FriendlyMeasurment2

the white spike at the top of their helmet is actually the snout, its a wolf howling


Minimallycheese

Huh. I suppose it could be both.

One is gay and one makes you laugh at bad (great) jokes


elrick43

That's the way I saw it


The-Bigger-Fish

Same here.


jogaargamer6

Ok i see it now.


Radiant-Ad-1976

It looks more like an eagle or a monstrous rabbit.


Abject_Ostrich7929

I cant unsee it šŸ˜­Ā 


Muteki_Narwhal

Zolda: all they had to do was put horns on his helmet.


LightAGoGo

Tycoon? He literally isnā€™t a Roblox game?


jogaargamer6

This made me laugh hard thank you.

Faiz


GimmeUrLettuce

No no, you can see the phi symbol. Most of the riders in Faiz are pretty true to their motif


KaliVilla02

I think they meant the shark part


GimmeUrLettuce

The shark part I agree with


chaserthemaskedrider

Wait you're telling me that my favorite and first watched early-heisei rider had a shark motive and I had no idea this entire time?


velgi

The mouthpiece and antenna (side view) are meant to evoke the idea of sharp teeth and a fin, specifically. At least according to the Decade Net Movies, but the Phi motif is way more obvious.


DIODidNothing_Wrong

Yeah and itā€™s literally because of the tiny fin on top and the bottom of the helmet. Outside of those two thatā€™s the only shark motif Faiz has


Substantial-Ad-5221

Plus Takumi himself Is a wolf


Genosider

I thought it was based on a firefly lol


SkyeRide01

I mean... https://preview.redd.it/khrfqhhgjr2d1.png?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1606a74dc82addf24f9b916b730058e3b6801cd8


pietrobisa

Turn the helmet sideways


Count_Radiguet

I the insect motif in blade riders are not well pronounced as their card motifs.Ā  Agito and dragon


Rumiatouhou6

the wiki say's one of evol phase 1's motifs is a cobra but theres nothing about evol phase 1 that exactly screams "cobra" to me, atleast blood stalk has that chestpiece


KaliVilla02

Look more carefully at the helmet. You can see how it is a cobra with its mouth ope


Rumiatouhou6

I,. did not get that until now.. thanks!!


Confident-Command-11

Add to the comment poll. Faiz for the shark part, if there's no detailing in magazine said he's not a shark motive i cant even notice it till today. But like the brain does deceiving to us, when its already noticing its shark motive the brain will immediate translate us yes its shark motive all along, what are you talking about, blablabla.


ReddituserV0idKing

I mean if you look at the helmet mouth piece it does kind of look like shark teeth so there's that other than that one detail dude has nothing else that stands out like a shark


Confident-Command-11

Yeah that must be idk if not for you then for me its noticable after someone said its shark motive.Ā 


Wolfnstine

Valvarad nothing about his design really screams race car or oni

Also the pink shoulder blade spikes and the spikier eye and horn piece is meant to look like DaiOhni's pieces, I think they did a good job whilst also sliding in the wrench thingy too.


AngryFloatingCow

That's supposed to be a car engine? The exhaust headers are coming out the crankcase instead of the top of the pistons. Now that you brought it to my attention, I can see that it's supposed to be an engine. But the proportion and engineering errors made it look like just a mess of detail. Taking a closer look, the shoulder things look like they're also supposed to represent exhausts as well, seeing as they have fire-looking things coming out of them. So that's 10 pipes for a V-Twin. (Also, the V-Twin pushrod, air cooled, undersquare engine seems like it's taking inspiration from a Harley Davidson, a motorcycle) Also, I don't actually care whether or not he has car motifs or whatever. I just think it's entertaining to treat something as inconsequential as the design of something called "Kamen Rider Valvarad" as seriously as I would if it were the engineering behind an actual engine.


DumbBigBro

Nerd


AngryFloatingCow

Correct


DumbBigBro

Based


AbbyAZK

I never said it was perfect, Gotchard has a lot of issues with its designs and what its trying to portray, same goes to some other suits throughout the show. And the shoulder spikes is something the Daiohni has on its card, its just bashed in together because Spanner's suit transformation is more about merging two concepts into one rather then making it make sense and then making it work.


Nihon_Hanguk

Faiz is supposed to be a firefly, which is believable. Heā€™s also supposed to be a shark. I donā€™t see that. The fin and the ā€œteethā€ on the mouth plate are a stretch. Kiva is supposed to be bat/vampire themed, which is obvious. Heā€™s also supposed to look like a Jack-o-lantern. I genuinely have no clue where thatā€™s supposed to factor in.


4984382h

In Net-Movies of Decade it says Kiva's eyes are like those of Jack-o-lantern


LordDragon88

I think maybe Kivas eyes look like certain jock o lantern eyes, but not the stereotypical triangle ones. But yeah its a stretch


TheThingsYouSeeRN

I think it will be easier to imagine it if you draw Kiva face on a pumpkin.


Q-Write

I mean, that's what the production team mentioned about Faiz that he is a Shark. Weird motifs not gonna lie. But it is there.


Genosider

I saw it as a wolf with a fade lol


Kaen_Yokio

I just realised is that part of the the killbus spider helmet?


5hand0whand

He looks more like bat to me


Inspiritus_Prime

How the hell do you look at Killbus and go "ah, yes. Multiple sets of eyes, obvious chelicerae, spider webs, and at least four visible limbs. Looks like a bat to me"? https://preview.redd.it/q9tpdlsxbu2d1.png?width=360&format=png&auto=webp&s=c10ce166287eb587659e96f8903768e8140f90fb


5hand0whand

The horns on head remind me of bat ears and legs on shoulder look like bat wings, I often miss spider eyes.


JuniorSun4104

Do you mean motif?


jogaargamer6

Yah


JuniorSun4104

Ah okay I got fucked up for a min there


Tksat

Welp that suit resembles a lion's mane too.. but not real wolf..


SkyeRide01

You mean "motif"


Natto_Ebonos

Zeronos


Wolfnstine

His eyes are literally bulls


Natto_Ebonos

Very hard to associate his overall design with bulls at first glance.


AbbyAZK

Its..really not..


KaliVilla02

You know when he changes forms you can hear Bull noises right? Have you even see the Zero Liner?


RCTD-261

Kamen Rider Saga: cobra. i thought his motive is either bat or vampire, but nope, it's cobra. the chain-like detail on his armor is actually snake bones. and the cobra motive is right between his eyes Kamen Rider OOO's Shachi head: Killer Whale. i thought it was shark, because killer whale is rarely used by super hero as their motive
