Toei has announced even more veteran Kamen Riders returning for the amazing anniversary series that is Kamen Rider Zi-O!

*Actor Shun Nishime will be reprising his role as Takeru Tenkuji- also known as Kamen Rider Ghost! At the moment, it seems Kamen Rider Zi-O will visit Ghosts’ temple and as a result the King of Time will receive new advice from the ghostly Rider.

*Not to be outdone, Renma Taga shall reprise his role as Makoto– better known as Kamen Rider Specter!

Both Riders are expected to make their reappearance on November 25 2018! Feel free to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Zi-O Discussion Thread to share your thoughts and fears on this spirited return.

“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!

On the next phase of his journey across time & space, Kamen Rider Zi-O will visit the world of fan-favorite fruit dancer Kamen Rider Gaim!

A pair of returning Rider actors have been announced for this illustrious occasion:

*Gaku Sano will once again reprise his role as the titular Kamen Rider Gaim! He appears to offer guidance to the wandering Sougo.

*Not to be outdone, Yutaka Kobayashi will be returning as Kaito Kumon- better known as Kamen Rider Baron! Kaito will offer his expertise to a still-skeptical Geiz.

This adventurous meeting of Riders is currently scheduled to air November 18 2018! Be sure to join in our Ongoing Kamen Rider Zi-O Discussion Thread to share your thoughts & fears about this epic crossover!

A new trailer has been posted for the upcoming Nintendo Switch video game, Kamen Rider Climax Scramble!

Taking center stage in this new advertisement is Japanese wrestler & tokusatsu alumni Hiroshi Tanahashi teaching his young son how to digitally channel the powers of Kamen Rider.

A new round of magazine scans has hit the Internet, providing fans with a couple insights on the further adventures of Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Next up for the time-hopping Riders is a visit to the world of Kamen Rider Gaim! The fan-favorite Fruit Samurai offers a brand-new power set, creating Kamen Rider Gaim RideArmor! This new Armor takes the form of Gami’s legendary LockSeeds and unfolds after attaching to Zi-O’s head. But the Riders must defeat the monstrous Another Gaim in order to obtain this new power…

But Zi-O isn’t the ONLY one receiving an upgrade! The trusty Time Majin gains the ability to channel RiderWatches and use new attacks- the powers of Kamen Rider OOO are displayed for effect. And it seems Time Majin will also be able to channel the powers of previous Rider Vehicles- new configurations are shown based on the Captain Ghost from Kamen Rider Ghost and Castle Doran from Kamen Rider Kiva.

Finally, a brief teaser for the upcoming Heisei Generations FOREVER movie is included. Zi-O will have to team up with Kamen Rider Build to stop a threat greater than all Riders!

Definitely some exciting adventures to close out the Heisei-Era Kamen Riders! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kamen Rider Zi-O reveals.

The next issue of Figure Oh has just been teased with a censored cover. With the cover feature being the next S.H. Figuarts reveal for the Heisei Riders Rising Project.

While we’ve been let down many times before, the timing, secrecy, the unseen 20th Rider Kicks ride watch stage that was teased, the massive build up of anticipation, and frankly what is clearly the moon on the background of this cover, would imply that this could very well be the long awaited Kamen Rider Kiva.

There has been no confirmation of this figure’s identity yet, and this is purely speculation based. Your guess will be as good as ours, but our money is on Kiva. Confirmation one way or the other will be made officially on 10/24, when this cover is finally revealed in full.

Let us know what you think it might be, in the thread linked below. Just click “Discuss in the TokuNation Forums” at the bottom of this post.

New images from the latest Kamen Rider Zi-O merchandise catalog have been posted online, revealing several details about the further adventures of this anniversary series!

*Kamen Rider Zi-O upgrades to a new form- Kamen Rider Zi-O II! This new configuration splits Zi-O’s suit-literally doubling the watch decals on the chest and helmet.

*Not to be outdone, Kamen Rider Geiz uses a new hourglass-based RideWatch to become Kamen Rider Geiz Revive! The Revive form has multiple configurations- closed armor for defensive combat and open armor for heavy attacks.

But the biggest reveal in this new catalog is the THIRD Kamen Rider joining the adventure! This is our first look at Kamen Rider Woz! The green Rider from Year 2068 uses a new device known as the BeyonDriver along with his unique brand of RideWatchs- the MiraiWatch!

While Zi-O & Geiz channel the powers of past Kamen Riders, Kamen Rider Woz is able to channel the powers of FUTURE Kamen Riders! Three brand-new Riders are shown in Woz’s arsenal- Kamen Rider Shinobi, Kamen Rider Quiz & Kamen Rider Kikai. Using the MiraiWatches from each, Kamen Rider Woz can activate his Futuring Forms.

Definitely some exciting times ahead for Kamen Rider! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Zi-O reveals.
