How can a television show get any better than this? In one of the most revealing, shocking, and tear-jerking episodes in recent memory, Kamen Rider Gaim has once again out-done itself with an episode that, as even the writer Gen Urobuchi has stated, “changes everything”. Check your favorite subtitle groups as the episode is out in full force!

We can’t really talk about the episode on the front page without spoiling the entire thing. Just know that the image attached – Micchy hugging/clinging the wall, falling down in pure shock and disbelief – is the same reaction that just about everyone watching the show had in that very moment. Come and join the episode discussion and give your vote to it by clicking here.

We’ll see you next week with another episode poll and discussion. Though how an episode can top this one is beyond belief, but we have faith that sure enough, it will happen. To the stage!

Enjoy how beautiful these figures are and the sad realization that the show will be half over by the time we get our hands on them. As soon as more information comes through we’ll throw it in this news post! Enjoy the temptation on your wallets!

Bandai have recently updated the Tamashii Nations website with new images of the forthcoming Kamen Rider Gaim S.H. Figuarts, announcing a special campaign to coincide with the release of Kamen Rider Gaim and Baron in May.

According to translation provided by Herotaku, a special stand will be included with Gaim while a Byōbu backdrop will come with Baron. Both figures will retail for 4104 yen each.

The most successful merchandise line for any Kamen Rider series by Bandai of Japan has pumped out some incredible toys the last few months – and one of the most anticipated was none other than Arms Change Kamen Rider Zangetsu. Serving as the main antagonist in the Kamen Rider Gaim television series as of this writing, the character in the show just whoops up on all the other characters in a way that would make any superhero or super villain salivate.

So to determine how a white plastic remold of Kamen Rider Gaim in to Kamen Rider Zangetsu holds up, we turn to our great pal and TokuNation.com contributor baltmatrix, who provides us with yet another video review, this time of AC05 – Kamen Rider Zangetsu!

After what seemed like the longest hiatus in the history of television (it was a week, but a REALLY long week!), the next subtitled episode of Kamen Rider Gaim is available courtesy the folks of Aesir Subs. When we last left our heroes, they had discovered some horrible truths about themselves, their Sengoku Drivers, and about Yggdrasill.

In this episode, “The New Generation Riders Appear!”, we rejoin Kouta and Micchy after the events from the previous episode. We also get a look in to the past of Kaito and Mai – and learn an interesting connection that they share which you just know will become a focal point of the series later on! We also catch up with Hase, who continues to deal with the events that transpired to him from the previous episode. Jonouchi and Oren Pierre Alfonzo have some screen time, and of course, the debut of the first Energy Rider! And some previews for Episode 13 that will BLOW YOU AWAY!

What are you waiting for? Come join the discussion and VOTE on the episode! And if you haven’t seen every episode up until now, you can still catch up using our Ultimate Kamen Rider Gaim Resource Thread – it has episode summaries up till the latest episode! We’ll see you in discussion! HENSHIN!

Bandai is at it yet again with more collectible trinkets of your favorite Legend Heroes! The Arms Change line for Kamen Rider Gaim has proven to be one of Bandai of Japan’s biggest sellers this season so cashing in on that success with this unique set was a no brainer. Much like Ranger Keys, Rider Rings, and all those that came before it, Legend sets sell incredibly well.

Featured in Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle the Legend Rider Arms are this years movie exclusive power up. Generally reserved for the main rider, the main 4 riders from the series; Gaim (Wizard), Baron (OOO), Ryugen (W), Zangetsu (Fourze) each receive the “Arms” of a senior rider.

With the high sales of the Arms Change line and the in demand nature of this set, surely Bandai knows they can cash in on us pretty hard by making more Legend Arms? We can only hope! To check our or full gallery of this interesting set click “Discuss on the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post. More Arms Change galleries to come this week!

New “Detail of Hero” magazine scans have started making the rounds for Kamen Rider Gaim, giving us an early look at the new Energy Riders! 

These scans provide beautiful up close & personal looks at all 4 of these interesting new riders. A couple unique things to note, unlike the standard Armored Riders their Lock Seeds do not simply flip down when sliced but instead open up or blossom out in 2-4 sectioned pieces. And in keeping with the squeezed or “juiced” theme of the Energy Riders the inner part of all their visors appear to have drops of liquid. It’s the little touches that really set off this amazing costumes. Check out all the images after the jump.

The first rider of this new group, Shin Zangetsu, is set to appear in this weekends upcoming episode of Kamen Rider Gaim!
