A handful of new images for the 17th Hesei-era Kamen Rider have surfaced online!
These updated catalog shots give us the best look yet at Kamen Rider Ghost along with two new forms!
*One headshot shows Ghost in yellow with modified eyes. At the moment some fans theorize this helmet may belong to the rumored Edison Eyecon.
*Another catalog image shows Kamen Rider Ghost using the Robin Eyecon! This form is primarily green and seems to be armed with a new weapon. Though no other images are available at the time of writing, translations of the available scans suggest that Ghost will also have a red form and a blue form.

Yet another new scan for the 17th Heisei Kamen Rider has surfaced online! This time we have learned the backstory for the upcoming series:
*Kamen Rider Ghosts’ real name is Tekuuji Takeru, a young man training to be a Ghost Hunter who receives the Ore Eyecon from his (supposedly deceased) father.
*When trying to protect the Eyecon, Takeru is killed by a Ganma– a monster from another world! In order to protect others from the Ganma, Takeru is given a secondary life and- by using the Eyecon with the Ghost Driver– is reborn as a Kamen Rider!
*Once reborn, Takeru must travel the world to collect the Eyecons of 15 Great Men in 99 Days, to earn one wish. But along the way, Takeru finds himself in a war that may change the fate of the entire world…
