And for those of us who have no idea what that word means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geats

An interesting choice. Certainly nice to get something original.

who wants to bet it has nothing to do with the real word, cause Toei is terrible at naming Riders lately

[Lunagel]

Agreed, it's probably something stupid like Geese+Two

[Mxylv]

It would be interesting if they are basing it off that word; we just had Saber, and I assume Geats would be a more fantasy/mythology-leaning entry, which is pretty rare for Rider. It is a good point that it could mean any number of things for now, though; while it makes speculation harder, I kind of like how most of the show names from Zi-O forward have been more ambiguous than a lot of the Neo Heisei ones were.

Are they ambiguous? A lot of us picked up on Zero-One being technology themed given the binary connection, and I think Saber was fairly obvious. There's only really Revice that didn't really give anything away.

[Mxylv]

True; it’s not totally ambiguous. I’d still say it is by comparison, though; even if we’re able to figure out the names, Saber feels like the only one on the same level as Wizard, Drive, or Ghost.

We have a logo!

So just looking at it, I get the impression of… dirt bikes? Nah, probably not. If it were the U.S. I’d say it was a mid-‘00s edgy rebrand.

[Lunagel]

Well that... explains absolutely nothing and hints at jack shit

[takenoko]

Gits? What's a git?

[Mxylv]

Kamen Rider GitHub?

[HowlingSnail]

Gits? What's a git?

British insult. Strong enough that you couldn't have it in kids' TV, although weak enough for it to be frequent in things like Only Fools and Horses, which mostly tended to stray away from the big ones like fuck and shit.

[HowlingSnail]

Getting Faiz vibes from that suit. I really like it though, and standing next to Revi and Vice can only do him favours.

[Lunagel]

Driver has a handlebar, could we actually be getting a motorcycle themed Rider lol?

I like the mask, the suit isn't quite to my taste but dem shoulder pads man, you could (and probably will) kill someone with those.

[HowlingSnail]

The face looks kind of like a cat to me. An evil cat.

[takenoko]

That's... actually a pretty good design. Agree that I'm getting Faiz echoes in it. Will Inoue own this series too?
