And here we are folks, the first look at 17th Heisei rider, Kamen Rider Ghost! After months of speculation and false information we have our very first look at the character thanks to a toy catalog scan!
Kamen Rider Ghost uses the Ghost Driver to transform. When inserting a Ghost Eyecon into the driver the spirit of a ghost is absorbed and projected onto the users body in the form of a hood/jacket. This construct with a face mask covers the suit from behind to create the primary look of the rider. An orange and black with a horn, a hero fit to premiere around October. Though if translations are correct not only will Ghost appear first in Kamen Drive: Surprise Future, but his show will premiere in late september!
These images also give us our first look at the Ghost Driver and Eyecons themselves. The Ghost Driver features a lever on the right side that needs to be pulled back to accept an Eyecon then pushed back into to activate the gimmick. And the Gangan Saber is Ghost’s primary weapon.
So what do you think of the reveal of the 17th Heisei Kamen Rider? Let us know what you think of Kamen Rider Ghost in the comments!
The other thread was locked for an unreliable source, but the rumors of a Fashion theme for our next Kamen Rider may have some credence after all. http://www.jefusion.com/2015/05/kame...es-is.html?m=1

From FIqyFr3nB - “I heard the theme is fashion. As expected, I can’t imagine how it looks like without seeing the design image. I hope I get to see it next week”
Still best to take with a grain of salt, but a fashion themed Rider would be interesting.
In an earlier post by Jefusion(who we debunked earlier) the sourced quotes were from members of 2chan, this included FIqyFr3nB, who had previously provided rumors for Kamen Rider Drive's Type DeadHeat, Type Formula, and Kamen Rider Chaser.
From zQacw/7nsedJ - Kazuhiro Takahashi will be the head producer for the next series. He has previously worked as series producer for Kamen Rider Fourze, and a few episodes of Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider OOO.
They also stated that it is likely that the tradition of the summer movie introducing the next main rider for the new series will return. This means that the Drive's final form and the next Kamen Rider will be officially revealed in next month's terebi-kun and before Kamen Rider Drive’s summer movie premieres this coming August.
Update 5-26
We have our trademark! And unless there's some clever naming scheme, this seems to debunk the fashion rumors.
Fashion themed? I heard it was going to be a card theme. But then, none of this is most likely true. I'm not even sure how a fashion themed series would even work. But then, I'll take anything after Drive. God I wish that show as ending already.
Let me reiterate what I said in the same news thread that used JeFusion source for the rumor:
Some of you need to learn not to believe JeFusion rumors!
There's a way I can take this theme and twist it into a pony related pun.
But I'm not really feeling it. So fashion pone.
I know you like using ponies for reaction stuff now but man cut down the size of it, not everyone is a fan and this is primarily a toku forum.
Keeping on topic. Fashion themed is quite an interesting one, it's not something usually marketed towards boys. I feel like it's going to be the same as the dancing in Gaim in that it'll serve as a backdrop as opposed to the theme of the suit and belt.
But in saying that it might also be a theme in that parts of the suit will change as if changing clothes, a bit like OOO in a way. For example maybe different shoes could result in different Rider Kicks.
Fashion sounds like a really good idea for the gimmick line as well. The Tire Koukan series is cool but it just doesn't stack up to, say, outfitting figures with an entirely new set of armor or swapping torsos and heads and all of that other stuff.
