History WMG / KamenRiderExAid

Early toy catalogues show Lazer either turning into or combining with a CoolBike. So maybe Lazer is a TransformingMecha like [[Series/TokumeiSentaiGoBusters Stagbuster]] or the [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Auto Vajin]].

In ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', the Delta Gear could supposedly work for anyone, regardless of if they were an Orphenoch or not, so why not do the same thing for the game drivers? Maybe tie it in to the WMG for the Surgery Game Gashat, and have the rider in question be someone who has a bone to pick with one of the riders who had surgery, or survived the Bugster Virus and wants to help the other Kamen Riders take the Bugsters down.

* Kuroto's father is actually the BiggerBad.

* An upside-down Gashat kind of resembles the number 9… If you squint…

** [[spoiler: Confirmed! The helmet for Muteki has ''9'' spikes on it]]
*** [[spoiler: [[FridgeBrilliance To think Toei's played such a subtly long game like this...]]Next year's number ten should be an interesting series if more than just final forms end up being linked across each prior series.]]
*** [[spoiler: It goes even further. Before Ex-Aid is in his final form, he's at Level ''99'', and all of his stats are at ''99'' each. Punches at 99 tons, kicks at 99 tons, jumps 99 meters in the air, runs 100 meters in .99 seconds… Holy shit that sounds like it'll hurt.]]

** I can say it's confirmed - I mean, just look at it. [[spoiler: Kiriya and Kuroto is dead by now. Kamen Rider Chronicle has been finished (look at episode 25 for the results). Emu is PatientZero and directly gives "birth" to both the Bugsters ''and'' the Riders. Poppy is now brainwashed by the new Genm CEO, who is actually a Bugster on his own. And just look at pretty much everything Genm did after he gets the Dangerous Zombie powers. Heck, even the movies/specials are darker in tone too. Brave's special has ''[[AxCrazy Takeshi Asakura]]/[[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Kamen Rider Ouja]] appearing in person''. Gorider mini-series has Ex-Aid meeting with five ''dead'' Riders (one, Blade, technically is still alive, but he's an [[Series/KamenRiderBlade Undead]] now). Snipe's special shows his fall from grace. Oh, and we only reach halfway through the series at this point now...]]
*** [[spoiler: Actually, listing all the things that happened through the second half of the story would make this guess look like an ApocalypticLog where the JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient is slowly ceasing to be enough.]]

* And now fully Jossed. All ten original Gashats have been cleared and no one got a Final Form [[spoiler: Except Genm. And his has nothing to do with the original ten Gashats. He needed the Doctor riders to clear all ten games for his ulterior motive, Kamen Rider Chronicle.]]

* Mostly confirmed, [[spoiler: as this was the goal of both Kuroto Dan and the Bugsters to create Kamen Rider Chronicle.]]

* Confirmed. Buggle Driver can be used only by Bugsters [[spoiler: or whatever Kuroto became following the events of #10]]. Also, some Gashats can be used only with it or by Bugsters.

* [[spoiler: Well, Kiriya's dead now. So now we wait.]]
** [[spoiler: Kiriya is back!]]
*** [[spoiler: Kiriya seems to be legally dead at the series finale alongside Kuroto.]]
* [[spoiler: It looks like we have our frontrunner! It's Asuna/Poppi! She going to double down with the dead female rider curse too!]]
** And [[spoiler: looking jossed for Poppy - the best chance they had to kill her off came and went, and not only is she still alive, she came to her senses and is back with the good guys.]]
*** Perhaps confirmed, as the preview of [[spoiler: #44 suggests that Poppy will sacrifice herself to help defeat Gamedeus, the final Boss.]]
*** [[spoiler: Poppy died and the dead female rider curse strikes again. But she and Parado will be back by the time of the movie.]]
*** [[spoiler: Poppy and Parado revived at the end and i called them both.]]
* INVERTED, oddly enough. [[spoiler: Kuroto came back and claimed the thing about continues to everyone's face]].

* [[spoiler: Confirmed as seen when Gemn returns from the dead having close to 100 extra lives much to Parado's ire.]]
* Confirmed with healing power up. [[spoiler: Also, Taddle Legacy is said to have this ability.]]
** [[spoiler:Proven in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending when Hiro used Taddle Legacy to heal his friends.]]

** TheReveal is that [[spoiler:the Riders have to be StrappedToAnOperatingTable so they can use Gashats. She was out to recruit M assuming he would have to undergo procedure first, instead of randomly coming across this guy who's M '''AND''' able to do it already. This would be important for another TheReveal.]]
*** [[spoiler: The compatibility operation is not as bad as to warrant StrappedToAnOperatingTable, but necessary because activating a Gashat without it doesn't generate the level and causes the user to be infected with Bugster Virus.]]

* Jossed. [[spoiler: When Kiriya's Rider Gauge went down to zero he didn't just die, he faded from reality.]]

* Jossed, as demonstrated by [[spoiler:Genm in Episode 11 himself to collect data on death. He may seem to survive it, but that's because of the Gashat generated from that data. And if that's not enough, Lazer was next to demonstrate that death.]]

** Confirmed. [[spoiler: Anyone who gets Game Over or vanishes because of the Game Disease is converted into data stored in the proto gashats.]]

* Semi-jossed, as [[spoiler:Poppy gets seduced/brainwashed by the Tokimeki Crisis Bugster into rejoining them in episode 24.]]

* [[spoiler: considering that Cronus seems to have big plans that might be a threat to both humanity and the Bugsters, both sides forge a temporary pact in order to defeat him.]]
* Zigzagged. Parado at first offered alliance with Emu only to be turned down, then Emu used said offer to trick Parado so he can use Hyper Muteki, and then [[spoiler: Parado joined Emu for real after Emu both killed and saved him.]]

* [[spoiler:by overwhelming Masamune's antibodies and killing him.]]
* Jossed. [[spoiler: Gamedeus came from Kamen Rider Chronicle as the final boss. Actually, Masamune destroyed him and absorbed his data.]]

* [[spoiler: Level 99 (Maximum Mighty X): Representing either program patch or the debugger.]]
* [[spoiler: Level 99 (Perfect Knock Out): Representing the rebooted games.]]

* [[spoiler: Level 0: Representing Alpha Test.]]
* Kamen rider Chronicle Gashat: Representing either the successful finished products or [[spoiler: the game system's administrator account.]]
* [[spoiler: Hyper Muteki: Obviously represents cheat code/device/program.]]
** [[spoiler: Hyper Muteki seems closer to GodMode player though]].

And I mean everyone. Humans, bugsters, mooks, meatball things, Another Hiiro, Dr. Pacman and his QuirkyMinibossSquad. Because Neo-Heisei that's why. If [[spoiler: Kiriya and Kuroto's death's can be so casually negated why not bring back Salty?]]

In the end, everyone 'died' because of the virus will be revived [[spoiler: as a Level 0 bugster,]] including Saki.
* [[spoiler: Saki was deleted by Masamune. She can't be revived anymore. Also, there are in fact Bugsters everyone in the finale, but that's because Masamune started ZombieApocalypse.]]

** To be exact, [[spoiler: Though Saki's data did return due to Reset, they still don't have a way to revive everyone in the series finale.]]

* [[spoiler: There is a way to reprogram Bugsters, but if such an effect can be achieved is currently unknown.]]
** WMG confirmed, but spoiler Jossed. [[spoiler:Poppi IS a reprogrammed Bugster.]]

[[WMG: The heroes will use [[spoiler: reset]]]]
* [[spoiler: This will return them way back when gemdeus are summmoned (their last save point) so that Poppy and Pallad could live once more]]

[[WMG: Poppy and Parado's [[spoiler: death]] are not permanent]]
They are perfect bugsters that could be [[spoiler: revived]] at any time.

* Jossed for his MidSeasonUpgrade (which was more akin to games such as ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''), but his final form, [[spoiler: Hyper Muteki]], is based around invincibility powerups, and is acquired by a Game Genie-like device, so semi-confirmed.

* [[spoiler:If anything it'll give him a super mode like it did to the previous three or four Neo-Heisei riders.]]

** Jossed - [[spoiler: it ends up being twisted by Kuroto when he comes back, saying he'll clear this even if he has to use continues]].

* Confirmed, but not in ''Ex-Aid''. [[spoiler: In ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'', a modified version (smash all the face buttons at once instead of A B) is used by Sougo, Geiz, and Tsukuyomi to enter the game world and fight Another Ex-Aid.]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed!]]
** [[spoiler:Worse than that. M/Orange Mighty Brother is in fact left over of Parado after he was separated from Emu.]]

** Confirmed, [[spoiler:Parado is M and in #29 uses the Orange Brother to fight Emu who is the Teal Brother]].

** Jossed. It was a different surgery. [[spoiler:Rather than infecting him with the Bugster Virus to allow him to use the Gamer Driver, it was to save him from [[PatientZero being infected by it in the first place]].]]

* [[spoiler:Confirmed. Except for the life saving surgery part, which has no effect on the virus.]]

** Zigzagged. [[spoiler: Yeah, Emu was infected by Genm Corp game, but it was a copy specifically sent to him for this purpose.]]

** [[spoiler: Confirmed. M is Parado or (theoritically) part of him left in Emu after being separated.]].

* Jossed - [[spoiler: M is Emu's bad version, but the True Ending villain is Kamen Rider Fuma, who doesn't have anything to do with him]].

** [[spoiler: Confirmed in a way M is Parado who was born from the game Mighty Acton C]].

*** [[spoiler:Jossed. Emu is the original personality and was influenced by M.]].

[[WMG: Emu [[spoiler:being PatientZero...]] ]]
... isn't his only connection to current events. In Episode 12, Kiriya says that Kuroto Dan came into contact with Emu 16 years ago, long before [[spoiler:Emu became PatientZero.]]
* Jossed. [[spoiler: Emu became PatientZero sixteen years because of Kuroto.]]

Well, there is precedent for a movie-exclusive form being weaker than the rider's final form (i.e., [[Series/KamenRiderOOO the Burakawani combo]] is weaker than the Putotyra combo, [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Gaim Donguri Arms and Gaim Durian Arms]] are definitely weaker than the Kiwami Arms), and excluding Lazer (for obvious reasons) and Gemn (who hasn't received any forms in catalogue scans, although there is the possibility of [[spoiler: Dan becoming Kamen Rider Cronus]]), Ex-Aid's the only rider who doesn't have a LV 50 form[[note]]Para-DX's base forms are both LV 50, and Brave and Snipe's MidSeasonUpgrades are LV 50 as well[[/note]]. If they were going to do that in the TV series, we would've seen scans by now, but a movie-exclusive form isn't entirely out of the question. Only question is what it would be.
* Jossed.

* [[spoiler: Confirmed.]]

*** [[spoiler: Jossed, because unless there's some way that a Bugster could have a bugster, he's human, since Parado is Emu's bugster]].

* Emu still used Sports Action Gamer when he had access to Mighty Brothers XX, so he is still open to the possibility of using lower levels. Plus, it's already available in the toyline, and as of episode 23, [[spoiler: Emu has the Girigiri Chambara Gashat]] so all Toei has to do is make a costume.

[[WMG: Emu will be killed by [[spoiler: Cronus while fighting him, Brave, and Lazer before being resurrected by the Hyper Muteki Gashat]]]]
* Assuming that [[spoiler:Cronus' alliance with Brave and Lazer]] will last after Episode 35, [[spoiler:Emu would convince them to stop before Cronus kills him]]. In the next episode, [[spoiler:the Hyper Muteki Gashat resurrects Emu, achieving Muteki Gamer as a result]].
** Jossed as [[spoiler: introduction of Hyper Muteki didn't involve Emu dying.]]

* Kind of confirmed - [[spoiler: Taiga wipes the floor with him and takes the [=DoReMiFa=] Gashat from him by holding a patient hostage]].
** Hiiro remains a perfect surgeon, but otherwise proves to be BrokenAce [[spoiler: and got tempted into DealWithTheDevil.]] He is not perfect.

** Might be jossed - [[spoiler: While someone close to Hiiro did die, it was his girlfriend, not his father, and it was in the past]].

** And confirmed. [[spoiler: The patient was Hiiro's girlfriend.]]

[[WMG: The reason Hiiro gets the [=DoReMiFa=] Gashat…]]

* Except so far, we haven't seen IF the other riders could use Gashats that they weren't the first to use - although [[spoiler: now that Taiga has the [=DoReMiFa=] Gashat]], we could see this happen.
* Jossed - [[spoiler: Asuna/Poppy was a Bugster of the [=DoReMiFa=] Gasshat and Hiiro and Emu knew the whole time]].

Not '''exactly''' a WMG and more character analysis. The first one is clear, given that his nickname literally involves the words 'never fails.' Imagine how much pressure that is? The other one is looking at his behaviour in regards to Emu (in particular). When he realises that Taiga knows something about what's wrong with Emu, he follows him and learns about how [[spoiler: Emu has Game Disease]]. After that, he gets progressively less stoic in his attempts to [[spoiler: cure him]]. Given what happened to Saki, it doesn't seem like it'd be a far guess that Hiiro is getting irrational out of fear of [[spoiler: losing his fellow Rider to the same disease]]. If Hiiro doesn't like caring about people because he's afraid he'll lose them, and he's unwillingly broken that rule with Emu, only to find himself in a similar situation as before? Yeah, that'll throw him of his game (no puns intended).

His only wish is to [[spoiler: see Saki again]], so before the end of the series he'll either die or be close to death so his wish can be fulfilled. If he does he can join Saki happily in the afterlife, and if he lives on he'll have one last goodbye.

* Somewhat {{Jossed}} [[spoiler: with the reset she remained in the Proto Gashat.]]

[[WMG: Hiiro [[spoiler: was becoming too powerful so he will be killed off]].]]
[[spoiler: Let's face it. Taddle Fantasy is OP as fuck and Hiiro can't win on WeakButSkilled forever. So he is going to be killed off soon. Either by overusing Taddle Fantasy, being killed by the bugsters, or both.]]
* [[spoiler: Jossed. He survives and gets Level 99 Taddle Legacy.]]

[[WMG:[[spoiler: Brave will remain a villain until around Episode 40's.]]]]
[[spoiler: Assuming that Ex-Aid would achieve Muteki Gamer and beats Cronus but fails to kill him, Brave would achieve Legacy Gamer first before backstabbing Cronus and take back all of the stolen Proto Gashats at the end of his second fight against Ex-Aid.]]
* [[spoiler: Mostly confirmed. Hiiro returns to CR in #38.]]

* Kind of. [[spoiler: It turns out that Graphite Bugster was created from a patient of Taiga's infected by the Game Virus...said patient happened to be Hiiro's girlfriend at the time]].

* And Semi-Jossed, [[spoiler: Lazer's the first to die!]]
* Also partially correct, though, as [[spoiler:Taiga loses his Gashats in episode 18.]]

* Jossed - [[spoiler: turns out he used a Proto Gashat in the past. Said gashat likely gave him a higher immunity to the Bugster Virus. However, because he took a break from using it, he didn't suffer the same consequences that Dan Kuroto did from overusing the Proto Mighty Action X Gashat]].

Given Lazer is a ConsummateLiar, so noone (not even Emu) will believe him about [[spoiler: Dan]] being Genm. Hoo boy, I bet they will be shocked when they find out that he was speaking the truth.
* Episode 11 is titled "Who's the Black Rider?" Unless they have [[spoiler: Dan]] permanently give Gemn's Game Driver to someone else, odds are that everyone else will find out who Gemn really is [[note]]Even if it only reveals Gemn's name as a rider in-universe, that would still be a dead giveaway[[/note]], so this one could be confirmed.
** Scans show [[spoiler: Dan confronting the 4 main riders with the Prototype Mighty Action X in hand]], so this one seems more likely to be confirmed.

*** Then again, Lazer LV 2 is listed as Ex-Aid's rider machine on the wiki, so it could very well be that instead of him gaining an upgrade, he becomes the only one that Emu can trust (ironically enough), and he basically takes the role of Ex-Aid's rider machine permanently - and seeing as how there's only been one case where the rider's machine was destroyed ([[spoiler: Kamen Rider Black]]), that would pretty much guarantee his survival. Plus, [[Series/KamenRiderGhost Necrom]] was put on the backburner for merchandise in Ghost at this point in that series, so it could be that while he survives the entire main show, his upgrade will be movie exclusive, or they'll reveal it right before it debuts.
*** [[spoiler: Seemingly confirmed. The episode 12 preview shows him dying.]]
*** [[spoiler: Aaaand confirmed.]]

* Kinda confirmed. [[spoiler: He died before he could get anything higher than Level 5.]]
** [[spoiler: He uses protoype of Level 3 post revival.]]

[[WMG:[[spoiler:Someone will become the next Lazer.]]]]
Considering Lazer is pretty much Ex-Aid's bike, [[spoiler: someone will need to take up the mantle so he can still have one. It could even be a future character for all we know so far]].
* Seemmingly jossed. [[spoiler: One of the January scans revealed that Ex-aid can insert Bakusou Bike Gashat into the Kimewaza Slot Holder to summon an eyeless version of Lazer's level 2 form.]]

[[WMG: [[spoiler: They'll bring Lazer back for Chou Super Hero Taisen]]. ]]
[[spoiler: He's definitely staying dead in the TV series, but the plot summary for Chou Super Hero Taisen says "And then "Those heroes" Revive...". There is precedent for bringing dead heroes back for crossover movies (see Kaixa in Kamen Rider Taisen and Baron in the Gaim x Drive movie), and given how popular Lazer is, they might bring him back just for this ONE movie, assuming "Those heroes" refer to the dead.]]
* [[spoiler: It's confirmed, Kiriya will revived and be apart of for Chou Super Hero Taisen.]]

* Why would she though? [[spoiler: Emu has Lazer's gashat, and we don't know what happened to his game driver]].
** [[spoiler: Emu has (and for some time uses) Kiriya's driver.]]
** Jossed. [[spoiler: Nico takes Kamen Rider Chronicle gashat and becomes Rider Player Nico.]]

*** [[spoiler: Confirmed in Ep 36]].

* Jossed. [[spoiler: He is Kuroto Dan.]]

** Brave and Snipe might think that, but it's pretty unlikely that Lazer would think that, since episode 4 had [[spoiler: Genm attack him (Lazer) and Ex-Aid while the two were together, after he attacked Brave and Snipe]].

*** Unless Paradox ends up being a good guy (or at least, an anti-villain) and does this, this one was ultimately jossed by episode 5 - [[spoiler: all 4 riders are together when Gemn attacks, and Brave and Snipe don't even consider the possibility that Ex-Aid and Gemn are working together]]. Heck, he's even referred to as "Dark Ex-Aid" by Poppy, who's never seen him before.

* [[spoiler: Confirmed! New scans show Dan is indeed Genm.]]

** This troper thinks that Parad being Paradox is more likely, due to Parad's love of games. His name is also a dead giveaway ('''Parad''' and '''Parad'''ox). However, Parad's comment on "Saying hi" in episode 2 COULD mean that he's Genm. Since [[spoiler: Genm Zombie Gamer Level X has a different belt than the Gamer Driver,]] it ''could'' be possible that Parad starts off as Genm before becoming Paradox later...
** Jossed. It's [[spoiler: Kuroto Dan]].

Unless [[spoiler: Kuroto Dan]] ends up being an evil AU version of Emu as well, this one's jossed.

* [[spoiler: Zig-Zagged, Parado is revealed in the Heisei Generations Movie as Emu's Bugster thus making him technically a evil version of Emu.]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed]].

[[spoiler: Since Dan is confirmed to be Genm]], he will have a good reason of why he doing a bad thing and attacking other Riders, Maybe he is trying to prevent them from hiding the truth about Bugsters?

** Then again, if he wants as many Riders as possible, that may be why he apologized. Would also explain why [[spoiler: he gave Taiga the Driver and Gashat]].
** [[spoiler: Jossed. Genm's goal is wholly selfish. And he killed Lazer to boot!]]

Given what we've seen of [[spoiler: Dan]], this makes sense: One side psychopathic and evil, the other side closer to a normal human. Bonus points if the psycho side came from the Bugsters (Let's face it, [[spoiler: Dan's]] interaction with Parad and Graphite near the end of the raw episode looked like there may have been some mental manipulation involved).
* [[spoiler:Jossed. Dan simply hid his dementedness.]]

Look at the flashback were [[spoiler:Dan]] explains what happened on Zero Day. [[spoiler:It looks like he was right there when it happened.]] So perhaps [[spoiler:he was the first one infected and the Dan we know is the Bugster who was born from him.]]
* [[spoiler:Jossed. Dan used Emu to propagate the first Bugster Virus.]]

** Well, [[spoiler: Technically he died ''getting'' it. Didn't stop him though.]]

It Seem [[spoiler: Dan Kuroto]] AKA Genm will get killed off early but who will take over the ownership of Genm Corporation since that company provides Riders' Gashats and weapons
[[spoiler: Semi-Jossed. Dan died, but he didn't let that stop him.]]
* [[spoiler: And later confirmed. He was even replaced by a Bugster!]].

** Jossed - [[spoiler: they technically "resurrected" Gemn by reprogramming him to get rid of his immortality]].

* [[spoiler: Looking likely to be confirmed, since he's (really) dead now. Although his actor hasn't received flowers yet...]].
** [[spoiler: He's back...although at the moment, the odds of him being the Final Boss are 50-50]].
*** [[spoiler: Confirmed. The final boss will either be Dan Masamune, AKA Kamen Rider Cronus, or Gamedeus]].
** We got two in one deal - [[spoiler: The final boss is Gamedeus empowered Cronus as Masamune Dan destroyed Gamedeus so he could inject himself with it's data, creating a fusion.]]

[[spoiler: Dan's father]] told [[spoiler: Kiriya]] a secret about Genm but Genm killed him so the others don't find out about him. What is the secret that Genm willing to KILL him for?
* [[spoiler: Confirmed. Kiriya was figuring out the process of Reprogramming a Bugster to change its nature, and that Emu's status as the original Bugster Virus infectee made him uniquely suited to do so. Ultimately, the other Riders discover this and use the information to create the Maximum Mighty X Gashat, which allows Emu to Reprogram Genm, removing his immortality and enabling him to be defeated.]]

*** And jossed - [[spoiler: He's dead now. His actor has not received flowers yet, but if they were going to give him a new form, we would have seen something in the toy catalogs by now as previously mentioned.]]
*** Ultimately jossed. [[spoiler: Dangerous Zombies remains his only horror themed form even after his revival.]]

** [[spoiler: Somewhat confirmed. While Maximum Gamer is ''not'' Ex-Aid's true Ultimate Form (Muteki Gamer is his true Ultimate Form), because Hyper Muteki Gashat was not created yet at the point where Genm is defeated for good. It can described as Genm being defeated by Ex-Aid's true Ultimate Form... at the moment.]]
*** [[spoiler: Kuroto is back as Gemn Lv 0. There is just as much chance for him to become Cronus as there is for him to be the first character defeated by Muteki Gamer at this point.]]
*** [[spoiler: Ultimately jossed as Kuroto is not Cronus. It's his father, Masamune Dan.]]

** Ziggzagged. [[spoiler: Kuroto has been mad long before Zero Day, which he ''intentionally caused''. On the other hand, he had a FreudianExcuse in form of starting Kamen Rider Chronicle to preserve the data of his terminally ill mother.]]

[[WMG: At some point, [[spoiler: Genm will betray ParaDX]]]]
* [[spoiler: Scans show Genm and Kamen Rider Paradox fighting each other. Considering that Genm is already upset with Parado because the latter gave Emu the Mighty Brothers XX Gashat, Parado might do something that'll push the already unstable Genm off the edge]].
** Jossed on both parts. [[spoiler: It was actually Kuroto who pushed Parado of the edge, causing the beatdown.]]
*** [[spoiler: Parado ultimately betrayed Kuroto so he could usurp Kamen Rider Chronicle for himself]].

[[WMG: Genm will become [[spoiler:Cronus]]]]
* Genm's EvilPlan is [[spoiler:to make the MostDangerousVideoGame where everyone are Kamen Riders fighting for survival. The Kamen Rider Chronicle Gashat IS the aforementioned game.]]
** Jossed by the preview of episode 32 - [[spoiler: Dan's returned to using Dangerous Zombie. And Cronus is shown to be someone else. It looks more likely that it's Dan Masumune instead!]].
** [[spoiler: Yup, Masamune Dan is Cronus. Kuroto has never even thought about becoming Cronus himself as he meant that role for a Ride-Player champion completing the game.]]

** [[spoiler: Jossed - Emu reverses the programming of his powers using the powers of Maximum Mighty X Gashat, allowing him to be killed by Parado once Emu defeats him for good.]].
*** Zig-zagged - [[spoiler: He comes back, revived as a bugster by Poppy - however, she can trap him in a Bugvisor]].
** [[spoiler: He is imprisoned in #42.]]
*** [[spoiler: Seemingly has his freedom restored in the finale]].

[[WMG: Genm will be instrumental in [[spoiler:his own defeat]].]]
* In episode 22 he [[spoiler:'corrupted' Emu's Driver]]. However, that will end up allowing the [[spoiler:Maximum Gashatt]] to be completed, which is [[spoiler:implied to have the ability to nullify his immortality]].
** [[spoiler: Confirmed - because he chooses to let Emu live instead of simply killing him off, this allows Emu to use Kiriya's game driver, reach Maximum Mighty Action X and destroying his immortality with its reprogramming. This, combined with him pissing Parado off, leads to him getting offed]].

* He'll also be the bugster based on the game that started it all [[spoiler: Might Action C]]
** Jossed - [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Cronus is human with all antibodies, Masamune Dan. Also, Kuroto is a bugster himself now, and he's the bugster of Proto Mighty Action X Origin]].

** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Kamen Rider Paradox will have a Puzzle form]].
*** [[spoiler: Whose abilities includes area manipulation and free usage of Energy Items.]]

** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Kamen Rider Snipe's Level 50 form is accessed by an RTS themed Gashat called "Bang Bang Simulation."]]

** [[spoiler: In a rather horrific twist, it appears as if Dan's Kamen Rider Chronicle will work in a manner like this, except 'massive multiplayer' in this context refers to EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET, and everyone has to fight and kill each other.]]
*** Untrue, [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Chronicle wasn't exported oversea and it only requires players to defeat Bugsters.]] Also, [[spoiler: Genm Level X has the copies ability.]]

** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Genm's Level X form will be Zombie Survival based.]]

** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Kamen Rider Paradox will also use Fighting games]].

** [[spoiler: If by 'sandbox', you mean 'the entire planet' and by 'all Riders' you mean 'every single person on Earth' and by 'take on Bugsters across the country' you mean 'slaughter each other in a mad blood sport at Kuroto Dan's behest' then Kamen Rider Chronicle fulfills those requirements.]]
*** That's false, [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Chronicle is not exported oversea and players only need to defeat Bugsters.]]

** [[spoiler: Seems to be confirmed, Poppy will become Kamen Rider Poppy by using the Toki Meki Crisis Gashat. From the title it seems to be a DatingSim game, though nothing is confirmed at this point.]]
** [[spoiler: Confirmed, Poppy acquires it from the Toki Meki Crisis Bugster.]]

** [[spoiler:Cronus is Kuroto's father Masamune]].
*** [[spoiler:Cronus was supposed to be a final special character unlocked]].

*** [[spoiler: Well, Kamen Rider Poppy does use the Toki Meki Crisis Gashat, which looks like it was based off of Dating Sims/Visual Novels, but so far no reality warping abilities have been used by her]].

*** From that ending scene, I dunno... Genm/[[spoiler: Dan]] seems to have a few screws loose.

* [[spoiler: Given he was perfectly willing to ''murder a child'' and did kill Lazer, I'd say this is confirmed in favor of Genm.]]
* [[spoiler: Masamune Dan/Kamen Rider Cronus and the true final boss is so evil even Kuroto despises him. Is that enough?]]

* There's good money on him being the [[Series/KamenRiderWizard White Wizard]] of the show, manipulating both Riders and [[spoiler:Kuroto Dan]], with Parado and Graphite his envoys.

* [[spoiler: Graphite Bugster's actor received flowers after he finished shooting episode 10, which indicates that he's been killed off. So unless he ends up fusing with Parad as a dying action, this one has been jossed.]]
* [[spoiler: Jossed. Scan revealed Parado alone will transform into Paradox.]]

[[WMG: There will be a rider other than Emu who has not [[spoiler: had the surgery required to become a Kamen Rider]]]]

* [[spoiler: Confirmed - Parado becomes Paradox]].
* [[spoiler: As well as Dan senior and junior]].

* [[spoiler: Emu's twin brother Lru dying during the surgery]]

* [[spoiler: According to the Heisei Generations Movie, Emu's surgery as a child resulted in him living, but with a dormant bugster. As Kamen Rider Ghost proves with Movie Wars Genesis, it may or may not even be canon in the end]]
** [[spoiler: At the moment, it's been confirmed that Emu was infected by Game Disease as a child and had two surgeries. One in his childhood that saved his life after a car accident and one 16 years later, separating Parado from him. The surgery seen in Heisei Generations is the second one]].

[[WMG: Parado will get [[spoiler: his Gamer Driver from either...]]]]
* [[spoiler: Emu. With recent events, it seems Parado is going to work with the heroes to take Dan down. Given that Kiriya gave Emu his Gamer Driver, it would make sense that Emu would give it to an ally.]]
** [[spoiler: Jossed - Dan corrupted Emu's regular one, so Emu had to use Kiriya's. The only way that Emu would probably hand over Kiriya's is if Parado gave him Dan's in return, which would be pointless, since if Parad found Dan's, it would be a lot easier for him to just use it]]
* [[spoiler: He steals Dan's old one. After discarding it for the Buggle Driver, Dan probably placed his Driver in storage or something. Parado would take it just to stick it to him.]]
** [[spoiler: Confirmed]].
*** [[spoiler: This might only apply to the final battle]].

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Cronus is Dan. ''Masamune'' Dan.]]]]
* [[spoiler: Kuroto's father is actually the BiggerBad.]]
** [[spoiler: Confirmed. This guess has now been acknowledged on the Trivia page under IKnewIt. ]]

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Poppy's Crisis Gashat will be based on..]]]]
* [[spoiler: Either Rhythm games or Dating sims]]
** Confirmed - [[spoiler: the name was a huge hint to Dating Sims, but the Transformation Jingle pretty much confirms that it's based on Dating Sims]].

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Cronus is]]]]

** [[spoiler:Jossed, it is a Dan, ''Masamune'' Dan]].

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Maybe Nico has another Kamen Rider form?]]]]
We know that Nico is [[spoiler: going to be one of the Ride Players in the series]]. However, something bugs me off.

For some reason, in the new opening scene, [[spoiler: Nico is added to that particular scene. For those wondering/searching where she is, her position in that scene is between the two now-dead Riders, Lazer and Genm. In that scene, [[https://youtu.be/-Eu0-INw-j0?t=34s she has a background color that can be described as red]]. Does it means that she has ''another'' Rider form apart from her Ride Player form (whose color is brown)?]]

* Jossed, Nico has only one form as Ride-Player. [[spoiler: She tried to assume the form of Cronus, but was stopped by Taiga.]]

* Jossed - [[spoiler: It's Dan Masamune]].

** Jossed. PatientZero is [[spoiler:Emu]].
** Jossed even further - [[spoiler: Gamedeus, the final boss of Kamen Rider Chronicle, is stated to be the strongest Bugster, and as previously mentioned, Emu was patient zero]].

** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Emu and Hiiro knew all along that Asuna/Poppy is a Bugster.]]

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Parado is the Bugster that was born from Emu.]]]]
* [[spoiler: Confirmed in #28]].

* Jossed - [[spoiler: turns out both Poppy and Burgermon were created the same way as a any other]]...

* Both confirmed and jossed. [[spoiler: Perfect Knockout is not based on Tsukuru's ideas, but Parado made a HeelFaceTurn in the end.]]

* [[spoiler: He has Bugster abilities, and he was able to hypnotize Poppy into doing his bidding...almost as if he had used [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} attract]] on her]]...hmmm...
** The possibility of him being a Bugster is [[spoiler: highly likely. As mentioned above, when he is 'convincing' Poppy to do the song, there is a quick shot where you can see his eyes are glowing blue, combined with the echoing voice and the pink glow on the screen. Also, he's shown to be working '''with''' the Bugsters. Where is true loyalties lie remains to be seen]].
** [[spoiler: Confirmed. He's a rose-themed Bugster known as the Lovelica Bugster.]]

* Jossed - [[spoiler: turns out that a Bugster can be revived if the data was saved, and as it just so happens, the data of the other 8 bugsters had been saved]].

* Jossed. [[spoiler: Bugsters have this mindset because most of them came from violent games. Parado wants to punish humans for creating video characters as [[DesignatedVillain Designated Villains]] they can let their frustration out on. The less sane actions of Ride-Players are mostly caused by their TooDumbToLive attitude.]]

[[WMG:Gamedeus is [[spoiler:to Masamune what Parado is to Emu]]]]
[[spoiler:Masamune was the other PatientZero for the Bugsters, but while Parado is Emu's Bugster, Masamune's is absent. That's because it's Gamedeus.]]

** In a roundabout way, confirmed. The Riders are indeed all clearing the Gashats together. [[spoiler: It's just that the whole thing about collecting the Gashats was a big fat lie engineered by Kuroto Dan to get them to clear the games and give him all the Data he needed, leaving only collecting the Bugsters between him and creating [[DeadlyGame Kamen Rider Chronicle.]]]]

* [[spoiler:Jossed, she's a Bugster]].

It'd be the perfect time to make a new Battride War or a new MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. Not only past Riders, but with [[spoiler:VideoGame/PacMan]] in the movie the doors have been opened for [[spoiler:every other Bandai Namco property]].

* Touched upon casually in the Christmas Special, [[spoiler:she's a Bugster]]
** [[spoiler: Events following #28 show she is Bugster that came from Kuroto's mother that was infected by Kuroto specifically so she would die of Game Disease and he could preserve as data.]]

*** [[spoiler: All but confirmed - Parado stated that she was created the same way as normal Bugsters]].

* This isn't anything new. Villains are killed off all the time and riders are no strangers to death. [[spoiler: That being said, Kiriya's dead.]]
** [[spoiler: That being said, Kuroto is dead too. Both are revived as Level 0 Bugsters.]]

* Confirmed - see above. [[spoiler: Hello #12 and #29.]]

And her real objective is getting all the Riders to fight and kill each other. [[spoiler:The details of Kiriya's death might be covered up or otherwise muddled, leading her to target all of them.]]
* Problem: she hasn't interacted individually with Ex-Aid, Brave, or Gemn - while the last one we can overlook because it's not exactly clear if [[spoiler: the public knows Dan Kuroto is Gemn]], if that really WAS her objective, wouldn't she want Brave and Ex-Aid to have motivations to fight the other riders?

[[WMG: Alternatively, Saiba Nico is [[spoiler: the daughter of one of the doctors that were involved in giving Emu the Game Virus]]]]
She isn't shown to be hostile towards Brave, and she seems to want Snipe (the one who has the most antagonistic relationship with Emu) to defeat Ex-Aid. She's after him because [[spoiler: he was the only one to survive the experiment, and she believes he was responsible for killing her dad]]. Plus, if she was really Kiriya's little sister, it would have made more sense for the Motors Bugster to be the one who infect her.
* Jossed for both counts. [[spoiler:She's just pissed at Emu for beating her in a video game.]]

[[WMG: Asuna/Poppy is [[spoiler:the Bugster that manifested from Emu.]]]]

** If that was the case, wouldn't it make more sense if she was a bugster from [[spoiler:Mighty Action X]]?
*** Unless [[spoiler: Emu's game virus infection somehow created 2 bugsters]], this one was jossed by the events of Heisei Generations - [[spoiler: Parado is Emu's bugster]].
*** [[spoiler:Just like how Da Vinci murdered Ryu Tenkuuji?]]
*** Given the movie's [[LooseCanon dubious canonicity]] this one's up in the air.

*** Episode 28 jossed this one - [[spoiler: Parado is Emu's bugster]].
*** Jossed even further by episode 31 - [[spoiler: Poppy's the bugster from Dan Kuroto's mother!]].

* [[spoiler: Confirmed? Kinda. It was made by a Genm employee, not Kuroto.]]

* Not entirely out of the question - when Emu and Poppy visited him in prison [[spoiler: he didn't mention the effect that his wife's death had on his son. At the very least, this DOES suggest that he didn't get along with Dan Kuroto before Kuroto framed him]].
** [[spoiler:Confirmed, The apple did not fall far from the tree]].

* Don't count on it. She is based on the mascot, not the villain. All the bugsters that have been used in the creation of Kamen Rider Chronicle have been based on villains from the gashats. Plus [[spoiler: she's going to become a Kamen Rider herself]].
* Jossed now that he's [[spoiler:dead before he could get to her. And further before that, him crying out for the ''[=DoReMiFa=] Beat'' Bugster to come out when she's already there implies that she's not the one he's going to hunt down.]]
** Turns out [[spoiler: she WAS the bugster for ''[=DoReMiFa=] Beat'', but he wouldnt' have needed to kill her - Parado was able to get her data without killing her]]. But still jossed.
*** Ironically, [[spoiler: killing her would've been the last thing he would've done, since she's HIS MOTHER!]].

** Jossed - he's getting a lv 100 form, [[spoiler: Legacy Gamer]].

** Jossed. [[spoiler: He had a short stint as Cronus, but doesn't get an actual level 99 form.]]

[[WMG: Ren [[spoiler: used his mind control powers on the CERO staff to get them to rate Kamen Rider Chronicle A.]]]]
* The thing is literally [[spoiler:a weapon of mass destruction designed for genocide]], there had to be something nefarious going on to make that rating happen.

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Poppy's host might have been the real Asuna]]]]
* Assuming that [[spoiler: there actually was one and Poppy decided to take on her identity]]. Another possibility is that [[spoiler: instead of what usually happens with any Bugster host, Asuna somehow ended up taking over Poppy or became one with her, and neither of them actually remember what happened.]]
** Jossed - [[spoiler: Poppy's host was Dan Kuroto's mother]].

** Possibly {{Jossed}} since Parado first manifested as a young kid [[spoiler: during the Bugster separation surgery]], possibly like Poppy, his costumed human appearance IS his Bugster form.

** Jossed. He seems to manifest from [[spoiler: Emu's wish to have a friend to play with.]]

[[WMG: There may have been one last side-effect to [[spoiler: Masamune's reset.]]]]
Due to [[spoiler: resetting everything back to before Emu had his Hyper Muteki Gashat]], this seemed to also [[spoiler: undo all the events that happened afterward, such as the the Doctor Riders getting their Gashats stolen, Nico's infection from Gamedeus' virus, and Kuroto having 25 of his lives back (only to lose 12 of them again, apparently from overworking himself while making a new Hyper Muteki Gashat). The prototype Gashats also seem to be back in Masamune's posession]]. All of this could imply [[spoiler: he might have accidentally undid his own act of deleting Saki's data. Meaning there might be another chance to bring her back for Hiiro]].

** [[spoiler: Seems to be confirmed by the final episode, where Saki is listed among the victims who Emu is determined to bring back.]]
** [[spoiler: Ultimately confirmed by ''Brave & Snipe'', where she's temporarily revived and Taiga mentions that the reset restored her data.]]

* On the other hand, the writer for the series, Yuya Takahashi, is known for being the chief scriptwriter for WesternAnimation/{{Lupin III The Italian Adventure}}, a series that was rather lighthearted. Not to mention the chief producer, Takahito Ōmori, was the chief producer for Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger and Series/KamenRiderDrive.

Kuroto and Masamune are already {{Complete Monster}}s so why not make Sakurako AKA Kuroto's mom just as bad as well to round of the trifecta and come back from the dead as well? Basically making the movie a shout out to Tekken and Tekken 7 where its shown that the only good Mishima, Asuka is revealed to not only be the origin of the devil gene, but Heihachi's wife, an assassin, and pals with Akuma. It could even have scenes with Masamune throwing Kurpto of a cliff and the whole thing ending with the Dan family getting tied to a rocket and shot into space with Poppy looking on.

*** [[spoiler: Actually, listing all the things that happened through the second half of the story would make this guess look like an ApocalypticLog where {{HSQ}} is slowly ceasing to be enough.]]

[[WMG: In addition to the regular SuperSentai[=/=]Franchise/KamenRider Team-up, at least one [[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger Megaranger]] will show up at some point.]]

Since it's default form is a bike.

[[WMG: Kuroto is an Expy of the villains from MahouGirlsPrecure]]

It'd be the perfect time to make a new Battride War or a new MassiveMultiplayerCrossover. Not only past Riders, but with [[spoiler:PacMan]] in the movie the doors have been opened for [[spoiler:every other Bandai Namco property]].

* Jossed. The final form is based off the SuperStar powerup and is called Hyper Muteki.
