heyy...they're not actually all that bad ^ ^
ReplyDeleteSo it is indeed multiple riders, that's cool. A very Kabuto esque feel going on with the same belts but different triggers, liking this series already :D
ReplyDeleteNot bad. more rider, it's long time since..err.. Kabuto??
ReplyDeletebut they dont look like riders at all... more like some metal heroes.. ><
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check this just because of the director. Hey, only 3 ranger, I mean Riders names are announced? I thought they showed 5 of them? 2 of them are just form change, or to be announced later?
ReplyDeleteSeems like the villains of the series transform by lock seeds too huh. I have a feeling the main antagonist of the series is gonna be durian.
ReplyDeleteTwo Tenimyu guys will be in it (Yuki Kubota and Yutaka Kobayashi). Say all you want but I will watch this no matter what you guys say..
ReplyDeleteP/S: Imagine Mizuki Hajime is a Kamen Rider....
Like the hero tokusatsu in china
ReplyDeleteGEN UROBUSHI!!! MAH MAN HE IS BEAST. I'm gonna bet some characters will be Urobutchered out of the show.
ReplyDeletelol, VOH channel has correct thing.
ReplyDeleteThe one from the far right would be kamen rider Zangetsu? How about the other one? I still can't figure out his fruit.
ReplyDeleteSo whose the other 3 riders & which one is Ryugen?
ReplyDeletehmm gaimu or gaim?
ReplyDeleteleft to right just a guess Kiwi,Apple,Orange,Grapes,Honeydew Melon
ReplyDeletepff should make hero's name son goku instead
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, Lock Seed DEALER, as in the Lock Seeds are DRUGS? Looks like we know where the monsters come from...
ReplyDeleteOh, and hey, at leads we get a female rider from the get go this time!
ReplyDeleteA regular girl rider? Interesting
ReplyDeleteI just noticed! Does this photo mean we get another female Rider?!?! :D
ReplyDeleteSo if we're going by position, then the girl would be the bulky brown rider...surprising to say the least. (◎_◎;)
ReplyDeletefemale rider!hahaha,dats what im talking about.to haters,take a good look to the 15th heisei riders.hey,anyone realize this one guy that keep wishing kamen rider to go back to its original roots but in nanobots form?can someone slap him in the face?haha,its annoying.keep babling bout nanobots since fourze "rumours time"
ReplyDeleteWait, what, Urobutcher writing the script? Holy S hi t! This is gonna be something to looked forward.
ReplyDeleteSo if we're going by position then the girl would be that bulky brown rider...surprising to say the least. (◎_◎;)
ReplyDeleteso...next game will be kamen rider super climax heroes.....GAIM....
ReplyDeletehope Wizard series will have 3 rider in next game....
Interesting. Still not sure what to make of all the Gaimu news. Guess I'll just have to wait until it airs to say yay or nay. The Lock Seed Dealer roll makes this sound like some backstreet gang thing.
ReplyDeleteThose characters, though.... Got enough, Toei? I mean, wholy damn, that's a lot of non-Rider characters. Some of the characters in Wizard aren't very useful, and there are a lot less of them.
Really interesting staff choices, though. Not sure how this is going to turn out, but it could be quite interesting.
Script from Gen Urobuchi? Really?
ReplyDeleteThen I hope this one will have a dark story.
Seems like a lot of characters. And where's the compulsory old guy?
ReplyDeleteLOL Urobutcher
ReplyDeleteHow did fruit just become badass?
ReplyDeleteA dark themed-rider with fruits as its motif? Uuh sounds weird.. but toei seems to be pretty good at turning odd things into something interesting.. can't wait to watch
ReplyDeleteEveryone was hoping for a female rider and.. no, she's a boy LOL
ReplyDeletelol somebody thinks the Banana-rider is an apple! The rest of them are correct fruits, though (Kiwi, Banana, Orange, Grapes, Honeydew Melon).
ReplyDeleteonce bandai releases them getting all of the sh figuarts figures based on this series is going to be expensive.and im sure more riders will show up later on in the series.
ReplyDeleteurobutcher seals the deal for me
ReplyDeletewizard-5 fingers
ReplyDeletegaim @ gaimu- orange (6 letter)
...logic.....
So we have Kamen Rider StoneWall, Kamen Rider BullBlack Lights of Ginga ver., Kamen Rider Gaimu, of course, Kamen Rider Ohja + Verde, and Kamen Rider Enki from Gurren Lagann, I like 'em. I think the Lock Seed dealer thing is that the Sengoku Driver is like a mass produced belt and the specific Lock Seed produces the corresponding Rider.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with his haaaand?!?!? AHHH
ReplyDeleteThe characters look cool, this looks like it will be a fun series. I'll look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteThe actors remind me of Kiva, which is a good thing. Except for the guy with the shunpei attire. Pink pants and a kitchen apron hoodie? wtf man The main protagonist looks like a hero. Maybe we get a serious type again.

Actually, the "5" motif for Wizard was "Land, Wind, Water, Fire, Infinity" combined with "five Fingers" and "five points in the letter 'W'".
All it takes is one bad apple to spoil a bunch even the cast can not save this one the suit spoils it. Even OJ would still be on the run from this one.
ReplyDeleteKamen Rider used to be about unsuspecting innocents violently modified into biocyborgs, and actually RIDING a motorcycle.
ReplyDeleteNow we have...fruits.
The girl looks so cute :D
