"A heroic man has a run in with the vampire, Sbarot. Sbarot, who was running away from something, usually doesn't bite people, as he doesn't like the taste of humans. Due to some kind of misunderstanding, Sbarot bites the man...
An unlikely, and fatal partnership has been formed, the man has been given the legendary powers, of the Kamen Rider!"
Here are various promo images of 2008's Kamen Rider Series, Kamen Rider Kiba. The rumors before hinted at the name "Kamen Rider Vlad/Blood" but recent promo material reveals the name as Kiba instead. What hasn't changed though is that the series will follow a horror theme this time around, with the main hero's forms inspired by famous monsters (dracula, werewolf, frankenstein and gillman). He'll have contract monsters (akin to Den-O's "Imagins") which will reside in a haunted castle which stores the monsters, and his weapons.
The rider seems to advance his forms and powers via new monsters, that he must awake via his flute. The monsters lie dormant as gargoyles in a "haunted-castle" that resembles a dragon called Henshin Residence DrangoCastle.
-The Rider is given his powers via, Sbarot (a Vampire sprite), who bites the rider, and makes the human his ally. Sbarot will probably speak.
-Other partner monsters will be introduced, giving the rider more forms. When the rider changes to these other forms, he will recieve a weapon, and the eyes on his henshin belt, as well as his base color, will change. From left to right: vampire form,
fang form, dive form and muscle form
Vampire Form- base form, partner is Sbarot, able to perform rider kick
Fang Form- Werewolf partner transforms into a sword, GaruruSabre
