Congrats on your 200th post anyway.

Why thank you! That's actually a good point though: With Gotchard having fusion forms instead of mix and match, that at least limits the combos, although Build only had 30 combos + 2 Legend Rider theoretical combos + I think 7 full bottles specifically for Legend Riders, so only 32 (Plus 7 halves)s were outright unique forms, whereas every other form had to be mix-matching. If 100 cards had their corresponding forms, that would imply 50 unique forms rather than mixing combos. Even so, I don't think all cards will have a Gotchard form, but rather other Riders may use a card as their default form. We could have a Revice situation where the main rider uses the majority of collectibles, and the others are distributed amongst other riders in any amount.

On the other hand - get the name of the tertiary, not even knowing who plays the main one? This is either a lie or a planned leak to test the reaction of the fans and become more like Ultraman.

To be fair, there has been no reason to believe that Gotchard will have the same Revice style of having forms directly reference past riders. Also, the rumor of Decade being in the show doesn't stem from Inoue being in the show, it was a Chinese listing of Gotchard-related items that listed one of the belts as something like "Gotchard Decade Driver" (paraphrasing the translation). So rather than Inoue showing as a random character, the belt is basically called a Gotchard-Decade Driver. What that means or implies really is up to interpretation, and the listing could easily be a misunderstanding (literally they had two listings for Fantasy buckle, one being labeled Type A and another Nago-ver, when that turned out to be false). Literally everything regarding Decade's presence and Inoue possible casting originate from the listing and Ironheng, both of which have mixed track records.

It would be amazing to see Decade have the role of say, Ultraman Zero's appearance in Ultraman Geed, but really there is no way of telling for the time being until we get a leak.



Also, a random thought but it struck me as interesting that Gotchard is the only other Rider besides Revice that has only the main Rider(s) on the poster and the first Reiwa Rider to have his bike featured in the poster. I kind of hope that it takes the Revice approach of only 3-4 max riders in the first quarter, and adds later if necessary. Maybe we'll also see more bike action!
