The ratings for last weekend’s premiere of Kamen Rider Wizard and the continuing Super Sentai Go-Busters have been revealed. While we didn’t post it on the frontpage, there was a discussion in our Go-Busters Discussion Forum about how Go-Busters had achieved something that no other Super Sentai show before it had – six episodes below the 4% rating level.
We are pleased to tell you (if you’re a Go-Busters fan) that Go-Busters has ended their streak – the last episode (Mission 28) scored a 4.4% rating.
Kamen Rider Wizard managed to premiere at an astonishing 7.1% – much higher than Kamen Rider Fourze ended on. Keep in mind, Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider W/Double premiered in the 10% range, so Wizard has a ways to go to get the franchise back to where it’s been.
At the current trend, Go-Busters is on pace to be the lowest rated/watched Super Sentai of all time. We will see how the second episode does for Kamen Rider Wizard.

Everyone predicted it, but now there’s some solid evidence to back it up – according to a video where the Wizardriver (the belt) is hacked, a special call-out is said, revealing a 5th form for Kamen Rider Wizard!
We don’t want to spoil you unnecessarily, so the details are after the jump. But here’s the video. If you don’t understand Japanese, you should be fine. If you do, click it at your own risk!

It’s finally here!
Kamen Rider Wizard has aired and your usual suspects have it ready to download sub-titled! This episode had it all – guns, swords, dragons, and pretty ladies! Fans of Kamen Rider OOO will love the fact that the Wizard Driver makes a lot of vocal announcements … my personal favorite being Shabadoobie Touch to Henshin.
So why don’t you Shabadoobie Touch to Discuss this episode[/url] with the rest of your Kamen Rider Wizard fans here at TokuNation.com?
Hey Power Rangers fans!
We brought this to you yesterday and since then Ron Wasserman has included another classic track in redux format!
Combat is now available for listen! It is important to note – THESE ARE NOT FINISHED SONGS. Most need mixing, or in the case of “Combat”, it needs the lead guitar. But this is a rare chance to catch early versions of your favorite songs being re-done, so head on over and take a listen!

After a successful and fun trip down memory lane with Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Dairanger, and Kamen Rider Ryuki, our Let’s Watch Wednesday begins a new (on a Thursday!) with two older Tokusatsu shows to watch – Chōjin Sentai Jetman and Kamen Rider W!
Chōjin Sentai Jetman[/u]
When the interdimensional organization Vyram attacks the Earth Ship developing superhero powers known as Birdonic Waves, the powers of the Birdonic Waves are sent spiraling to the Earth, being infused with four random civilians. It is up to Ryu Tendoh, the Red Hawk, to locate the four civilians and unite them together to stop Vyram, becoming Chōjin Sentai Jetman!
Kamen Rider W or Kamen Rider Double[/u]
From Wikipedia:
The Sonozaki Family sell mysterious devices resembling USB flash drives called Gaia Memories to criminals and other interested parties who use them to become monsters called Dopants, committing crimes with the police force powerless to stop them. After the death of his boss, the self-proclaimed hardboiled (actually half-boiled) detective Shotaro Hidari works with the mysterious Philip, who possesses the true Gaia Memory, to investigate crimes which involve Dopants. Using their own Gaia Memories, Shotaro and Philip use the Double Driver belts to transform and combine into Kamen Rider Double.
Get ready for a blast of nostalgia! This week we’re watching the following episodes!
Jetman[/u]
– 01 – Seek the Warriors
– 02 – The Third Warrior
– 03 – The Power of Five
Kamen Rider Double or Kamen Rider W[/u]
– 01 – Two Detectives in One
– 02 – Those Who Make the City Grieve
– 03 – How to Get to Heaven
You can find these series available on your favorite Torrent Websites such as Over-Time and TV-Nihon, or you can download them direct through our good friends at KRDL.INFO.

Hey Power Rangers fans!
If you don’t know who Ron Wasserman is, allow us to educate you for a moment. If you watched the entirety of the 3 season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and found yourself nodding your head to the beats of some of the songs, including the theme song, then you’re a fan of Ron Wasserman as he was the composer of all that juicy 1993 goodness.
Recently at Power Morphicon 3, Ron Wasserman announced that he was doing a “redux” on some of his favorite songs – not for any official reason, just because the songs are 19 years old now and he wanted to go back and “redux” them. He has since posted some samplings of the tracks (although very rough, no special effects, no mixing, all straight from the board) for all of us to enjoy.
Enjoy the samplings of the classic songs – 5-4-1, Fight, We Need a Hero, and I Will Win … as long as the beginning of his redux version of the longer version of Go Go Power Rangers.
Click here to check out the work-in-progress of your classic Power Rangers songs! Thanks to TokuNation.com user WhiteRanger for the heads up!
This weekend will feature the premiere of the new show that everyone speculated and has been talking about for a couple of months now – Kamen Rider Wizard. With the end of Kamen Rider Fourze it was time to open up our Kamen Rider Wizard forum!
So what are you waiting for?
Come and join the discussion in our official Kamen Rider Wizard forum!Don’t forget to catch the premiere of Kamen Rider Wizard this weekend!
