This weekend we got our first looks at the supporting cast of the 38th Super Sentai Series. And now thanks to some updated news reports we have some more details about the faces & voices behind these new cast members!
*The ToQGers’ team mentor Shashou is played by Sekine Tsutomu, a well-known comedic performer.
*His assistant, Ticket, is voiced by Yamaguchi Kappei a long-time anime veteran with an extensive voiceover resume, perhaps best known as the voice of “Ranma” in the iconic anime Ranma 1/2.
*Their robot helper, Wagon, will be voiced by Horie Yui another veteran voice actor & also a well-known singer. We may be in for some musical performances during ToQGer!
Finally, the villains voices were also announced by Japanese news outlets. Again, all four are long-time veterans:
*Nero Danshaku- performed by Fukuyama Jun (Lelouch Lamperouge of Code Geass)
* Noir Fujin- voiced by Hisakawa Aya (original anime voice of Sailor Mercury)
*Scwarz Shogun- voiced by Jou Haruhiko(Mastermind in X-Men Animeverse)
*Gritta Jou- voiced by Hidaka Noriko (Belle-Mère from One Piece)
No doubt an impressive staff that should give us some very entertaining performances this year!
As more info becomes available about the 2014 sentai, Resha Sentai ToQger, post your thoughts rampant rumors and confrimed info here
Currently we know or estimate the show to be train themed in some fashion based on it's title. Resha roughly translating to "vehement car", tokyu meaning "limited express train".
I'll start with a bit of speculation:
They'll have locomotives from around the world, with some being the classy passenger locomotives and others industrial workhorses.
The Power Rangers Version will have a hard time working with Trains as the main zords.
The first set of rumors from a few weeks back was that they were a set of rescue teams.
Their rescue vehicles stayed in trains and there were 3 teams from memory it was Water, Air and Ground rescue. 3 members in each.
The more recent rumors from around 2 days ago were
- a female yellow again
- the first robot is the combined version of 5 smaller robots
- I used google translate and it kept referring to their transformation equipment as wallpaper? *Shrugs*
- gimmick may involve coins and cards
- They are some sort of police force not rescue force
damn you google translate!
This is relevant to my interests.
Police trains eh? I can dig it. The coins totally make sense too. Though that keychain image may simply be blacked out mini figures or something I could totally see them being train tokens.
the Press conference will most likely be on the 6th of December (Japan time) with a small event on the 5th for toy retailers to come to bandai to look at the new toys and designs. (This is where we got that comment about the bandai executive calling Go-busters too dark and that's why the toys didn't sell)
I haven't seen any rumors about staff but I don't think Kobayashi will be back as Jojo Part 3 is starting soon and I think she is writing the adaption
Rescue theme? Cards? Next thing we know JAM Project will do the opening.
Rescue theme? Cards? Next thing we know JAM Project will do the opening.
I wonder what kind of crime you'd have to commit to have a police train chase you down
