(However, if it does wind up being Beowulf themed somehow I'll type up a formal apology lol) Quote:
While "Axe Wolf" on it's own sounds cool, it does sound absurdly build like to me so idk... We also had a wolf themed secondary rider so recently.... |

Saber was also originally drawn in the Build style. As for repeating the wolf theme, there was only a year interval between Ryuki and Blade, and both shows used the card theme. Well, some animals generally appear in almost every season. |

Ryuki and blade are close, but their cards are thematically different from each other, and some animals will always be popular to kids so it makes sense we get those repeating a lot but this just sounds like Build's system of doing things 1:1, I'm sure if this does turn out to be true there would be some nuance to differentiate them, but if it's really non-electric gimmick items, where you put two items in the belt at a time, and you do combos between an animal/alive themed item and an item/not-alive themed item, that would just be super funny to me bc of how clear a repeat that would be Build was a very high earning series financially speaking, so I wouldn't really be shocked if they just wanted to do it again (I've heard rumours that revice is selling badly? I don't know if that's true, but if so them going back to something similar to what sold well in the past makes some sense) Tangentially related, if they do copy Build personally I'd like to see Muto return as head writer at least (I liked build even tho it does have some issues, but I'd really like to see what Muto could do with a second series now that he has some toku writing experience under his belt) Last edited by TheJaz; 06-16-2022 at 02:58 PM.. |

The constant talk of Beowulf and Vikings doesn't necessarily annoy me, but a part of me wishes we had more fake art to go around with it. Remember the fake art we got for Saber and Zero-One?
Side note: I still believe "Wolfessor" deserves to be a thing in KR, that pun name is too good. Another side note: Man, imagine this guy with the Xross Saber repaint, that would've been sick! |

I'd say function wise the Gamer Driver from Ex-Aid is a lot closer to the W driver, but they're still quite different thematically (again as an example "Luna" would not work as a Gashat theme) But if the Wolf Axe rumours for Geats and the assumptions made about the 8-item set of Candy Toys are true then it would be much much more similar to Build than Build is to W, since it would be:
I just can't think of another gimmick line that's quite so similar to a previous one... Like in reference to my previous examples this one would feel weird to me because "Wolf Axe" could just be a Build form and no one would bat an eye, it matches the theme pattern so it feels weird. The only other ones I can think of that're close are W and Ex-aid... And honestlh even OOO and Saber (non electric belt peice the holds gimmick item, electric piece that scans gimmicks with nfc, 3 gimmick items) but in that case the set up for the belts is very different, the theming pattern is different (you wouldn't have a Wonder Ride Book just called "grasshopper" or an OOO medal called "King of Arthur"), and the gimmick items do have sounds for saber while there's no lights or sound for OOO Like even in shows that can have something in common... Like... OOO, Build, and Revice are all shows that could have (and I believe do have) a Gorilla gimmick item. In this case the belts all function very differently from each other, as do the gimmick items, so it's not so 1:1 as what rumours are saying for Geats And again I'm not saying they wouldn't differentiate them, I'm just saying it feels like if these rumours are accurate it would just be more similar than usual, with multiple elements lining up, rather than just like one similarity, and while that does make it's legitimacy feel a little more doubtful to me... it's definitely not impossible that they'd just copy an old gimmick line almost completely... Toei and Bandai like money, if they think doing something like build again will make money, then sure, they might do that EDIT: I also want to clarify, even if they do wind up having ridiculously similar gimmick themes and function, I do have a level of trust in bandai's toy designs that they will manage to make them feel different enough to feel like a new toy line; it's very possible the gimmick items as toys will do something very different from fullbottles, and that'll make them feel more different even if the theming is weirdly similar. Also I'm sure Geats would be able to have it's own identity as a show. Overall, how similar the gimmick line is to build doesn't need to affect the quality of the toys or the show, I'll just find it sort of funny if they're as similar as rumours are making it out to be Last edited by TheJaz; 06-16-2022 at 03:54 PM.. |

I'd be curious to see the end of year report for Revice when that comes out, we can't garner a whole lot just from the first-quarter sales
For Instance Drive has higher first-quater sales out of: W, OOO, Fourze, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid, Zero-One, and Saber. But drive actually has the lowest total sales of any of those shows. [Edited due to an error and to better clarify] Last edited by TheJaz; 06-16-2022 at 03:55 PM.. |

To be fair, we did have Blade that was on a face-value level almost the exact same as Ryuki.
Both have "Base" Animals for the individual Rider's for their unique theme. Both have cards as their gimmick item themed after animals that are used for attacks. Both used combinations (Ryuki: Weapons and armor/Blade: Combined Finishers) On a very basic level, they are extremely similar, but in retrospect were going for very different themes and the shows went in very different directions. I'm not saying that it's wrong to compare Build and Geats, the rumors certainly make them sound very similar, but I would not be surprised if we had a similar situation with Ryuki/Blade, where they sound like they have nearly the same gimmick, but end up being different enough not to feel like a repeat. |
