just like blade

I'm seriously having a hard time accepting him

Hmmm...I think i'll pass this one and wait for next year's Kamen Rider Series..

Ah~ So his theme was rockets in the end. I knew the logo looks like a space shuttle.

Seroiusly?! An astronaut?! I agree with the comment above about waiting for a year for the next series. This feels like the writers are out of ideas to come up with this.

Wow, I don't know what's more laughable, the actor or the suit.
This years rider is going to be.... 'interesting'.

Oh come on, remember what people were saying about Double and OOO. Every year people comment how stupid this series is and says they'll never take it seriously. I'm just saying we give it a chance. Besides I like the whole astronaut theme....even if the head design is a little.....questionable

Aaarrghh..they destroyed the Kamen Rider...(T_T)

His rocket head is so crazy I've actually come to really like it, but what's up with his henshin belt?

It looks so bulky and overly busy.

cmon guys..give him a chance..maybe the storyline will be attracting rather than his appearance..

i don't care about how the new rider looked right now... i just want the same excitement i feel when there is a new form coming out. by the way, the one on the "left arm" looks like the HENSHIN BELT of KAMEN RIDER SAGA.

sorry, my bad, its the RIGHT ARM that looks like KAMEN RIDER SAGA. hehehe

He kinda looks like Skyzel from Space Ironmen Kyodain.
A tribute to Ishinomori-san perhaps?

I mean it is the 40th anniversary of Kamen Kider and the 60th anniversary of Toei.

We may or may not see shout outs to other shows in this series.

As for the suit design.. Eh, it could be worse. Not horrible by any means, just okay.

Like any rider suit I have to see it in action before making a judgement call.

It bothers me that no one has commented that it isn't Takahashi Tyuki playinh him, but Kisaragi Gentarou.

the belt is SOOOOOOO BIG. -,-"

Ugliest Kamen Rider Ever!

Hahaha.. great! It must be a heavy suit (sarcastically > the belt).. Look forward for this line story series of KR..

I wonder what the hell is up with that belt and can't wait to see him HENSHIN! and see his other powers

Kamen Rider Conehead! X3

ready for take off

3...2...1...

henshin!

blast off ^^

if his henshin goes like that i have a new message alert tone hahaha

hey see his hand and leg...is the ps controller symbol ..is circle,triangle,square,and the cross symbol....

THATS A BIG FAT DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WILL GET SOME POWERS FROM RPEVIOUS RIDERS,THEN WHY THEY THINK ICHIGO IS IN FOURZE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANNVIERSARY RIDER SERIES AND IT CANT BECAUSE NEXT YEAR ITS 41 WHICH MEANS ANNVIERSARY OVER!

Kamen Rider Fourze = Kyodain Skyzel + Bakunnin Rocketman + Sony Playstation...

Yes the show could be entertaining, yes the plot can be good, but that doesn't change the fact he has A.ROCKET.FOR.A.HELMET.

Also the belt is too fucking huge!!

Anon@9:11 PM -- I think that's the name of the character, actually?

Laugh My Butt Off with these comments!

So, anyone remember the first comments about the Decade, W, and OOO design? The first reactions about the new rider it's almost always the same, the people always thinks they are: "horrible" "hard time aceppting him", "laughable", "Kamen Rider Destroyed", "bulky", etc...
The fans always have a hard time acceppting the new Riders because all will miss the Old Rider who gave us a lot of moments. But when the time pass, they accept him and come to love it...

Just think after say anything and think in how the people say OOO look like a traffic light, or W being two person, who anyone like it at first.

I like Fourze, the Rocket-head design looks cool and funny, he remind me the Old School tokusatsu Heroes, and can't wait to see the new Series ^^

Fourze looks like a pretty cool rider, essentially for the fact i'm a big fan from Megaranger/PR in Space. I'd love from a team up from both of them :D.

UltraJames can be right, but in my case I love OOO and W sice the first time I saw them. And Diend that I hated when saw for the first time, still, for me, one of the ugliest riders ever!

Somehow I was guessing this would be like Super-1 this whole time. First the rumor about arm changing, and now he's astro-themed. This should be interesting

YES! i can accept him Seriusly I can! ill just never look at his head for the entire year of his series.

I cant help it. It just feels weird.
he looks like an old robot.
which i like, but somehow it is just disturbing.
he has something... even thought i dont know what.

btw. does anyone else see him turning into a rocket and ramming headfirst into an enemy?

DJ is right, this seems to be a homage to Super-1.

What confuses me is the four switches. Assuming two of them are for arms, the other 2 must be body & legs. This takes the mix&match system of forms to an extreme, surpassing even OOO. I predict that the next Rider MUST be simplier.

This is a disgrace and i personally think this series is probably gonna end up being worst then hibiki's

I'm laughing at these ridiculous comments. You can't judge something from looking at a picture. The Kamen Rider fandom is a terrible fandom, learn to accept change and give things a chance. I like all the Kamen Riders even if they aren't as good or copying the previous guys. Change is good as change expands what Kamen Riders can do and the powers they have in future. Besides, a literal rocket punch is awesome.
Remember when W was coming out? Everyone hated the design and he became quite popular, same thing happened with OOO. I doubt there'll be any change here. They wouldn't approve something if it wasn't going to work otherwise they'll not make as much money.

If you look closely at the second pic you can see a blue X and a yellow triangle on his ankles, to go along with the red circle on his right arm (I'm gonna go out on a limb and say his left arm probably has a green square).

I'm guessing he has a separate weapon for each limb. The "Arms Switch" system seems to be less form change and more like Kamen Rider Birth's CLAWs.

The appearance will definitely take some getting used to but overall I'm liking the concepts behind this rider.

I think I'm going to approach this season with a "Sure, why not?" outlook.

His helmet looks stupid, his belt is really big and overly busy, the rocket arm looks silly, I'm honestly not sure why his arms and legs have the Sony Playstaton button icons on his arms and legs (since they don't look like any kind of ports a weapon could attach to)... but I've seen weirder stuff, so I might as well bid a fond and loving farewell to my beloved OOO and just go with Fourze.

At least the Rider Switches idea was false. I mean, seriously, what the hell would be the advantage of being able to equip Kiva's left arm, or Hibiki's right leg? Decade already did the "pulling powers from past Riders" angle, and doing the same again would just be really weird.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKK

After the AWESOMENESS of Double and EPICNESS of Ozu we get a fucking PIECE OF SHIT. SCREW IT.

ok. ok.. ill take that.. but if this rider doesnt have any second form..ill just wait for the movie of eternal.. and re run old riders..

LOL, look at Ozu's face. Totally ":|"
I guess he's thinking something among FUCK, THIS GUY'S STUPID.

I wonder what the next Kamen Rider is gonna look like

Decade/ShadowMoon comment on W = "A Black/Green Rider?".
W comment on OOO = "Three Horizontal Color, fascinating".
Probably OOO comment on Fourze = "OMG Ankh, he got more combos than us".

Give the kid a break i never doubt a kamen rider no matter how stupid he looks im a KR fan forever. ETERNAL HENSHIN HERO

I know, the plot will probably be awesome, the characters too, I like how funny the main hero look. Reminds me of these older anime, like Yu yu hakusho and Slam dunk. Maybe the secondary rider will look great and everything, I know. But I CAN'T UNSEE THIS ABOMINATION OF A ROCKET AND GIANT BELT. I can't.

and i thought decade was ugly....

for me he kinda looks like a cross breed from Blade, Delta and Riderman :). That rider/rocket punch seems kinda.....something that you don't want to hit in your face hahahha. But seriously guys. Stop with the hate until you see the series. I was kinda dissapointed before when I saw W and OOO before their respective shows even began airing. But when it started, I got hooked and loved the characters. Never judge a RIDER by its design but by its show. Here's me hoping that Fourze will have a Rider Headbutt using his rocket head and launching it hahahah(joke only, but it would be interesting though hahahha the headless rider)

Seriously though.....it gives a whole new meaning to Mazinga Zetto's ROKKETTO PUNCHI!!! hahhaha

juz take a bite of its first episode and u will be crave it for more.. that is what happened to me during kamen rider OOO

OOO has 48 episodes... And I think the name 'fourze' doesn't fit the astronaut theme though...

Just like before..
First: they hate new Kamen Rider.
Second: they saw it.
Third: they adore and love them.

and then it happen again and again.

so, im gonna love KR forever, even he don't look good. lol

Honestly I thought I could slowly get pass the conehead design, its somewhat the same reason why I originally disliked Blade. But after seeing the the full design I've lost complete hope in this series aside from the simplistic not yet toddler like Rider Switch shape consoles on his limbs to his ridiculously bulky buckle, my god....

The worst anniversary rider ever. Honestly, if only they had made a better suit design....Super-1 was a Cowboy Astronaut made by NASA and that had one of the best Rider Designs IMO....and a Second Year Rider? FFF, Double Spoiled me with the Potential of having Mature awesome guys that give that retro feel and badassery that Kamen Rider has been lacking for a while (Skull).

Also, WTFUCK at that Belt? Is the DX Toy going to cost like $300?

I'll watch it, and I know I'll love it :3

I'm disturbed by his cone head.. he's like an alien...

hope the story is good or were doomed!!!

RIDER ROCKET PUNCH!!! hahaha

I'm hoping this would be a comedy based story line to match the suit.

@ Shinigami

That doesn't apply to me really. I loved Ozu. I also loved W. I also loved Decade. I thought their design was totally awesome the moment I saw them, and had high hops for each series. Now I see this thing here, and it's plainly ugly. It's laughable. It's a disgrace. I'll watch it of course, but it looks terrible.

Most people have always been insulting the appearance since Decade, then to W, and OOO, now Fourze. I bet they will change their mind, like in the past 3 years :))

@Ankh

The Hate Toward's Decade's Costume was just that it was Pink...that was it. I didn't see any hate towards Double, I saw mostly Praise at his Showa-esc design.

OOO's was a bit negative, I personally thought he looked like a Lucha Libre Wrestler when I first saw him. But then they showed off his other forms and some looked really good.

This guy however...Looks like he should not be part of the Kamen Rider series and instead be a standalone hero.

oh come on,give this rocket head guy a chance.Like previous other riders im sure this guy also have his final form(at least different design).

seriously i like the sound played when they henshin for decade,W and 000.I like decade the most for its lagging sound when he henshin and insert other cards.

I give Decade a chance despite his pinkish colour, but he blew it up with the whole re-cast thing, + the lack of storyline, plot holes, etc..

I gave Double a good chance, but the stupid slipper girl ruined it up. The Whole Thing!! Stupid jokes and making the slipper girl into Double in 1 episode....horrible day man.

I give OOO chance although he look like a traffic light. Then came GataKiriBa, the green, a bug based Rider + good storylines and character development. I consider this series a good 1.

My chance is 33% paid off.

What should I hope from Fourze? I can't bear to watch the head alone...let alone the belt. And the Fourze user's hairstyle.

WTF is this...

This is the worst rider ever. What with the head and the stupid belt! Now Toei and Bandai is just trying to get more money through show related toys! Decade are cards.. the Double has 2 parts for the drivers, then OOO has 3 coins. Now Fourze has 4 (suprised?!) Not so high hope for next rider... They really really screwed up a legacy.
