After some initial teasers & toy listings, we finally have our next look at the newest Heisei Rider- Kamen Rider Build!

Build uses a very basic design, with the suit’s color & shape being split in half depending on what powers he uses. By inserting Full Bottles into the Build Driver, this Rider gains a variety of powers!

Build’s various forms appear to be half animal-based & half technology-based. The main image we are seeing is Kamen Rider Build’s default form, referred to as RabbitTank! Brief shots of other forms are also seen, including RabbitCleaner and HedgehogTank.

We also get a quick shot of the series’ first antagonist, a mysterious new character named NightRouge! This villain seems to appear alongside the series’ second Rider, Kamen Rider Close! (note: official name spelling not yet confirmed)
