Kamen Rider Drive - News/Rumours Thread 1

what will the next rider's driver be called, the "Redundant Redundanter"?

To be fair, they try to pick names that sound catchy and 'Drive Driver' is certainly catchy. I mean, look how much talk there's been about how 'redundant' or 'lame' Drive Driver sounds (and it's been going on since the day the trademark was found.)

Also, for what it's worth, random English just sounds cool in Japan and the kids won't even care. Doraibu Doraibaaa~

Drive Driver sounds awful. Heck I would take something like "Turbo Driver" instead.

Nah it will be something like "Kamen Rider:Rider"

based on types of motorcycles

Turbo Driver sounds awesome. I hope the word "Turbo" would be used in some way. Maybe for a form. Turbo Form. Sounds like a good form name for Drive.

Maybe Drive will say "Shift into Turbo" for every time he transforms. Imagine all of the fan rage here lol .

 

[Kamen Rider Oni]

Or maybe when he puts a car in it'll say: "Get in Gear!", then he shouts: "Henshin!" and does whatever the other gimmick is and it'll say: "Shift Into Turbo!" XD lol

:laugh:
I'd actually find that hilarious but, I realize I'm in the minority here.

Pre-order for Gaim/Drive Gashapon set to be released in September. If the toy release is on September 27th, then Drive could start on September 28th. That would let Gaim end with 47 episodes on September 21st.

Aren't the Gashapon toys usually released after the show premieres?? This could mean that Drive could still begin on the first Sunday of September. It's hard to tell just by a Gashapon release.

From IPDL, Bandai registered Drive Driver. Like many people thought, the belt's called Drive Driver.

Seriously??? that's just....dumb. Somebody on this thread wanted it to be called the "Auto Driver" a while back, which sounds way cooler. I even imagined the rider belt's stand by sound to be something like "Auto Driver Start Up!".

Turbo Driver is the name of the driver upgrade.

Not necessarily, they'd want most toys (even gashapon) to be released within a one to two day period of the show's premiere. Not to mention that this is a combined set with Gaim so they'd want to still promote the finishing series as well.

They want people who watch the premiere or who get excited from the previews to rush out and buy the merch.
