News about the upcoming 20th Heisei Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Zi-O continues to drip out on a fairly steady pace, and each bit we receive seems even more exciting than the last!

This latest batch of scans focuses first on the Jikku Driver, the henshin device used by both Kamen Riders in this series. The Driver face spins 360 degrees to transform and was apparently developed after years of research though its true origins are not yet revealed in full.

The Jikku Driver is powered by RiderWatches! These coin-shaped devices are said to contain the powers of previous Kamen Riders- and all the Heisei Riders are shown in RiderWatch form!

By inserting the RiderWatch into the JikkuDriver, a Rider gains new Rider Armor with unique abilities!

*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s first RiderArmor form uses the Kamen Rider Build RiderWatch- creating Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor!
*Kamen Rider Gates starts off with the Kamen Rider Ghost RiderWatch- granting the power of Kamen Rider Gates Ghost Armor!

In addition to visiting past Kamen Riders, this series will also resurrect VILLAINS from Rider history! Kamen Rider Zi-O is seen facing off against Lord Baron from Kamen Rider Gaim.

The world will get its first proper look at Kamen Rider Zi-O during the Kamen Rider Build: BE THE ONE movie- premiering in theaters on August 4 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Rider series!

In a surprising announcement for the rapidly-winding-down Kamen Rider Build series, a new Rider Form has been unveiled!

Fan-favorite supporting character Kamen Rider Grease will abandon the now-obsolete Sclash Driver and combine a Build Driver with the newly-completed Blizzard Knuckle to transform into Kamen Rider Grease Blizzard! This blue repaint of Greases’ original suit includes a Robot SMASH arm as main weapon, granting Grease the power to stand against Evolto in the final battles.

But Kamen Rider Grease may not be the ONLY Build Rider receiving a last-minute change! The same scans also hint at a new form for Kamen Rider Mad Rogue to be revealed in an as-yet-unannounced Hyper Battle Video.

What other surprises could Kamen Rider Build have in store for its final act? Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details!

These can be stored in the RideWatch Holder or compiled in the RideWatch Dizer for a combination attack!
