A new round of magazine scans has surfaced online, giving us some insight into the further adventures of the 39th Super Sentai Series!
*First up, we finally get to see StarNinger Chozetzu! Kinji will get a chance to use the super-armor & avenge his family!
*Two new Ninjas will be appearing in the future: Kikyo, a potential love interest for Takaharu, and her Master Iseki Rock– played by Ryoma Baba aka Blue Buster!
*The scans also depict Kyuemon breaking away from the Kibaoni and developing a secondary army!
A major element of Kyuemon’s backstory is revealed (or at least, hinted at) through these scans. We will keep spoilers off the front page out of respect for fans who wish to experience the story firsthand, but feel free to join in our Discussion Thread for these new scans if you wish to learn the whole story!
A few items for the coming month-

Of particular interest...
seems Kyuemon is male. Or at least, began life as a human male.
Yay Ryuji is back.
That has to be a misunderstanding, she clearly has a female name and voice. Or it is some female evil spirit possesses human male body deal or something, but why would they do that?
Either way, if it isn’t a misunderstanding Sentai needs to rework his Waifu-list. Or not... if he's into that kind of thing.
Actually, from what I've picked up on the internet here and there from Japanese speakers it's been suggested Kyuemon could be male right from the start.
Like the whole Luckyuro thing in Kyoryuger.
But aside from the fact that she has a female VA and a female name, isn’t she directly addressed as the handmaiden of the big evil boss? Okay, that could be a gender-neutral description in Japanese, but the subs displayed it as the female version so... eh.
I don't even know why I'm so invested in this, I don't even watch this show, but I guess it's because this is just so stupid.

We had it in past toku shows where one of the monsters is presented as male/female but is supposed to be the other gender. Redyue comes to mind who had a male voice and no female attributes to her looks but was considered a female.
For reference, here's where I first saw the whole debate rise up:

Sure it's TV-Nihon discussing it but their penchant to pay as close attention to the Japanese as possible was why I didn't immediately think to discard the thought. The character always struck me as female too.
Of course the alternate explanation is this is just another example of Heroshock getting completely the wrong end of the stick. It wouldn't be the first time.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
I'm very interested in the two new ninjas dropping in at some point. Might we be getting at least one more Ninninger?
Also a secondary army? I wonder causes Kyuemon to branch out from the first army?
A new purple Ninninger maybe?
I highly doubt we will get any new proper Ninningers out of it. If that would happen we would have known about it by now through Toy catalogues.
