Kamen Rider Gaim: The Energy Riders, Gaim Goes Banana

New images for Kamen Rider Gaim has surfaced online, which revealed better images of the Energy Riders, two Riders teaming up and a Kurokage Army?!

Unlike the Sengoku Driver, the Genesis Driver's main gimmick has something to do with "juicing" the Lock Seed. As seen in the scan above is Takatora Kureshima transforming into Shin Zangetsu using his new Genesis Driver.

But he is not the only Energy Rider that we will meet next month! As revealed a few days ago, Ryoma Sengoku uses the Lemon Energy Lock Seed to become Kamen Rider Duke and Yoko Minato uses the Peach Energy Lock Seed to become Kamen Rider Marika.

As for the user of the new Cherry Energy Lock Seed, sadly he will not make his debut next month. It is also revealed that the four Energy Riders will use a weapon called Sonic Arrow. You can see Marika swinging her Sonic Arrow to fight Gridon and Duke shoots Ryugen.

Because of Bravo's strength, Gaim and Baron team up to face him! What's more, Baron lends Gaim his Banana Lock Seed, causing Gaim to transform into Kamen Rider Gaim Banana Arms! How long will this alliance last?

Last but not the least is that the Sengoku Drivers will be mass-produced, which lead to the creation of Yggdrasill's Kurokage Army security team. This development makes me wonder, what happened to Hase aka the first Kurokage?
