It was announced that the latest work in the TV Asahi special effects drama series "Kamen Rider" (Sunday 9:00 am) "Kamen Rider Gavv" will start in September, and related words have been trending one after another on X (formerly Twitter). In addition, a certain Kamen Rider from four years ago also attracted attention.
The sixth Reiwa Rider, "Kamen Rider Gavv", will have a sweets motif, and will be the first Kamen Rider in the history of the Kamen Rider series, which has been running for over half a century, to transform with the power of sweets. The body of the main character, Kamen Rider Gavv will be modeled after gummy candy.
When the information on "Kamen Rider Gavv" was announced, Kamen Rider Slash who appeared in "Kamen Rider Saber" (2020-2021), became a hot topic in X. Kamen Rider Slash was also a rider with a sweet element, with his shoulder armor in the shape of a cookie and his ankle rings like donuts.
Because of this, fans of X raised voices such as, "A candy rider?! That's unprecedented!...I'd like to say that, but there was also Kamen Rider Slash," and "Should Kamen Rider Slash be said to be based on a candy motif, or a fairy tale motif?"
Additionally, many fans were already looking forward to a collaboration between Gab and Kamen Rider Slash, with comments such as, "I'm waiting for Kamen Rider Gavv and Kamen Rider Slash and TTFC."
