After some official information about the upcoming series finally made it’s way to us, an even bigger bomb shell has dropped. The very first footage of Kamen Rider Drive in action!
An official video announcement of the series was made on Japanese television news this morning. So it’s time to feast your eyes on our first looks at the main cast, Drive himself in civilian and rider form, his sweet ride Trideron, and the villainous Roimyuudo!
Kamen Rider Drive premieres October 5th!
Here's what we know:
*The Roimyuudo (that appears to be the official Romanization) are android-esque creatures that want to become human. Most of them are locked behind a digital network & don't have physical form, but they can access the real world through humans.
*Two Roimyuudo DO have physical bodies, their leader (named Heart) and his nervous assistant, Brain. They also call on a human known as "Chase," a professional hitman who seems to have some history with the Tokyo PD.
*The series' themesong is "SURPRISE-DRIVE" and will be performed by Mitsuru Matsuoka (some of you may know him as Kamen Rider Eternal).
*Drive operates out of a Special Unit spun off from the regular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. His support staff includes technical expect Kiriko, physicist Rinna, researcher Kenta, hostile lieutenant Genpachirou and Chief of Police Tsurutarou.
So that means that these Roimyuudo are almost like a combination of the the Imagin and dopants. The ability to possess humans like Imagin and the ability to transform into Kaijin like dopants. (Except instead of Gaia memories, it's viral cores.) Does that sounds about right?

I'm also getting a bit of a Gobusters vibe mixed with G3 from Agito. I'm interested but still a little hesitant to say I'm all in as of right now.
Bring. It. I'm totally on for this. It's not even the suit, or the car, but the whole premise is just squee. Bring on Kamen Knight Rider!
so this is a kamen rider series where the rider is actually a driver? like he doesn't ride a bike?
So the monsters are a combination of Imagin, Dopants and Vaglass and Drive and his unit are similar to Accel and the F.P.D.'s special unit's role from W. I like the combination.
I am startin to like this more and more.
With the whole "separate branch of the police" thing, I get serious G3 vibes.
