Thanks to our friends at the Tokusatsu Network, we have translated details of the upcoming Kikaider movie, which many fans have been wondering about since it’s first “announcement” nearly a year ago.
The following is a translation of the story from the Tokusatsu Network:
– Kikaider was created by Nobuhiko Komyoji as part of the ARK Project. After Komyoji mysteriously dies, Kikaider begins his fight against the ARK Project, which has now lost sight of its original purpose.
Fans of the original series will be happy to know that the series’ original star, Ban Daisuke, is returning to the show as a character named Kyujiro, which when seen in Kanji, translates to “old Jiro”. Thanks again to the folks of the Tokusatsu Network for the translations!
Are you excited for the return of Kikaider? Join in the discussion already in progress!
Kikaida looks more aggressive than the original
Hakaida
Ban Daisuke will be Professor Maeno Kyuujiro in the movie (Maeno = previous, Kyuujiro = Old Jiro)
New suits are designed by Muraeda Kenichi (Kamen Rider Spirits)

It may just be the angle of the picture, but his torso looks way too long for his legs. Weird.
Is it me or does his hand on his red arm look like a claw? It may just be the angle of it. Onto the suit itself it does have a more vicious look to it then the old suit.
I do wonder if they'll try to go too grimdark with this reboot. Didn't the Gavan reboot bomb because people don't like serious tokusatsu? (no offense meant to anyone here; just an observation)
Oooh, me likey!
If that was the sole reason, Garo wouldn't be a franchise right now.
Hakaida looks freakin boss.
Ban said this movie is a "heart-warming love story" in the interview.
I know nothing about this show, but Haikada is awesome looking, Kikaida on the other hand has to have one of the worst designs I've seen.
Not only the hands but the eyes on Kikaida have different expressions.
Rage on the red evil side, and calmness on the blue good side.
I'll reserve judgment till I see a head-on shot of Kikaida. That's a weird angle.
OG Kikaida has such a bizarre, cool design. This is a very faithful rendition, but they maybe skewed the proportions a little too much, throwing off the look of it. We'll see.
