    Oh good lord. This season is gonna have a lotta dramatic slow mo reveals with jingles that last this fuckin long.

    Amazing, they somehow managed to make the jingles even longer than Ex-Aid's. Hyper Muteki was already long enough, Saber's final form must be like a trilogy of hour-long jingles.

    At this rate, in a few years the henshin sequences/jingles will just be entire insert songs.

    It's like the Woz speeches from Zi-O but for each individual WRB itself, that's gonna become both be incredibly epic and incredibly annoying very fast. Hopefully the director can mitigate it by having the suit actors actually fight while the narrations play out.

    On a unrelated note, I'm kinda both surprised and confused by how the actual toys seem to work.

    So from what I can tell, the sounds appear to come from both the WRBs and the Sword rather than the Driver.

    • The WRB have sounds for them being initially opened, and being inserted into or removed from the driver.
    • The Sword holds the sounds for the standby noise, the actual transformation, the finishers, and the elemental emblem.

    But how does the sword know what WRBs are being used?

    You can apparently put the WRBs in any slot or in any order, but the sword still plays the sounds in the correct sequence. At first I thought it was the WRBs playing transformation sounds, but I realized the Lion Chronicle used in this demo is the candy toy version with no electronics, yet the sword still plays the Lion Chronicle sounds. So is there maybe a chip in the WRBs that the sword can somehow read?

    At the top of the sword is an NFC reader. All of the WRBs have an NFC chip in them, and when you remove the sword it is scanning them in succession just like the OOO Driver does with its scanner. It's easier to see near the end of the video, where the reviewer scans the back of the Brave Dragon WRB over the top of the blade, which activates the sounds within the sword.

    I might be mistaken, but it looked like pressing the sword's trigger during the transformation announcement caused the announcement to be cut short with a slashing noise.

    I just hope that in the show, the Riders won't just stand around and wait for the full announcement to finish every time, since that would get very annoying very quickly. Having the announcements playing while they fight, on the other hand? That I'd love to see!

    I thought they were going to cut the jingles short for the show

    Oh fuck it's another super wordy sing-song one. Sounds like like Zi-O/Ghost. I wouldn't be so opposed to such long jingles, but it's such a generic driver voice and the phrase isn't particularly ear-pleasing.
