Toei has announced a new Super Sentai crossover movie- featuring the return of the Kishiryu Sentai RyuSoulger joining up with Mashin Sentai Kiramager!
Longtime tokusatsu veteran Koichi Sakamoto will direct this exciting new Super Sentai project.
A brief teaser trailer has already been released online-
Mashin Sentai Kiramager VS Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger is currently scheduled for release April 29 2021!
In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, Bandai’s Candy Toy Blog has released an official teaser image of the long awaited Gao King Super Minipla! For the time being all we have is this silhouette of Gao King as well as the silhouettes of the 6 Shodo Super Gaorangers in the background.
However, this teaser also promises more information to come next month, on March 5th & 6th. Today, February 18th in Japan, officially marked the 20th anniversary of Gaoranger in Japan, and in honor of that Toei will be livestreaming an event via youtube with the official reveals of both the Shodo Super Gaorangers & Super Minipla Gao King. Tune in then for more release info!
Bandai Japan has released a teaser for the next entry in the Shodo SUPER toyline.
The next Super Sentai to be released in this new series will be 2001’s Hyakuju Sentai GaoRanger (which Western fans will recognize as the source material for Power Rangers Wild Force).
Based on previous release patterns, this likely means a Super Minipla release for the Gaoranger mecha in the near future as well!

The villains for the 45th Super Sentai series Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger have finally been revealed!
This is the Evil Dynasty Tojitendo– whose goal is to eliminate all other realities from existence. The Dynasty has already conquered the land of Kikatopia– home to four of the Zenkaigers- and rules the once peaceful land with absolute cruelty.
The great leader of the Tojitendo is BOCCOWAUS– a silver entity fused with a wall. His orders are law and he shows no mercy. Boccowaus will be voiced by tokusatsu veteran Jouji Nakata.
Boccowaus’ closest subordinate is his bird, GEGE– who hates all non-Tojitendo life. Gege is portrayed by singer & actor Tatsuhisa Suzuki.
The field commander for the Tojitendo is BARASITARA– a brutal warrior thrilled at the chance to invade new worlds. Barasitara is voiced by Kenji Nomura– another tokusatsu veteran.
Rounding out the Tojitendo is IZILDE– the scientist, who steals technology from every world the Dynasty conquers. Izilde is voiced by Masanori Takeda.
Finally, a new ally for the Zenkaigers has also been revealed! This robot bird is named SecChan– once a toy belonging to ZenKaiser, SecChan possesses tremendous knowledge on the history of Super Sentai. Actress Misato Fukuen will voice SecChan in the series.
Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger begins March 7 2021! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this new chapter in Super Sentai history!
We are drawing ever closer to the 45th Super Sentai series, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger and a plethora of new images from this upcoming series have now been published online!

These Gears contain the powers of past Super Sentai and can be activated in combat for new skills- for example, ZenKaiser is seen using the Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger Sentai Gear to gain the wings of ZyuohEagle.
In addition, the new scans offer our first proper look at the villain group for this series- the Evil Dynasty Tojitendo, a sinister group out to eliminate all other realities from existence.
