Wait, what? This is the actual final form? I thought it was a Televi-kun suit and people were joking.

I like how Reiwas has taken a step back and down on the final forms. Heisei was getting a bit gaudy.

I mean if you want to be technical, Rekka's Final Form is pretty gaudy when comparing it to it's standard form. lol

[GreenPsychoRanger]

But compared to like Genius and Muteki, it's downright plain.

[Enchilada645]

Oh no I'm not talking about Saber, I'm talking about Rekka, the sword.

It's funny how when you think about it we're getting a final form for a weapon instead of the actual Rider really.

In retrospect this was kind of obvious considering the suit of our (supposed) main villain is like 85% recycled parts.

I get it in some sense even if, to me, they're just lacking in that visual impact of a Final Form.

Ehh, I like it. That said, I guess during this Reiwa era it seems that whoever is now leading the rider franchise in general is taking the Frieza approach to ultimate forms. While Zero-Two was a totally new rider and this is just a repaint, the common element that I see here is ultimate forms are re-shaping the rider while taking it back to its core rather than adding more like I previously stated a long time ago when Zero-Two was revealed. It's as if said person who leads the rider franchise saw a bunch of Marie Kondo videos and applied her principles of trim away any useless clutter.

Zero-Two and Faiz Blaster are a good kind of simple while Cross Saber(don't really care for that name) is just a step above Realizing Hopper in terms of design.

I'm not a terribly big fan of this new trope of making the final form a new rider or very least treating it like one.
