Kamen Rider Saber / WMG

Pre-reveal

2020-2021 Kamen Rider predictions (50th anniversary)

Flags and countries.
- Since 2020 is the Tokyo Olympics and 2021 is the year before 2022 which is the Beijing Olympics, it will be nice if the rider after Zero-One will be based on countries in the UN with Japan being the main form. The secondary rider will be based on dependencies and the third rider will be based on states with limited recognition. The rider will have access country themed powers that have flags transformed into weapons and forms for the riders via blocks that looked like flags. Their final forms will be based on countries that are the largest by area (Russia for the main rider, Greenland for the secondary rider and Western Sahara for the third rider). The bikes will be based on India for the main rider, Cook Islands for the secondary rider and Taiwan for the third rider. The items will announce the country's name in Japanese and it's native language (aka the official language of that country). The flags (which they are sentient) transform into forms and powers and the sounds will be based on national anthems. They are designed after a flag. It will work similar to Fourze Modules.
- Main Rider Forms:
  - Japan (main form)
  - United Kingdom (2nd form)
  - France (3rd form)
  - United States (1 of the super forms)
  - China (1 of the super forms)
  - Russia (final form)
- Main Rider Powers:
  - Afghanistan (a hook)
  - Angola (a machete with a gear attached that looks like a gauntlet)
  - Australia (a boomerang)
  - Belarus (a gauntlet with a cloth that can strech similar to Lunar Memory from W used by Russia form)
  - Brazil (a 2-in-1 claw and punching glove)
  - Bhutan (an arm cannon that sends electric shock waves)
  - Cambodia (a device that has God-like powers)
  - Canada (a blaster used by the United States form)
  - Georgia (a staff)
  - Guatemala (rifle cannons)
  - India (Main Rider's motorcycle)
  - Iran (a boot that can kick an enemy faster)
  - Ireland (a radar)
  - Italy (a hammer)
  - Kazakhstan (a bow with winged blades used by Russia Mode that is also a mecha summoner but it requires Kyrgyzstan to summon the mecha)
  - North Korea (a wheel that make the main rider go full speed similar to Wheel Module from Fourze)
  - South Korea (a device that can control nature depending on a season)
  - Kyrgyzstan (a dagger used by Russia Mode that also used a arrow to summon and control the mecha)
  - Lebanon (a device that controls trees and plants)
  - Mongolia (a device that controls the soul and body of a rider)
  - Mozambique (a machine gun)
  - New Zealand (a device that controls water)
  - Philippines (a solar powered arm cannon)
  - Poland (a device that can control ice)
  - Portugal (a mace)
  - San Marino (a device that act as a fortification)
  - Saudi Arabia (a sword with a shahada gauntlet-like handguard)
  - Switzerland (a device that allows to heal anyone)
  - Ukraine (a Tryzub-like claw used by Russia form)
  - United Arab Emirates (an x-ray)
  - Vietnam (a device powered with cyber-technology)
- Secondary Rider Forms:
  - Puerto Rico (main form)
  - Greenland (final form)
- Third Rider Forms:
  - Kosovo (main form)
  - Western Sahara (final form)
- To activate the items for the first time, each must have an artifact related to a country.
Books & high school (for the second time)
- Titled Kamen Rider Read
- Main Rider would have large IQ like Hongo & Sento, with his default form being green with silver accents, have a motorcycle motif in lieu of a Rider Machine let alone any motorcyle, and have book-esque/eyeglasses visors. Said Rider appearance and mentality harks in mind of Ichigou, in celebration of 50th anniversary.
- Titular Rider also extremely serious and mature, but extremely friendly, social, and genuinely refuses to murder, period. His main goal throughout his series would be to juggle his student and Rider responsibilities while trying to pass high school & graduate.
- Riders' forms all have vehicle motifs.
- Monster race of the season represent letters of the Alphabet (A-Z) with one being on the heroes' side from the very start. Said monsters also compete to be the last one standing and get sealed not unlike the Undead.
- Lead cast and villains alike all homage at least one past Rider character.
- Overall tone is more educational and gentle, not to mention somewhat whimsical, yet has its fair share of drama and action. Especially considering the issues of Corona virus in 2020, not unlike how Fourze was to relieve the 2011 earthquake & tsunami.
- Head writer of the season guess: Junko Komura (Zyuohger, Lupinranger VS Patranger)
- Anyone Can Die onscreen gets averted for a change, only being limited to the associated movies.
- Most if not all the fights take place in an otherworldly realm.
- Rider belts all fully avert being called Drivers, not since Kiva.
- Much more nicer, heroic, friendly Secondary Rider.
- Absolutely little/minor to no Rider infighting whatsoever, a la Hibiki & OOO.
Chinese zodiac
Little Mons that transform into weapons as well as mini-armaments for the riders.
- The basis of this guess is how in this year (2020) the Precures are each partnered with their respective fairies and the Kiramagers are partnerd with their Mashin.
2020-2021 series revealed to be Kamen Rider Saber.
The 'book' and library theme is confirmed in Saber.

Two possibilities for Saber's tone..

Lighter and Softer: While it may be unlikely considering that its a multiple Rider show (a la Kamen Rider Ryuki & Kamen Rider Gaim), Saber's head writer was Takuro Fukuda who also wrote Kamen Rider Ghost and Ultraman Max, both that were generally lighthearted. Also noteworthy is the fairytale motif of the series and Wonder Books; plus there hasn't been a more uplifting Rider season since Ghost.
Darker and Edgier: As noted on the above bullet, Saber is stated to have at least 10 Riders, which in other words, a multiple Rider series. The other notable two that were like this were Ryuki and Gaim, both of which were (surprisingly) dark and feature their own intense dynamics (Ryuki was the first with villainous Riders while Gaim had numerous deconstructions and its Cerebus Syndrome).
- Kind of both? At first, it appeared like it would be Lighter and Softer, but then it became much Darker and Edgier later on.

- John Henry - Same as above, with a giant hammer
- Johnny Appleseed - Recolored from Jackun armor and given to Buster
The Adventures of Pinocchio

The Snow Queen
- This one ends up derailing the story with Frozen references
The Farmer and The Viper
Journey to the West
- Leaked as Saber's Fairy Tale Ride Book, Saiyuu Journey.
Momotarō
- This one's being saved for a Kamen Rider Den-O crossover. Bonus points if Buster starts doing Kintaros' neck cracking and Den-O Axe Form's Finishing Move.
Mythology, in particular:
- Arthurian Legend
  - This one's saved for one of the movies, just so we can have a CGI mutated knight monster that's hacked into pieces before it dies.
  - Confirmed as King of Arthur, though instead of a movie exclusive powerup it appears in-series as a non-elemental book with its ability being generating a giant Excalibur that transforms into a Humongous Mecha King Arthur.
Japanese Mythology
- One such folklore, Tsuru no Ongaeshi/Crane's Return of a Favor, was parodied with the Toys r' Us exclusive Kirin no Ongaeshi Wonder Ride Book, where instead of a crane in the story it's Geoffrey the Giraffe.
The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya
Kraken and/or Leviathan for Making a Splash (God Beast slot)
Spiders for its sticky web (Animals slot)
- Paired with Ananse on the Monster slot and Charlotte's Web in the Story slot
Other tales from 1001 Arabian Nights form the basis of a movie, with the Big Bad being Scheherazade who's sealed at the last minute by Kamen Rider Ghost.
- Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves: Me's a Crowd
- Sinbad The Sailor: Sends everyone to the back of an island-sized turtle in Wonder World for the final battle
- The Death of the Clown: Used after they have to finish off a human-looking villain, thinking it's for Disposing of a Body, but leads to a slew of past actor (including suit actor) cameos as they all figure out some other way of dealing with it
Billy the Kid (Fairy Tales slot) for arming the rider with a gun.
Dinosaurs! (Animals slot)
- This one's being saved for the Super Sentai crossover, borrowing Ryusoulger powers just in time for Power Rangers Dino Fury.
Modern Literature, Examples:
- The BFG (Allows a Rider to turn giant)
- The Iron Giant (Tetsuo gets to be a Rider using this one)
  - Jossed concerning which book he uses - it's actually Hansel and Gretel but could still be a powerup later on.
- Harry Potter
- WarriorCats
- PercyJackson
The Time Machine (this one could start a spinoff series, using a Time Travel motif while not burdened by being a Milestone Celebration, hence any past actor cameos are just as likely to be historical figures as well as past Riders)
Graphic novels:
- Watchmen (causes all the heroes to turn into Darker and Edgier versions of themselves, with increasingly violent methods)
- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (does the reverse instead, causing several other Ridebooks to flip open and release a bunch of literary heroes into the real world)
From other franchises, especially within Toei
- Cure Grace (Fairy Tales slot) that gives the Rider Healing Hands. For this case, the Rider can undo the effects the Alter Ride Book does unto the affect area before defeating the Megid.
- Omnimon, which is made up of two components:
  - "Great Warrior" (Fairy Tales slot) based on WarGreymon
  - MetalGarurumon (God Beast slot): gives the Rider an Ice-elemental Arm Cannon, but at the cost of wielding their sword on the other arm.
  - Touma just stuffs his sword into the barrel to swing it and then launch it, forcing Rintaro to take the MetalGarurumon Ride Book from him (also a nod to how the second Rider is usually a shooter)
- Doraemon (God Beast slot): gives the Rider a fourth-dimensional side-pocket.
- Luffy (Fairy Tales slot): the rider's left side can stretch like rubber!
The Ballad of Mulan. Bonus points if it's used by a female Rider.
Cthulhu Mythos:
- Ghatanothoa. (If Ghatanothoa were to appear in Saber as a Megid, it would be the second time an iteration of the Lovecraftian horror to appear in Tokusatsu since Ultraman Tiga.)
A dictionary for Saber's Final Form.

One of the heroes will inevitably be corrupted by evil.

Just like in Build and Zero-One, one of the main heroes will attempt to use a forbidden Wonder Ride Book and be controlled by a villainous or destructive force, which might prompt them to be skeptical about using it ever again.
- In addition, said Wonder Ride Book will need another one to keep it in check.

Based on how the Wonder Ride Books we know about are based on fairy tales and cultural tales...

There will be an evil rider that uses Wonder Ride Books based on horror stories or scary books.
- Bonus points if said rider is the secondary rider introduced in 2021
- More bonus points if said Rider uses books based on works by the Grimm Brothers and is a shout-out to Necrom.
- Even more Bonus Points if this rider has a Vampire themed sword with a visor themed after Kiva.

Saber's Super Mode...

Will be a Golden Super Mode created by the Book when it's restored.
- Jossed
Will be created from a original book written by Touma.
- Possibly the one he mentions writing based on himself and the other Riders resulting in him accessing all there powers ala Zi-O Trinity
Will use a different driver and a WonderRide book that "pops up"
- Kind of with Xross Saber, although the Wonder Ride books remain the same. However, the pop-up Ride book concept was used for Jaou Dragon and Emotional Dragon.

There will be a Another Saber.

Likely created for a stage show.
Another Saber will be a writer like Saber but will be in it only for the money and fame and not for noble reasons.
- Or will be someone who doesn't like books at all.
The appearance will have a more realistic European dragon on his right side with an Alter Ride Book on their belt buckle and a more barbarian appearance.
Alternate Identity: A Manipulative Bastard who withholds information, if not spreading misinformation. Is a Timejacker sealed in Zi-O Advent Calendar Wonder Ride Book.

All upgrades, including Super, Mid-Season and Final, requires specific combinations of Wonder Ride Books.

This is to make the most out of them.

Jossed.

Calibur was a previous Saber

Just look at him. His appearance screams Evil Counterpart to Saber himself. Once he fell, he discarded the Saber powerset for a similar yet corrupted version. It'd bring up some comparisons to the original OOO or maybe Proto Drive.

Confirmed. He is actually Daichi Kamijo, the previous Saber before Touma, who as far as Touma himself knows from his memory flashes, seemingly died trying to protect him year ago.

Every episode (or the series in general) opens up from a storybook opening up and flipping through its pages

Most likely titled Kamen Rider Saber itself.
Previous episode recaps may be done though the pages flipping too, much like how Zi-O's was done through Woz's Oma Advent Calendar.
The series ends with the storybook finally coming to a close, while introducing a new storybook (or a Wonder RideBook) of the next Kamen Rider series after Saber.

The Book of Ancients, regardless of it's mythical prowess, functions like a normal book

The pages are considered each individual wonderride book. And Lion Senki and Peter Fantasista are both concidered under the 'water' element. This means that there are 'chapters' that correspond to an element, and thus, a sword (Fire for Saber, Water for Blades, Lightning for Espada, Wind for Kenzan, Earth for Buster, Darkness for Calibur). This means that there could be a 'final' chapter dedicated to the end of the world and how it commences, given that it can even contain stories of the far off Zero One.

Um... Kind of? I mean, Solomon is using it as a transformation book, so...

A Video Pass miniseries being a Kamen Rider Blade reunion that crosses over with this series

Regarding that there is Blade and Blades, this could be a wasted opportunity not to have the 2 meet in some capacity. Plus Ryuki had its reunion special during Zi-O's run, which featured a new Battle Fight plus updates/returns on Shinji, Ren, Asakura etc. Maybe with Blade, there could be a new Battle Fight reactivated and in addition to (3/4 of) the Riders, also a slight possibility of some of the Royal Clubs also coming back. To put topping on the cake, maybe the return/updates of the show's famous memes, as well as maybe new ones.

Saber will side with Calibur.

He will eventually learn that the latter defects for a very good reason.

Confirmed, it turns out there was a traitor inside the Sword of Logos.

Touma is actually originally from the Wonder World or at least is a descendant of someone from it.

And that's what allowed him to inherit the powers of Kamen Rider Saber.

Fate of the girl

The girl Touma failed to save in the flashback in chapter one will end up being...

A future Rider
A villain
- Going of the first two points she's Calibur.
- Jossed. It's a MUCH older man.
Sophia, after some time zone shenanigans
- Jossed, Sophia was made to replace her.
Is Mei all along.
- Jossed.

It turns out that she was a conduit that connected both the regular world and the Wonder World, and she is still trapped in the Wonder World after being saved by Touma.

The Oma Advent Calendar will appear in the summer movie as a Wonder RideBook

And it will be part of a set of three for Zi-O with the Future Note and a third RideBook.
- When combined, will form an image similar to Zi-O Trinity.
Not fully confirmed, but the Zi-O Wonder Ride Book is called the Zi-O Advent Calendar.

There will be at least one female rider

Bonus point if it is Mei
- Additional evidence for Mei becoming a Rider: The ED has 3 people dancing and shows off three Kamen Riders in Wonder World. Two of the Riders are Saber and Blades, with the third not shown yet in the first 2 episodes. Two of the dancers are Touma and Rintaro. The third dancer is Mei.
  - Jossed. As shown in episode 3 and pre-release material, Touma's childhood friend, Kento is Kamen Rider Espada, the electricity themed third rider we see in here.
Alternatively, Touma's childhood friend.
Other candidate : Sophia
Confirmed by episode 25. It's Sabela.

Kamen Rider Calibur is...

Tassel
Mei Sudo
Sophia
Tetsuo Daishinji
- He's Slash.
Someone completely new
- Jossed? it seems to be someone with a familial relation to Kento.
  - That in itself may be jossed because Why go to the trouble of masking someone's voice and face if their identity is already revealed? That gives an indication that Calibur isn't who we think he is. If this is true, that means someone murdered Kento's father and stole his identity as Calibur. All to go to Avalon and obtain the King of Arthur book since Calibur's primary objective seemed to be reaching Avalon and obtaining the power that slept there.
A ghost, lich or a parasite or sort who possesses the body of an innocent person.
- The Kamen Rider Calibur whom the Sword of Logos witness as a traitor is but the host of the true Calibur; none of the members are aware of the actual entity.
An alternate version of Hayato Fukamiya.
Confirmed: Daichi Kamijo: The previous Saber.

Most of the recurring characters won't be human, will only be partially human, or will be an offshoot of humanity.

As noted by Rintaro's use of "Homo sapiens".

Tassel will be the Final Boss

A happy pink clown is very suspicious. It's a likely plot twist with him believing that people's fate is already written in a book.
- To expand on this idea, Tassel is the only "real" person, everything else we the audience see being nothing more than a story he's telling us. The series' big twist will be Touma & Co realizing they're "just" characters in a story, but still the kind of people to take their fate into their own hands, leading to Rage Against the Author in perhaps the most bizarre ending we've ever seen.
- Calibur's brief Motive Rant in episode 15 seems to imply just that.
- Nope, he kindof died.

Alternatively, Tassel will be a key character for the heroes

Like the mysterious gramps in Ghost, he too will be important in giving them clues or even producing some of the books.
- He did give Yuri the X-Swordman power up.

Death Is Cheap in the series

The theme is about story after all and children mostly prefer Happy Ending. And this is from the writer of Ghost. Expect any dead rider or civilian causalities be revived by the end of the series.
- Also adding from the above, there will be multiple rider deaths in the series.

Guesses for the Christmas episode

By now, it's a tradition for Kamen Rider to have an intense Christmas episode, usually acting as a plot twist or shocking swerve for the rest of the season. Guesses include:

The identity of the little girl Touma lost in the flashback is finally revealed.
Santa Claus is next door to their base!
Buster's death. The guy had so many death flags.
- Alternatively, Sora's death. This will definitely changes the series to a darker turn.
- Third opinion: Ren's death. His biasness towards sheer strength will be his undoing as he gets out-witted. Perhaps by a Killer Rabbit that's plush-sized and not a standard kaijin.
- Turns out it was Kento's. Not for long, though...
The Nativity is used for a Story-slot Ride Book, and the Musicians of Bremen get the Animal slot
A new batch of villains will be introduced.
- Sabela got introduced around this point, so yeah...
We'll get our first look at the second bunch of riders.
- Confirmed. Saikou appears.

The Four Kamen Riders that haven't been revealed yet will end up being traitors just like Calibur

Because with the large amount of Kamen Riders in the show, a Rider War is inevitable.

Jossed for Saikou, but confirmed for Sabela, Durandal and Solomon.

There is a forth Wonderbook category reserved for the other Secondary Rider.

It covers non-fiction human marvels.

The Greater-Scope Villain is a meta-god of sorts.

Rekka will break and will need to be reforged into a stronger sword.

This will be be the basis for a new base form, super form, or maybe even the final form.

Those who are lost to Megiddo attacks are erased from memory.

This is why Touma has forgotten the girl from his memories, since she got sucked into one of the Megiddo's books, he forgot her after the attack was ended. People who wield a Sword are immune to this, which is why Touma has begun remembering.

There will be a Swordsman of light.

It's already become clear that each Swordsman/Rider has a main element and that includes Calibur with darkness. This indicates the possible existence of a future light elemental Kamen Rider.

A leaked rumour suggests there is a Swordsman of Light, Kamen Rider Sonic, who uses the Sword-Ring of Light Terasu.
- Jossed. His name is Saikou and he's an Equippable Ally.

Touma's Final and/or Super forms will be like a pop-up book.

With a little dragon head popping out of the middle Wonder Ridebook once he pulls out the sword.

Emotional Dragon works like this.

Calibur will be revealed to be a double agent an agenda.

He will refuse to engage Kento in ways that would be nigh fatal.
- Jossed. SO hard.
  - Or confirmed, depending on how one looks at it. He sealed Kento in the darkness to save him.
At some point, will seem to betray the Megid by destroying the monster of the week.
- Nope.
Will be seen leaving the Sword of Logos North Pole base with a blank expression.
- Sophia will not acknowledge him having been there, until the reveal, that is.
- Ironically, the blank expression is Kento.
When the turning point comes, he will die to save Touma or Kento, wishing them to finish his book. It will turn out said book is needed to halt the Megid's plan.
- Nope, he gets killed by Desast.
- All jossed, although he technically is a double agent, but with his own agenda. There was a traitor in the Sword of Logos that he wanted to find.

A prototype Buster will show up...

...since the Doguken Gekido specifically says that Buster's form is a "remaster," suggesting that it's been upgraded or otherwise refitted before the series began.

A flashback scene or even a special might cut back to before this apparent "remastering."
Alternatively, someone else might show up with the prototype equipment, similar to the prototypes for the Beat Riders or Dark Necrom.

Related to the above:

We get an additional subteam with the second belt of the season

Instead of Wonder Ride Books they use scrolls, and instead of flipping open they "unroll" by extending out the side of the cylinder. This is the Rider system that sees the most reuse, either by the Megid or Elite Mooks or even Mei getting her hands on one. (Toy-wise, it's a more self-contained belt with no saber and all the electronics in the main body.)

Nope, but lots of other swords were introduced.

Sophia and Calibur have had a Sorceress and Skeletor relationship the whole time.

And taking the content leaks into account, this means that Kento is their son, or the girl from Touma's past is. Meaning that the incident from Touma's past was intended to just grab her, hence the Laser-Guided Amnesia.

Nope. Calibur is Daichi, the first Saber.

The remaining four riders elements

Since there are going to be at least 10 riders in the series and each rider has their own elements the remaining four could be light, ice, wood/nature and metal.

Light is Saikou, but the others are Smoke and Time.

There will be a modern swordsman Kamen Rider who made his own equipment

His equipment hacks into/forcibly unlocks the Wonder Ride Books' powers/technology for his own use.

Possibly even made his own (knockoff) Wonder Ride Book.
He may not even be a sword-user at all, but instead mainly using a gun/blaster, much like Ryusoul Gold.
Alternately they'll use sci-fi based Wonder Ride Books and have a laser sword
Kind of. Slash is the Blacksmith who made his own Seiken.

Kamen Rider Calibur was the previous Kamen Rider Espada

It only makes sense that his son would take up the mantle to replace him.

Jossed. Behind Episode 13 shows that Hayato was Calibur when he betrayed the Sword of LOGOS.
Ironically Confirmed with a different Espada. Kento becomes the third Calibur.

Touma may end up being the final Villain.

It was said at the time of Kamen Rider Zero One's Ending that it was a very "Reiwa" kind of ending. For those not in the know, the main character ended up being the main villain, if only temporarily. This statement would make sense if somehow the main character would end up becoming the villain.

Super Sentai Wonder Ride Books

Considering how much they're milking the series for merch, it'd make sense to at least release books for Kiramager and the up coming Zenkaiger.

Even better, they could have a book representing Kamen Rider, one representing Super Sentai and one representing Metal Heroes or the Ultra Series, for a "Tokusatsu Combo" or something.
Or just mix it up and have each franchise potentially take any slot:
- Story slot (left arm) - Mahou Sentai Magiranger (referring to Legend Mode), Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (Hiden discs), Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya (all the World Ninjas come under the same legend)
- Beast slot (middle) - Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger (Tyrannosaurus), Juken Sentai Gekiranger (GekiTiger)
- Monster slot (right arm) - Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger (Tyramigo), Space Sheriff Gavan (Dol Giran)

Mei will ended up as official couple to one of the rider

Just like Akiko
- My bets are on Rintaro. they seem to be rather close.
- Mei has a crush on Rintaro if Chapter 7 is any indication, only time will tell if they'll end up the Reiwa version of Terui and Akiko however.

Tetsuo is/was/will be Kamen Rider Slash

Possibly hinted since Sophia calls him "Slash", a name he claims he hasn't been called by anyone else in a long while.
May be the Swordsman of Metal/Steel, given his name and current work.
There are rumours of an upcoming Sword-Gun of Sound Suzune, likely to be his Transformation Trinket or weapon as Slash. If this is true, he may be the Swordsman of Sound.
- Confirmed. He is Slash.

The present Calibur is NOT Hayato Fukamiya.

They've revealed Calibur is Hayato already, but for some reason in episode 7 they made a point of not showing his face during his Transformation Sequence. His clothing also doesn't match either.
- This is basically confirmed in episode 10, when Sophia outright asks him who he really is. He's Daichi Kamijo, the first Saber.

Kamen Rider Slash represents oral tradition.

He's the Swordsman of Sound and his primary Wonder Ride book is based on Hansel and Gretel, which was first recorded by The Brothers Grimm, who famously wrote down many fairy tales and folk stories passed down through oral tradition across Europe for the first time.

Zooous may or may not be a villainous Butt-Monkey later on.

Depending on how long he lasts in the show, something might happen to Zooous, such as involving his large mouth getting severely damaged, thus starting his Villain Decay, for example. He is still a dangerous enemy, but at the same time, is on the receiving end of comical moments or physical comedy.

Ren will use a different transformation device at some point

It seems suspicious that there's no Stock Footage transformation for him out of the main 6 heroic riders.
Or he simply won't survive long enough.
They'll cheap out and recycle the effects from Ninninger.
Now Jossed, since his transformation sequence has been shown in his Day in the Limelight in the web series.

The Jaaku/Jaoh Dragon creature itself is intelligent and a hypercompetent possessive entity similar to Evolt.

Daichi really was trying to save the city from Calibur, only for Jaaku Dragon to detach and infest him after the explosion.
- Possibly confirmed with Kento potentially being corrupted by Kurayami following his defeat by Daichi but only after Daichi himself lost to Touma.
Kurayami itself is probably corrupted by said entity thus giving it physical means of possessing people.
- In light of the Chapter 24 preview, Kurayami probably isn't evil or corrupted but rather just a primal entity that bends to the whim of it's user.
- Kurayami isn't evil, and neither is Jaaku Dragon. Darkness is after all a primordial elements and not necessarily evil. It turns out that it gives its users visions of the future and its purpose is to seal Holy Swords.

But Now I Must Go series finale incoming

Basically everyone under Sword of Logos has to leave for their home dimension and never come back.
- They rule that Touma belongs more in the real world than theirs due to some memory loss remaining, as well as having way more memories of his time here.
- Rintaro pulls an I Choose to Stay, which crashes headlong into Surprisingly Realistic Outcome when he's in a world where he has no photo ID or social security number or even voting rights, putting his future with Mei in doubt.
- Ryo also stays on, since this is the only world where Sora can get a proper education, while Ryo himself gets Showa-style laborer jobs to get along (regardless of the actual nature of his workplace).

Alangina super book.

This troper was wondering what the super book for Espada would be like. You have King Lion Daisenki which opens down the middle and Dragonic Knight, which slides open. Maybe the super book opens and unfurls like a brochure/leaflet.
- We'd also need some way to make it work, since all the reviews show that the larger books don't fit into the "Monogatari" slot due to the design.
  - There's a Story Slot super book! It's the "Gin no Buki Kin no Buki" Wonder Ride Book. The Swordriver announces its name in terms similar to the way it announces Dragonic Knight and King Lion Daisenki. Similarly, Kurayami reads the book as "Giant Story" similarly to how it reads Dragonic Knight as "Giant Monster" and King Lion Daisenki as "Giant Animal".
- That's Saikou's Book.

Saikou is Kurayami's sibling.

I know it seems obvious given how Light and Darkness are naturally siblings, but...
A) Both use the same belt style.
B) Saikou has a button on it's bottom that can be pressed in a similar way to Kurayami.
C) Saikou seems to function differently than the Seiken, much like the Sword of Darkness.

Hence why I think it will be revealed soon-ish that Saikou was the other sword forged...likely by Tassel.

Confirmed. They were the first swords created and both were used by Saikou.

Reika is a Mole either for the Megid or someone worse.

Given her behavior of late it is at least safe to say she's no friend to the Sword of Logos. Either she's tearing them apart from within while gathering information for the Megid, or she's working for a much bigger threat entirely that is implied to be Big Bad of the whole series. She could also be the one who corrupted the first Calibur.
- Ironically, she is a mole... for the Sword of Logos, which had been corrupted by Master Logos himself. She also didn't corrupt the first Calibur, Master Logos did.

Touma will have to transform into Calibur at least once out of desperation.

Probably during a time where Rekka is damaged beyond repair and it would need to be reforged into a new sword.
- Jossed. Kento is the new Calibur.

The three Megid generals we see are the leaders of Sword of Logos' Southern Base.

Reika seems to be talking on her phone an awful lot before and during episode 16, and every time she does so, it cuts to the 3 Megid generals discussing things as though they are somehow connected. Is it possible that the Megid are in some way related to Southern Base?
- Jossed.

There's going to be a corrupted Holy Sword user(s) who uses Megid books to transform into a Dark Rider.

There is actually a hidden Wonder Combo in the Seiken Swordriver toy that only works with said Megid books and it's likely that one of, if not all of, the Megid Generals become Kamen Riders using them. And one of them betrays the other two by sealing them in their own books to gain access to the Wonder Combo.
- Um, isn't Calibur supposed to be the Dark Rider?
  - Wielding darkness alone doesn't make you a Dark Rider.
- Semi-confirmed on two counts starting with Master Logos, using Caladbolg and Omni Force and probably ending with, Storious who stole those upon killing him.

The third user of Ankokuken Kurayami is Kento/Espada

Confirmed!

The third Calibur is Tassel

Immediately after the reveal of Calibur's return, they showed Tassel's home, with Tassel conspicuously absent and the door open. It's been shown that Tassel is more than simply a narrator, as he gave Yuri the book that turned into X-Swordman. Reika definitely stole the Ankokuken Kurayami using the smoke sword, but perhaps she gave it to Tassel for some unknown reason.
- Jossed as of the above WMG's confirmation.

Reika's actions are out of paranoia of Master Logo's questionable choices.

Ironically, his decisions are legit in his own right.

Jossed. The entire Southern Branch is evil.

The key to taming Primitive Dragon is in three other dragon books.

Jossed. The Toy line shows a WRB that is compatible with Primitive Dragon and should theoretically tame it.
- Said book is Elemental Dragon.

Ren is gay.

Has anyone seen how obssessed he is with Kento? He was acting like a jealous boyfriend when Kento introduced Touma to him as a childhood friend.

Master Logos, Reika, and the rest of the Southern Branch are corrupt.

The Sword of Logos doesn't just have one or two, but several traitors comprising the Southern Branch, which will lead to an all-out war within the organization itself. Incidentally this is the reason behind Kento's disposition as the new Calibur, and his motivation for wanting to seal away the Seikens.

Pretty much confirmed by Tassel's dialogue with Master Logos in Chapter 26. The latter has stated his aim to unite the two worlds and rule over what's left.
Completely confirmed.

Tassel was (or still is) a wielder of one of the Seiken

Perhaps the unidentified Seiken seen in one of Kento's visions in Chapter 26, or possibly a former wielder of one of the others back when Yuri still wielded both Saikou and Kurayami.

If this is true, then his Transformation Sequence will be the most flamboyant in Kamen Rider history, and he will be the strongest Rider yet, wielding a Supreme Sword instead of a Sacred Sword.

Adding onto the above 'Tassel Wielder Theory' his sword will be...

A Supreme Sword of Life. Powers may consist of Aura Vision, Ki Manipulation, but mainly plant control and strengthening other Swordsmen.

Kurayami has a mind of its own.

Like its counterpart Saikou, Kurayami's power comes with the price of it gaining sentience (although in Saikou's case it was due to the wielder merging with it). Its directive to prevent the abuse of the Seikens has led it to become a Knight Templar of sorts, and attempts to rope its wielders into preventing the destruction of the world by sealing the Seikens. Incidentally, this may explain why all of Kurayami's wielders thus far have been Anti Villains.

Kento's mission to seal the Seikens is doomed to fail.

Even if he manages to seal their powers the, energy from the Seikens will simply build and build, and unless Luna is rescued the Seikens power, will explode and thus destroy reality. And Kurayami's visions are either too incomplete or too vague to, show these exact details.
Alternatively sealing the Seikens is playing right into, Master Logos' hands and will give him exactly, what he wants. A new world for him to rule.

Master Logos will become a new Megid General.

Just like what happened to Zoous, Storious, and Legeiel, the power of the Great Book will respond to, his own internal corruption and turn him into the newest, and final Megid General. Whom Touma with or without help from his fellow, swordsmen will have to finish off.
- Jossed. Storious kills him before that can happen.

The Shindai siblings will turn on Master Logos.

If Reika's reaction to Master Logos working with the Megids, is anything to go on everything she and her brother did was, because Master Logos convinced them that it was all for the greater good. When in reality it's all for his own gain which, the Shindais will realize and thus betray their master. Thus siding uneasily with the Northern branch who they hurt and, will probably not be too quick to forgive them but, will have to accept their aid regardless thus starting their likely, long and difficult road to redemption.
- Confirmed. Since he declared himself a God, they therefore do not deem him worthy of the Master Logos title and go against him. Although they do not team up with the Northern base at first.

Sabre's Movie-exclusive power-up will involve using Haouken Xross Saber with another Super Wonder Ride Book.

For Touma's case, he can use Dragonic Knight, Emotional Dragon or Primitive Dragon + Elemental Dragon, perhaps the latter as it's the latest he used before getting the Super Mode.
