Kamen Rider Drive - News/Rumours Thread 1

[DemiGomoramon]

From TV Tropes Fridge Logic page:

Gou's mentality on dealing with Roidmudes ranging from using Slowdown and lack of mercy towards Roidmudes and anyone working with them serves more than just a direct and stark contrast to Shinnosuke's more professional and more justice-based approach when it comes to the same situation: it's basically the American cultural view of justice vs. the Japanese's.

To elaborate, America has recently been the center of police controversy along the lines of killings in police custody, excessive use of force, and overall incompetencey. Japan, on the hand, has no such problem in their police force. It would make sense why Gou's suggestion of killing evil humans working with Roidmudes so appalling to Shinnosuke and Kiriko, being that the former lived in America for quite some time.

Makes sense in some regard... Except the Japanese public generally doesn't like their police force either.

You might be thinking too much into.. I'm sure Drive isn't influenced at all by current events, especially from America.

I just copy and pasted that. I didn't write. I copy and pasted it because it was a fascinating theory. Basically I'm just trying to say you worded it in a way that made it seemed like I came up with this on my own.

I just realized 001 actually used his power in like ep 27 when the police superintendent barged into his room, and 001 rewrote his memory. I'll bet most of the higher ups have that marking behind their right ear.
I think a reason why Open targeted the people from the incident 12 years ago could be because there's a time limit on how long 001's ability works.

 

[Tendou Soujiro]

With Chase possibly getting an upgrade in the future, I hold out on Mach getting a final form.
It has been a long time since the Secondary rider has gotten a good final form, since Accel.

All of Baron's forms were excellent IMO.

 

[TaintedSeraph]

Since no one's provided a proper translation yet...

The new Shift Car is called Shift Next Special. It'll allow Drive to use Type Special while the movie Rider uses Type Next. The key device is called the Tridoron Key, a back-up key for the Tridoron, and lets Drive use the Mach Driver to become Kamen Rider Super Dead Heat Drive.

No new form for Chaser or Mach.

Episode 32 is interesting, maybe Type Tridoron will debut when they finally reconcile and Krim no longer fears 001.


And looking at the latest scan, Type Tridoron's Tire looks to be in a better position than in the completely shadowed out version.

 

[Solari]

Oohh...looks like this unraveling the mystery about the mark and finding the person behind the 'missing memories' (001) is gonna take a while over the course of several cases with each case providing various clues.
Looks like Hasegawa and Komura are in charge of writing this arc so far(27/28 - Hasegawa, 29/30 - Komura, 31/32 - Hasegawa)

 

[TheLastBlade]

I can see why Shinnouske would be annoyed at Krim's fear of 001. For awhile now, Shinnouske has been risking his life to fight Roidmudes. There were even times that almost got him KILLED. Krim's a subconscious data, but no one thought to make some back up or something they pulled in the Drive x Gaim movie? They better come up with a good explanation...
