. I'd say, even the players are also "teleported" to other dimension for DGP's lobby, same should go for those rich people. Glare is only for Game Masters. Michinaga is a player - thus potential Jamato upon "death". Looking forward on how Michinaga will interact on discovering the greenhouse and DGP's inner work. Geats' pattern is that, Riders without unique accessories won't stick around for long (though Win is now killed).

Reiwa's trend of having troubled mid-production. Toei should focus on trying to prevent real world trouble mid season (albeit Coronavirus was inevitable for Zero-One).

But he didn't get to decide how to use his life in the end, as Giroli forced him to die for his will instead. We didn't get the chance to really know Win, but what happened to him was depraved as hell. I'm glad Niram kicked Giroli out of the world to stop him from committing further crimes.

And Girori's actor has received flowers. Dunno if Girori (if he still lives) would keep becoming Ace's dad or it'd suddenly end due to him not being a DGP Staff anymore thus isn't Ace's family anymore based on the wording. For Win, the more tragic part is him actually attempting to reform but there are no 2nd chances for him, and there's an implication about his grandpa being completely unfazed upon his death as well.

Don't you think that Michinaga would inevitably return though, as both one of the main Riders and Takahashi's "formula"? When he's killed, I thought it'd be expected that his "zombie" traits should come to play to bring him back. Though I guess you exclusively refer to Zombie Raise Buckle here, as other speculations talk about him returning as Jamato (including pulling a Tsurugi of his ego overcoming the Jamato's, or keeping his willpower like Lord Baron) or from Keiwa's wish when winning, which'd be how the unexpected happen here for Zombie Buckle affecting him.
