After an early teaser, we now have our first proper look at the 45th Super Sentai series- Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger!

This series represents a major change in formula for Super Sentai; instead of a human team the Zenkaigers are four robots led by the apparently-human ZenKaiser.

The other four members of the Sentai are known as:


*ZenkaiGaon
*ZenkaiZyuran
*ZenkaiMagine
*ZenkaiVroom

Each robot is based on an iconic Super Sentai Mecha- GaoKing, Daizyujin, MagiKing & DaiBouken respectively. According to toy listings, the Zenkaigers will use Sentai Gear to channel the powers of previous Sentai.

Sadly, no other details on the Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger have been confirmed at time of writing. Stay tuned to TokuNation for this new chapter in Super Sentai history!

We finally have our first look at the 45th Super Sentai series, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger!

The character in question is the leader of the Zenkaiger team- known as ZenKaiser according to toy listings.

The ZenKaiser suit uses a very different design pattern than recent Super Sentai offerings, including armor and a cape.

Will this mean more radical design choices for the rest of the team? Only time will tell!

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on this exciting new chapter in Super Sentai history!

Toei has put up a social media promotion for the next Super Sentai theatrical event!

The new project in question will apparently be a team event featuring Mashin Sentai Kiramager, Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger and a NEW Sentai- the 45th series Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger!

A new promo image was released for the film, featuring a silhouette of the Zenkaiger suits. The new designs are not fully revealed at time of writing but based on this early image the suits feature noticeable collars and antennae- perhaps similar to the original Himitsu Sentai GoRanger costumes.

Stay tuned to TokuNation for further details on the next chapter in Super Sentai history!

We have sadly learned of the passing of Mana Kinjo, the actress best known for the role of Ui Tatsui in Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger.

Kinjo had suffered from illness during the production of RyuSoulger, even departing the series for a time. She passed away on December 1 2020 at age 24.

Our thoughts are with Mana Kinjo’s family and friends in this difficult time.
