The official TV-ASAHI page for the next Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Geats has been opened- sharing the full story of this new hero!

Kamen Rider Geats’ true name is Ukiyo Hidetoshi– also known by the nickname Ace. At one point, this man joins a contest known as the DESIRE GRAND PRIX– a contest where players transform into Kamen Riders and battle the dangerous JAMATO creatures. The winner of the Desire Grand Prix gains the right to reshape the world based on what their heart desires.

Each Rider will gain points in the Desire Grand Prix by battling and defeating Jamato. At time of writing, Geats is the only Kamen Rider revealed for the series- but rumors suggest there may be as many as EIGHT Riders participating in the Grand Prix.

The writer for Kamen Rider Geats is Kamen Rider veteran Yuya Takahashi– whose resume includes Kamen Rider Ex-Aid & Kamen Rider Zero-One. Directing the series are more Rider veterans- Shojiro Nakazawa & Teruaki Sugihara. Longtime producer Naomi Takebe returns once again for her first Kamen Rider series in the Reiwa Era.

Kamen Rider Geats begins on September 4 2022!

It’s Cowabunga Time!

Ryan Parrott, soon to be the former writer of the Power Rangers comic from BOOM! Studios, will be returning with top-talent artist Dan Mora, for a sequel series to the original Mighty  Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book crossover.  Ryan Parrott has previously stated that doing the first book was a highlight for him so obviously a sequel is going to be even more amazing, more incredible, and hopefully full of more awesome Heroes in a Half Shell in Spandex!

Stay tuned for more details!

It’s a homecoming in so many ways.

Melissa Flores, former Director of Development for Power Rangers at Hasbro, as well as Producer on the Power Rangers Beast Morphers television show, and other creative and production related titles with Saban Brands, is returning to the Power Rangers brand as the writer for the BOOM! Studios comic book.  The comic – which has been split in to two titles currently (Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers) has been written by Mathew Groom and Ryan Parrott respectively – will return to a single title (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) with Issue 101.

Melissa is popular within the fan community for her interaction with fans at conventions and her online presence.  She was unceremoniously laid off by Hasbro a few years back.

She has partnered with both Ryan Parrott and Mathew Groom – as well as former Mighty Morphin Power Rangers writer Kyle Higgins – to start her own creator-owned comic book called “The Dead Lucky” which releases on August 3rd.  Be sure to check it out!

Earlier today we saw the first official images of the next Kamen Rider– Kamen Rider Geats!

Closer examination of the images gives us a few hints at this upcoming series. The Driver appears to use Gear-like devices, probably this seasons’ collector gimmick.

A promotional flyer for the upcoming Winter 2022 Rider movie (a crossover with Kamen Rider Revice) offers a brief teaser for this new Rider’s story:

“A young man will bet everything on a strange game, changing his boring life for something more exciting.
The game of PROTECTING THE WORLD!
Could he be the last victor?”

This suggests Geats may be in a contest between other Riders in his series.

Kamen Rider Geats will begin airing on September 4 2022! Stay tuned to Tokunation for further details on this new chapter in Kamen Rider history!
