I really hope it isn't a dream-themed KR, because I've been working on an original toku-inspired story idea on and off for years now that's dream-themed. It'd be so goddamn awkward and stuff.

Oh boy. I usually use "snooze fest" as an insult for Toku shows that try to bore me to death.

This is a bad omen.

Not sure what to expect from this as far as themes go (I'm sure henshinzero has at least a dozen suggestions, though), but I'm going to go in operating under the assumption that the main Rider, at least, will be fully clean.

What does that mean?

You always have lots of ideas for what theme the next show should have.

Yep, sounds like the plural of Z in Japanese phonetics, Zetto.

Nice observation. Seems likely that it could be a pun on Z and zetsu. If it's dream-related, then I wonder what the Driver will say, since the Ghost Driver already has dibs on "Oyasumi".

You mean since it was preceded by 2 G Sentai and succeeded by 3 more?

Don't let it bother you. You'll always be the original.

Yes. G is a very popular first letter.

It feels so early, but considering Toei is pre-filming now, perhaps this is a sign that the show is going to start filming in April like I've seen some suggest.

My money is 100% already down on some sort of sleep/nap or dream/day-dreaming theme though.

That's my personal guess too. If it's indeed dream based, I guess the enemies will be based on nightmares.

Although, in fact, all three assumptions do not contradict each other and may turn out to be true.I wonder if the story of Gavv will repeat itself, when all the information about the rider almost immediately hit the net? In any case, I will wait for news.

I believe the Gavv Whipier is based on a rapier, in name if nothing else.
(I've also got an idea for a fanmade rider who wields a rapier)
