So, to answer that earlier question, let's see here--
Gaim has Orange, Strawberry, Pineapple, and Watermelon Arms, none of which are blacked out
Baron has Banana Arms and one blacked out, which is Mango Arms
Ryugen has Grapes Arms and one blacked out, which is Kiwi Arms
Zangetsu has Melon Arms
Griton has Acorn Arms and two blacked out, which are Pinecone and Durian Arms
Well it's probably some guy at Bandai who came up with all the Lock Seed forms and realized 12 different forms might be too much. And some other guy suggested to split them between Riders.
I do wonder what'll be introduced at the second quarter.
I was kinda hoping one of the Riders will be written off early (especially because there was little info about Griton). However, because of the reveal of his three arms, I think it's highly unlikely that Toei will produce that much merchandise for a Rider who won't be in for the long haul.
I imagine Griton will be another Yggdrassil Rider or a third party. There's too much merchandise to write off a guy unless the belts will change users. Even if Urobutchi likes Ryuki. And there's also the popularity of characters to take into account, Date stayed for a lot longer and that was in a different Takebe show. And speaking of Takebe, I wonder how she'll do with a fresh writer.

Well he and Ryugen are both related to Yggdrassil so I wouldn't be surprised if they have an internal plot and Zangetsu is stronger than the base forms.
