If you’ve been keeping up with recent events, then you may know about coronavirus or COVID-19 and the impact that this awful disease has had on not just the world, but some of our general interests as well. It has just come to our attention that one of the lead actors of Mashin Sentai Kiramager, Rio Komiya aka Kiramei Red contracted the virus and Toei Studios has shut down as a result.

Fortunately, a good chunk of episodes up till the middle of May have been shot but filming was put on halt last weekend, and at this time we have no further information on what sort of delays this will cause.

We at TokuNation wish Rio and anyone else that may have contracted this virus a speedy recovery. We’ll be sure to update you as soon as more information becomes available so stay tuned for future updates.   

 

UPDATE April 3rd, 2020:

An official statement was released from Toei earlier today. A translation reveals that Toei Studios did not, in fact, shut down operations that day and was misinformation spread by the Japanese press.

MASHIN GATTAI!

A new month’s almost upon us, and a fresh set of magazine scans have been found online, here’s the latest on what Toei has in store for Mashin Sentai Kiramager!

A brand new mecha will be added to the Kiramger’s arsenal; King Express! King Express is made up of two train-like vehicles: one of which can transform into a dinosaur-like mode.

Do note that the names of the individual train have yet to be fully translated at the time of this writing, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as that info becomes available.
