“I think I was destined to choose this path.”

Little did Sougo Tokiwa know, his childhood dreams of being a great king were prophetic in a way. Should they ever come to pass, they could create the desolate future ruled by Sougo’s own evil self, the overlord Oma Zi-O! In the present, Sougo journey’s down the path of the overlord, defeating Another Riders as Kamen Rider Zi-O! But with the Day of Oma approaching, will Zi-O become the evil overlord? Or will Kamen Rider Geiz, the Time Jackers, Kamen Rider Woz, or even Kamen Rider Decade, manage to contain his power? Time, will tell…

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Zi-O kicks off this year’s new Figuarts sub-line as a pretty solid release. While assuredly many will take issue with this figure’s lack of accessories (which are included with the Ride Striker) this figure has a lot to offer and lots of personality. Zi-O is a well rounded, well articulated figure that fits in fantastically with mainline figuarts as well Shinkocchou Seihou releases. Though Seihou Kamen Rider Kiva still hasn’t been released, seeing Zi-O with his fellow lead riders is still quite the sight. And if you happen to have a DX Time Mazine as I do, you’ll find that Figuarts Zi-O works quite well with him. Zi-O also compliments Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Decade marvelously.

Today, Toei began streaming a new video promoting the upcoming Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever film (which comes out in two days!). But rather than just a new teaser or trailer for the film, this video previews the films theme song, which is itself a compilation and re-mix of the Opening Themes for all 20 Heisei Riders!

Titled “Heisei Generations Forever Medley D.A. Re-Build Mix” this song arranges clips from each of the 20 Heisei Rider OP’s into one giant song, set to a variety of archival footage as well as new scenes from the soon to be released film itself.  This new theme was arranged by Daisuke Asakura.

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever hits Japanese theaters on December 22nd! Best to dodge spoilers on social media for a bit, but if you’d like to join in on our ongoing discussion of the film, feel free to pop into our discussion thread linked below.

“Time Mazine!”

The massive mecha known as the Time Mazine is the last line of defense between the rebels of 2068 & the dark overlord Oma Zi-O. These mass produced defenders have even been known to be used by the Time Jackers… Sougo Tokiwa was given access to one thanks to Tsukuyomi travelling back in time from this bleak future. A means of travel to the eras of the legendary riders that preceded him, Sougo as the present day Kamen Rider Zi-O will gain the powers of the past to save (or dominate) the future!

DX Time Mazine is the big DX toy of the line this year. In years past it was preceded by things like Captain Ghost, Tridoron, Suika Arms, and Wizardragon. While we don’t get to see a lot of the big items each year because of CG costs, Time Mazine is used fairly often actually. The DX toy winds up being one of the best articulated mecha we’ve gotten in a while (take that Sentai!) and is completely interactive with the Ride Watches of the toyline. This figure is also scaled to work with the Rider Kicks RKF line and even transforms to vehicle mode!

We’ve attached the full gallery of DX Time Mazine to this article, but you can also read up on our full review of the figure by clicking “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. Later this week, we’ll be back with the legendary warrior, S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Cronus!

A plethora of new magazine scans detailing the upcoming adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O have been posted online! These scans give us some very detailed information about the next adventures of this time-traveling Rider.

*The next stop on Zi-O’s tour is to the year 2011 and the world of Kamen Rider Fourze! WIth Fourze’s RideWatch Zi-O will gain the power of COSMIC ENERGY to activate the Kamen Rider Fourze RideArmor!This new Armor utilizes Fourze’s legendary Rocket Punch ability & can also transform into a Rocket Mode for direct attacks.

*Zi-O is also shown obtaining the Kamen Rider OOO RideArmor! This new form based on OOO’s TaToBa combo channels all 3 animal abilities for combat.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz will pick up a unique souvenir from the year 2003- the Kamen Rider Faiz RideWatch, activating Kamen Rider Faiz RideArmor! This configuration gives Geiz several of Faiz’ own weapons, including the Faiz Shot & Faiz Pointer.

*Perhaps the most powerful RideArmor yet comes from God Dan Kuroto– when Kamen Rider Geiz obtains the Kamen Rider Genm RideWatch to trigger Genm RideArmor!

*The last confirmed stop on the Riders’ tour at the moment is to year 2012 and the world of Kamen Rider Wizard! To obtain this Riders’ magic powers, the time-travelers must work with Kosuke Nito– better known as Kamen Rider Beast! Actor Tasuku Nagase will reprise his role as the mayonnaise-loving archeologist once again. Once the Wizard RideWatch is obtained, Kamen Rider Geiz will activate Kamen Rider Wizard RideArmor and be able to control magic itself!

Definitely some exciting times ahead AND several tributes to Kamen Rider history along the way! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider reveals.

With Kamen Rider Zi-O heralding the end of the Heisei Era for Kamen Rider, and in commemoration of the 20th Heisei Rider himself, Tamashii Nations has announced the S.H. Figuarts Heisei Riders Rising Project!

The Rising Project announcement promises the reveal of 3 new Heisei Rider figuarts in the near future. The first of these 3 riders will be revealed on August 24th. Currently speculation is running wild as to what these 3 figures will actually be. Will this be Kiva’s time? There’s Zi-O which begins airing next month  as well, so now would be an ideal time to reveal his first figuart. Then there’s the possibility that 1 or more of these figures could be a Shinkocchou Seihou renewal of an out of date release like OOO, Fourze, or even Faiz.

Exactly who these 3 Heisei Riders are, is something we’ll be watching closely in the coming weeks. So we’ll be sure to keep the community up to date!

At long last the full merchandise catalog for the next Kamen Rider series has been revealed- detailing the powers and abilities of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

*Both Zi-O and the counterpart Kamen Rider Gates use the Jikan Driver to henshin. This Driver uses a primarily digital display and changes format depending on Zi-O’s attacks- the most powerful move is listed as FINISH TIME.

*The Riders gain new powers from the RideWatches– small items with the faces of past Kamen Riders! These can be stored in the RideWatch Holder or compiled in the RideWatch Dizer for a combination attack! The RideWatches are not limited only to past Kamen Riders- some watches actually represent ITEMS from past shows, including the Suika Arms from Kamen Rider Gaim. The first catalog covers ALL Heisei-era Kamen Riders!

*By using the RideWatches, Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates will obtain armor based on a previous Kamen Rider design. The first configurations shown in the Rider Kicks action figure line show Kamen Rider Ghost, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, Kamen Rider Fourze, Kamen Rider OOO & Kamen Rider Decade!

*Zi-O’s signature weapon is the Jikan Gilade– a sword that becomes a gun. Meanwhile, Gates is armed with the Jikan Zax– a crossbow that turns into an axe. A third weapon known as the Ride HeiSaber is also on display, which channels the powers of past Kamen Riders for attacks.

*Kamen Rider Zi-O’s motorcycle is known as the Ride Striker and is summoned from a unique RideWatch.

*Last but CERTAINLY not least, Kamen Rider Zi-O has a giant Mecha! Known as the Time Majin, this robo will change forms & attacks based on what RideWatch is equipped.

Kamen Rider Zi-O is currently scheduled to begin on September 2 2018! Stay tuned to TokuNation between now & then as we keep you up to date on this exciting new Rider series!
