That’s right folks, Kamen Rider Movie Wars Ultimatum will be released in Japan in just a few weeks time! And thanks to our favorite anonymous 2ch poster we know that Kamen Rider Beast WILL appear in the film! Albeit at the very end. Here’s the info on his appearance.

Beast appears at the very end of the film. Already transformed so no confirmation of his civilian identity. No fight scenes featuring him. He simply says “Now, it’s eating time” then scans a ring on the right side of his belt. Which shouts “Fafafa Falco” and a cape appears. Then Beast jumps towards the audience, the cape covers the screen, and it fades to black. And that’s it. Nothing too crazy here. It’s actually less than we saw for the reveal of last years secondary rider, Meteor. Much less, at least then they revealed his civilian identity and he got to fight some Dustards.

The info also reveals that the ONLY returning actor from a previous season before Fourze will be Shun Watanabe as Kamen Rider OOO.

Thanks to some more creative fans in Japan we’ve seen yet another hack of the DX Wizardriver from Kamen Rider Wizard. This hack reveals something called Special Rush. Apparently Wizard will obtain and potentially use a ring by that name in Kamen Rider Movie Wars Ultimatum. The most intersting part is that when this ring is scanned across the Wizardriver it performs a special roll call for Showa riders. All of them from Ichigou through Shin. ZO and J appear to have been left out but depending on who you ask they are or aren’t considered Showa riders anyway.

But what does this shout out from the Wizardriver mean? Are we being treated to another round of awesome appearances by Showa Kamen Riders like we were in Movie Wars Megamax? The movie will officially feature Kamen Riders Wizard, Fourze, Meteor, Nadeshiko, OOO, Birth, W, and Accel, Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine, Sannagiman/Inazuman, and the Akumaizer 3. And presumably an appearance by Kamen Rider Beast! Will adding the Showa Kamen Riders top off this final love letter to the spirit of Inshinimori? Time will tell, stay tuned with Tokunation to find out.

If you recall about a week ago we ran a story featuring some rumors on the as of yet unconfirmed Akibaranger Season 2. Well we’ve discovered some more new info but file this story under rumor as well.

The same reliable 2ch poster that brought us the original news of Season 2 has let out information that the season will begin in April. And that Zukun Lab, the animation studio responsible for the shows CG, has already begun work on the new season! IF this turns out to be true that means we are now only 6 months away from a new season, and perhaps only a month or more away form the reveal of that season officially. Of course with it being April, this could become one GIANT April Fool’s Joke. True or not this rumor is sure to excite fans of the series. Join the discussion and let us know what you think.

And as has been speculated a new modern Innazuman will be making his debut in Kamen Rider Movie Wars Ultimatum! I don’t know about the rest of you but that design looks pretty killer to me! Sannagiman was our biggest hint up to this point since his form is the one which precedes Inazuman. Yet another Ishinimori character joins the cast of this film featuring Kamen Riders Fourze, Meteor, Nadeshiko, W, Accel, OOO, Birth, and Bishoujo Kamen Potrine!

Hey! Have you heard the hot rumors about Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger the Movie: Treasure of the Maid Empire? Well that’s all they are! Rumors of an Akibaranger feature film were actually fabricated by the shows production staff! It was an elaborate gag that began as a joke on twitter and played out quietly at Tamashii Nations 2012. They even went so far as to produce fake movie posters, tickets, and an Akiba Red giveaway mini figure!

However, don’t let this get you down as the rumor mill has begun churning again across the web. A certain reliable poster on 2chan is letting it leak that Toei is secretly filming an Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Season 2! Think this could be too good to be true? Well this individual has leaked very reliable rumors in the past relating to Kamen Rider Fourze and the Eternal V Cinema. There’s a chance my delusional brothers and sisters that this is happening! A chance for more of the fan favorite, critically and commercially successful, series to return! Stayed tuned for more info as it becomes available.

Thanks to this months issue of Figure-Oh Magazine we got some great updates on upcoming Figuarts releases. Likewise we get some more updates on Kamen Rider Fourze & Wizard Movie Wars Ultimatum! Revealed today are:

-The fates of the Original Kamen Rider Club! Gentaro the teacher, Ryusei the interpol agent, Yuki the astronaut, JK the Journalist, Kengo the researcher, Miu the model, Tomoko the author, and Shun the pro footbal player!
-The only current member of the Space Kamen Rider Club Miyoko, and her enemies the Monster Alliance
-The big bad tag-team of Sannagiman (Jiro Kazeda) and Herclues Zodiarts (Kagehito Banba)
-Potrines’ new civilian identity, Yu Uemura

Astute fans will notice the links between the new Sannagiman, Banba, and the Zebar device. All reinventions of concepts from the original Innazuman series. Could Jiro actually become the new modern Innazuman? Toeis’ recent trend of taking classic heroes and updating them with new actors (ala Gavan, Shaider, and Sharivan) could have set a precedent for this. Chōriki Shōrai!
