Some new images have surfaced online apparently from the upcoming Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Gotchard.

*The new Driver (referred to for now as the Gotchard Driver, official name to be confirmed) matching the initial images of Kamen Rider Gotchard. This Driver supposedly functions as a card-reader for the various cards that will unlock Gotchards’ powers.

*A new Raise Buckle design for the currently available Desire Driver is on display. Could this be suggesting a crossover between Riders? Only time will tell!
