Legendary voice actor Goro Naya, the voice behind the Great Leader of the evil organization Shocker has sadly passed away at age 83.
In addition to playing the Great Leader since the beginning of “Kamen Rider” through the recent 40th anniversary film, Goro Naya was the voice behind several iconic anime characters- including Inspector Zenigata of Lupin III and Captain Juzo Okita in Space Battleship Yamato
We must be getting pretty close to the in show reveal of Kyoryugold because an image with a clear look at the costume has finally surfaced! Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger’s 7th ranger so far has been rumored to be Torin himself but right now that rumor is unconfirmed. Oddly there appears to be an image of Magired blacked out behind Kyoryugold. Is that a clue that we may get another Magiranger alum in sentai ala Beet Buster? Possible.
Some new Super Hero Taisen Z images also tease us. One image in particular features Tokusou Sentau Dekaranger, Choushinsei Flashman, Kamen Riders Meteor & Fourze, Space Sheriff Gavan, and Kamen Rider Super-1. And of course what would a team up movie be without the plot device/hole that is Kamen Rider Decade? Who isn’t really space themed.

While the Kiva novel is a retelling of the series with new elements, much like the Agito and Kabuto novels, the Blade novel is a continuation of the series and thus may contain spoilers for those that have yet to watch or finish Blade:
