2013 Rider: Kamen Rider Gaim - News/Rumors thread

I doubt that its sid simply because of the connotation of the name. Also, for an interesting connection to madoka, read this bit on the madoka wiki

I find it very interesting that these two characters come from the same story. I don't think it means anything, but its just interesting to see that.

I wasn't making the connection of Sid because of the "Sigurd" thing people noticed. I was pointing out the mention of "Lock Dealer era" in his description. If it isn't hinting at Sid, what's it really referring to?

I know that this is a long shot, but do you think that his Gaim's use of the Kachidoki Lockseed could be his ultimate form. I mean the last early appearance of a rider's ultimate form was Kiva's emperor form which appeared in the mid-season of the show, while Decade's complete form was earlier than that, of course that show had fewer episodes. Also I wonder if that lockseed would be like the suika/watermelon lockseed; after its usage, it would take some time before it could be used again.

It would be more of a stretch NOT to call it a final form, honestly - It fits the bill based on what we've seen so far. It's a unique Lockseed of its own category, and it has a big roleplay toy weapon. It's par for the course. XD

no, I really don't think so, considering the trends started since W; those being that typically, around new years is when a new rider, or in this case, set of riders, is introduced, and the main rider gets his mid-season power-up, and it isn't until late April/early May that the main rider gets his final form

these trends occur because of Bandai wanting to spread toy releases throughout the year

it just doesn't make sense for it to be his final form in my eyes, especially because the text of the toy scans isn't treating Gaim's new Arms using the Melon Energy Lock Seed a power-up form, and the Kachidoki Lock Seed has a slot that is stated to make use of a future item

Yeah, I think Kachidoki is just Gaim's proper mid-season upgrade and not the Ultimate Form. Though I admit, in silhouette it really does look like it could be a serviceable final form for Gaim.

Is Kachidoki in the quarter where mid-season upgrades usually show up?

In episode numbers, it should end up appearing closer to Magnet States than Cosmic or Infinity.

But Gaim started one month later, so it could be an early third quarter release if the show ends before September, in spite of starting in October.

But we have the Orange x Melon Energy form, that seems way more like a mid-season upgrade. It's appearing one month before Kachidoki, even, so it would seem strange for the entirely unique thing to show up after a variation of an existing form and NOT be the last form he gets... It's got its own unique overkill weapon and everything. Nothing could top that.

Orange X Melon Energy and Kachidoki could be the reverse of what happened with TaJaDor and ShaUTa.

Toyline-wise(at least, roleplaying toys), the Orange + Energy Lockseed form just takes the place of the secondary Rider belt though. It's not a separate toy from Zangetsu Shin's and the others. You'd think they'd keep the second Rider toy, mid season toy and also the final one, not add some of them together.
