How would you react?

That would make me do a double take.

 

[vareon]

Please let someone else be the main Rider this time. Takaiwa Seiji could play the secondary or a villain.

 

[delSai]

Ex-Aids Rider Kick should be a Street Fighter Tatsumaki

 

[javadoze]

At what point do we start getting rumors w/r/t producers, etc?

Seeing how the Ex-Aid's official magazine reveal is August 1st. There'll probably be news in a week or two (Ghost's production info was available when its official site went up at the end of July last year).

 

[Boss Doggie]

is he gonna press buttons on his chest

 

[Jeffrey]

Garo: Ashura makes me wish there was more swole good guys in toku.

Give me modern conan the barbarian.

 

[drizzle]

is he gonna press buttons on his chest

I've been thinking about it.

Maybe that's how he inputs his special moves (rider punches and kicks).

That would be nice.

 

[vareon]

is he gonna press buttons on his chest

Left right A B to control enemy kaijin.

 

[vareon]

DP but yep, the Ex-aid design is real. Action, RPG, and Shooter forms.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ah those are forms than other riders?

 

[sprsk]

Ah those are forms than other riders?

Different forms it looks like.

I dunno, the real suit actually kinda looks cool? The RPG form looks way better than the action one.

 

[vareon]

It's three riders. Kamen Rider Ex-aid (action), KR Brave (rpg), KR Snipe (shooting). They all use Gamer Driver.

 

[Boss Doggie]

oh so they are not forms? whoa

KNIGHT IS RPG! GIVE HIM TATAKAE POWERS

what does the SD form represent

 

[vareon]

I hope the second rider is based on wastern game, and 3rd rider on RPGs

design is cool, the color palette looks like the 90s threw up on him.

Lol I just realized. Slayven be Slayin'

 

[MHWilliams]

It's three riders. Kamen Rider Ex-aid (action), KR Brave (rpg), KR Snipe (shooting). They all use Gamer Driver.

Huh. The scans do seem to list them as separate Riders. Brave and Snipe look much better.

 

[vareon]

Okay, I'm sorry for posting a lot but I'm really hyped lol. Full scans are ready and here's what I can make sense of:

There are five Kamen Riders:
- Ex-Aid (Action Gamer)
- Brave (Quest Gamer) --> RPG
- Snipe (Shooting Gamer)
- Racer (Bike Gamer) --> THIS IS THE BIKE. THE BIKE TRANSFORMS INTO A KAMEN RIDER
- Gunmu (??, he's Action Gamer too. Like a darker Ex-Aid)

Gamer Driver is universally used, they transform using a "Gashat" which is some kind of a cartridge with handles.

The weapons are Gashacon Breaker, Gashacon Sword, Gashacon Sparrow, and Gashacon Magnum. There's a Gashacon Bugvisor and I have no idea what this is.

Each Rider has 4 (possibly more) Levels of upgrade.
Level 1 is the SD form
Level 2 is the base (unless Racer which is a bike)
Level 3 is base form + add ons
Level ?? is still silhouettes.

It's completly bonkers. I love this.

 

[KingDirk]

Hey Vare it is okay. Just saw the pics and I am ready for madness.

 

[delSai]

"- Racer (Bike Gamer) --> THIS IS THE BIKE. THE BIKE TRANSFORMS INTO A KAMEN RIDER"

this is like a reverse Accel

 

[Boss Doggie]

Holy fuck the drivers have mini-games you can play as when you plug them into the tv, and Ex-Aid's weapon has an AB button that looks like a mallet with a pop-out blade!

"- Racer (Bike Gamer) --> THIS IS THE BIKE. THE BIKE TRANSFORMS INTO A KAMEN RIDER"

this is like a reverse Accel

AUTO VAJIN!

 

[KingDirk]

With how great these gimmicks are how much disappointment are we setting ourselves up for

 

[Tiu Neo]

The main suit looks a bit better not in toy form.

But still, both RPG and Shooter look better, heh. It's... kinda growing on me? And what the fuck is that SD form.

This will be... different, won't it? I hope it does shake the KR formula up a bit.

 

[delSai]

I also have to say that Ex-Aid is growing on me, especially after the awful first reaction i had to it.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

So, uh, I guess the Chibi Form is gonna be like that one Den-O film where the kid transformed into it? Neat.

 

[Slayven]

 

[Boss Doggie]

well this is new for Rider

Spoiler

Hero is named Emu. He's a brilliant computer game user who designed the Bugsters to help augment game play. The Bugsters go out of control so he creates the Gashats to transform. The Bugsters call him "father".

talk about changing the whole "hero uses powers of enemy or has origins of the enemy"

 

[Slayven]

too close to "asshat"

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Brave looks a lot like Silver Chariot.

Actually all of them remind me of Stands, especially some of the latter more mechanical designs. Not to mention they're even colored sort of Araki-style.

 

[Jeffrey]

a lot of riders again. Hopefully their belts are less talkative this season.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Interesting that you can connect the driver to a TV and play games with the collectables.

Garo: Ashura makes me wish there was more swole good guys in toku.

Give me modern conan the barbarian.

It's sad how in Sentai's entire history there's only one red that was noticeably buffed out (Ryo)

 

[KingDirk]

With the spoilers for this rider are we maybe looking at the return of Imajin like characters?

 

[WarRock]

Chibi form looks SO GOOD! The UI on the chest is interesting too. Bike is mainly... yellow? Wait, the bike is an actual SD Gundam, with knight motif and all? Whaaaaaat. This is getting Gaim levels of reveal.

I still hate the pupils.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So like, Chibi form is CAST OFF?

 

[Jeffrey]

I guess its probably hard to have buff toku actors when they all are barely paid.

They really should go on that mcdonalds diet like that fitgaffer for the gains.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Okay, this looks ridiculous in a good way. I'm kind of excited to see how it turns out.

 

[WarRock]

Man, that reminds me that as soon as The World appeared shirtless I thought "holy crap, someone give this man some cheeseburgers".

 

[Jeffrey]

hope the fight choreography lives up. Will be super sad if Ex-Aid isn't doing some air juggles and sick combos.

 

[Nyanmaruz]

Oh man this actually sounds pretty cool. I hope this is the second coming of Gaim.

 

[Delio]

RPG Rider is totally my favorite.

 

[WarRock]

Sniper has "STG" on his helmet. Just imagine a bullet hell finisher.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Oh man this actually sounds pretty cool. I hope this is the second coming of Gaim.

I hope it uses the other Riders a bit better than Gaim, and has a better non-Rider cast

Would be nice if the main rider wasn't too OP, compared with the others, for the others most of the series.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I'll try to make a Gaming thread when the trailer pops out, just for kicks

 

[Tiu Neo]

I'll try to make a Gaming thread when the trailer pops out, just for kicks

Well, it *will* be gaming related...

 

[PancakeAlmighty]

I didn't know this thread existed!

I really wish at some point someone could get decades head writer to sit down and simply do a tell all on what the original plan for the series was that doesn't just boil down to "All riders was the original ending"

 

[Jeffrey]

Oh man this actually sounds pretty cool. I hope this is the second coming of Gaim.

idk, i actually hope this season is focused on gaming stuff, unlike gaim which really wasn't about fruits


Wonder if there will be any licensed partnerships with sony or capcom or nintendo or any other jp gaming companies?

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Well Ryo's actor (and the rest of Dai's main five) was already part of the JAE when they were picked for the roles so I guess that's why he could manage to be different.

 

[vareon]

The Level ?? forms are activated with Dragon Knight Gashat, which gives them the Hunter forms. Ex-Aid will be Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Hunter Action gamer. He...He becomes a Monster Hunter.

Well, Ex-Aid's visor is pretty much Banpresto's logo

 

[javadoze]

I think the Ex-Aid design has now circled around for me that it's now going full ham with reckless abandon and I love it

...Now watch this have a darker plot than Gaim..

 

[MHWilliams]

Well, Ex-Aid's visor is pretty much Banpresto's logo

I was saying that earlier! I wonder if it's intentional.

Need to know who's writing this.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Yeah, I did see some RTs about it on Twitter, but since I don't really know how to read Kanji, couldn't understand if they said anything or it was just comparing. Probably the second, or we would have heard something about that by now.

Do they make Rider games? Maybe it's just refering to that, or maybe they'll make a KR game.
