Got some thoughts on Buffa Plosion Rage that I'm copypasting from a different website.

- Of course they would reuse the Buffa Jyamashin helmet for this. I guess this is why we don't get to see it actually appear in Episode 46, since I bet at that point they were beginning to film or work on the Geats V-Cinema. Seems to have new eyepieces attached to it, since it doesn't look like the normal eyes, and it's not Buffa Command's visor, either. Same with the cape, though they replaced the gold trim with silver (RIP Calibur Jaoh Dragon, first the helmet was repainted, now the cape, not gonna see that again for a long, long time).

- Speaking on capes, seems like the waistcoat's gonna be replaced with a untattered silver one. Honestly kind of wish we got two, like how Fever Zombie got a second one.

- The shoulders are from Command Twin, presumably from the Cannon Mode that got repainted/retooled for Tycoon Bujin Sword. Glad to see those get reused, too.

- Chest armor and arm armor looks like from the Ninja-Players in Ex-Aid True Ending, which Live/Evil Marvelous also used. Never really thought about it until now, but yea, figures that they would reuse a lot of the Ninja-Player parts 'cuz it's another Rider Trooper, meaning that they have a surplus of spare parts to reuse.

- Using the Monster lower half instead of the Zombie lower half is a surprise. I think it leads a little credence to the idea I made before that the Monster legs are probably one of the easier ones to move around in, save for the clown shoes which are absent here (RIP PunkJack Fever Monster, we're not seeing that again either).

- The retool of Gamedeus's shield to be a massive fucking hand is such a good idea for Buffa, it's a good evolution of Zombie's left claw hand. And the fact that he's got fucking chainsaw fingers too as a way to combine the Zombie Breaker with his claw? Fucking spectacular, great decision, I love it. I love how the strength-based Rider is now putting points into defense while still going with offense. Only issue I have is that the pinky finger of the shield hand looks kind of funky since it was clearly added on to make it a hand, when there was only space for three spikes before. The thumb of the shield hand looks better, since it's attached to the underside of the shield rather than the tip where the other fingers are. The pinky finger looks better from angles that aren't showing how it's attached to the shield like that pic (the Plosion Rage Buckle pic and the poster for the Geats V-Cinema meanwhile show how it's kind of awkwardly placed).

- Looks like the Plosion Rage Buckle itself uses the same sort of base that the Bujin Sword Buckle has, but significantly retooled (a bit more than we think). It seems to have the same sort of "keys" that the Zombie Buckle had on both sides, the hands are a very clear overhaul, and I think that the Buckle sides are inversed. Like the left side buckle of the Bujin Sword Buckle (huh, just realized we can shorten Bujin Sword to 'BS', hehehe) has the sliding mechanic and electronics, while the right side buckle of the Plosion Rage Buckle has the sliding mechanic and electronics (since I'm imagining that you turn the key on the right side buckle and make the new insignia face slide over the ID Core). Plus it would make the most sense, since Buffa's right hand would be the one that's free to activate the Desire Driver's functions.

- I think going with silver to balance out the light and dark color schemes of the four final forms was a good decision (Buffa and Geats being "light" with their primarily silver and white colors respectively, and Tycoon and Na-Go being "dark" with their primarily black and royal blue respectively). What I'm not really big on is how extremely silver-dominant the form, with the purple and red being curved vine-like lines (probably a reference to Michinaga's time as a partial Jyamato). I kind of wish that there were more solid definite organized patches of color that broke up the silver, like how Geats IX's silver and red neatly broke up the white, or how Tycoon Bujin Sword had silver accents to break up all the black. I dunno, I'm not really a fan of suits that make use of patterning colors like this. It's not the worst, but I do think it makes it kind of hard to look at personally.

- I wonder if/when they make the Buffa Plosion Rage RCF, if they'll do what they did with Tycoon Bujin Sword and Na-Go Fantasy and make it so that they have a lower half version that we'll never see. Would be pretty cool, I think, and also I would love to see Buffa with a big as fuck right foot.
