Everyone always asks "What is Geats?" but no one ever asks "How is Geats?"

Disclaimer: am drunk

Edit: Should probably comment something worthile since Cosmiccresant0 just posted new rumors;

The not sold on the promise fo bike action since Revice had a hover bike that has not ben used sincec the raid on the Deadmans hideout, the scarf being a fox's tail is a cool, and the gimick is whatever until I see it in action.

Also the rumored suit looks decent but the lack of scarf and nothing else looking like Kitsune leads me to suspect it's not Geats.

Also taht reminds me, what's everyone's guess for what teh villains of the series will be?

1) As some of you might know, Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing (the arcade game with the cards that you see commercials for if you watch Rider live) will be celebrating its 10th anniversary soon! As part of the festivites.........

So is this line:

Quote:

The visuals will be unveiled in full next week after the TV broadcast on July 24, 2022.

referenceing a Ganbarizing specific broadcast on the 24th then? Or are they saying they'll be announcing the card visuals after just "a broadcast"?

EDIT: as for the new suit "leak"... I think it looks alright (at leas what I can see of it) but does it look like a kamen rider suit to me? Idk about that.......

Like maybe it is and I'll feel foolish in a few days, but I'm sceptical, my gut is screaming "that's a random local hero!" lol

Most likely a straight commercial drop after 45. My stream's are usually laggy as hell watching the show live but I'm pretty sure Ganbarizing has always been on top of the whole "You saw the form in the show just now, now come play them in the game!" thing. Checking their socials, they've already got a card + showcase for Live/Evil's new form, which I imagine played on TV immediately after the episode.

Makes sense... Wonder if maybe this means we could get a cameo for Geats in episode 45 then to cross-promote the card a bit more?

Would be sort of funny if we just get a ton of news in rapid succession, like: 22nd cameo in battle familia, 23rd press conference, 24th cameo in revice + card reveal

Would just be goofy if we went from no info to suddenly a lot happening quickly in a row

Rapid fire news betwen the 22nd-24th is the only thing I can think of, honestly. The problem is, there's usually a "spoiler buffer" for movies to press conferences. (Well, maybe less of a spoiler buffer and more of the "Letting the movie have its moment before flooding the audience with more news", and "letting kids brag on the playground that they've already seen the New Rider while the rest of their playmates have to wait until commericals start rolling to get a glimpse". lol)

The shortest movie-to-conference period in recent memory is Zi-O, which took only 3 days. Of course, the conference can happen before the movie (see: 01 and Bulid) but it's super rare, yknow?

As for the Revice cameo......probably the worst time ever to do one? Revice is starting its final phase next week, after all. They've a lot of ground to cover, it seems. Personally, I would've done it this this week, when Sakura is falling off the bridge, I would've made it a more dangerous height to fall from, but have Geats break her fall or something, then swiftly slink away before she can thank them...

Personally, I'm reminded of the cool, otherworldly cameos of Ghost in the Drive finale. Again, we don't know anything specific about the Geats lore, only rumors and speculation about the stage and space. If you take them for the truth, he might just be on the news in the background, it will be the most delicate cameo in the franchise.
As for the new rumors: it looks like the fox is still true. Unless someone misunderstood and the Geats are actually a coyote or a squirrel. A scarf is cool, and it's time for Reiwa to get her first rider with a scarf.
Regarding the change of the lower and upper half of the costume: it's cool if the final form was spoiled for us so early (considering the traditions of the Reiwa, I won't be surprised). The costume is most likely a local hero of some of the Inari shrines.

Holy shit did the toy meeting happen last night because there's now So Much Information about the Driver + other stuff related to toys floating around right now (although, we *still* haven't got a official Q1 listing). Gimme a second to compile all this because it's a lot,,,

Firstly, let's go through every bit of the Driver leaks. Firstly, we have a drawn image!

Quote:

A drawing depicting the Geats belt and how it works with the varying collectibles. Geats uses the rotary dial-looking one (it has a magatama) and our Tanuki Rider uses the Ofuda like one (looks like a Rouzer).

A kind person has also drawn how they think the driver's pieces click together.

And as for the rest of the infomation this leaker has given us:

I'm of the opinion that it's fake (It doesn't quite look like a Rider suit to me?) personally.

same leaker also stated that this suit is real, however, it's Geats after he's had an "upper body form change" without any of the rest of armor pieces. (Basically, its an unfinished form change and not representative of Geats' main look will be.)

We've also had another suit leak, this time depticting a footsolider?
