Thanks to Youtube user Wotakufighter2121 and a heads up from Tokunation member RiderSkyward we have our very first look at the DX LT-06 Tategami Rai-Oh from Tokumei Sentai Gobuster! This figure is BIG, interesting, and looks like a lot of fun. For some it may not be worth the high price tag and to others this fine toy may seem like too little too late in the Gobuster DX line. However this figure looks to be a great addition to any Gobuster collection. This video review shows off the Rai-Oh in Robo, Lion, and Bike (with Gobuster Ace) modes but does not show off it’s combining gimmicks with the other DX Buster machines.

UPDATE: Video now posted with additional combinations!

In the past week we’ve received a lot of new information about Kamen Rider Movie Wars Ultimatum, this seasons Kamen Rider crossover film. Now we have our first real look at the movie!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s3ia5RDQ-U&feature=player_embedded

Movie wars Ultimatum features Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Meteor, Kamen Rider Nadeshiko, Bisoujou Kamen Poitrine, Sanagiman of Inazuman, and more than likely Wizards’ secondary rider! Will this film be as great and successful as last years Megamax film? Only time will tell, and for American fans it’s going to be one painfully long wait.

Fresh off the unveiling of Kamen Rider Fourze and Wizard Movie Wars Ultimatum yesterday we now have confirmation of it’s writing staff! Returning to write the Fourze portion of the film, set 5 years after the series end with Gentarou as a teacher at Amanogawa, is the series head writer himself Kazuki Nakashima! Of course this would be unsurprising wouldn’t it?

However the big reveal here is that Wizards’ head writer Tsuyoshi Kida will NOT be writing the Wizard portion of the film. Kida is best known for his beautiful work writing the first 29 episodes of Kamen Rider Hibiki before the series had an abrupt shift and for better or worse Kida was replaced with Toshiki Inoue. Many fans had hoped that Kidas’ attachment to Wizard would bring that same flare and originality to the series. So far it has.

However the Wizard portion of Movie Wars Ultimatum will in fact be written by Yoshio Urasawa of such sentais as Gekisou Sentai Carranger and Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger! How does this revelation make you feel about the film? Is this a smart decision on Toei’s part? What can we expect from Urasawa who has never written for Kamen Rider before? Join TokuNations discussion on the subject!

For those who don’t know, a couple years back Toei imported Power Rangers SPD for viewing on it’s special Toei Channel. It was also released on a pair of special DVD box sets. This was a rebroadcast of the american adaptation of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger that featured dub work by the cast of Dekaranger over the US footage. This was even referenced in the recent series Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger. Well fans can now rejoice as the Japanese SPD dub is receiving a much wider release airing on Tokyo MX! This rebroadcast begins airing on October 6th 2012 at 7PM.

And we’re back for another round of Superhero Time updates!

As has been the recent trend Gobuster continues to improve! This week Tokumei Sentai Gobuster scored 5.1% which is up from last weeks 4.6%. Alot of this however can be explained by this weeks crossover with Uchuu Keiji Gavan Type G. Looking forward to next week’s finale of the crossover it’s safe to assume that Gobuster will have another good showing. This is the first time in 12 years that a Space Sheriff has been on television and it seems that people were ready for their return!

Kamen Rider Wizard is also up slightly, with a 6.6% rating, from last weeks 6.4%. This could also be thanks to the Gavan bump which Gobuster received. Viewers tuning in for the crossover probably stuck around after and pushed Wizard up a few percentage points. But Wizard is still a new and hot show, with ratings that are sure to change more and more.

So what did you think about this weeks new episodes? Head on over to our discussion threads here Gobuster 31 and here Wizard 4 to voice your opinions. Keep it tuned to Tokunation for any further updates!

This week Tokunation takes another look at the ratings for Kamen Rider Wizard and Tokumei Sentai Gobsuters! Gobusters has limped it’s way along up until recently when it’s last several episodes received a decent ratings boost, most likely because of the shift in plot and thanks to the premiere of Kamen Rider Wizard.

Now it seems that after a decent showing the past 2 weeks that Gobusters has dropped once again to 4.6%. That’s significantly down from last weeks 5.2% ratings. With Mission 30 having tied up the majority of loose plot threads (aside from a certain sleeping beauty ;) ) and a crossover with Gavan Type G coming up, it’s anyone’s guess as to how things could change. Kamen Rider Wizard on the other hand scored a 6.4% rating which is also down from it’s previous 2 episodes. But this series is still quite early in so we can expect a bit more fluctuation from it.

As Gobusters’ story and pacing improves along with it’s catchy new theme song and Wizard begins to take its’ place in the pantheon of riders we can expect to see these numbers change quite a bit. Will Tokumei Sentai Gobuster become the worst rated sentai in history? Will Kamen Rider Wizard push forward and keep above the low ratings suffered by Fourze? Stay tuned to Tokunation.com to find out!
