Sweet. Glad to see Woz made the cut.
Makes me wonder what we might see for the Time Jackers later. Kinda figured Woz was going to need a new belt though. Still looking forward to other new rider reveals, but Woz is going to be interesting to see. With his entire "being a servant of Oma Zi-O" schtick going, it makes sense he'd have a different belt. Love the new ride watches too. Quote:
Also interesting are the rider forms. Shinobi was expected, Quiz is funny since it references Rider trivia and also "Jeopardy" so it's very "Riders in Jeopardy". And Kikai seems to lean more on the mechanical translations of the word, but also seems to reference building new opportunities or creating opportunities(mechanism for an opportune future?). So it seems there's a word play hidden in his forms too. Though he may have one more form still not revealed, maybe two(besides any power up forms). So like his name, there are many meanings buried within. Like I said elsewhere, Woz is the Sebastian to Sougo's Ciel. Though to add to that. Woz is the harbinger of what was and will be. Going on this trend of watches though: There's the 'holy trinity' of watches, which is likely our main trio. But there are also atomic clocks, and now smart watches, besides the original watch of the future that was digital watches. So there still are some potential things to mess with in "new belts". Personally, I thought Woz would have been the Atomic Clock reference. Keeping time on track and accurate. But the smart watch theme fits him too. Kind of makes me think he might get an atomic clock power up later. Multi-layered naming like Geiz. So it's possible. And fits too with how he's seemingly the Sebastian to Sougo's Ciel, and by extension of the metaphor dynamic would mean he's the Wozniak to Jobs. Going off of what we knew of Woz early on, and how his name was also considered "Wars", it seems like they streamlined it to more meanings. "War" (pronounced "var") is a past tense word in german similar to the english word "was"(and is often translated as such). You also have the "Woes" pronunciation, and the english "Was", and the word play of "Wozniak". As in half of his name nodded, which also fits to that concept of Woz as the Sebastian to Sougo's Ciel, as he's only half of the name. So it seems like he was intended as a multi-layered word play of "Was" from the start, including his actions of maintaining "what was" for oma zi-o's rise.

Wait wait wait. So Woz is going to use future Kamen Riders to turn into "Futuring Forms"? Makes sense of from a 2018/2019 perspective, but from a 2068 perspective, wouldn't that mean that Shinobi, Quiz and Kikai are past Kamen Riders (before 2068)? Or are they from after 2068, like 2086?
I mean, let's say that (just an example in 2018) you live in 2068. You decide to harness past Kamen Rider powers and call them Futuring Forms. That's like you trying to put Kabuto or Blade or any pre-2018 Rider into a form from after their shows and call them "Future Forms". Shouldn't it be "Past Forms?" Not complaining, just confused about the logic of this. Otherwise, lovin' it! |

This was posted on a discord I was on, yeah chances are that these not actually designs that they are going to use for future Kamen Rider series

So that's where Kikai's design comes from. The other two were pretty immediately recognizable, but that one threw me for a loop. Thought it was Drive at first, but the Guardian head matches up a lot better. Didn't see that coming.

Any actual future accurate rider depictions we'd see in the main trio. Woz would be his history influenced versions of those themes. But Quiz is also a trivial pursuit. Quiz and Kikai are based on past riders though(Ghost and Drive mixed with other influences). Shinobi might be influences of a future one with elements of Ex-Aid and a dash of Build. Interesting how he has a kind of 'tv' head too. Granted it's evocative of a smart watch too. Also, the Geiz and Zi-O power up forms show us what those were on the hacked belt list, covering the 0000 and the Next. Last edited by Librarian; 10-04-2018 at 08:46 PM.. |

Quiz seems to be more of a retool of Sasword rider form from Kabuto than Ghost Ore Damashi now that I look at it closer.
