under Kamen Rider

We have sadly lost an important figure from Kamen Rider history.

Legendary composer Shunsuke Kikuchi who handled the very first Kamen Rider theme song- Let’s Go! Rider Kick– and many other Rider themes throughout the Showa Era has passed away at 89 years old.

Outside the tokusatsu world, Kinkuchi was a prolific artist- working on several anime themes including DragonBall, Doraemon, Getter Robo and countless others.

Our thoughts are with Shunsuke Kikuchis’ friends and family in this difficult time.

Toei has revealed two new Rider forms for the upcoming Kamen Rider Zero-One film, Kamen Rider Zero-One Others: Kamen Rider Vulcan & Kamen Rider Valkyrie!

This new film takes place after the previous Kamen Rider Zero-One film, with Isamu Fuwa & Yua Yaiba returning to face the final threat of Metsobujinrai.Net.

Kamen Rider Vulcan will abandon the ShotRiser Driver and take up the Zero-One Driver with a new Zetsumerize Key– the Dire Wolf– to become Kamen Rider Vulcan LoneWolf!

Meanwhile, Kamen Rider Valkyrie gains the Serval Tiger Key and activates her new form, Kamen Rider Valkyrie Justice Serval!

Zero-One Others: Vulcan & Valkyrie is currently scheduled for release on November 10 2021.

under Super Sentai

Some new images for the next wave of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger toys have surfaced online! This is our first look at the DX Mecha belonging to the Zenkaigers’ Sixth Ranger, TwoKaiser!

TwoKaisers’ main Mecha is the battleship Croco DaiOh! This is a golden battleship modeled after a crocodile. Croco DaiOh is capable of several configurations.

To aid in combat, TwoKaiser summons a pair of miniature robots- know as TwoKai Rikky (who embodies the spirit of Chouriki Sentai OhRanger) and TwoKai Cuttaner (which channels the powers of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.)

Both Ricky & Cuttanner can combine with Croco DaiOh to create the Mecha Combo TwoKaiOh! This Mecha has multiple configurations based on which robo is used- the primary forms are TwoKaiOh Rikky and TwoKaiOh Cuttaner!

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting new Super Sentai series!

under Power Rangers

We had the opportunity to sit down and chat with John, Jon, and Bridget from Hasbro to talk Power Rangers!  We were limited to questions related to what was revealed or shown during Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest, but we did try to sneak a few open-ended questions in there and were pleased with the answers!

Special thanks to Hasbro for the opportunity to chat and to our own Mike (aka OiToast) for the interview!  Check it out on our YouTube channel or by watching the video below!

under Super Sentai

We have our first look at the sixth member of the 45th Super Sentai Kikai Sentai ZenKaiger!

This is the phantom hero TwoKaiger– a golden warrior with his own arsenal of Sentai Gears!

TwoKaiser will gain power from a unique fusion of 3 Sentai Gears-

*#19 Chouriki Sentai OhRanger
*#33 Samurai Sentai Shinkenger
*#35 Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

The Gokaiger Gear will activate TwoKaisers’ base Ranger form & he can transform into alternate forms with other Gears.

To use the Sentai Gears in battle, TwoKaiser will need the KaiZoku HenshinJu GearDaringer! This unique henshin device also doubles as the new Zenkaigers’ main weapon; a gun that becomes a sword with a pirate wheel used to spin the Gears.

TwoKaiser should be appearing on screen with the Zenkaiger team in the near future! Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this new Super Sentai hero!
