2013 Rider: Kamen Rider Gaim - News/Rumors thread

Sengoku Driver???

Ah, so they did go with the 'automatic self-circumcisor' design :sweat:

I must admit it doesn't seem as impressive as previous belts at the moment. I'd like to see what the 'lock seeds' look like and how they work first though. Similarly with the main suit design, I don't mind the head or the (rather similar to Den-O sword form) chest plate, but the way the shoulder pads sit in that picture seems very awkward, and I'm not a fan of the "quilted" look on the mid-torso. Not an "I instantly love it" design like Wizard's suit, but not completely without merit either.

EDGIEST RIDER SHOW IN EXISTENCE CONFIRMED

In all seriousness though, the lock does kind of look like a 6.

So...is the multiple rider concept returning? 2 riders for early appearance? Just like KR Blade then, the 2 rider even have same basic color.

Blade = Gaimu (base color = blue)
Garren = Baron (base color = red)

6=lock=roku....in japanese

Lock = Rokku = Roku = 6 is more accurate. They're similar alright but sound different.

Sengoku Driver???

Notice how the guard of the sword is in the shape of a 6.









But seriously though...that can't be a coincidence.

Yeah, all joking aside, the numbering motif seems to have been dropped.
Sure, some would argue that Wizard dropped it, but I still believe that the hand was the subtle way around having 5 transformation trinkets, which would've been overwhelming.

and the no.2 rider-banana(Barong)!? :laugh:

I like it. certainly better than wizard's look. though I got used to him, I'll still say that wizard has the worst design of the neo-heisei riders, especially with the his lazy form changes and the problem of too much black on his main forms

looking at Gaimu and the second rider who looks like a knight, it seems like the theme for next year is warriors, while the fruit thing is rather a motif

I just don't get why no bug eyes. It's not like they just didn't fit the image. I can easily imagine him with those, just looking at it. Like easily. To the point that I kinda default to imagining bug eyes when I think about him, unless I have a picture of him to remind me that he has visor.

I don't think they've dropped it, they're just making it more subtle to prevent the numbering gimmick from becoming overwhelming/convoluted.

Wizard, like you said, has a hand with 5 fingers on the driver (along with 5 elements - fire, water, wind, earth, and infinity, which isn't exactly an element, but you get the point)

Gaim, on the other hand (lol), has the "lock = roku = 6” pun.
