TV-Asahi Announces Super Hero Time Hiatus Due To COVID-19

Posted on May 9, 2020 at 9:22 pm by Paladin under General Tokusatsu News

TV-Asahi has announced a hiatus of sorts for the Super Hero Time programming block- which currently consists of Mashin Sentai Kiramager and Kamen Rider Zero-One.

This hiatus is due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and the extended state of emergency in Japan.

For the next three weeks, alternative episodes will air in place of the usual Super Hero Time lineup-

*Kamen Rider Zero-One will release a two-part Presidents Special recapping the events of the series from Kamen Rider Zero-Ones’ perspective, followed by a Shooting Special shot from Kamen Rider Vulcan’s point of view.

*Mashin Sentai Kiramager will air the Episode ZERO special originally released in theaters, followed by Directors’ Cut revamps of the series’ first two episodes.

An exact return date for Super Sentai & Kamen Rider has not been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this unique situation!

    As expected, new episodes will be postponed due to COVID-19.

    next week, Kiramager airs Episode 0 while Zero-One does a "Presidents Special" clip show.

    Kinda disappointed the "President's Special" isn't just a clip show of all the asshat Company president Riders we've had over the years. Genm, Chronus, Zangetsu, Steve Bills. All our favourite cast!

    Still, a recap will be nice. Maybe it'll give them a chance to recontextualise past stuff with what we've learned from the characters since.

    This was bound to happen sadly. Oh well. All we can do is grit and bear it.

    3 weeks shouldn't be that long, right?

    Hopefully this doesn't cut the shows short and yes;

    ONORE COVID19!!!

    A perfect time for alluding izu intention or whoever design her/ reprogram her to do as imply in openings and early show rumors. Kind of like the thosuer duo parts specials with some scenes feature izu in flashback in indoor sets scheming or foreshadowing. It might change the outlook of the series again like fuwa's past becoming a blank slate. I guess no summer movies and a rush end or more focus /less filler for last batch of episodes when they start shooting again perhaps in June or July.

    About damned time, and I hope this means filming stopped weeks ago. I love toku, but it's nothing without the people who make it.

    Perfectly understandable and welcome decision. We can wait, there's enough stuff to do to kill time. Enough workouts to do, enough books to read, enough shows to watch and enough games to play.

    Nah, we don’t need a whole special for that. We’ve got this https://youtu.be/gdBDJ1EAtWs
