New information for the upcoming series Kamen Rider Zi-O is slowly making its way out!

This time, we get to see a few more samples of the RideWatch Armor that grants this new Rider his powers. By activating a RideWatch in the Jikan Driver Kamen Rider Zi-O & Kamen Rider Gates can obtain the powers of past Kamen Riders!

The Armors currently shown are:


*Kamen Rider Wizard
*Kamen Rider Drive
*Kamen Rider Ghost
*Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
*Kamen Rider W
*Kamen Rider Fourze
*Kamen Rider OOO
*Kamen Rider Gaim

Additional RideWatches are shown for the remaining Heisei-Era Kamen Riders but their armors have not yet been detailed in full.

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!

The past few days have given us some impressive teasers for the next Kamen Rider series, but now at last we have a look at the first official bits of merchandise for Kamen Rider Zi-O!

A photo for the next Rider Hero Series vinyl figures has been posted online, showing off the new Kamen Rider Zi-O and the counterpart Rider, tentatively known as Kamen Rider Gates. This is our best look yet at the new suits for this Kamen Rider project!

It’s that time of year again folks! Kamen Rider Build is sadly drawing to a close, and as we say our farewells a new hero rises to take his place: Kamen Rider Zi-O who was revealed earlier in the week.

Not long after the reveal, our first toy catalog scans are beginning to surface online thanks to Twitter user @Tokullector and translations from @SpecialForm12

A few things worth noting from the translations:

  • Kamen Rider Zi-O’s belt is called the Jikku Driver
  • The second Rider shown previously is called Kamen Rider Gates
  • The form changes are called ArmorTime, both Gates and Zi-O uses RideWatches to activate these forms.
  • Kamen Rider Zi-O has ArmorTimes based on Build and Ex-Aid while Gates will use forms based on Ghost and Drive.
  • Zi-O’s default sidearm is called the JikanGrade and will have both a sword and gun mode.

Do note that what we are seeing are scans for the Gashapon toys, we’ll be seeing scans for the DX stuff in the next few days. In the meantime, stay tuned to Tokunation and we’ll provide you more updates as they become available.

We have a better look at the suit of the upcoming Kamen Rider Zi-O! As an anniversary season it does seem that Kamen Rider Zi-O will be utilizing past Riders/Legend Riders as part of the power up motif.

A second form is also present although at the time of this post we are unsure if it is a second Kamen Rider or if this is a different form (think A.M. vs P.M.). We won’t have to wait too much longer for more information so stay tuned for more news on Kamen Rider Zi-O!

After some back and forth with teases, silhouettes, and a plethora of rumors, we may finally have our very first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O!

Thanks to a tweet from @therealmatthunt we have what appears to be Zi-O sporting a pretty radical time & letters/characters based design. The images comes courtesy of a brand new Buttobasoul advert. And while it isn’t a full body shot, yet, it certainly seems to be our first legitimate look at the character.

Thanks to a new image released today, we have our first look at Kamen Rider Zi-O’s silhouette!

In a catalog flyer teasing the collectible gimmick and vinyl for Kamen Rider Zi-O, the suit itself also gets it’s first tease.  While there isn’t much to go on right now, it does seem rather telling that there are no noticeable protrusions of any kind (antennae, compound eyes, or otherwise) on Zi-O’s helmet. While that’s definitely happened before too, it’s an abrupt change from Kamen Rider Build.

So what exactly is Zi-O’s gimmick and collectible item? For now we really can’t be sure. But we will be sure to keep you updated as this story develops!

The official trademark for the next Kamen Rider series has finally been revealed!

Our next Kamen Rider will be known as Kamen Rider ZI-O! Characters used in the trademark suggest the correct pronunciation for this name should be Geo.

This new Rider is expected to begin when current series Kamen Rider Build finishes its run, presumably in late 2018.

At time of writing, no other information about ZI-O has been made available to the public. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this brand-new Kamen Rider!
