New “Detail of Hero” magazine scans have started making the rounds for Kamen Rider Gaim, giving us an early look at the new Energy Riders!
These scans provide beautiful up close & personal looks at all 4 of these interesting new riders. A couple unique things to note, unlike the standard Armored Riders their Lock Seeds do not simply flip down when sliced but instead open up or blossom out in 2-4 sectioned pieces. And in keeping with the squeezed or “juiced” theme of the Energy Riders the inner part of all their visors appear to have drops of liquid. It’s the little touches that really set off this amazing costumes. Check out all the images after the jump.
The first rider of this new group, Shin Zangetsu, is set to appear in this weekends upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Gaim!
New Detail of Hero Magazine scans showing off some beautiful looks at the new Energy Riders; Shin Zangetsu, Marika, Duke, & Sigurd.
Hero Shock has the scans themselves up.
They all look simply stunning, just wish they had personal weapons. Sigurd does look like a silver Kurokage with fur. If that isn't Hase then I picturing Sigurd to be a total bad @$$
I'm starting to warm up to Shin Zangetsu. I just wish he had two shoulder pads instead of one.
Shin Zangetsu - Holy Crusader
Lemon - Naval
Peach - Joan of Arc
Sigurd - Barbarian/Mongul
Love how they continue the "different warring periods of time" motif with each character.
Sigurd could also be a Viking, now that I think of it.
I also love that the different motifs are continuing too. I've always had an interest in the different fighting styles throughout history and it's really helped garner more interest in Gaim for me.
These guys look pretty cool! Cant wait to see em in action!
I love the look of them. I think Sigurd is my favorite one aesthetically. I was trying to figure out maybe there is some sort of card theme of
Shin Zangetsu-Ace
Duke-King
Marika-Queen
Sigurd-Jack
I have no idea why something like that but possible.
I love the small details.For example,the fact that every inch of trim on the Energy Arms is a straw.The visors not being segmented but "juiced".The horns on Sigurd's helmet.At first they look like spikes,but if you just look at the green trim and the red orbs on his helmet,they're all cherries!
Even though they're very asymmetrical,the designs were all well thought out.
Fantastic designs, cannot wait to see them in motion. Lack of personalized weapons kinda sucks though. Something I love about the standard arms is seeing the kinda weapon they make for the different fruits.
