I like the color scheme. Purple-yellow are one of the best complementary color pairs, besides red-green and blue-orange. The combination of purple and yellow is what made KR Horobi's design so awesome. Shape-wise, from the teaser poster the armors seem to need a bit more sharpness and details to give it more oomph and a sense of aggression. I'll wait until a full body photo is revealed before making a conclusion. Speaking of purple and yellow, KR Gavv would look great with Bun Violet and Byun Diesel, haha.

The Driver, however, looks ugly. This could be the ugliest-looking Driver/buckle since Build Driver and Seiken Swordriver. It even has a similar crank lever like the one on Build Driver. The yellow teeth are the ugliest part. The pink part right under the Poppin Gummy trinket is actually a tongue. Perhaps that's where the "nutrients" from the Poppin Gummy trinket are absorbed by the Driver. The Driver looks like a creature, and it's munching another creature (the trinket)? So, the leaked photo several weeks ago was actually 80-85% accurate. It was probably an early design draft. And is Henshin Belt Gavv the actual name of the Driver, not a tentative name? It's a very generic-sounding name. I prefer a goofy-sounding name like Chompdriver or Munchdriver, haha. My 4 year-old self imagined what a KR with food motif would've looked like. Here it is, 20 years later.

Power-wise, I think KR Gavv's base form will be similar to KR Gotchard Steamhopper form, where the bouncy, gummy-based power will grant KR Gavv with speed, flexibility and superior jump height. The finisher could be a new variant of Rider Kick where KR Gavv initially do a regular Rider Kick, and then rebound (due to the bouncy gummy power), and then the right leg (the giant orange boot) opens and forms giant jaws that munch the enemy several times until it's completely pulverized. It'd make a cool-looking Rider Kick.

All main staff members have been revealed, with the exception of the writers. KR Gotchard's first look was revealed in the last week of June, teaser video and main staff members (including writers) were revealed in the third week of July, and press conference was held in the first week of August. I think KR Gavv's writers will likely be revealed on the same day with the teaser video. I've got a feeling that the main writer (or maybe even the writer) of this show could be a famous/star writer. The producers seem like deliberately delaying the reveal to build up hype and momentum. I'm crossing all fingers on my hands and feet that the writer would be Gen frakkin' Urobuchi.

My outlandish speculation (not hypothesis):
The Poppin Gummy trinket and other Rider Candies(?)/Sweets(?)/Snacks(?) are containers that store the souls of demons (Gochizu) that have the powers to possess humans and corrupt their souls. Or maybe they're gods? Gummy = Kami/gods(?).
