Take this with a grain of salt for now, but we may have the first toy listings for the next Kamen Rider series- Kamen Rider SABER!
The listings offer a treasure trove of potential new information for this upcoming series. Details of note include-
*Multiple Riders once again! The listings indicate a possible total of SEVEN Riders, with the first 3 using one type of henshin device while the next group have a different belt & Driver setup.
*The collector gimmick for this series appears to be Crests– which have different elemental abilities.
*The Riders apparently draw powers using a fusion of animals and elements- the Rider #1 listing (presumably Saber himself) comes with Dragon/Fire crests while the second rider has Lion/Water as a set.
*Strangely, the series also appears to make reference to classic literature and fairy tales- with the toy listings including references to Peter Pan, Aladdin, Three Little Pigs & Journey To The West.
If all these items are true, Kamen Rider Saber could be a very unique series! However, keep in mind at this stage all details are subject to change & remain pending official confirmation.
Stay tuned to TokuNation for all Kamen Rider reveals!
If the breakdown is right, we will have multiple Riders again. List indicates a possible total of seven.
Elemental creatures are also mentioned- "Dragon/Fire, Lion/Ice"
And there is apparently a link to literature- with references to Peter Pan, Aladdin, Hansel & Gretel and Journey to the West.
I can’t read Japanese; are we doing multiple drivers right off the bat again?
Apparently seven by November if this is true.

Kamen Rider Saber basically are Kamen Rider Ghost Ver. 2.0
So here is a list of fictional characters and the animals mentioned from this list
(characters)
Sasuke Sarutobi, ninja who is known for being the member of the Sanada Ten Braves and inspiration for Ninja Red from Kakuranger and Sasuke from Naruto
Aladdin from Arabian Nights
Hansel from Hansel and Gretel which is part of Grimms' Fairy Tales
Peter Pan from the book of the same name
Journey to the West, the story of Son Wu Kong the Monkey King and also the inspiration behind Son Goku of Dragon Ball, Saiyuki, etc.
(animals/creatures)
dragon
lion
genbu(aka black tortoise, one of the four sacred beasts in Asian lore)
hedgehog
eagle
pegasus
cerberus
Town Musicians of Bremen(which consists of the donkey, dog, cat, and chicken)
So if this list is legit we can definitely say yes to we are getting a show based heavily on different types of lore from fairy tales to fables and legends. Just based on what I am seeing here the first impression I have about Saber is a mix of Ghost, Build, Gaim, Kabuto, and Ryuki just strictly based off of this info. And the animals/creatures are definitely peaking my interest cause when you got something obscure like Town Musicians of Bremen I cannot help but wonder what this show is gonna be like.
If only there was a way to make up for Ghost's failures.
Okay this is making me excited.
Just from the variety of characters, this sounds like an insane show when it comes to the Riders themselves.
Kamen Rider is starting to feel more like Super Sentai than actual Super Sentai. All we need to complete the transition is for all seven Riders to combine into one giant Mecha-Rider.
Holy fuck fairy tales is such a good idea
(Disclaimer: nothing new here, just trying to organise the info in the tweet thread in a way that makes sense to me and speculate on what it might all mean!)
So it seems like we've got a Build-style "two items" deal for our first three riders, who all use the same belt:
Rider #1: Dragon & Fire
Rider #2: Lion & Water
Rider #3: not explicitly stated, but seems like Aladdin & Thunder
Looks like you can buy either the Belt & Dragon/Fire together, or a combo set with the Belt, Dragon/Fire, and Lion/Water. Lion/Water and Aladdin/Thunder are also both available separately.
Then our next three riders all use a sword (Ken) to transform, but only with one item each:
Rider #4: Genbu
Rider #5: Sarutobi Sasuke
Rider #6: Hansel
Based on the prices (4000 JPY a pop) it looks like they each have their own version of the Henshin Ken. Either that, or you there's 3 different sets each packaged with their own item.
And then our final rider has their own belt, and already has a power-up item too!
Rider #7: Dark Dragon
Rider #7: Za-O (Evil King) powerup
Looks like you can get the Belt & Dragon item as a base set, or a combo with the Za-O item.
We then have a "Dragon & Lion" weapon, that presumably our first two rider share. Kyoutsu Kani & Kobuta items for Riders #5 and #6, which either are or work with a Belt (poor Rider #4 gets left out of the belt club!).
It then gets a tad confusing, as we have a bunch of items with various element, character, and animal themes listed as "left", "right", and "middle". Really scratching my head here - maybe the riders are actually made of 3 parts rather than 2? It doesn't seem like there's fixed combinations either, as both Aladdin and Cerberus are listed as "Thunder - Right". The mixing of mythical animals, real animals that happen to show up in stories, and mythical characters also strikes me as odd. Perhaps the elements are more like categories of item...
