Alleged blog postings dukemon found regarding the new Kamen Rider series:

The Design Motif is of a "living thing." (meaning the rider is not tech-based.)
The title and name of the rider is three characters in katakana.

The rider has a 3 step transformation, but in reality, it is more of a 2.5 step transformation. His arms resembles Kamen Rider X's, or Iron King's weapons."

In this poster's opinion, the rider is "something original."

"Also, a recurring character on the show will be played by a celebrity, but one that is not an actor."


Another post on the same info:

"The same info is heard from a source who knows about the toyline. The rider will exchange belt buckles to shift between his different forms. The "2.5" step in the transformation is achieved to use his finisher."
