Going on-topic of Saber, leaks suggest that Saber's super form is called "Dragon Star" and appears to be a bookmark/lever that plugs into a WRB (dunno if an existing one or exclusive to Dragon Star) and then a new sword for Saber. With Blades having a "Northern Lion" upgrade that is going to be obtained from the previous Blades.

Sorry about that, Rei. I'll note your name for future reference.

The word you're looking for is probably "androgyny" which is pretty close. I also count Naki as a girl based on appearance.

If Saber's power-up has a bookmark then maybe it has a similar function to the sword crest on King Lion Daisenki? I'm curious about Kenshin, the previous Blades. He hasn't appeared in any of the flashbacks with the other Riders of 15 years ago.

He probably was killed by Zooous before the main Saber vs Calibur event from 15 years ago.
But it's true he never appeared in flashback even in the headquarters or anything (while Kamijo and Hayato did with Daishinji and Ogami).
Maybe Blades users are kind of a very "solo" side branch/clan or something

Source?

Yeah, that's what I was assuming, that Zooous killed him before the events of that day. I would like to see some flashback interactions between him and the other 4 in Northern Base, or even just acknowledgement from them that he existed. As for Blades users being solo, that doesn't really seem like Rintarou at all. Maybe that's just how Kenshin preferred to operate.

I feel like I might have derailed this tread a bit. I'm sorry.

After Saber possesses Saikou in the coming episode, will Saikou pass himself to another swordsman as a means of each one returning to Touma's side?

I hope Blades is next. Hope he doesn't forget the promise from Kento to look after Touma.

After Blades will be either Buster/Slash. Kenzan will be least as he'll probably go Megid like Desast in some way.

Yeah, I suddenly got a bad feeling about Ren after he tried to attack Mei. In his Retsuden episode, Desast said he was one of them so maybe you're right.

I just looked around but unfortunately, all I could find was the citation from the often incredulous Rider Wiki. However, I couldn't see anything that contests it either. And I'm not confident that I'll be able to translate the whole interview myself.

If Riderwiki is what's being relied on here... yeah, I'm not trusting that. Seems like something they jumped upon without context.

They have a very consistent habit of doing that, in my experience. Good chunks of info on there tend to just come off as fabricated, unverified, and at times fan-fiction-esque.
