*we previously reported the name of the Rider as Kamen Rider Mars, after discussion between posters in our forum, it seems like that Kamen Rider Malus is more appropriate as the name. Malus and Mars share the same katakana, but Malus is a type of apple which fits into the context better. There is still no official romanization of the name yet, but for the time being we’re sticking to Malus for now.
