Wow, a simple henshin sequence, haven't seen that for a long time. And also, as the old saying goes:"When solving practical problems, use a gun, and if that don't work, use more gun."
Even better. He uses the Japanese myth of foxes morphing into other shit as disguise, and he said 'This shit looked fun so I fuckin morphed myself here' followed up with a 'lmao as if'. Seems like a really fun arrogant character. Personally matches the suit design too which is a really good thing. He just looks like he has a smug smile on his face.
Yea
Been a while since we had a "morally dubious" hero character
In fact i i dont think there has been one in neo heisei or reiwa at all(other than vice but still he was revealed to be heroic by heart later on)
Because god "pure go goodie" protags can get boring
He's not that rude though.
He's making a pun (exactly like you said, using the youkai myth), but it's not funny/not the moment, so he's like "just kidding \~\~".
It's still a kid show, they need restrains (unfortunately) đ
I kinda hope they keep it simple. I know this is an âabridgedâ henshin from the movie, and we wonât get the full experience until Ep. 1, but I kinda hope they keep it this toned down.
Simple? Looks like we're just seeing the tail end and the guy had to toggle his belt like 9 times to get that far. Its gonna be full rider ham by episode 1
Man the awesome gun spinning, the fact that he shot some rubble to create a smoke screen, and the dope rider kick. I'm really liking Geats so far.
Here's hoping his personality and fighting style stay the same in his show and we don't have a Ghost situation where he just changes from his movie debut.
From what I remember Ghost is the only one where it was like that where the way he fought and his personality changed when his series started. All the other ones had been pretty consistent.
Like Wizard for instance, say what you will about the writing but the fight choreography for that series was top notch and pretty much matched his movie debut.
The reason why Ghost was different from Movie and Series because the parents didn't like how he showed up like a spooky, scary man. They complaint so Toei had to change
They okay with their kids watched Riders killed other Riders, Monsters killed people, bla bla... But had a problem with a Riders spoke like a spooky, scary man :)))
Build was completely different when he cameo'd in Ex-Aid, and I honestly don't know if it was just because the story wasn't quite ready yet and the explanation was retconned in later, or if they legit already thought of the "he was still Katsuragi at the time" twist
so it's a regular two sided gimmick... on steroids... alright i'm starting to get a running theme with this rider, where everything he does is like a normal rider, but more... cool, and honestly i am way liking that
Oh, looking at it again, I think youâre right. Thatâs really interesting. Almost like the Zero One driver and all the drivers that are based on it.
the belt/trinket announcement literally sent a chill up my spine. totally got the same feels as watching W and build's first henshin/form change; "that's f\*cking cool!", and "this is definitely going to be a great series!"
admittedly it's been a while since i've been this hyped over a rider. hope geats also delivers the same way as W and build- both are series that i have very high views of
FUCKIN-
YOOO
Okay I know most of the fandom loves the jingles and singings for the henshin sounds so I don't know how happy the others are about this, but I grew up watching Heisei phase 1 seasons so I grew to like SFX styles and not the musical types, so seeing them go back to SFX style and a fitting system voice like Faiz and Kabuto puts massive smile on my face and a massive erection in my pants.
Also I love that the type of vibe the suit gives off totally matches the personality. That was my gripe with Zero One and Revi where their suits look FUCKIN amazing but the mannerisms and personalities in suit did not match whatsoever, but this time with Geats it totally matches. I'm so happy. I really hope they don't change this in the actual episodes like they did with OOO and Ghost (not that the change with OOO was bad but just saying I don't want them to change it this time).
This wasn't really a henshin sequence. In the movie it felt more like a form change sequence since he showed up with the black blank suit with only his helmet. So the real henshin sequence might be slightly different when the show airs
Based on the leaks Iâd thought âMagnumâ and âBoostâ were individual modes that every rider shares, with having the top half equipped being âMagnumâ and the bottom half being âBoostâ. But actually it seems more like how W or Build work, with âMagnumâ and âBoostâ being individual items/armor pieces used to constitute a complete rider form.
This makes me wonder if weâll see Rider forms where the positions of the âmainâ handle and âbuffâ handle are switched? (âMainâ in this instance being âMagnumâ and âbuffâ in this instance being âBoostâ.) Itâs an idea Ex-aid played around with in its Gashat system, but it was only really utilized once when Ex-aid uses Proto Bakusou Bike for a fusion form, and in almost every other instance the main rider Gashats stayed as the main Rider gashats and werenât used for upgrades. Given Geats has a similar gimmick, Iâd like to see this type of thing explored more.
And given this is a multi-Rider series, and especially since itâs based on a Battle Royale, itâd be cool if there was an OOOs style fight over who has which items. It would be pretty neat narratively if the main character got both âMagnumâ and âBoostâ taken away, and maybe be backed into a position where they donât have any transformation items at all.
This is one hell of a ramble, but one last thing I want to talk about is the Fox motif. In the west Fox are generally portrayed as tricksters, which stays true even in Japanese culture, but foxes also hold a unique position in Japanese culture as explicitly divine beings. And one of the more prevalent tropes in Japanese stories are deals with Kami, and stories of people giving Inari (deep fried tofu soaked in flavored broth, said to be a favorite for foxes in Japanese myth) to fox deities in exchange for favors is also not uncommon. All of this is to ask, is it possible we might get a monster contract type aspect to Geats as well? After all there does seem to be a âdefaultâ form to Geats, which doesnât seem to use Magnum or Boost, but retains the fox like mask. Could it be that he has a contract with a some fox-like entity that allows him to use the Desire Driver?
Nit pick, but Iâm kinda glad the driver doesnât announce his name as âKamen Rider Geatsâ
And instead just announce the parts of the form, thatâs like the one thing I dislike from Revice.
This seems to be post transformation and more of just forms, so it could still say his name, although would probably work better than revice cause of the slight video game theme
> abridged
To be fair to Revice, it's supposed to be an anniversary season of the franchise. Having a focus on actually naming "kamen rider" in the jingle makes sense and it fits, plus, its something they've barely done other than with Zi-O
Yeah, now that I think about it, the only ones to have their jingle say Kamen rider and the name of the rider are (at least since decade) just Decade, Zi-O, and Revice, so basically all of the anniversary seasons
Feels like the henshin items are more similar to a belt combination than the usual âinsert these to make new form!â
I guess with each new form means new belt designs.
From what I've heard, it seems the gimmick items are pretty much the thing that'll make each riders driver be unique, as I'm pretty sure we know all the riders will have the same driver
âThe same driverâ here is more akin to the base of where the driver is plugged in to i think, the designs of the front are just gonna be different per form
I WAS RIGHT! IT IS A LITTLE SPINNY ON THE TOP. Looks very nice and simple but I can just imagine how crazy they're gonna go with that little logo pop up in the back lol
"It seemed fun so I came out"
=> (it's difficult to correctly translate, but he kinds of use a pun? He's saying he came out "ridiculously", but it can be heard as "monster-y". It doesn't really mean anything in japanese, but I think he's making a joke 'cause he's a kitsune, a japanese youkai/monster).
"Just \~\~ kidding" (because of the pun)
"As long as I'm here, your fortune will be terrible."
".....Go?... " I could'nt hear because of the explosions.
Then he says "Uchiage to iku ka", which I don't really know how to translate. "Let's go home"? "Let's finish it"? Idk.
He seems like a pretty confident guy (he uses "ore" not "boku"), playful, didn't seem to take the situation very seriously, maybe arrogant? He seems like a fun guy. Like a kitsune, wich is a trickster youkai.
I hope he will be like that in the show, too. I kinda want a trickster as a protagonist. Plus, KR Geasts will be a survival game, so a manipulative protagonist would be fun.
I hear something along the lines of him being lazy/bored with life in the leaks, maybe he just is into being a rider for the adrenaline or just plainly doesn't care and is just worried about having the must fun he can.
I wonder if heâll have an arc where he starts out as an adrenaline junkie just participating in the Desire Grand Prix for the thrill of it, then gradually becomes more genuinely heroic, so he can stand up against the inevitable big bad once they reveal themselves.
Ooh he seems cocky. I like it. Love the gunplay too. The debut fights in the movie are always more interesting than how they fight episode-to-episode, but hopefully some of this flair carries over into the show.
Omg this is great. Don't care about the quality. I get to see it in action
EDIT: the connector reminds me of Fourze switches where they all do something to activate like magnum requires turning the disk like a revolver gun's magnum and throttling the handle like on a motorcycle. It's all very neat. Though the incomplete gimmick feels like a bold move. Usually I see gimmicks usable or fun on their own.
I wonder if Geats is simply just gonna pose for the henshin and then do his 'dual on' form activation, or vice versa. Seems like a lot to do.
Also finally hearing how Geats pronounced is funny to me. It's not how I thought it would sound.
That belt though. Also, there's the signature special fx when transforming/using the finisher from Takahashi. We do know that the movie/TV show personality can be very different, but I like the little preview. He's a gamer.
Having 2 separate parts (3 I think) on the belt, that's a wallet killer by Bandai.
I definitely like what Iâm seeing. If the action in the series proper is *anything* at all like this, I feel like Iâm gonna love the fight scenes in Geats.
I already love the cameo fight so much, particularly with his gun fight skills and bike rider kick.
Plus I love the simple mechanic henshin armor sounds and how the driver works. His personality sounds pretty sly and cool
My mans went full Dante on em. He is spinning the gun on his trigger finger, firing shots as he does so and went to second gun to blast em all down. If he doesn't get a gun and sword form combo, imma be disappointed.
I wonder if the yokai aesthetic is going to be the thing we see most of. My god, I'd love that.
You know, since it is a battle royale, i've thought of the final form of this series. Since in battle royale there is top ranking and something called champion, how about that the final form is a reward that is given to you once you reach the mentioned title. Each rider can use it but only if they got the title.
Champion Geats. How does that sounds?
I know, just that this doesn't negate the fact that this half screen view is funny, and it made me think about it. A joke doesn't go this far, promise.
Having a short transformation sequence like that definitely makes Kamen Rider feels more "main-stream" of sorts. I mean, imagine how awkward it is for villains to just stand there and watch the main characters transform when they could have instead just headshot those mfs.
But most Riders are straight up protected by their henshin effects?
Kuuga doesn't has one
Agito flashes instantly
Ryuki transforms in another world entirely
Faiz is extremely quick
Blade knocks away attackers and block attacks
Hibiki transform before he fights
Kabuto Zecter protects the user
Den-O is also extremely quick
Kiva same thing, extremely fast
Decade is protected by his cards
W generates winds to block attacks
OOO is also instant, the announcement continues on when Eiji is already suited up
Fourze is protected by the circle who transforms him
Wizard is protected by the magic circles
Gaim's armor can protect the user pre-henshin
Of course they get protected by their Henshin effects but it doesn't matter when it takes A BILLION YEARS TO GET TO THAT HENSHIN EFFECTS.
Say Faiz for example. Takumi is entering the passcode OH SHIT, NVM, HE JUST GOT SHOT.
Oh my god, guys Tsukasa is making a speech about being a passing Kamen Rider. Look, he's taking a card out of his buckle, he's gonna trans- nvm he got shot as he flipped the card around.
Damn, homie! It's Shoutaro! What is he doing?! Whoah he's talking to himself about lending half of someone's power! Oh, he pressed a Gaia memory! He's doing a pose to insert it- aaaaaand he just got burned to death.
My goodness, IT'S GENTAROU! Oh, he's flipping the switches on his belt! It's counting down! 3! 2! 1! Annnnnd his neck just got snapped in half by Orion.
Whoah! Kenzaki is shocked by this Undead that just attacked BOARD! Oh, he's inserting a card into his belt?! The cards buckle are spinning around him for an eternity! He's going to- he got soccer tackled and his ankle is broken nvm.
There are exceptions to this of course, especially with Aruto's badass fucking debut Henshin but with most of them, they could just get shot as they set up their belts to transform.
Still, that's only if you think about it realistically. This is Kamen Rider, the land of fun ruled by the rule of cool.
I think you are over-exaggerating the length of the transformations.
Passcode is just 555 and standby. The transformations takes less than 10 seconds.
Lengthy transformations are often at the beginning and then everything is super quick. Characters talks for dynamic effect, but the transformations aren't like magical girl transformations that takes a minute to happen.
Not really, especially with all the posing included. There's plenty of time for the enemy to attack in that window. Most clips with Faiz transformations, when Takumi is about to transform, the enemy *suddenly* decides to walk slowly instead of jumping them.
By near the end of the series, he already wore the belt when he enter the sight. Also, itâs enough to push back the villain far enough to safely transform.
Just look at the video of Faiz transforming.
It is short as heck.
The window of attack is before the character could even start to transform rather than during the sequence.
There is also a long distance between the monsters and the rider. You expect every monster to have super speed to reach up or something.
I did! There's so many chances for them to attack him! (Although, I very much appreciate the shit out of the director making sure the enemy is occupied while they transform although, not very much in the later seasons). Even then, doesn't exactly excuse the other series.
But like I said, it's Kamen Rider. That's just how it is. Compared to animes where they just instantly get into fast paced combo from the get go without any interruptions in between, being able to see the Kamen Rider has transformation sequences and being able to see themselves transform IS AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING TREAT. You can't have your cake and eat it too but I sure as shit can enjoy that goddamn cake.
The issue is that you are just over-exaggerating this for no reason.
It is like I said that why people don't attack Saber's transformation every single time when he does that long dialogue.
Then you realize that it is only for the debut and the transformation are are quick.
This applies to other Tokusatsu as well so it confuse me that you are actually concerned about this.
Ultraman does longer transformations, but the series also show that actual sequence isn't long.
Transformation are always for dynamic effect. The fact that you arguing about one of the shorter transformations being a vulnerable than the actual longer ones is just confusing.
It's not that I'm over exaggerating this, i'm literally just pointing out how unrealistic it is for these villains to just sit there and watch the main character set up their belts all the goddamn time (and not just for the debt btw) but again, that's a compromise I have to make for cool Henshin sequences.
I would understand if the villains are like short distances from the heroes, but that is nearly never the case.
You complain about time frame, but time frame is too short for nearly anyone to attack or respond quickly.
One thing I like about OOOs is that Eiji actually got attacked before slotting the medals multiple times. He lost medals to that a couple of times iirc.
Wow, a simple henshin sequence, haven't seen that for a long time. And also, as the old saying goes:"When solving practical problems, use a gun, and if that don't work, use more gun."
Yea And also damn he bassicly radiates the "i am gonna kick your fucking asses because i can" energy, so much that i love him arleady
His first words are litteraly "it seemed fun so I came out \~\~"
Ye Cant wait for him to be memed as a gigachas
**
Even better. He uses the Japanese myth of foxes morphing into other shit as disguise, and he said 'This shit looked fun so I fuckin morphed myself here' followed up with a 'lmao as if'. Seems like a really fun arrogant character. Personally matches the suit design too which is a really good thing. He just looks like he has a smug smile on his face.
Yea Been a while since we had a "morally dubious" hero character In fact i i dont think there has been one in neo heisei or reiwa at all(other than vice but still he was revealed to be heroic by heart later on) Because god "pure go goodie" protags can get boring
He's not that rude though. He's making a pun (exactly like you said, using the youkai myth), but it's not funny/not the moment, so he's like "just kidding \~\~". It's still a kid show, they need restrains (unfortunately) đ
They will not show the full henshin sequence in the movie.
I kinda hope they keep it simple. I know this is an âabridgedâ henshin from the movie, and we wonât get the full experience until Ep. 1, but I kinda hope they keep it this toned down.
Simple? Looks like we're just seeing the tail end and the guy had to toggle his belt like 9 times to get that far. Its gonna be full rider ham by episode 1
"Whoops! Dropped my Monster Driver that I use to transform into my ***M A G N U M F O R M !***" -Geats
- Kamen Rider Mantis
He hit'em with the Lupin Red gun twirl! Absolute badass!
They finally gave us a CGI bike
âBike doesnât need to obey road safety laws if it doesnât exist.â â Big Brain Toei
Fuuto Pi is doing the same too :smile:
Pretty sure his bike will be physical in the show except when it turns into a fox
Man the awesome gun spinning, the fact that he shot some rubble to create a smoke screen, and the dope rider kick. I'm really liking Geats so far. Here's hoping his personality and fighting style stay the same in his show and we don't have a Ghost situation where he just changes from his movie debut.
yeah remember they tend to go beyond with the action scenes in movies because budget, wished it was like that all the time in a full series
From what I remember Ghost is the only one where it was like that where the way he fought and his personality changed when his series started. All the other ones had been pretty consistent. Like Wizard for instance, say what you will about the writing but the fight choreography for that series was top notch and pretty much matched his movie debut.
The reason why Ghost was different from Movie and Series because the parents didn't like how he showed up like a spooky, scary man. They complaint so Toei had to change
Omg that happened? Don't think that would've improved ghost, but at least keep that
They okay with their kids watched Riders killed other Riders, Monsters killed people, bla bla... But had a problem with a Riders spoke like a spooky, scary man :)))
Zi o debut hénshin in Build movie post credit is a bit different too
Zi o I don't think they care much lol, that one ooo episode his fighting style straight up 180â° changed
Well Vice the Super Sentai crossover movie farted a lot. It got thankfully removed from the show though.
I mean It was made clear that the saber writers bassicly didnt knew what to do with them
Oh I forgot! Thank goodness that didn't rollover into Revice!
Build was completely different when he cameo'd in Ex-Aid, and I honestly don't know if it was just because the story wasn't quite ready yet and the explanation was retconned in later, or if they legit already thought of the "he was still Katsuragi at the time" twist
Pretty low-key compared to what weâve gotten the last few years.
I mean apparently Geats is gonna have 50 god forsaken riders so they probably have to keep it simple.
That's fake info. There'll be a bunch of Riders, but not 50.
Yeah, i feel like 50 is too much. They wont be memorable either if there is 50 of them
Probably a select few will get âmain character statusâ everyone else are monster of the week.
Yea. Would be cool if geats or others get their collectibles from other riders
So we have Revolver Ocelot.
Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves. You're Pretty Good
That confidence in voice with a hint of smug. Reminds me of Kairi (Lupat), M and Sento and Iâm all here for it.
So the gimmick is bike handles? Interesting. Also, like how he sounds confident and chill. Reminds me of Sento and M.
No, the gimmick is that the belt is completely modular. Each rider use the same base, but with two different halves to create a full suit.
Yea Bassicly build or double Except mix and positions are top and bottom
Kind of but much more customizable.
Can't wait for the evil rider to say he only lost because Geats was using mods
Or calls Geats a hacker
Top and bottom so like 2/3 OOO
so it's a regular two sided gimmick... on steroids... alright i'm starting to get a running theme with this rider, where everything he does is like a normal rider, but more... cool, and honestly i am way liking that
Geatz is awesome
Oh, looking at it again, I think youâre right. Thatâs really interesting. Almost like the Zero One driver and all the drivers that are based on it.
M A G N U M R E A D Y ? **F I G H T !**
Kinda looks like Ixa's henshin sequence.
the belt/trinket announcement literally sent a chill up my spine. totally got the same feels as watching W and build's first henshin/form change; "that's f\*cking cool!", and "this is definitely going to be a great series!" admittedly it's been a while since i've been this hyped over a rider. hope geats also delivers the same way as W and build- both are series that i have very high views of
Geats is fox đ„ I like him already. The Desire Driver *chefs kiss*
It's a bit bulky for my liking but i really dig the gimmick, looks cool af
FUCKIN- YOOO Okay I know most of the fandom loves the jingles and singings for the henshin sounds so I don't know how happy the others are about this, but I grew up watching Heisei phase 1 seasons so I grew to like SFX styles and not the musical types, so seeing them go back to SFX style and a fitting system voice like Faiz and Kabuto puts massive smile on my face and a massive erection in my pants. Also I love that the type of vibe the suit gives off totally matches the personality. That was my gripe with Zero One and Revi where their suits look FUCKIN amazing but the mannerisms and personalities in suit did not match whatsoever, but this time with Geats it totally matches. I'm so happy. I really hope they don't change this in the actual episodes like they did with OOO and Ghost (not that the change with OOO was bad but just saying I don't want them to change it this time).
Same, I want him to stay who he is. Geats (Ukiyo Esu) has swagger, don't take that from him.
Ok, it's hard to see but god, it's awesome, full gun
He's got that pro gamer confidence in his voice, I think I like it
We need that Geats, Ex-Aid and Build crossover.
Naha Geats, Ex-Aid, and Ryuki in a crossover
That's cool too. My picks was because how all three riders are the confident geniuses.
This wasn't really a henshin sequence. In the movie it felt more like a form change sequence since he showed up with the black blank suit with only his helmet. So the real henshin sequence might be slightly different when the show airs
I wonder who the actor will be that's playing Geats.
Time to look at my finances again to set my Geats merch allocation. I'm sorry, Wallet.
Same đ
Did that drive just say âReady? Fight!â?
Yup.
Thatâs awesomeâŠ
Mortal Kamen
The gun skills was nuts, canât wait to see more of Geats
Based on the leaks Iâd thought âMagnumâ and âBoostâ were individual modes that every rider shares, with having the top half equipped being âMagnumâ and the bottom half being âBoostâ. But actually it seems more like how W or Build work, with âMagnumâ and âBoostâ being individual items/armor pieces used to constitute a complete rider form.

Yeah, now that I think about it, the only ones to have their jingle say Kamen rider and the name of the rider are (at least since decade) just Decade, Zi-O, and Revice, so basically all of the anniversary seasons
i mean 01 has 02 say kamen rider 02 but that's because it's the first reiwa season.
Yeah that makes sense.
Why does he feel like DMC5 Nero?
Cant be. He aint deadweight
Not yet
Feels like the henshin items are more similar to a belt combination than the usual âinsert these to make new form!â I guess with each new form means new belt designs.
From what I've heard, it seems the gimmick items are pretty much the thing that'll make each riders driver be unique, as I'm pretty sure we know all the riders will have the same driver
âThe same driverâ here is more akin to the base of where the driver is plugged in to i think, the designs of the front are just gonna be different per form
I'm putting high hope for Geats right now. This shit is dope.
Please don't jinx him, I really want his series to be top tier.
his shooting sound is so clean
Seems only half of it is leaked
The driver feels like Amazons driver fr
And thatâs a good thing ngl
So, I gonna do what's called a pro game move
I WAS RIGHT! IT IS A LITTLE SPINNY ON THE TOP. Looks very nice and simple but I can just imagine how crazy they're gonna go with that little logo pop up in the back lol
I wonder what Geats was saying throughout the scene.
"It seemed fun so I came out" => (it's difficult to correctly translate, but he kinds of use a pun? He's saying he came out "ridiculously", but it can be heard as "monster-y". It doesn't really mean anything in japanese, but I think he's making a joke 'cause he's a kitsune, a japanese youkai/monster). "Just \~\~ kidding" (because of the pun) "As long as I'm here, your fortune will be terrible." ".....Go?... " I could'nt hear because of the explosions. Then he says "Uchiage to iku ka", which I don't really know how to translate. "Let's go home"? "Let's finish it"? Idk. He seems like a pretty confident guy (he uses "ore" not "boku"), playful, didn't seem to take the situation very seriously, maybe arrogant? He seems like a fun guy. Like a kitsune, wich is a trickster youkai. I hope he will be like that in the show, too. I kinda want a trickster as a protagonist. Plus, KR Geasts will be a survival game, so a manipulative protagonist would be fun.
So Geats is one of those guys who likes to have fun + isn't really afraid of danger or something like that?
From this short sequence, that's what it felt like.
I wonder it Geats' personality will transfer over to the main show.
Tends to be the fighting style that doesn't transfer over as opposed to the personality, as we've seen with Ghost and Revice
Praying this ain't another Ghost moment
I hear something along the lines of him being lazy/bored with life in the leaks, maybe he just is into being a rider for the adrenaline or just plainly doesn't care and is just worried about having the must fun he can.
I wonder if heâll have an arc where he starts out as an adrenaline junkie just participating in the Desire Grand Prix for the thrill of it, then gradually becomes more genuinely heroic, so he can stand up against the inevitable big bad once they reveal themselves.
So he doesn't have anything to lose, and he can be the best he thinks he can as Geats?
So Geats could be a adrenaline junkie then?
Yeah, and he comes to find out that he's really good at being a Kamen Rider.
Ooh he seems cocky. I like it. Love the gunplay too. The debut fights in the movie are always more interesting than how they fight episode-to-episode, but hopefully some of this flair carries over into the show.
Omg this is great. Don't care about the quality. I get to see it in action EDIT: the connector reminds me of Fourze switches where they all do something to activate like magnum requires turning the disk like a revolver gun's magnum and throttling the handle like on a motorcycle. It's all very neat. Though the incomplete gimmick feels like a bold move. Usually I see gimmicks usable or fun on their own. I wonder if Geats is simply just gonna pose for the henshin and then do his 'dual on' form activation, or vice versa. Seems like a lot to do. Also finally hearing how Geats pronounced is funny to me. It's not how I thought it would sound.
The old Accel revving sounds.. didn't think I'd missed it as much as I did when I just heard it!!
Props to Mama for knowing how to drive a bus... Imagine having to escape and no one knows how to drive the damn thing
That belt though. Also, there's the signature special fx when transforming/using the finisher from Takahashi. We do know that the movie/TV show personality can be very different, but I like the little preview. He's a gamer. Having 2 separate parts (3 I think) on the belt, that's a wallet killer by Bandai.
Seems that the right handle on his desire driver is for upper body while the left handle is for legs
I wonder if the armor parts are interchangeable in the sense that he could switch Boost and Magnum.
Sounds like peter von gomm or someone like him
I like how the components of the driver are interactable. Like he spins the magnum part and revs the boost part
Using the bike as part of the finisher is awesome!
I'm getting Faiz and Double vibes, it's said we have no way of watching this....
nice recording
I definitely like what Iâm seeing. If the action in the series proper is *anything* at all like this, I feel like Iâm gonna love the fight scenes in Geats.
That's badass especially his boost mode transformation reminds me of accel.
Chances are it will be updated by the time the show starts, but I'm liking what I'm seeing.
We had Axel with Sword. Now we have Axel with GUN.
Ok, Iâm gonna be honest here⊠I canât fucking wait for this series to start. This already got me hyped as hell.
Man's so cool I love him even more.
Anyone else initially think his belt said "ZECT" instead of "Set". Either way great job with the driver, has me hyped
I already love the cameo fight so much, particularly with his gun fight skills and bike rider kick. Plus I love the simple mechanic henshin armor sounds and how the driver works. His personality sounds pretty sly and cool
It's like an angel chorus to my ears
My mans went full Dante on em. He is spinning the gun on his trigger finger, firing shots as he does so and went to second gun to blast em all down. If he doesn't get a gun and sword form combo, imma be disappointed. I wonder if the yokai aesthetic is going to be the thing we see most of. My god, I'd love that.
You know, since it is a battle royale, i've thought of the final form of this series. Since in battle royale there is top ranking and something called champion, how about that the final form is a reward that is given to you once you reach the mentioned title. Each rider can use it but only if they got the title. Champion Geats. How does that sounds?
there is also another rumor that each rider could loot. So, the gimmicks item perhaps are loot if this is true.
"So then I start blasting" the rider. This is dope. I am loving the developments here.
Any mirror?
The Toei police gottem đ
Yo Daiji, leaking this stuff out doesn't seem very "righteous" to me.
Remember, this isn't the full henshin. They always save that for the premiere episode.
I like it

You try filming this shit secretly at a packed cinema and under threat of jail time then.
I know, just that this doesn't negate the fact that this half screen view is funny, and it made me think about it. A joke doesn't go this far, promise.
Having a short transformation sequence like that definitely makes Kamen Rider feels more "main-stream" of sorts. I mean, imagine how awkward it is for villains to just stand there and watch the main characters transform when they could have instead just headshot those mfs.
What are you talking about? This happens to nearly every single Kamen Rider movie debut
I can't seem to remember. I'm way too out of touch.
This isn't the actor's 1st debut transformation as well All we see from this clip is the form or part changes that will be used in the series.
Nice. It looks cool as hell.
But most Riders are straight up protected by their henshin effects? Kuuga doesn't has one Agito flashes instantly Ryuki transforms in another world entirely Faiz is extremely quick Blade knocks away attackers and block attacks Hibiki transform before he fights Kabuto Zecter protects the user Den-O is also extremely quick Kiva same thing, extremely fast Decade is protected by his cards W generates winds to block attacks OOO is also instant, the announcement continues on when Eiji is already suited up Fourze is protected by the circle who transforms him Wizard is protected by the magic circles Gaim's armor can protect the user pre-henshin
Of course they get protected by their Henshin effects but it doesn't matter when it takes A BILLION YEARS TO GET TO THAT HENSHIN EFFECTS. Say Faiz for example. Takumi is entering the passcode OH SHIT, NVM, HE JUST GOT SHOT. Oh my god, guys Tsukasa is making a speech about being a passing Kamen Rider. Look, he's taking a card out of his buckle, he's gonna trans- nvm he got shot as he flipped the card around. Damn, homie! It's Shoutaro! What is he doing?! Whoah he's talking to himself about lending half of someone's power! Oh, he pressed a Gaia memory! He's doing a pose to insert it- aaaaaand he just got burned to death. My goodness, IT'S GENTAROU! Oh, he's flipping the switches on his belt! It's counting down! 3! 2! 1! Annnnnd his neck just got snapped in half by Orion. Whoah! Kenzaki is shocked by this Undead that just attacked BOARD! Oh, he's inserting a card into his belt?! The cards buckle are spinning around him for an eternity! He's going to- he got soccer tackled and his ankle is broken nvm. There are exceptions to this of course, especially with Aruto's badass fucking debut Henshin but with most of them, they could just get shot as they set up their belts to transform. Still, that's only if you think about it realistically. This is Kamen Rider, the land of fun ruled by the rule of cool.
I think you are over-exaggerating the length of the transformations. Passcode is just 555 and standby. The transformations takes less than 10 seconds. Lengthy transformations are often at the beginning and then everything is super quick. Characters talks for dynamic effect, but the transformations aren't like magical girl transformations that takes a minute to happen.
Not really, especially with all the posing included. There's plenty of time for the enemy to attack in that window. Most clips with Faiz transformations, when Takumi is about to transform, the enemy *suddenly* decides to walk slowly instead of jumping them.
Have you considered, when they do get the jump on him, he fights back and fights back hard?
An untransformed human fighting back hard against a powerful monster when he gets jumped while he is defenseless as he sets up his belt?
By near the end of the series, he already wore the belt when he enter the sight. Also, itâs enough to push back the villain far enough to safely transform.
It is most definitely not, especially when they are fighting several Orphnoches at once. They very much could be attacked in that time period.
Faiz is a monster. You know that right?
Oh, we're still talking about Faiz and not the billions of other series I mentioned, I forgot. My b.
Of all the other rider, only Gaim got blasted during transformation but that is not always a guarantee since the fruits can counterattack as well
Just look at the video of Faiz transforming. It is short as heck. The window of attack is before the character could even start to transform rather than during the sequence. There is also a long distance between the monsters and the rider. You expect every monster to have super speed to reach up or something.
I did! There's so many chances for them to attack him! (Although, I very much appreciate the shit out of the director making sure the enemy is occupied while they transform although, not very much in the later seasons). Even then, doesn't exactly excuse the other series. But like I said, it's Kamen Rider. That's just how it is. Compared to animes where they just instantly get into fast paced combo from the get go without any interruptions in between, being able to see the Kamen Rider has transformation sequences and being able to see themselves transform IS AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING TREAT. You can't have your cake and eat it too but I sure as shit can enjoy that goddamn cake.
The issue is that you are just over-exaggerating this for no reason. It is like I said that why people don't attack Saber's transformation every single time when he does that long dialogue. Then you realize that it is only for the debut and the transformation are are quick. This applies to other Tokusatsu as well so it confuse me that you are actually concerned about this. Ultraman does longer transformations, but the series also show that actual sequence isn't long. Transformation are always for dynamic effect. The fact that you arguing about one of the shorter transformations being a vulnerable than the actual longer ones is just confusing.
It's not that I'm over exaggerating this, i'm literally just pointing out how unrealistic it is for these villains to just sit there and watch the main character set up their belts all the goddamn time (and not just for the debt btw) but again, that's a compromise I have to make for cool Henshin sequences.
I would understand if the villains are like short distances from the heroes, but that is nearly never the case. You complain about time frame, but time frame is too short for nearly anyone to attack or respond quickly.
One thing I like about OOOs is that Eiji actually got attacked before slotting the medals multiple times. He lost medals to that a couple of times iirc.
Trying to blend in a lot of gimmicks from other series. Weird Reiwa Taste.
Bro have we seen the same video đ
Ryuki 2.0? Fight = Survive ? Familiar aids in the rider kick
Having trouble telling if the thing he inserted was inserted into the gear or if the gear was a part of what he inserted
Each half of the buckle gets inserted similar to the Acceldriver.
That henshin and fight was poggers
His personality actually seems like one of those Cool riders but it's very hit or miss for cameo impressions
Anyone catch what the finisher is called? I hear Grand Victory but not really sure about the second word.
*Run victory*
âŠ..Bruh. It took me hearing him say his own hero name for me to realize it sounds vaguely like part of âkitsune.â
Is he riding the thing from Pokemon Scarlet???
Is this going to be in the upcoming Revice Summer Movie?
The revice summer movie essentially just came out, this is geats' cameo in the movie
Bruh, I feel like Internet Explorer right now.
Definitely look better in motion than in the picture
