[Androzani84]

So fun fact, aside from the pre-established Saber/Espada books, the Ridebooks used to access Avalon are all SG books classified as “Douwa” (old story), along with a similarly classified ToysRUs exclusive (in case you forgot they never closed in Japan), which like Zero-One’s, is a giraffe item.

And here’s my attempt at translating the three jingles. (It was the first of my ever fluctuating favourite jingle with the Swordriver, but I won’t bore this thread with my other brief candidates beyond the eventual winner)

Old Story Rider! One Old Tale! The ancient tale gives more power to the sword!

Ancient teachings are not gathered here, a sword enough for one book! Old Story Rider! Two Old Tales! At last, the ancient tales are full-fledged with more power!

The old teachings are here, it’s time to learn the sword! Old Story Rider! Three Old Tales! The sword you can learn from the lessons of ancient tales is now here!

And now, a list of the featured books and their descriptions (since the SG books don’t have electronics, all but the first hail from Saber’s website, which incidentally, is the only way you can see what it would look like if Saber or Blades used them)

The Giraffe’s Repayment: A gift of gratitude created by a giraffe with a lot of heart...

Fashionable Mr. Jizou: A colorful Jizo road that is one of the best-dressed in the world...

Bakusou Rabbit and Turtle: A record of the prideful competition between a rabbit and a turtle...

Moon Princess Kaguyan: A beautiful princess shining on a moonlit night that emerged from a certain bamboo...

Issun (One sun) Samurai: Riding on a certain bowl, now wandering down the river…

Sarukani (Monkey-Crab) Wars: Friends gather under the zoea to challenge a certain devil's hand...

Okay, not all of these are Douwa books. Three of them are “San Tarou” (Three Taros) books, which may have some familiar motifs.

Three Taros Rider! One Taro! The legend of Taro increases the power of the sword!

The swords of the Taros intersect into one! Three Taros Rider! Two Taros! The legend of Taro gains even more power to destroy evil!

When the three Taros gather together, the swords of Taros destroy evil! Three Taros Rider! Three Taros! The brave sword with the power of three Taros is now here!

Great Shogun Momoichiro: A shogun who challenges a certain demon gathers friends. Ei-ei-o!

Great Swordsman Urashima Jiro: A swordsman carried by a certain turtle at a deep sea feast goes wasshoi-shoi!

Great Yokozuna Kinzaburo: The yokozuna screams "dokkoisho" when a certain bear falls in the ring!

(Translator’s note: Taro=favourite son, Ichiro=first son, Jiro=second son, Saburo=third son)

Calibur’s books are also identified by the website, but don’t have toys or descriptions, just images of the titles pulled from a reference book.

Mermaid Legend
Where’s the Chameleon
Honey Make Bee
Snake Toguron
Armadirolling
Pachi Pachi Yama

And now that Calibur has debuted his transformation sequence (which certainly has nothing to do with Kurayami toys hitting shelves), I’ll mention that each Rider has their own literary gimmick. Calibur’s in particular is translation. Aside from his transformation jingle “Get going under conquer than get keen” being a homophone for “Gekkou Ankoku Zangeki” (Moonlight Darkness Slash), when a non-Jaaku Dragon book is scanned against it, it affixes “Jaaku” (corrupt/evil) onto its name. (Though ones that didn’t have DX toys in Q1 are simply “Jaaku Monster”, “Jaaku Animal” or “Jaaku Story”, depending on their category)

And as for Legend Rider books, rather than going with something like “Jaaku Kuuga”, or reading Ex-Aid as “Genm”, they instead have every book Jaaku Read as their monster faction (Kuuga becomes Grongi, Zi-O becomes Another Rider, Zero-One becomes Magia and so on)
