Kamen Rider Gaim - News/Rumors Thread 2: Suffering Incoming

[Photon]

Yeah, it's great that Dragon Fruit is now a Lockseed, but too bad the Dragon Fruit is yet another Peach Energy clone.


Would have been interesting to see Ryoma using a Sengoku Driver + a normal Dragon Fruit Lockseed.

As awesome as the Drive x Gaim movie is shaping up to be, there is one question I have to ask, are we ever going to see Jinba Melon?
I don't want to be that guy who gripes over it, but we went the entire season without seeing it and that just feels unsatisfying. Which is ironic considering that it was the first Jinba form silhouetted when the Energy lockseeds were being advertised. If it doesn't show up in the movie, then there most likely will never be a chance.

With Kouta/Kiwami Arms being a God there isn't a reason to show Jinba Melon except for fanservice. If it does show up in the movie then I'd imagine it would show up unexpectedly for a quick scene without any prior magazine scans or announcements.

I'd just say forget about Jinba Melon. If it happens, then it'll happen. If it doesn't then don't be that one guy who gripes about it and makes a post mentioning it every time a new Kamen Rider movie with Gaim comes out.

I'd refer back to the person who pointed out that Kamen Rider Taisen featured the appearance of a Riderman arm attachment that had not seen the light of day in decades, or a W finisher that appeared well after W's end. :laugh: Fanservice like this is bound to happen eventually. Especially since Movie Wars are keen on using all of the forms/equipment of a lead Rider, if only for a single fanservice-y fight scene (loved when Fourze got to do it).

Those things were actually in the older shows, tno? Jimber Melon was never shown whatsoever, so it would be akin to a movie-only form.

I always thought that Cyclone Maximum Drive was there, just because they were too lazy or too greedy to animate Joker Extreame.

 

[Black Fang]

Too greedy?

 

[Kamen Rider IXA]

They didn't want to spend money on it.

 

[Black Fang]

'Too cheap' would be more apt, then.

I'd definitely welcome Jimber Melon showing up, if only because it and the remaining Zawame Armored Riders getting belts again might be the only new or relevant thing added to the Gaim side of things for the Movie War section. Especially since it seems like they won't be addressing Sagara at all :redface2:.

Though if Jin Haganeya is working on the composition (not sure if that's been confirmed), then I have confidence we'll at least see some good character moments building off what we saw in the epilogue. Maybe more of Kouta, Mai, and they're attempts to build their civilization or musing about the life they left behind, or more likely more of Micchy developing into the new hero of Zawame .

But now that I think about it... considering we've only seen Kiwami in action, with Orange Arms only in that one shot with Drive next to the Trideron, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any other Gaim forms other than Kiwami, Orange, and Drive Arms. It'll be interesting to see what leads Kouta to using Orange at all, since he doesn't have much reason to use any form other than Kiwami considering it's practically his other skin at this point.
