What exactly is Zein’s deal again?

AI is made to destroy evil, goes nuts, as far as I can tell.

Zein is the Rider concept of justice taken to its frightening conclusion. Namely that evil must be eliminated from the world by any means necessary, even if it means removing all human conflict by removing human agency altogether. Pretty much Order Is Not Good as a Kamen Rider.
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Holy crap there's still 1 more episode guest-starring Legend.
Legend gets quite a few toys, they've got to advertise them somehow :p

Legend actually got the merch slots normally reserved for the secondary Rider. Remember that up until recently we'd get the secondary Rider's Final Form around this time. (Revice changed it up a bit because Holy Live was planned to be Daiji's Final Form, but then the rest of the show happened, while for some reason they went with a late release P-Bandai item for Keiwa's Final Form.)
I'm guessing Toei planning for a female secondary Rider meant that Bandai had to have a fallback plan because they're aware female Riders don't really move merch, and given the card motif going with Twokaizer 2.0 wasn't a bad idea.

We have a trademark for the next series. Kamen Rider Gavv

The current theory is that it's pronounced like Gabu, the Japanese onomatopoeia for biting and the two Vs will act as fangs.

I initially wonder why there are two 'v's when there's no mini-'tsu' katakana before the 'vu', but maybe that's to simulate a pair of fangs.

If that's true, then Kamen Rider Gavv might be the second vampire-themed rider after Kiva.

Huh, it would make the timing of the guy using Dark Kiva's stuff funnier.

"Vampire" feels like too specific a theme to reuse, but I wouldn't mind another monstrous Rider.

We're overdue for a werewolf themed rider.
Faiz doesn't count.

Holy shit, is that Date Masamune?
And it just so happened Kamen Rider Legend caught a glimpse of the Bad Future that Kamen Rider Gotchard Daybreak came from.

He was only there for a few episodes, although I did think he was likely to turn up again given that they hyped him up quite a bit.

Finally caught the most recent episode.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Metal Cluster Hopper....
Is (still) high quality.
I'm glad it got to appear again alongside Zero One and Kaguya as Zero two. I still think it's the better looking form and kinda hate that it wasn't the final one.
Anyway, with the upcoming movie, it'll be interesting to see more of Daybreak Gotchard, and learn just what happened that led to him going back in time to change things (and whether he's succeeded or not).

I do have to wonder if people would take Houtaro a bit more seriously as an MC if Junsei Motojima didn't have a case of permanent O_O face. That being said, it does allow him to pull off the himbo personality Houtaro has, so I guess it works out.

Gotchard does have the distinction of following after Geats w/c is a very Tough Act to Follow.
Doubt they want to have Gotchard to go and scrap Zein in his own show, anyway.
