Okay, so a lot of Zeztz news that the leaker just dropped:

Main color scheme is actually green, red, and black, in homage to Ichigo.

One big change: Apparently internally Zeztz was referred to as a "Metal Rider" but the overall look has a very biological appearance.


Main plot seems to be set in a dream? It's unclear if dreams are part of the setting or perhaps the story itself takes place in a dream. (Leaker mentioned Paprika and Inception as examples)

Form changes are "simple" and the look of Zeztz is really simple, with muscular detailing instead of armor. Zeztz legs look Grasshopper-like and his boots look like sneakers. Mentioned that Zeztz has a very "Sports" oriented look (not that sports is a part of the theme). The face looks a little like Kamen Rider Century.

The Belt (really just the shoulder strap) makes Zeztz look like he has an Ultraman color timer. It may have pure English phrases like Zero-One

The Rider Machine can turn into a robot like AutoVajin and has the Cyclone's colors.


Now for the kicker: The leaker dropped hints that the writer might be Yuya Takeshi (and the producer is possibly Yousuke Minato)

That's all for now. Still nothing on the gimmick or theme for Zeztz.

I really hope Takeshi isn't the writer. While I have enjoyed some aspects of his stories, he has been writing Toku for about five years non-stop (he wrote the Presidents special, Zero-One V-Cinema's, and has been the main writer for Outsiders).

Would be nice to either see a new writer or someone who we haven't had write a Toku show for a while, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

Not sure how I feel about the changes. I was really on-board for a Cyber-Tiger Rider that got leaked at first, yet another Grasshopper rider with a minimal silhouette/simple form changes doesn't sound even remotely as interesting imo.

EDIT: The leaker also has stated that helmet design looks like a fusion of Revice and Century's helmets. Almost like the Vision Driver Riders. Not sure if this is actually provided by the leaker, but the below is a supposed sketch of the head design:
