Kamen Rider Saber Press Conference Details

One world is based on fairy tales and fantasy RPGs, whereas the other world is based on ‘our world/ reality.’ Now, the main theme/ gimmick of Kamen Rider Saber will focus on swords and books, with the book gimmick being referred to as the Wonder Ride Books. Furthermore, the series will feature at least 10 Kamen Riders throughout its entire production.

 

The main cast consists of:

  • Shuichiro Naito – Kamiyama Toma/ Kamen Rider Saber: A novelist who obtains the Seiken Swordriver, that consists of the Saw Driver Buckle, Flame Sword Retsu, and the Brave Dragon Wonder Ride Book. As Kamen Rider Saber, Toma becomes a ‘flame-styles’ swordsman for the Sword of Logos.
