The first brief teaser for the 40th Super Sentai Series, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger aired during this weekends’ SuperHeroTime action block!
Although the promo is very short, we do get some excellent shots of the new team interacting, along with closer looks at the Zyuman animal forms of the four alien rangers.
Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger begins on Saturday, February 14 2016!
The official TV-Asahi page for the 40th Super Sentai Series, Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger has been opened! This gives us a plethora of new information about this upcoming series!
First off, a basic story outline has been posted:
Zyuland, a world parallel to ours, is attacked by aliens, the Deathgalian. Four of its inhabitants (called Zyuman), Sera, Leo, Tusk and Amu call for help a young man from our world, Yamato. After taking human form, they all five form the Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
Next, we have the Zyuohger main cast!
*Nakao Masaki plays Yamato Kazakiri/Zyuoh Eagle
*Miki Yanagi portrays Sera/Zyuoh Shark
*Nanba Shohei has the role of Leo/Zyuoh Lion
*Tsurugi Watanabe will play Tusk/Zyuoh Elephant
*Haruka Tateishi is Amu/Zyuoh Tiger
The four Zyuland Rangers are show to have animal-based alternate forms, similar to the Fist Sages from Gekiranger.
Rounding out the primary cast is Susumu Terajima, a veteran actor who will play Yamato’s uncle- an animal sculptor.
Last but CERTAINLY not least, we have learned the production crew for this new series!
*Zyuogher’s head writer is Junko Komura, previously the secondary writer for Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger.
*The series’ main director is Takayuki Shibazaki, whose resume includes Kamen Rider OOO, Kamen Rider Drive, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters and several others.
*Primary action director for Zyuohger is Hirofumi Fukuzawa, a long-time stunt actor who portrayed the Red Ranger in nearly every Super Sentai from Gaoranger to Gokaiger.
*Finally, the main producer is one Takaki Utsunomiya, veteran of Kamen Rider Wizard and Ressha Sentai ToQGer.
Definitely looks like a promising team for the 40th anniversary! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zyuohger details!
You may recall that on this day last year we posted our very first 2.0 Gallery kicking off our journey of self-improvement of some of our previous works. That gallery was none other than S.H. Figuarts Gokai Christmas! This year we wanted to remind you of this awesome figure on Christmas and also let you know that this gallery is good for an entry in this years Toku Toy Box! As with any other Toku Toy Box eligible gallery you just need to make a relevant (non-spam) post in this thread to give yourself another entry in out giveaway!
For a little refresher on this figure, Gokai Christmas was a special form achieved by Gokai Silver in Episode 44 of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. A Christmas themed episode itself, Silver/Gai sought to be more festive in the battle against Zangyack and so using his special abilities merged the Gokai Red & Green Ranger Keys! The result is this fantastic repaint that was released in 2013 as a Toei Hero.Net exclusive.
Though we’re sharing this gallery once again to celebrate the Christmas holiday, we know that many of our friends, family members, & staff also celebrate entirely different holidays all around the world. We’d like to take this moment to not only wish the community a Merry Christmas but also Happy Holidays! No matter what you may celebrate TokuNation is happy to have you here and we’re thrilled to continue yet another successful year with you.
The first magazine scans for the 40th Super Sentai Series have been posted online! In addition to some fantastic new shots of this upcoming team, we appear to have an accepted English spelling for the series- Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger!
While story details are unfortunately lacking at this time, we have learned that each Zyuohger has a personal title (likely part of the teams’ roll call) relating to their animal spirit. The Zyuohgers are referred to as Ohja– meaning Ruler or Monarch.
*Zyuoh Eagle is Ruler of the Skies
*Zyuoh Shark Monarch of the Rough Seas
*Zyuoh Lion is Ruler of the Savannah
*Zyuoh Elephant is Monarch of Forests
*Zyuoh Tiger is Ruler of the Snow Fields
These scans also give us some excellent up-close looks at the teams’ arsenal, including the Zyuoh Buster, the Eagrizer, and the Monarch of Robots, Zyuoh King!
Dobutsu Sentai Zyuohger is officially scheduled to begin on February 14, 2016! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new Super Sentai Series!
Another image of the 40th Super Sentai Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger toyline has surfaced online, giving us a much closer look at new Red Ranger Jyuuou Eagle transforming into an even more powerful form- Jyuuou Gorilla!
The form-change is referred to as Visor Up in the catalog; Jyuuou Eagle pushes the “beak” portion of his helmet upward to channel his second animal spirit. And this is more than just a cosmetic variation- Jyuuou Gorilla is depicted with HUGE muscles to signify the increase in power!
Will the other Jyuuougers be able to Visor Up as well? Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all details for this new series! And feel free to join in our Ongoing Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about the new Sentai!
The incomprehensibly annual grainy image period is over! We finally have our first true clear look at Doubutsu Sentai Jyuuouger! These new images finally give us a good look at several upcoming DX toys in the Jyuuouger line.
The Jyuuou Changer is indeed a cubical phone with a rotating element (think Rubix Cube) that allows you to choose the mode it’s used in (henshin, shokan, gattai). The Jyuuou Buster sidearm is confirmed to have both blade & gun forms. We get our first look at Jyuuou Eagle’s personal weapon the Eag Riser which is apparently also a segmented whip weapon!
But most interesting of all we get a fantastic look at the DX Cube Animals of the series! We’ve previously seen Jyuuou King, but these new images provide us with looks at Cube Elephant , Kirin, Tiger, & Gorilla. Kirin can become a Bazook for Jyuuou King, Gorilla Tiger & Elephant can merge together to form Jyuuou Wild! And these images also confirms a huge rumor, Jyuuou Eagle can transform into Jyuuou Gorilla!

Some new images from the Dobutsu Sentai Jyuuouger merchandise catalog have surfaced online!
For starters, we have our first look at this years’ transformation device- the Jyuuou Changer! This Changer appears to be a cube that can be converted into a cellphone.
Next, we get to see this teams’ main weapon- the Jyuuou Buster! This is a gun with attachment options for Jyuuou Cubes (exact effects unknown at time of writing).
Last but certainly not least, we have a clear image of the team logo! This artwork combines the various animal spirits for a very distinctive visual style.

The Thundering Brave, S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold has arrived for Toku Toy Box with a brand new 2.0 gallery! Rounding out our trip down memory lane with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger it’s fitting that we end that trip with Kyoryu Gold.
Though he may have been the final Kyoryuger released, Kyoryu Gold is by far the best. Benefiting from a slightly bulkier build than the the previous five, Kyoryu Gold has by far the most heroic proportions. On top of this the figure also features a wonderful gold paint finish, and a decent load out of accessories. The massive Zandar Thunder sword, several sets of hands, a #6 Zyudenchi, the pre-attached Gaburichanger, and the most important accessory of all; the Fang Shot! Which is the final piece needed to create the Kentrospiker!
With the apparent death of Super Sentai S.H. Figuarts we likely won’t ever get the rest of the Kyoryugers, but if that’s the case? Then S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Gold is an appropriate finisher to the line. To see the full 50+ image gallery and read an in depth review of this figure just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. And don’t forget this is gallery qualifies you for entry in our Toku Toy Box Giveaway! That means all you have to do is post something relevant to the conversation and you’re entered for a chance to win!
Brave In!
It’s been a long time coming but TokuNation is continuing it’s series of gallery do-overs or as we like to call them, Gallery 2.0! Earlier this year we posted 2 such galleries, S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Red and S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Blue & Kyoryu Green. Now this segment returns for Toku Toy Box with a 2.0 Gallery of S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Black & Kyoryu Pink!
Kyoryu Black & Pink may have been out for a while now but that doesn’t diminish their excellence. Kyoryu Black of course shares the same excellent male Kyoryuger mold we’ve we’ve come to expect & Kyoryu Pink is an all body type! As with their Blue/Green predecessors this set comes with an array of accessories for themselves and also for the team. Their respective personal weapons the Parasagun & Drice Lance as well as Armed On Arms to compliment them, Gaburevolvers & Zyudenchi, Gaburicaliburs and an array of hands, and of course the Shield Lan Slasher parts needed to build the Kentrospiker!
We’ve assembled over 70 images of the S.H. Figuarts Kyoryu Black & Kyoryu Pink set for your viewing pleasure. To see all of them as well as read an in depth review just click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. We’ll be back with another 2.0 gallery next week as we reexamine S.H.

It’s been a busy 24 hours for the 40th anniversary sentai, behind the scenes images, blurry catalog reveals, and finally a decent look at the toys we’re about to come to know for the next year.
In these clearest images yet from the Doubutsu Sentai Jyuouger toy catalog we’re treated to a full resolution look at the series initial main mecha, DX Jyuuou King! As well as looks at the first 8 Cube Animals in their alternate forms. This of course includes a small tease of Cube Gorilla & Giraffe. These images also give us our best look yet at the Jyuuougers themselves:
Jyuuoh Eagle
Jyuuoh Shark
Jyuuoh Lion
Jyuuoh Elephant
Jyuuoh Tiger
While there are most assuredly more images still to come related to Jyuuouger, for now these are the abosolute best quality we’ve seen. We’ll keep you up to date as more images begin to circulate!
