Anyone ask for a second poster?
The text on the left [私はアフドリヤン 私は何も知らない] reads: I'm a Ahdryan*, I know nothing. (this is most likely an incorrect translation and probably refers to some made up word Geats will use in its terminology, since googling it doesn't bring anything up) Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, there's a good chance that it's actually a fake "English sounding" word Toei made up since its in Kata to begin with. In which case it's possible it is supposed to be pronounced "Ahdryan" or even "Adrian" and they just did the Kata weird?? She thought this was interesting because we really won't know how it's said until we hear it pronounced in show (though people in Japan would probabaly be inclined to pronounce it "Ahudorian" if they just read it). But in any case, what it's meant to mean or sound lile she has no idea. If I were to make a personal guess I'd say "Ahudorian" is likely what the "Game Players" / Riders will be called this season? Or could be some kind of being in-universe. I do like the tone of a lot of the text we're seeing... "The game to save the world" "I am [an] Ahudorian. I know nothing" It all has a cool vibe. On another note, I want to make an early prediction (/gamble). I think it would be cool if it is a battle royale, but all the players voluntarily give up their memories before the fight begins. This could lead to some very interesting dynamics if the cast are all people who know they've agreed to fight but don't know why. We could get reveals of what people were like before the battle and see how different they behave now that they've given up their own history. I think it would tie well into the "I know nothing" line as well as the flyer making it sound like some origin story content may be saved for the winter movie This is of course a total shot in the dark though, and it's more of a day dream than a real theory lol Last edited by TheJaz; 07-21-2022 at 02:12 PM.. |

Two more things I just noticed:
1. Geats' ears are hollow, and look more car-spoilerish (wonder if that's intentional). 2. I just remembered that there were rumors saying that his base form is called Trigger Thrust, and separate rumors saying his cameo in the movie involved a lot "Gunslinger-style fighting." If these are true, I wonder if the dial-looking item on the belt is also supposed to resemble a revolver chamber. Would make a lot of sense if his base form is called Trigger (revolver chamber on the belt) Thrust (Bike handle on the belt). |

Alright, self... You like the suit again. Now actually remember to watch the show as soon as it starts or you'll fall hopelessly behind and not pick it up. Again.
But I do really like it. Turns out I might have a soft spot for the split colors designs lol. Hadn't even noticed the thrusters on his legs at first. But that and the handlebars on the belt have me intrigued to see more of this motif. Top of the head kinda reminds me of a bike helmet too.

Excuse me what is this and why does it look so awesome?
Also, that sure is - a gun. As in, it looks actually lethal. And I just noticed the engine feet, that's cool. Driver seems to called the "Desire Driver"? |

Geats' twitter is live! Have a key visual!
Some beats from the movie pamphlets: Geats' civilian idenity is Eisu Ukiyo(? someone double check that) (浮世英寿). Him and other Riders fight in something called the Desire Grand Prix. (デザイアグランプリ) There are mysterious enemies are known as Jamato (ジャマト) Apparently, by fighting monsters, saving people, and surviving in this game, Riders earn points. The end goal is so that the winner can create the "ideal world". Apparently, Ukiyo* is someone unhappy with his current life, so he decided to participate in the game.

That's a much more flattering picture of our hero though!

Oh hell yes, I like this visual waaaaaaay more! Looks awesome!!
The plot summary sounds kinda "teen edgy", but I mean that in a good way I feel very excited for this core premise for some reason... maybe I'm still an edgy teen at heart |

Takahashi every 3 years now, huh? However, the producer this time is Takebe, instead of Ohmori, so it might be sufficiently different from EX-Aid and Zero One. Even so, I hope we get some reliable secondary writers as well though.
