A few more magazine scans have surfaced online, showing an early teamup between Kamen Rider Drive and Kamen Rider Ghost!

Kamen Rider Drive’s story will apparently conclude in Episode 47, but the final episode (title unknown at time of writing) will feature Shinnosuke finding a strange new device-the Newton Eyecon!

Locating the Eyecon brings Drive to Ghosts’ attention, while triggering a battle between the Ganma and the last surviving Roimudes.

A plethora of new images for the upcoming Kamen Rider Ghost have surfaced online, giving us several new details about this exciting series!

*First and foremost, we get a good look at Ghosts’ henshin sequence! It seems that Ghosts’ base body is essentially a blank slate and the alternate clothing mantles are ACTUAL ghosts that this Rider will wear during fights.

*Upon receiving his powers, Ghost gets a sidekick- a miniature white phantasm known as Yurusen that will teach Takeru about his new abilities.

*We also have some clear images of Kamen Rider Ghosts’ vehicle- the Machine Ghostriker!

*Last but certainly not least, we have our first good look at the Ganma monsters! It seems these creatures can take on mantles similar to Ghost and evolve beyond a basic foot-soldier configuration to a new stage known as Ganma Commando. The first three Commandos revealed in these scans are the Katana Ganma, the Yari Ganma and the Denki Ganma.

Kamen Rider Ghost premieres on October 4 2015! Stay tuned to Tokunation as we keep you up to date on all ghostly news!
