Do we know for sure that Tycoon is the secondary?
Is it possible Buffa is actually the secondary rider? Secondary riders typically have a blue color scheme when the main rider is red or orange, and Buffa is blue. Also, he's getting the toy push that a secondary rider would typically get, while Tycoon isn't getting anything major in Q1. Where did the notion that Tycoon was the secondary originate? |

I believe the leaks placed Tycoon as the secondary.
Also the fact that the toy listings have him sharing a power up with Geats. I feel like if Buffa was the secondary then he'd be taking that first honor, right? |

I think Tycoon is assumed to be the secondary because his face(?) came first in the PV when showing off the other Riders and he and Geats share the first major upgrade item. |

In my opinion, the reason is that Tycoon is a tanuki and he is the most obvious partner choice for fox-Geats. And with the third cat, they just form a triad of Japanese shapeshifter`s animals. Yes, and Buffa, as for me, is more purple than blue, and this is the color of villains.

I'm kind of curious if this series is going to be another one that explores what it means to be a Kamen Rider and watch the protagonist grow into a more "ideal" Kamen Rider over time, at least since the last Takahashi show had everyone basically yelling out what their Rider stood for and that kind of theme is usually a trend in Battle Royale Rider shows.
The protagonist is very confident and seems to be in it just for the thrills and to show off how awesome they are, but I very much doubt that will stick, especially when it stops feeling like a game. I'm also wondering how many Kaijin we'll get. |

I'm also wondering how many Kaijin we'll get. As for the kaijins, I think everything will be pretty classic. A dozen at the initial stage, then heels of a higher level and at the end a couple of bosses. |

What confuses me in the concept of the Royal Battle for Geats is that the preview says that the task of the riders is to fight monsters and save civilians. How will these same civilians react to the fact that their rescuers begin to fight among themselves? It is more logical here either to attack stealthily, or the concept of duels, when a rider can challenge another and resolve their conflict in a duel without exposing outsiders to risk.

To be fair, civilians in Rider series usually scramble and flee the moment a monster attacks. Assuming Geats follows suit, it would be pretty easy for aggressive/antagonistic riders to just wait until the civilians are gone to start fighting other riders.
And that's assuming Rider vs Rider fights will be seen as bad by the public. There could be some riders who gain popularity by being an asshole. |

Btw, do we have clear dates for when the belt releases in Japan? I thought I saw one image thay said "August 20th" but other sources are saying September?
Is August 20th the pre-order date in Japan perhaps? |
