We are growing ever closer to the official reveal of the 45th Super Sentai series Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger and a plethora of new information about this new series has just been released online!

Thanks to LinkedToku on social media we have learned the following details-

Zenkaigers’ story begins with a pair of scientists that discovered parallel worlds & could concentrate the powers of these worlds into small devices called Gears. In the process they discovered a world of mechanical lifeforms known as Kikanoids– normally a peaceful people but now their world has been conquered by the Evil Dynasty Tojitendo that seeks to eliminate all other worlds.

The scientists’ son, a young man named Kaito (described as an adventurous friendly man with no sense of personal space) takes up the power of the Gears with another device- the GearTlinger to transform into a new Super Sentai hero- ZenKaiser!

Four of the Kikanoids are able to join Kaito-

*Zyuran– the senior member of the team, who thinks he is calm and relaxed but is in practice a stubborn old man. With the power of the Gears he takes on the combat form ZenkaiZyuran!
*Gaon– a peaceful airhead with a love of cooking, who becomes ZenkaiGaon for fights.
*Vroom– the educated team member with a love for schooling; his battle form is ZenkaiVroom.
*Magine– a shy otaku obsessed with the occult who can transform into ZenkaiMagine when needed.

The Zenkaigers will be aided in their missions by Secchan– a strange talking mechanical bird created by Kaito’s parents.

In addition to changing between humanoid-robo and Zenkaiger forms, the Kikanoids are also able to transform into Mechas! The artwork gives us some ideas of the combinations- a type of SYMMETRICAL DOCKING where one Zenkai Robo forms half the combination.

Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger is currently scheduled for release March 7 2021! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new chapter in Super Sentai history!

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.

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